Books
Sin
In the episodes of Zakharka's life, the reader sees him as a little boy, a bitterly drinking grave-digger, a nightclub bouncer or a soldier in Chechnya. He has no money, but the ability to enjoy life. He is contagiously full of passion for living, taking large gulps of it while being happy, despite the crudeness of his reality.
Habitation of dragons
With disarming honesty and openness, Keith Miller writes about agonizing encounters with personal dragons--Lonliness ... a sense of insecurity, frustration, anxiety, guilt feelings, fear, resentment, critical attitudes, prejudice, mixed motives and dishonesty in relationships.
A Second Touch
Deals on an intensely personal level. It is reassuring, for it renews our confidence in the meaning of the Christian life as we act out our faith in the context of the structure of the church.
Facing codependence
Discusses the symptoms of codependence, explains how child abuse and dysfunctional family life can cause the condition, and suggests a path toward recovery.
