"Streams of Contentment" is a book full of smiles—or at least, that was my experience. Wicks’ heartwarming tales of the farm blend easily with his stories about encounters with patients and colleagues in his professional practice, and all have lessons to tell. Read more

“I began to wonder what would happen if men everywhere embraced their God-given destiny to defend and protect the vulnerable women and children in their communities. What would happen if, in addition to unleashing their strength, skills and passion on the sports field, in the office or behind their computer screens, and they discovered their true masculinity by answering this call to arms and action.” –Daniel Walker, God in a Brothel The words “God” and “brothel” in the same book...

God in a Brothel: A Story of Love, Liberation and Bravado

Last updated on: November 17, 2011 at 12:12 am By Guest Contributor

A story of love, liberation and bravado, God in a Brothel is an effective text to confront the naiveté of complacent American Christianity with the harsh realities and levels of sin in this world generally and in this own country specifically. Walker’s story thus operates as a call for American Christians to question to what degree they share characteristics with abusers when they ignore the plight of the impoverished, those to whom Jesus referred to as “least of these.” Read more

I really enjoyed all of the blogs and reviews about my book, Mutants & Mystics, but Eric, aka ol’ Meta-man, probably came closest to the spirit of what I was trying to do in the book. Because of the comparative mystical literature that I have been absorbed in for the last three decades, I do in fact suspect that we are all “eddies of a vast ocean” or World Soul, that “we are all infinite, all the time.” Read more
