  "Luci Shaw is a legend" —Christianity Today
  This captivating collection of poems by beloved author Luci Shaw, reflects on daily ideas and activities as they arrive, bit by bit, to illuminate us with their wisdom and enlarge on the meanings of human experience. Like small messages from beyond, these incidents call us to pay attention.
  In An Incremental Life, Shaw breathes life into the simpleness of the every-day and finds God in the memory of the mundane. Through her verses, she explores the intricate tapestry of existence, from the tender memories of childhood to the profound questions of mortality. Her poems are like windows opening to the soul, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and savor the beauty of the world around them.
  
  
  INCREMENTS
  
  
  I live by increments, single
  
  
  breaths of an ambient air,
  
  
  marking off hours, days.
  
  
   
  
  
  Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio
  in sequentiae, edging every step
  
  
  forward before venturing the next.
  
  
   
  
  
  Staggering up towards the stony
  
  
  crests of the foothills, dusty, I am
  
  
  almost undone with weariness, only half
  
  
  believing that the view will widen.
  
  
   
  
  
  In my falling upward into your home,
  
  
  O Faithful One, stay with me,
  
  
  your wind music playing the ear of
  
  
  my mind like an instrument.
  
  
   
  
  "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw

  The Book Club Boyfriend Effect

  The Book Club Boyfriend Effect is a sharp, warm exploration of how fictional love interests quietly shape our real expectations of romance. Starting from the familiar scene—a group of readers swooning, roasting, and dissecting the latest “book boyfriend”—it shows how those conversations become rehearsal spaces for our ideals, our secret fears, and the stories we tell about what we’d “never” tolerate. 
   The book unpacks how we co-create these perfect partners in our heads, then compare real people to carefully orchestrated character arcs, often without realizing it. At the same time, it argues that fiction can expand our sense of what’s possible: respect, consent, emotional literacy, and tenderness that we might never have seen modeled elsewhere. Instead of blaming books or glorifying fantasy, The Book Club Boyfriend Effect helps readers separate aesthetic tropes from non-negotiable values, use stories as mirrors rather than measuring sticks, and bring the best of their reading life back into their real relationships—with more honesty, less performance, and a lot more compassion for themselves.

  "Stories From The Faerie Queene" is a retelling or abridged version of Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene," which is a richly imaginative allegorical work dedicated to celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. The poem, originally published in the late 16th century, weaves tales of knights, dragons, maidens, and quests to represent virtues and human struggles. The stories within are adaptations of Spenser's intricate stanzas into prose or shorter narratives that make the text more accessible while maintaining its magical and moral complexity.
