ROBERTSON, SI
You know him from the hit A&E show Duck Dynasty—now you can enjoy Uncle Si’s tall tales, crazy
exploits, and quirky one-liners in one raucous collection! “These hands are so fast, I can get your wallet
before you know it. In a minute, you’ll be standing there buck naked and won’t know what hit you!” “Look
here—if it wasn’t for my tripped knee, I’d be playing in the NBA today.” “Hey, Jack!” Any of these sound
familiar? If they do—or even if they don’t—you’re in for a good laugh. The brother of patriarch Phil
Robertson, Uncle Si has a limitless supply of stories about his childhood, duck hunting adventures, his
days in Vietnam, and everything in between. Now the best of those tales are gathered into this roaring
book.

SILENCE: A CHRISTIAN HISTORY
MACCULLOCH, DIARMID
How should one speak to God? Are our prayers more likely to be heard if we offer them quietly at home or
loudly in church? How can we really know if God is listening? From the earliest days, Christians have
struggled with these questions. Their varied answers have defined the boundaries of Christian faith and
established the language of our most intimate appeals for guidance or forgiveness. MacCulloch shows
how Jesus chose to emphasize silence as an essential part of his message and how silence shaped the
great medieval monastic communities of Europe. He also examines the darker forms of religious silence,
from the church’s embrace of slavery and its muted reaction to the Holocaust to the cover-up by Catholic
authorities of devastating sexual scandals. A groundbreaking work that will change our understanding of
the most fundamental wish to be heard by God, Silence gives voice to the greatest mysteries of faith.
