Books with author Walter Wick

You may have seen drawings of impossible objects, but have you ever seen them photographed? Wick's book of optical illusions leaves readers of all ages wondering just how the I Spy photographer does it! This book combines fascinating optical illusions with simple explanations of how the visual tricks work. Photos of "Stairs to Nowhere," "The Phantom of the Forest," and more seemingly improbable images are a delightful treat for the eye and mind. Beautiful, challenging, and just really fun, this book has to be seen to be believed. And once you see it, you won't be able to put it down! * "Highly sophisticated . . . Certainly not in the usual stripe of books on optical illusions." -- School Library Journal, starred review *

Repressive authoritarian regimes are falling and fragile new democracies emerging around the globe. How are longstanding conflicts and deep divisions to be healed and enemies reconciled without breeding further injustices? To answer this question, Walter Wink here applies his compelling analysis of "the Powers, " as they appear in the New Testament, to the global scene. Surveying the wrenching religious and ethical dilemmas involved in transitions from despotism to democracy, Wink neatly summarizes key concepts from his Fortress Press trilogy on the Powers, including sections on "Jesus against Domination" and "Nonviolence." He then shows how central concepts in the teaching of Jesus can clarify true and false ideas of forgiveness and reconciliation and apology - without sacrificing justice. The personal, political, and geopolitical pertinence of Wink's ideas shines in his discussion of specific situations in Africa and Latin America.

Taffy is a short story about a doggy and her human family. It is sad, happy, and poignant. It is about choices, some good, some bad, and some that are just choices not good or bad, they are what they are. Mostly it is a children's story for adults. Preface -- Who do you work for? That was the question asked of me before children and before Taffy. Every party, social event and gathering. I use to laugh and say I work for no one. When Taffy arrived I soon started to think I really worked for her. Now that she is gone I am certain of this. The reasons I will tell you inside my story. I was so clueless that Taffy was my master, no my teacher, my doggy. --
