Local Author Day

Vroman's commends the works of three LA writers at this monthly event. Learn about a trio of interesting topics as the authors present and sign their non-fiction works: Bert Newton's Subversive Wisdom: Sociopolitical Dimensions of John's Gospel explains how Jesus demonstrated the "subversive wisdom of the cross" by confounding his enemies through upside-down logic from above; Jill Suzanne Shook's Making Housing Happen: Faith-Based Affordable Housing Models shares inspiring stories of congregations' solutions for the housing crisis, like an alliance of 60 churches building 5,000 homes in New York City; and Garrett Burke's Quarterama: Ideas & Designs of America's State Quarters – Pocket Change Edition divulges hidden stories behind the 50 state quarters and the national park quarters (he'll also present the gift edition, complete with a built-in coin album).
