Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Blue Ice and Other Stories from the Rink by Frank Ewert
I’m not much of a hockey fan, but this book made me want to be. A modest collection of hockey-loving stories, Ewert celebrates hockey like only a Canadian could.
I met @jasonfrankewert when he lived in Moscow, Idaho, and we’re twitter pals. He’s a cool guy.
I copy-edited this book.

RazorMouth.com - An online webzine of “cutting-edge Christianity”
Joel J. Miller’s brainchild, RM was a largely Protestant theological webzine for the average Christian. We covered culture, theology, beer, cigars, politics, as well as practical matters (like family life), with regular contributions from David Bahsen, Jeremy Lott, Dale Meador, P. Andrew Sandlin, R.C. Sproul Jr., John Whitehead (and a few other guys), with occasional contributions from Douglas Wilson and others.
We covered the gamut. Theological topics included Federal Vision (before we knew there was one), Law/Gospel, and end times; we reviewed or discussed movies like Legally Blonde, Bruce Almighty, and Matrix; we danced about to the tunes of Joy Electric, Vigilantes of Love, and Death Cab for Cutie; and there was plenty about libertarian politics.
It was great fun and a headache all wrapped into one. Joel and I remember those days with both a chuckle and a cringe.
I was the Managing Editor and a contributor from roughly 2001 to 2005, or something like that. It was primarily through RazorMouth that I figured out how to write and learned a thing or two about editing. (Thanks, Joel!)
(The domain now belongs to someone else entirely, and we have nothing to do with that.)
Heaven Misplaced: Christ’s Kingdom on Earth by Douglas Wilson
This is my favorite book on “end-times” theology and the question of the nature of Christ’s kingdom. I was the copy-editor.

The Handbook of Vintage Remedies
My friend Jessie Hawkins has given us THE definitive guide to a homeopathic approach to treating whatever ails ya. Though written with conscientious moms in mind, I have given away about a dozen copies of this book to men and women alike. Jessie is a wellness professional who regularly trains others in homeopathic courses. Next time, instead of drugging up, see how you do with herbs.
I enjoyed editing this book.
