Books by Stephen Holt

In this collection, the author opens up to share his own reality, a reality that he suspects is owned in some way or other by us all. Here you will find a searing vulnerability delivered with the necessary courage it takes to lay one's soul as bare as the author does.The collection of writings in this book are not great theology, nor do they provide any answers to the deep questions of life and faith. They are not even necessarily good poetry but are simply the honest reflections of a simple single guy on life, faith, church, and God.

Indeed, Carlos' tame crow Screamer seemed right when he cawed, "Gold, gold! It's murder!"

An exploration of mind/body medicine in relation to the heart, Holt's pluralistic medicine encompasses both the conventional and the alternative, embracing any and all treatments that are safe and effective.
