After an extended stretch of higher education, Dr. Duane Hix responded to the call of ordained ministry in the Presbyterian Church (USA). How We Got to Where We Are: Modernity, Postmodernism and Christian Faith is the combination of those two experiences. The book introduces astute laypersons, pastors, and students of religion to the interplay between philosophy and theology over the last 500 years. Focusing on underlying questions like how revelation and reason interact, Hix takes a reader-friendly approach to the changes in three primary themes: our understanding of freedom, history, and happiness. The book is comprehensive in its breadth, providing a useful introduction to epistemological questions, political implications and ethical dilemmas in the modern and postmodern world. "Duane Hix, Ph.D. clearly understands the power of critical ideas and how they have shaped the last five hundred years. But he also has a gift for making the interplay of philosophy and theology accessible to anyone interested in a serious response to the question, "How do we know what we know?" He has the mind of a highly skilled scholar and the heart of a pastor who has repeatedly climbed into a pulpit believing careful language about God matters for how we live."M.

She's a witty self-monologue-er, a brilliant thief, and capable of calculating all the situations she finds herself in. The only thing she can't con her way out of is magic, and, well... she's been dropped right into the middle of it. Mysteriously transported to a forbidden kingdom on the other side of the world, a chance meeting with a beggar leads her to believe that nothing about her arrival here seems accidental. Finding an unlikely ally in the charming princess is enticing, but this is no time to catch feelings. When the princess begs for her help to end a curse, she soon learns that she's in over her head; her own past and the kingdom's future collide, resting the fate of the known world in her hands.
