Schrödinger’s Faith
by Bob Seay
From the Author: Although anyone may enjoy this book, Schrödinger’s Faith was written especially for Exvangelicals, the Exvangelical-curious, and for people who still attend an Evangelical church but no longer feel comfortable there. It is a novel, not a deconstruction memoir. There are no "Christian dumb / Atheist smart" tropes. There is also no Prodigal Son imagery. It's about people trying to make their way through a difficult time as best as they can.

I Know Why Old Men Plant Trees
The story of a man defying authoritarianism, algorithms, and the zucchini police, with the enduring hope that even the smallest roots can break through concrete. Wendell Jones once enforced the rules of conformity as an Algorithmic Landscape Compliance Officer. Now, disillusioned and unemployed, he plants a single outlawed flower in a sterile neighborhood park—a small, forbidden gesture that sets in motion a chain of events far greater than he imagined.
The Bookseller's Son
Great for book clubs!
Jeremiah Malone grew up stocking shelves in his parents’ small-town Arkansas bookstore—a place famous for its banned books display and infamous for annoying local censors. His parents made a name for themselves as free speech activists, even if it sometimes meant Jeremiah just wanted to blend in, or at least not end up on the evening news.
When his parents retire and a fresh wave of censorship sweeps through town, Jeremiah faces a choice: pick up where his parents left off, or try to lead a quieter life that doesn’t involve angry meetings or suspicious glances at the grocery store. But as threats mount and the stakes get personal, Jeremiah finds that staying quiet has its own consequences. Especially when Millicent Spate, Clear Spring’s most enthusiastic book-banner, decides to make him and his store her personal project.
The story is set in the 1970s, but it’s hardly ancient history. In 2023–2024 alone, schools saw over 10,000 book bans—a 200% increase from the year before. Apparently, everything old is new again.
The Bookseller’s Son is about family legacy, the cost of silence, and what it really takes to speak up—even if you’d rather just be left alone in the back room with a good book. Read it while you still can.
Dad
Jacob Martin’s life is not going well. His marriage is falling apart, his job is on the border of legal and illegal, and he’s living in what could generously be described as a dump. Now Dad, whose memory and mental faculties aren’t exactly what they once were, has decided to drive from Cincinnati to Colorado for a surprise visit. At least that was the plan, until John got lost along the way. Forced into an unplanned road trip to retrieve his father, Jacob finds love, enlightenment, and ultimately himself along the way.
