"These prose poems catch in modern idiom and circumstance the rhythms of the Psalmic
tradition in which they stand. Rich with rough-hewn epiphanies and the sudden shocks of
perfected phrasings, they continue into our present and private experience the themes of
lament, accusation, repentance and praise, themes which, since the days of David himself,
have found their most cordial and powerful expression in the formal poetry of the Psalm."
--Phyllis Tickle "Here are modern psalms worthy to put beside the best of the ancient ones."--John Killinger "The depth and passion of the Psalms come through here in praise and lament, sorrow and joy,
questioning and affirmation. I have used some of the poems liturgically. The book is also
helpful for personal prayer. Like the psalmists, Bell is not afraid to look around and listen
to God and even talk back to God. He explores the wonders of creation, tells of injustices in
the world, cries out about our ravaged creation, and calls us to passionate concern for the
downtrodden and oppressed."--Arthur P. Boers, The Christian Ministry
"Bell's fiction reads like falling dominoes. His suspense ending to Night Places is
worthy of the best in surprise twists"--Carol Howard, Austin American Statesman "Exciting reading for ages 12 and up"--Christian Bookseller
"A collection of stories, songs, poems, sermons, all thrown at us with nothing
to hold them together but the author's passionate love of God, God who is like the silver wolf
of the book's title, who is with us, who cares."--Madeleine L'Engle
"This is a book that should be not only in every library but in every home. . . .
Martin Bell has taken the clearest catechetical approach to teaching the Good News and
made it a delight. Can you tell I love this book?"--Miriam F. Cummings in Lutheran Libraries
"Written in an easy narrative style, the stories unfold in the manner of true storytelling, the once-upon-a-time, matter-of-fact sort of tale grandparents passed on by word of mouth to a new generation of listeners. . . . This is an especially delightful book to hear or to read, to share or to treasure, to be enjoyed by each in his own way."--Living Church
Now available! Martin Bell's own reading of all the stories from The Way of the Wolf in a double-CD set

Street Singing and Preaching: A Book of New Psalms
$15.00 hardback
"Bell loves words and knows what to do to make faith palpable and life livable.
His poetry is not unlike liturgic dance. We are led to the edge of our rational discernment,
and then slightly beyond with an awed gasp. His phrases are like a cascade in which newness
tumbles out, so quick and so crafted."--Walter Brueggemann
Reviews of
Night Places: A Suspense Adventure
$6.00 quality paperback
"Not only is [this book] a thriller chiller, which will keep the reader turning the pages,
but (as one would expect from Martin Bell), there are riches beneath the story. Martin Bell
has important things to say about unresolved grief, . . . most importantly in his protagonist,
Carter, as the events of the nearly disastrous search for the lost teacher help her to resolve
her own grief, so that she can move on creatively, rather than destructively, with her own life.
A new book by Martin Bell is a special treat."--Madeleine L'Engle
