A whimsical warmhearted autobiography of a twelve-year-old who became a great trial lawyerThe oldest of four children in a prototypical Irish Catholic family, Pierce O’Donnell recounts growing up in a village with more cows than residents with his WWII-hero father, who owns the only liquor store; his intellectual mother, the librarian; his spinster aunt, the local postmaster; his three younger sisters; and a ghost named Nora. Last Pick adroitly conjures up a bygone era in which this young boy’s biggest concerns were making the Little League Team (he never did), not freezing to death delivering a newspaper, making Eagle Scout, and learning Latin as a reluctant altar boy allergic to incense. This self-deprecating story of a determined, well-meaning underdog will delight O’Donnell’s fellow Baby Boomers and enchant younger generations for years to come with its witty and timeless humor.

In this book I provide my answers to the questions which mankind has asked since the beginning of time: Is there a God? Is there a heaven? Is there an after-life? Do we reincarnate? Do we have an eternal soul? What is a "soul"? After 75 years of life as a lawyer, professor, author, professional athlete, father, husband, brother and friend to many, I have had innumerable experiences, just as every other mature adult has. I have traveled extensively, seen much and done much. I think it is my duty, and responsibility, to share my thoughts on such matters. I know full-well that no one knows, for certain, what those answers are, and probably never will. Regardless, I think every man and woman must examine their lives, and be ready to answer such questions if there is, in fact, a "God" to whom we must provide such answers. As Socrates said many centuries ago, an unexamined life is not worth leading. It is one thing to think about such things, and then to say them out loud, and quite another to put them down on paper for others to read and criticize. I am not trying to convince others that I am right and they are wrong. Again, as Socrates was reportedly quite fond of saying, I know nothing. I have examined my life and these are the conclusions I have reached.
In lively story-telling fashion, Pierce Kelley, author of over two dozen books, both fiction and non-fiction, tells the stories of how he and his three brothers have created a tradition of taking mostly white-water rafting trips with their sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grand-nephews and friends over the last 50 years on over 50 rivers across the United States, and into other countries, like Ireland, New Zealand and Canada. In doing so, they have passed their love of the adventure to the next generation of Kelleys, and they have created a strong family bond in the process. Readers will enjoy the thrills of victories and the agonies of defeats as the various family members experience both successes and near-successes along the way. It is a book which all who love being in nature, on rivers, whether calm or tempestuous, or in mountains or on the high seas will enjoy. It will make everyone, young and old, want to get in a canoe, kayak, rubber-ducky or raft and go down a river, with their family and friends.

What if giving can change the world? Well, it can. In fact, it already has. And you have the opportunity to join in the movement that God has begun, a movement close to his own heart. Giving is how God changes the world. We're often focused on what we can take or receive from God and others. But in The Book of Giving, the author reveals that this is stunting the growth of our souls. The God who always gives-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-has invited us into his giving circle. In that circle, we don't just hope to receive. We hope to move the giving forward-to receive, give thanks, and give back. This movement of giving is at the center of all relationships. Join the author as he uses gifts as a perspective on who God is, who we are, and what the world is like. This book is packed with reader resources to help you study yourself and grow as a giver. It's not just a book to read; it's a book to eat, a book that will energize change in your daily life. The changes God will make in the world can start inside you with the smallest seeds, with a prayer, a conversation, a cup of coffee. Change starts with giving. And you'll be amazed at the results. Come see God from a fresh perspective and find yourself anew in The Book of Giving.

We all go through hard things. Do we miss the most important truth in the midst of them? In this book, the author argues that we usually do. Hard things are shaping things. In the difficult experiences we face, we can find the voice of a God who gave himself to hard things so that he could be with us in ours. We can always find hope in our hard things because we know that God will shape us through them in profound ways. In fact, hard things shape us in ways easy things can't. Join award-winning Christian writer Pierce Taylor Hibbs (author of Struck Down but Not Destroyed and Finding God in the Ordinary) as he walks through his father's early death, his anxiety disorder, and his struggles with self-doubt, showing how God shapes us in powerful ways through our hardest things. If you've been walking through hard things, you won't want to miss this powerful testament to the God who gives himself to us.Endorsements"We have come to expect the highest standards of Christian orthodoxy argued with remarkable clarity from Pierce Hibbs. Increasingly, though, his passion about facing the tough parts of life with ultimate confidence bring a dimension with them impossible to fabricate. They come to us with unusual honesty. I don't believe I know of any writings quite like his. Pastoral, practical and profoundly biblical, every Christian will be rewarded by these journeys into suffering and grace." - William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary"Hibbs's writing-clear, crisp, and passionate-makes for an easy read. And yet behind that simplicity is a depth that comes from someone who has been in a 'fellowship of Jesus's suffering.' When you meet a fellow traveler, like Pierce Taylor Hibbs, that has been through the valley of shadow of death, you want to sit down and listen. Hibbs will give you hope in the midst of your hard things." - Paul E. Miller, best-selling author of A Praying Life and J-Curve"There is redemptive beauty and meaning in the brokenness of this world. In the hard things, the really hard things, God speaks to us, and Pierce gives us the ears to hear." - Roger Lowther, author of The Broken Leaf"This is a case for suffering we need to consider. In his latest work, Finding Hope in Hard Things, Pierce Taylor Hibbs tackles the challenging reality of hardship in our lives. With biblical clarity and engaging experience, Hibbs writes winsomely about the positive side of suffering, while including personal pains, and how God shapes us by His grace-at times calling us to rejoice. Read this book and you will not only be encouraged and comforted, you will see and know the steadfast character of the One who stands with you in the hard things.." - Nathaniel Schill, Founder of Shepherd ApologeticsReader CommentsJust like Pierce Taylor Hibbs's other books, this read was so encouraging and helpful as I navigate through the trials and struggles in my life. Pierce uses life experiences and scripture to reveal how God uses our struggles to draw is closer to His side. I gladly purchased several more to pass on to friends and family who have been going through hard things.Poetic, honest and raw. The author shares deeply from his own experience and points readers to the depths of who God is and what he does for us in pain.Pierce Taylor Hibbs not only packs his books with theological and doctrinal truths that are well explained and easy to understand, but also has a reading voice/writing style that is so inviting to his readers.
A landmark work on language and the doctrine of the Trinity. From 2015-2022, Pierce Taylor Hibbs (MAR, ThM Westminster Theological Seminary) wrote a series of articles that delved into the mysteries of God and language. Each article was published in Westminster Theological Journal. All of these articles are now collected for the first time, with a foreword by Vern Sheridan Poythress. Scholars, theologians, and philosophers alike will find much in this volume to engage with and pursue even further.One of the most mysterious truths is that God speaks. As creatures, we speak in his image. What are the implications of this revealed truth? In this collection of essays, the author expounds and explores the relationship between language and the doctrine of the Trinity. The topics range from a theological definition of language, to language as a proof of God's existence, to the nature of metaphor, and even a "linguistic ontology," that is, a theory of how all things exist only because of God's divine speech. Theologians, scholars, and researchers will find much to engage with here, especially in the work of Kenneth L. Pike, whose language theory the author has studied at great length. Read, explore, and marvel at the God who is always speaking, and who has given language to us as a holy gift.
Losing a parent can reveal much about who you are. Award-winning Christian author Pierce Taylor Hibbs (author of Struck Down but Not Destroyed and Finding Hope in Hard Things) offers a concise and gripping memoir that chronicles his spiritual journey through losing his father at a young age. In a narrative that blends prose, art, and intimacy, he shows three things grief has taught him about being a human. First is transience, the passing away of himself and all things. Second is limitation, which allows for human relationships. Third is perspective, seeing the world from a certain place. Last is hope, choosing to believe that there is more to life than what we see. The memoir works through these words in relation to his father's death, drawing out deep spiritual observations that serve to remind readers who they are. Hibbs takes what is a universal experience and makes it tangible for readers without removing its relevance for their own lives. These are words to be felt and experienced, not merely read.
