“The perfect book for inquisitive agnostics and atheists, and progressive Christians, too.”

You can order THE BIBLE REEXAMINED: Eve Is a Hero. Mary Is Not a Virgin. Jesus Is Not the Way from your local bookstore or from Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown. Or call 304-876-3486 to reserve a copy to pick up later. Also available in digital format on Amazon.

  • As a talk show host and columnist, I struggle to write commentaries that are coherent, interesting, accurate, and, once in a great while, even poignant. Somehow, Randy Tremba has found a way to master the craft. The topics of his observations range from weighty issues of justice and peace to what it means to lose your favorite tree. You can make quick work of an entertaining anecdote, often tinged with self-deprecating humor, or allow the story to settle and seep into your soul for further reflection. 

    — Hoppy Kercheval
    Host of MetroNews Talkline

Let Love Arise (4th printing) is also available at Amazon or at Four Seasons Books or by special order wherever fine books are sold.

  • There is no better treat for the mind and soul than a dose of loving wisdom. I know that from my own experience as a regular reader of Tremba’s essays in the GOOD NEWS PAPER. They are always good news. Put together in this book makes them even more special—helpful and delectable.

I inadvertently found out that my first-ever best friend died last month. I didn’t weep. I gasped.
