  • 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.

We are loud. We are strong. We are organized. We are unflappable. Or so I thought.
