Magnificent Churches

A story of pioneer optimism, abiding faith and people who longed for the kind of community they had left behind in Europe. At the turn of the century, Benedictine missionaries and homesteading immigrants still living in earthen dwellings collaborated to build awe-inspiring churches of stone and stained glass. Churches at Mandan, Devils Lake, Richardton, and Strasburg, ND and Hoven, SD are presented in detail. More than one hundred color photographs capture the magnificence of these five churches.

By: J. Coomber and Sheldon Green.

Girl on a Float

Girl on a Float is a collection of stories with a shared setting and recurring conflicts, most of which involve civilization and nature in some kind of revealing interaction. Brian Bedard reveals the northern plains experience as it takes shape in a variety of dramatic situations. That experience invariably involves the challenges of living in a wild space, which tests people’s physical strength and their practical wits within a raw and unpredictable climate. In this environment, you simply cannot ignore the natural world as a reminder and a teacher. The wind, for example, won’t let you.

Fifteenth Commandment, The

It is the summer of 1965, and seventeen-year-old Nick Baarda is under pressure from his religious sect to conform to its rigid rules of behavior, including prohibitions on “worldly” activities like dancing and going to movies. On the other hand, Nick and his best friends are determined to enjoy modern life to the fullest, and they devise their own Commandment to give themselves free rein. They also plan to leave town the following year when they graduate from their parochial high school. When a new minister arrives, he makes it clear that he intends to keep the boys firmly under his thumb, and this sets in motion an extended contest of wills. Complicating things is the pastor’s daughter, who becomes Nick’s intellectual soulmate while not reciprocating his romantic overtures. The result for Nick is a roller coaster of infatuation and frustration, while he and the other boys share raucous adventures and deal with relationships, conflict, and calamity. Through it all, Nick wrestles with the quirks and hypocrisy he sees in his religion, and as graduation nears, he is forced to decide whether he will stay or break free.
