Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

THE INVISIBLE HOUSE OF GODThere was a hole in my heart, only God's love could fill; He restored my soul in gentleness and promised my greatest hopes to be fulfilled. "Your life matters more than you know," He said. "You are fearfully and wonderfully made. This special gift I have saved just for you, a place of refuge, your spiritual shade. You have been in life's elements far to long, an eternal shelter we must build." He handed me His Word and said, "you'll need this; it's your blueprint for how to live. I created in you every good and perfect work; you have been gifted in perfect measure. From now on, you will labor only for Me and lay up in Heaven, your eternal treasure." I began the task of building, brick by brick, good works, all for His glory. It was often difficult, you understand, for I had no script for my story. At times I felt I was laboring in vain, because this house - I could not see it. "Look deep into your soul, ' He said to me, "search with your heart; destiny will reveal it!" Slowly and surely I began to see, for He prophesied and revealed in part! To think it was here all along, only hidden in the deepest reaches of the heart! I continued here in life's storms and elements, sometimes still feeling alone, But just when I thought I would tire completely, there was my Savior building stone by stone. In the fullness of time, I saw an end to my days. Christ and I are now face to face, and for all eternity, here will I live, so glad not to have quit life's spiritual race! He prepared a place where thieves cannot break in and steal, an inheritance for not growing weary in well doing. Had I realized all along, in His Kingdom this house belonged, I would have known that on streets of gold, a mansion I was building! A.C.T.S.

From the Laws of Mount Misery: There are no laws in psychiatry. Now, from the author of the riotous, moving, bestselling classic, The House of God, comes a lacerating and brilliant novel of doctors and patients in a psychiatric hospital. Mount Misery is a prestigious facility set in the rolling green hills of New England, its country club atmosphere maintained by generous corporate contributions. Dr. Roy Basch (hero of The House of God) is lucky enough to train there *only to discover doctors caught up in the circus of competing psychiatric theories, and patients who are often there for one main reason: they've got good insurance. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Your colleagues will hurt you more than your patients. On rounds at Mount Misery, it's not always easy for Basch to tell the patients from the doctors: Errol Cabot, the drug cowboy whose practice provides him with guinea pigs for his imaginative prescription cocktails . . . Blair Heiler, the world expert on borderlines (a diagnosis that applies to just about everybody) . . . A. K. Lowell, née Aliyah K. Lowenschteiner, whose Freudian analytic technique is so razor sharp it prohibits her from actually speaking to patients . . . And Schlomo Dove, the loony, outlandish shrink accused of having sex with a beautiful, well-to-do female patient. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Psychiatrists specialize in their defects. For Basch the practice of psychiatry soon becomes a nightmare in which psychiatrists compete with one another to find the best ways to reduce human beings to blubbering drug-addled pods, or incite them to an extreme where excessive rage is the only rational response, or tie them up in Freudian knots. And all the while, the doctors seem less interested in their patients' mental health than in a host of other things *managed care insurance money, drug company research grants and kickbacks, and their own professional advancement. From the Laws of Mount Misery: In psychiatry, first comes treatment, then comes diagnosis. What The House of God did for doctoring the body, Mount Misery does for doctoring the mind. A practicing psychiatrist, Samuel Shem brings vivid authenticity and extraordinary storytelling gifts to this long-awaited sequel, to create a novel that is laugh-out-loud hilarious, terrifying, and provocative. Filled with biting irony and a wonderful sense of the absurd, Mount Misery tells you everything you'll never learn in therapy. And it's a hell of a lot funnier.
