{"product_id":"lamb-bright-saviors-robert-vivian-9780803213807","title":"Lamb Bright Saviors","description":"\"Robert Vivian's prose is lyrical and harrowing--harrowing in the Biblical sense,\" Sven Birkerts said of \u003ci\u003eThe Mover of Bones\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book in Vivian's Tall Grass Trilogy. That same lyrical power carries this new volume to a place of hard-won hope and redemption at once both spiritual and earthly. \u003ci\u003eLamb Bright Saviors\u003c\/i\u003e begins as an apocalyptically inclined itinerant preacher staggers across the Nebraska prairie. With his young assistant, Mady, in tow hauling a wagon stacked with bibles, it's not long before the preacher finds he's come to the final fulfillment of his self-proclaimed life's work: to die in front of a group of strangers. Odd as his own end-of-days might be, the lives and struggles of the strangers attending this deathbed scene are even odder. As the dying preacher unleashes a barrage of hallucinatory ramblings and rantings in the hope of imparting wisdom, each ragtag member of this unlikely congregation must reckon with his or her own dark past. And, through it all, the irrepressible Mady lends the preacher's strange performance a surprising and unforgettable dignity and humor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Vivian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803213808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803213807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.46w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/04\/2010 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 61","brand":"Robert Vivian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449940439295,"sku":"9780803213807","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0d9d172-70ce-4af0-97e1-55fd1869c81a.jpg?v=1698501865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lamb-bright-saviors-robert-vivian-9780803213807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
