Book Description
Nathanael West was only thirty-seven when he died in 1940, but his depictions of the sometimes comic, sometimes horrifying aspects of the American scene rival those of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor. A Cool Million, written in 1934, is a satiric Horatio Alger story set in the midst of the Depression. The Dream Life of Balso Snell (1931) was described by one critic as "a fantasy about some rather scatological adventures of the hero in the innards of the Trojan horse."

Book Description
A great American satirist, Nathanael West laughs in the face of the Horatio Alger myth. Like many an Alger, Lemuel Pitkin leaves his home on the farm to seek his fortune in the Big City. By the time he is through, he has been robbed, jailed, has lost his teeth, his eye, a leg, his scalp, and has witnessed a remarkable number of assults and political riots. In A Cool Million, West etches a classic parable of America in the chaotic Thirties.

Book Description
You might think that a man who has authored several books, serves on several boards, was at one time known as an intellectual and a poet, and who eventually became president of Denver Seminary, might be intimidating and high brow. Not Vernon Grounds. In Transformed by Love, you'll discover a man who has earned the love and respect of all who know him, who persevered through some of the most turbulent years of modern evangelicalism, and who is a role model for living out faith, hope, and above all, love. Includes photographs.
