      Miz Lil and the Chronicles of Grace evokes the experience of growing up American and living out a spiritual quest. Culled from author Walter Wangerin's childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and his years as an inner-city pastor, these twelve interwoven stories, beautifully told, lend flesh, feeling, and immediacy. We meet Grandpa Storck, a man of immense stature and enduring love. Jolanda Jones, whose beauty and brazen mannerisms belie a haunting vulnerability. And unforgettable Miz Lil, whose few, quiet words speak with the force of sorrow, experience, and faith. Full of emotion and passion, Miz Lil and the Chronicles of Grace unfolds the moving story of a pastor and storyteller's career, in which the deeply spiritual and the warmly human walk together.

      Winner of the American Book Award, Walter Wangerin's allegorical fantasy concerns a time when the sun turned around the earth and animals could speak, when Chauntecleer the Rooster ruled over a more or less peaceful kingdom. What the animals did not know was that they were the Keeper of Wyrm, monster of Evil long imprisoned beneath the earth. And Wyrm, sub terra, was breaking free.

      In Storycraft: The Art of Spiritual Narrative, celebrated author Walter Wangerin Jr. illustrates the power of well-told stories and shows how important embracing story is as an essential tool for preaching and teaching the gospel. The book offers a theology of story that is profoundly incarnational as the Word takes on flesh in practiced speech.

    • Mit „Jesus“ hat Walter Wangerin - nach dem Bestseller „Das Buch von Gott“ und „Paulus“ - seinen dritten biblischen Roman geschrieben. Darin wird die wichtigste Geschichte des Christentums erzählt: Die Geschichte von Jesus. Poetisch, lebensprall, voller Emotion, drastisch, packend, aufwühlend, reich an historischen Details und immer dicht an der biblischen Überlieferung.

    • V románě Život apoštola Pavla (2000) se autor obrací k životu jednoho z prvních zvěstovatelů evangelia v helénském a latinském světě. Spisovatel nechává zaznít mnohohlas Pavlových současníků, jeho nejbližších přátel a spolupracovníků (Prisca a Aquila,Timotej), ale světcův portrét zároveň nenásilně buduje i jakoby okrajovými poznámkami, například římského filosofa Seneky. Na více než čtyřech stech stranách románu se tak před námi postupně vynořuje plastický portrét této nejednoduché postavy z prvního století křesťanských dějin. Wangerinova kniha je vystavěna nejen s porozuměním Pavlovu poselství a životu prvotních křesťanů, ale též s hlubokou znalostí antického světa.
