Books
Creativity flows through the veins of ministry here in Land of the Living.
Through creative expression the staff are continually finding ways to share God's heart for the world.
Our non-fiction literature dives into Christianity, theology and the church of the 21st century.
Our fiction literature dives into the "Legend of Evelyn;" a world where light and darkness meet
through anthropomorphic animals cast upon a precolonial American backdrop.

Friction: The Analog Revival is a small manifesto for living humanly in a world increasingly designed to remove resistance.
We have been promised a frictionless life: instant access, endless convenience, constant connection, and tools that require less and less of us. But somewhere along the way, we began losing something in the exchange—the dignity of effort, the texture of time, the satisfaction of repair, and the simple experience of being fully present.
Friction is not a rejection of technology or a romantic escape into the past. It is an invitation to put technology back in its proper place.
Through short reflections on attention, craftsmanship, slowness, imperfection, tools, and the sacred ordinary, C.J. Kuenzli explores what it means to recover an analog spirit in a digital age.
Write something by hand.
Repair before replacing.
Listen to the whole record.
Let silence remain silent.
Use the machine without becoming dependent upon it.
Because perhaps friction was never the problem.
Perhaps friction is what reminds us that we are touching something real.
Everything real requires resistance.
It’s Not God’s Fire is a pocket-sized exploration of a simple but disruptive idea: what if we’ve misdiagnosed the fire?
Throughout Scripture, fire burns without consuming, falls from heaven, leads through the wilderness, fills the dwelling place of God, walks through furnaces, rests upon people, and burns before the throne. We’ve called it the fire of God—something He sends, gives, or pours out.
But what if the fire isn’t something God has?
Moving from Moses and Elijah through Jesus, Pentecost, and Revelation, It’s Not God’s Fire follows the flame through Scripture and wonders what it reveals about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and humanity created in His image.
It isn’t an exhaustive theology or an attempt to settle the mystery.
It’s a spark.
May it help you burn well.
Fifty observations about Christians, Christianity,
and the ridiculous ways we complicate following Jesus.
Some are theological.
Some are sarcastic.
Some are uncomfortable.
Some might tick you off.
The problem is figuring out which ones.
Christian Books
Many Christians are familiar with Revelation 3:14-16 that says:
"Because you are lukewarm- neither hot not cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
Yet many are unaware of the lukewarm "truth" they are drinking. It is conniving and misleading, hidden messages that seem good but are ultimately guiding many away from the fullness of God.
We've accepted what was easy to swallow, hoping that it was truth. It may be safe to say that we have wandered a little too far from God's standard of truth when we accept Lukewarm instead of hot and cold theology. But what is a Lukewarm Lie, how do you recognize one, and how should you respond once you've identified them?
Lukewarm Lies will expose some of the lies running rampant throughout the 21st Century Church, teaching you how to discern each lie, break their influence and grant yourself access to the healing "hot springs" of God's presence and the "cold waters" of His refreshing Words.
The Legend of Evelyn
The first 2 books are available!
The timescale that best defines this world, from our sense of history, is frontier America. However, the Legend of Evelyn breaks past the limitations of our world and steps into a brand new one. These stories are made up of warrior otters, prophetic bears, conniving wolves and oh so much more.
Through creative writing C. J. Kuenzli hopes to free minds and hearts to live from a place of true identity. The stories associated with The Legend of Evelyn are intended to unite the mind, soul and body to experience and hope for more!
