In the wake of the furious demonstrations and debates evoked by terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere, Dr. Anderson's pithy essays unfold respectful, moderating responses that take seriously the cultural and religious differences that breed resentment between peoples and convulse the media. Written from a Reformed theological perspective, his reflections unfold the dynamics of free and faithful self-expression that promise happier, human-scaled, interpersonal, international, and inter-faith relations. Whether your communications are across the back fence, on the political stump, from the pulpit, writer's desk, or TV stage–whether you are a teacher, corporate agent, public servant, or soldier, you will find yourself reinforced and challenged to deepen the very roots of your calling and speak out in the fullest freedom.

Paul Snell, novice reporter, gets assigned a weekly column on chess, mostly because of his faux-filial attachment to the Hane Tribune's owner Waldo Turner. In return Snell promises to attend to, and probably marry, Waldo's fragile, unhinged niece Pamela Snow.

During the summer of 1980 at the Interzonal Finals in Manila, Philippines Spendip is persuaded to aid an uprising against dictator Ferdinand Marcos by deliberately losing a crucial match. But that gesture slips into a gory, comic fiasco. The novel is an ironic commentary on the nature of chess, chance, and love, in revolutionary circumstances.
