Robert White
Word Alive Press, 2011

ChristianWeek Ontario editor and Faith Journal radio host Robert White’s small gift book on Ecclesiastes was the 2010 Word Alive Press free publishing contest non-fiction winner.

A revision of a 2003 publication, the new edition demonstrates the why and how, and the Anabaptist roots, of set prayers.
