About the Author
M.C. Lang grew up as a pastor’s kid in a small town. When M.C. was 19, one of his younger brothers was murdered at school. His family publicly extended forgiveness to the murderer, and that amazing story is captured in M. C.‘s first novel, co-written with his father, Dale Lang, entitled: Jason Has Been Shot! Confronted with his own mortality for the first time, M.C. set out to find something deeper, and that question continues today. He spent his twenties as part of a team that founded and built a drop-in center, as well as exploring simple forms of church. He also co-hosted the popular podcast "Two Fools On The Road to Emmaus," and was a regular contributor to "Rock Canada". Today, through the use of vivid settings, colorful characters, and penetrating questions, M.C. provocatively invites others to join him on the journey in search of something deeper.

More About the Author
M. C. Lang, the son of a hot-air-balloon-flying pastor, was raised in a small prairie town and spent years writing articles and producing podcasts for an online Ezine. Two events deeply marked the course of his life and helped shape the sort of questions that define his writing. The first was a mysterious illness that struck him as a teenager and acquainted him with significant suffering. The second was the random and senseless murder of one of his younger brothers, and the subsequent forgiveness extended by his family to the murderer. His first book, "Jason Has Been Shot!" was co-authored with his father, and chronicles the story of his brother's murder and the family's response. His most recent release, "The Bastard Tree," is a penetrating work of fiction that wrestles with some of the deepest questions we are all faced with.

The Bastard Tree is a wonderful story of an everyday fellow named Mike who stumbles into a bizarre and heart enlarging journey of faith and discovery. I found the story richly and warmly written with well developed, interesting and sometime eclectic characters. Lang masterfully weaves a tale of an inner journey, a journey of self-discovery which will no doubt reveal some fresh landscape to the readers own journey. I think the Bastard Tree explores themes like faith in a way that is expansive and orthodox while perhaps tipping over a few sacred cows.
