Jack Cady (March 20, 1932[1] – January 14, 2004[1]) was an American author. He is most known as an award winning fantasist and horror writer. In his career he won the Nebula Award, the World Fantasy Award, and the Bram Stoker Award.[2]
Cady was a conscientious objector during the Korean War, but served in the U.S. Coast Guard in Maine. Later in life, he held several jobs, including truck driver, auctioneer, landscaper and finally university instructor. He first taught creative writing at the University of Washington from 1968 until 1973, and he then he had a number of short teaching stints at colleges in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Alaska from 1973 to 1978. In 1985 he began teaching writing at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington, and he retired from that post in 1998. Cady married fellow writer Carol Orlock in 1977, and they remained together until his death. Cady's collected literary papers were donated to the Mortvedt Library at Pacific Lutheran in the spring of 2006.
A master of the short story, Cady is perhaps best known for the Nebula-winning tale "The Night We Buried Road Dog" (1993). His work at shorter lengths also won him a place in the Best American Short Stories anthologies of 1971 and 1972.
Cady also wrote science fiction. The dystopian novel McDowell's Ghost concerns a modern-day Southerner who keeps seeing the ghost of an ancestor killed during the Civil War; the spirit helps McDowell obtain justice for a female friend who was raped. Cady was born in Kentucky and McDowell's Ghost was his attempt to explain the Southern code of conduct with a reverence matched only by William Faulkner.
Cady was also a major believer in the value of history, not only towards understanding politics, but also writing itself. One of his books was The American Writer: Shaping a Nation's Mind, a survey of American literature.

Christ's Kingdom Commission and Study Guide
Author: David J. Andersen

To say that I have enjoyed this book is an understatement. It is biblical, thought provoking, insightful and inspiring. Some things in the Scripture are obvious and some seem not to be — but — once you look become obvious. The Great Commission not only establishes a mission but also a strategy as revealed by the careful study of God’s Word done by David Andersen in his book Christ's Kingdom Commission — It is exciting is to see how the Apostles in general and Paul in particular embrace this commission by employing the strategy of the Great Commission in where they would go for evangelism, discipleship and church planting. Read it! You will enjoy it and my guess is that your ministry strategy to fulfill the Great Commission will be significantly enhanced.

Christ’s Kingdom Commission by David J. Andersen is a well written, thoughtful, and most importantly, a biblical approach to evangelism and world missions. Although the strategy set forth in this book may at first seem novel, it is not. Rather, it is a biblical strategy that has simply been forgotten. Based upon the labors of the Apostle Paul and the early church, Brother Andersen shows us that we need to take the gospel to "kings and all who are in authority" (I Timothy 2:2) with boldness, love, and compassion. The world will not be changed by political conservative movements, but by men and women who go "to and fro weeping, carrying their bag of seed." It is only the faithful gospel witness who shall "come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him" (Psalm 126:6). This insightful book stands upon the belief that the gospel is the power of God (Romans 1:16) that is able to save the pauper and the king, and to transform an entire nation!
