Harris' book Dug Down Deep (2010) shared his journey towards a love for theology and highlighted his passion for what he called "humble orthodoxy".

Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads For Sigrid--With best wishes on your own adventures--Dane Kennedy. Dane Kennedy is Professor of History and International Affairs at The George Washington University and author of Islands of White: Settler Society and Culture in Kenya and Southern Rhodesia, 1890-1939. Kennedy's Burton book, The Highly Civilized Man, was widely praised. Times Literary Supplement contributor Michael Saler found it a "wonderfully engaging and nuanced biography," as well as "the best biography of Burton as a man intimately involved with the central questions of his day, and of ours." Similar praise came from a Publishers Weekly reviewer who observed, "Kennedy succeeds in re-establishing Burton as a relevant figure for a 21st-century world grappling with issues of ethnic, cultural and sexual diversity." Likewise, Paul Laity, writing in the New Statesman, felt the book was a "thoughtful study," while New Criterion critic Eric Ormsby commended Kennedy for making it "plain how most of Burton's extraordinary activity was motivated less by passionate curiosity or scholarly fascination than by sheer cussedness." Ormsby further commented that Kennedy's "fascinating study is not a new biography, but an extended reflection on his subject's multiple, and protean, manifestations." "I also remain very interested in the historiographical and methodological shifts that have taken place over the past few decades in our understanding of the nature and consequences of the imperial experience," Kennedy concluded in his CA interview. "With the heightened awareness that America currently holds a hegemonic position similar to that of Britain in the mid-nineteenth century, these debates about the past are particularly relevant to the world we live in."

Marie Joan Lyons Killilea (June 28, 1913 – October 23, 1991) is the mother of Karen Killilea and an American author, activist, and lobbyist for the rights of people with cerebral palsy. Her work culminated in the formation of the Cerebral Palsy Association of Westchester County. Later, she was a co-founder of The National United Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Marie Killilea wrote a biography of her daughter, called simply Karen, which became a best seller in 1952. It detailed Karen Killilea's struggle to overcome the limitations of her cerebral palsy and her family's fight to help her lead a satisfying life. A sequel, With Love From Karen, was published in 1963. The original was re-released in 1999. She also wrote a version of the story for children called "Wren". Marie and James Killilea were devout Roman Catholics and raised their children accordingly. Killilea expressed her religious convictions in her writings. Karen won the 1953 Christopher Award. These awards are presented annually by The Christophers, a Christian organization founded in 1945 by the Maryknoll priest James Keller, to honor "books, movies and television specials that affirm the highest values of the human spirit". In 1969, Marie was told by her doctors that she had a recurrence of lung cancer and had only three months to live. She went to Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Philadelphia for treatment by Dr. Isaac Djerassi. He prescribed Methotrexate, a powerful drug, and in months, her cancer was reportedly eradicated. More
