Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The book is rich with stories, illustrations, and quotations that help the reader understand the complications in the history of the church and could serve as a textbook for an introduction to church history or supplement a New Testament survey course. It is also suitable for adult Sunday School and other study settings. The author’s aim is not just to present facts, but to help followers of Jesus use them to address current challenges facing Christians.” Dr. Alex Awad, Founder, Shepherd’s Society “This challenging book presents one vision of Christian citizenship grounded in the Scriptures and history of the Christian church including its creeds, while criticizing the recent redefinition of Christian identity based on an often judgmental and false view of Christian theology. The exegesis of Jesus’ parables provides an excellent basis for the core of a lived and vibrant faith though some may disagree with the author’s conclusions about their application.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In a time when health care is in shambles, Hale and Koenig argue convincingly that religious communities can become involved in solving the problems. Their argument is buttressed by examples of effective health ministry programs that range from church-based training for lay health educators, to free clinics, to screening programs, to heart disease prevention. Each chapter is coupled with information about the medical conditions being addressed by these church programs. A must-read for all people who wish to put their faith into action to meet real health needs.”

“Apostolate of Divine Mercy and Healing, Worcester, Massachusetts "This book provides an important example of the needed conversations between medicine and religion and how God can work through both of them.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This book speaks to the spiritual hunger which marks our generation with insight and creativity. Religious leaders, as well as those who yearn to feel God’s presence more powerfully, will be enriched by its inspirational content. It is grounded in scientific research, the author’s extensive ministry experience, biblical exegesis, and enhanced by first-person stories. We are invited to learn how ordinary people are experiencing God in rare and mundane ways in their everyday lives.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Meilaender combines a poetic style of writing from a theological perspective with a scientific rigor of analysis to give us a book that is hard to put down. He rightly argues that human flourishing, or virtue, is more crucial than preventing aging or prolonging life.”
Christian Living
“This book is theologically sound, pastorally insightful, grounded in Christ, and rooted in Scripture. Helpful tools and ways of giving voice to the dying and to their loved ones are provided for the church’s ministry.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Verhey's meticulous, poetic, and scholarly writing is strongly reflected in this book. . . . His call for the church to move from silence to comfort for the dying is a much-needed reminder of the Christian virtues we all must cultivate when confronting the last enemy -- death. This way can liberate us from the total medicalization of death so that we relearn ars bene moriendi and embrace our Christian faith and faithfulness, robbing death of its final word.”
