Evangelism & Missions
“I’m one of those people Paulsen identifies at the beginning of this wonderful book: not interested in a book on evangelism. But I read on and was amazingly rewarded. This is a book of stories and encounters. It’s about the stories of people encountering Jesus in many different ways. Paulsen helps us see the relational power of God at work through everyday circumstances and ordinary people. She invites us into reflective spaces around how we can join with Jesus in calling others to life. This is a book on evangelism I am more than happy to recommend.”
Science & Faith
“God Speaks Science is a book of delight, awe, and joy. It's about science and God but not in any of the ways you might expect. If you're wanting to read about the two books of God (creation and revelation) in a way that draws you into a fresh sense of love toward the One who made all things and is making all things new—read this book. Through nontechnical storytelling, experience the world of science and nature in fresh, amazing ways. Who would have imagined seeing God through the wonder of our knees? John invites you into some ways science illuminates one of God's two books and then invites you to dwell and meditate on these stories.”
Christian Living
“I first encountered Tom Sine more than thirty years ago in Toronto. He won't remember the lively conversation I had with him after he'd talked about The Mustard Seed Conspiracy, but I knew I'd met a man filled with a passion for the way of Jesus and eager to invite others onto that journey. Over all these years Tom has been imagining and re-imagining all that is involved in following a radical Jesus in the midst of massively transformative, confusing times. Live Like You Give a Damn! continues that journey. It is a passionate invitation to awaken, not just to the crises of our time or the anemic life of cultural Protestantism, but to see what the Spirit is gestating and dare to join the Jesus movement today.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is a book on Christian movement and church planting that I enjoyed reading and want to commend to many others seeking to discern innovative ways of being God's people in a time of massive change. JR and Dan have written with wisdom. They distill their on-the-ground experience into a book that is practical, instructive, and informed with theological imagination. They offer the reader a direction for this journey toward a movement of God's people in our day. Like any book, one isn't going to agree with everything, but this is one of a few books in this field I want to recommend.”
World Religions
“An important next step in the recovery of the church in North America. A helpful theological and biblical way for us to think about the implications of becoming missional.”
Rev.
The Ministry of the Missional Church
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“It is from this starting point that you are led into concrete and practical ways to cultivate missional churches. This is an important book: its chapters give you the frameworks and tools to help form missional ministry within multiple contexts. It’s easy to write books that offer quick solutions for making the church work. Craig Van Gelder provides an alternative approach by helping you first to frame your world as a leader and then to develop a map for engaging in ministry, a ministry that begins with the important questions about God and moves to concrete proposals regarding the leading of the Spirit.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Many clergy and other church leaders ask for examples of how and where missional work is actually taking place. Here is a leader faithfully engaging this work in a practical, local, on–the–ground way that leads to new expressions of church in mission. This is the kind of story about a church–in–process we need to hear.”
