Being Missional in Times of Crisis
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Many of my students who are Hispanic pastors have been seriously affected by the pandemic—from losses in their families to struggling churches. In Being Missional in Times of Crisis, Pastor Augusto Rodriguez offers a solid, comprehensive, and easily understandable set of instructions for shepherding churches through the current crisis. Pastoral leaders will find encouragement and support in this book for tackling the new hybrid reality with time-honored biblical principles.”
Theology
“González is wonderfully brave. She tells hard and often hidden truths about immigration, about the church, and about parts of the Bible we often ignore. She does it all in the light of Christ, through his words and action as revealed in Scripture. We all need to take the challenges in Beyond Welcome seriously, particularly particularly those of us who care about Christian engagement in immigrant ministry.”
Rev.
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“As a Christian leader with a lifelong commitment to whole-gospel discipleship, I often struggle to find a devotional guide that speaks into all aspects of my faith and life. Donna Barber's book is a treasure. Her courageous honesty and vulnerability, rooted in a profound and vibrant relationship with Jesus that leads her into a life of radical faithfulness, brings me home every time. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who needs bread for the journey.”
History & Biography
“Brown Church is a truly significant book, filling a unique and critically important niche at this historic juncture. For emerging Latinx generations, this book offers consuelo y animo (comfort and inspiration)—a way to connect roots and wings. For scholars, activists, and church leaders, this book translates wisdom and integrates worlds, bringing us all together to a place of common understanding and mutual enrichment. As professor and pastor, I will use and recommend this book; it is a treasure.”
Churches, Cultures, and Leadership
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I assign Churches, Cultures, and Leadership in my courses in Spanish as well as in English. Every church in the United States is called to serve a diverse community and to respond to an ethnically and racially conflicted environment. Every pastor is called to learn the art of discerning the movement of the Holy Spirit in their neighborhood. This new version responds to the signs of the times and is designed to help readers to better process the contents. As the church struggles to transform itself to channel the pure wine of the gospel in the multiplicity of modern wineskins, we need this book to inspire, support, and guide us.”
Healing the Wounds of the Displaced
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Amid the multiple controversies surrounding immigration, the voice of an undocumented pastor calling for the church to minister effectively and faithfully to his community is a unique and essential contribution to the conversation. Pastor Zamora Avila's reflections are raw and real. Whether we agree or not, we need to listen.”
Women
“Hermanas is a precious and beautiful resource for discipleship. The young Latinas I have mentored need the nourishing, affirming, strengthening, and inspiration that this book offers. I recommend it de todo corazon.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There is a host of Christian books emerging about God's call to justice. Mending the Divides is the only book I have seen that outlines the relationship between justice and peacemaking on multiple levels, from the spiritual foundation to the practical steps we all need to take. If you take nothing else from this book, the stories from the frontlines of shalom could change your life. I am thankful for and encouraged by Jon and Jer's gift to us all.”
Theology
“This book illuminates and reminds us all of the spiritual wealth and particular contributions of Latino/a cultures and people to the broader church and community. It is a thoughtful, accessible, and moving overview. I recommend it for both Latino/a audiences and for those who need all that we bring.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The great Holocaust writer and survivor Elie Wiesel says that we are most universal when we are most particular. Michelle Warren takes us through her individual and particular journey in a way that powerfully reveals the core of the call to all of us, wherever we come from, to love mercy and do justice. A wonderful book for young Christians—and for all Christians who have begun to authentically wrestle with the demands of whole-gospel discipleship. Wise, funny, and well written. Read it!”
Men
“Unmasking the Male Soul is an important book; it is a rare occurrence for a Hispanic man to write about true and equal partnership in the gospel between men and women. The author has pulled together a wide variety of insights from different academic disciplines and spiritual leaders to diagnose a spiritual illness with grave consequences. I hope that young men seeking guidance and support in developing a Christ-centered way of being male discover this book; I also believe that it would be encouraging in important ways for young women as well.”
Where the Cross Meets the Street
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Where the Cross Meets the Street is a truly inspiring testimony to all that God can do in our lives, our barrios and our country. Noel Castellanos has provided us with a rich resource for ministry—particularly for those of us who motivate and guide young leaders, who seek to encourage and empower impoverished communities and who hope for a church that is faithful to the incarnate Lord by practicing misión integral (holistic mission). It's also a wonderfully fun and easy read. I couldn't put it down.”
