Strong Women Lift Each Other Up

Women

“With fierce passion, Molly Galbraith tells stirring stories of women who’ve made a big impact with ordinary but mighty actions and words; and with rare honesty, she vulnerably writes the things women only whisper to themselves. This book is a call to curiosity, to self-discovery, to awareness, to friendship, to courage, to imagination, to creation, to building bigger tables, and to making a difference in the lives of others by being you.”

The Church after Innovation

Christian Living

“This book will help you to consider the possible costs of chasing innovation and entrepreneurship—for you and your church. By tracing their origins, Andrew Root invites readers to examine the ends and aims of both innovation and entrepreneurship. Rather than helping the church and its congregants to thrive, unreflective practices of innovation and entrepreneurship can shift values and loyalties, and along the way contribute to anxiety, depression, and an overinflation of the self which works against genuine formation of the self in Christ. The Church after Innovation provides significant insights and questions regarding some of the most pressing challenges of our time.”
