Grimké on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Drew Martin’s Grimké on the Christian Life is a book for all times, but an especially welcome one in ours. Bearing the name of his enslaver-father, the resilient and brilliant Francis Grimké served as a faithful pastor of the Fifteenth Street Church in Washington, DC, cofounded the NAACP, and consistently offered an embodied rebuke of racism in the northern Presbyterian church. All the while, he insisted on the truth of the gospel and its power to transform hearts and society. Martin combines Grimké’s personal story and theological teachings to create a text that’s historically important and devotionally rich. In a time when many see American Christianity as hopelessly compromised and unconstrained, Grimké’s ministry continues to exemplify both bold witness and patient reform work within institutions. This book’s portrayal of his life and thought is a valuable resource to the Presbyterian tradition and the Christian church.”

The Religious Journey of Dwight D. Eisenhower

History & Biography

“Taking the religious life of Dwight Eisenhower seriously, Jack Holl has masterfully uncovered not only a more dynamic personal faith than civil religion implies but a humbler one. The mark, Holl asserts, of Eisenhower’s religious journey, from Abilene to North Africa to Washington, was considered moderation. A mark, too, of this fine biography—a detailed, impressive account.”
