Better Than Brunch

Evangelism & Missions

“It is the cardinal rule for good writing: don’t tell, show. In this excellent piece of work, the authors do just that. They show us churches and church leaders who are embodying a new way of being church for a new time. Of particular value is the book’s focus on the Cascadia region of the northwest US and British Columbia. Christendom never had quite the foothold in Cascadia as it did in the east and midwest. While many have lamented this reality, Byassee and Lockhart see the opportunity in it.”

Breaking and Entering

Preaching & Worship

“I don't know Elizabeth Goodman, but her sermons make me want to know her. Perhaps more importantly, her sermons make me want to better know the God of whom she speaks. Goodman writes with an intoxicating blend of gravity and lightness.”

Faith Forming Faith

Discipleship & Christian Education

“This is the book for which many of us have been waiting. In our new, post-Christendom time the critical need for faith formation--catechesis--has now been understood and accepted. But how? How to do faith formation for adults, for seekers, for a new time? Paul Hoffman's inspiring report on 'The WAY' goes a long way toward answering not only the 'why' and 'what,' but also the crucial 'how' question. Invaluable.”

Learning to See

History & Biography

“Rich Christensen’s memoir . . . is warm and wonderful—‘magical’ is not too strong a word for the story and his telling of it. The church pushes or pulls us in contexts and relationships in which the living Christ becomes real to us in powerful ways. Such was the case for Rich and his family.”

Letters to Peter

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Some ministers leave people wondering if they are actually real human beings or just someone playing a role. Though we never doubted the reality of Don's humanity, this volume confirms it's depth, grace, and passion.”

O’er All The Weary World

Fiction

“In a season when the church tells the story of God's astonishing gift to us all, Sarah Foulger offers stories of people discovering the transforming gifts of astonishing giving and love renewed in their own lives. Foulger's stories ring as brightly as the bells on Christmas Day.”

The Bible Says . . .

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The many claims and counterclaims about the Bible and what it says mask all sorts of prior questions and assumptions. With pastoral wisdom and scholarly insight, Kalajainen gets behind the noisy claims to identify the important questions and lurking assumptions. He illuminates complexity rather than pretending it does not exist.”

This Odd and Wondrous Calling

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Here's a book about ministry from the inside, written by two practitioners of the craft. And not just any two practitioners, but two excellent ministers who are gifted writers. . . . This is the best kind of affirmation of the ministry ù an honest one, richly grounded in the reality of the church.”
