A Sense of Belonging

“How do prayer, belief, and the life of the worshiping community relate to each other? In this book, Hilton Scott takes us on a fascinating tour along three urban, South African churches to answer this question. Carefully describing prayer in nine worship services and interpreting these through multiple disciplinary lenses, Scott argues for unity and diversity in liturgical inculturation. The global church has lessons to learn from this original study of lex orandi, lex credendi, lex (con)vivendi.”

Accompanying Disability

“The stories of disabled people often do not fit the patterns of society, but the stories of those who accompany people with disabilities sometimes even do not fit disability discourses. In a personal voice and not eschewing the hard questions, Endress carves out the much-needed theological and pastoral space for a theology of accompaniment.”

Preaching on Social Suffering

Preaching & Worship

“Jeremy Kim offers deep insight into an issue that is timely not only for the Korean church but also for churches all over the world: social suffering. Kim suggests a theologically insightful, constructive, homiletical, and pastoral response, urging the church to lament with those who suffer, and as such, to engage in a response of compassion and resistance. This book is a must-read for any preacher who wants to mourn with those who mourn and raise their voice against injustice.”

Reflections of Immanuel

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“In the midst of the cacophony of Christmas consumerist voices, Scott Lencke helps us to take a step back, breathe, and listen to the deep meaning of Advent and Christmas. With insight and wit he shows how the well-known stories of the birth of Jesus are rooted in the stories and prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures, in ways we might have forgotten or never learned.”
