Dear God

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“I am not religious. This book should not be for me. But it was. Beautiful prose . . . brutal honesty . . . comfort and grace and relevance. Every moment I was reading it, I was not alone. What kind of magic is this? Already known for her hilarious storytelling, Bunmi Laditan returns with more of her humanity on display. Here she speaks with God honestly, giving us permission to do the same.”

Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire

Women

“You will be delighted by Jen’s stories of pre-adolescence. You will resonate with her moments of self-doubt. You will drink deeply from her words of affirmation. But in this book, the greatest gift Jen offers us is the language to navigate a world that is unkind to women, but desperately needs us. This is not the ‘women’s Christian living’ book of old. If we let them, Jen’s words just might release our fierceness, give us the push we need to choose freedom, and in so doing set the world on fire.”

In My Grandmother's House

Theology

“Within the pages of In My Grandmother's House, Dr. Yolanda Pierce brings to the forefront the titans of faith formation, the holders of theological wisdom, the guides who rarely receive credit from the academy for having crafted a faith that endures: Black grandmothers. By giving language to the ways Black women have long helped us make sense of the Divine, Dr. Pierce offers us a window into the sacred lives of Black women, at once centering ourselves, our histories, and our God.”

The Lightmaker's Manifesto

Christian Living

“Tired. Stressed. Overwhelmed. These are the words that often accompany the change-makers and justice-seekers in the world. But in The Lightmaker's Manifesto, Walrond graciously invites us to connect our work to a deeply abiding joy.”
