Fiction
“One of the greatest gifts a Christian author can give us is a realistic picture of what it looks like to be human and a follower of Jesus. In An Extra Mile, Sharon Garlough Brown offers us this exceptional gift. She portrays the spiritual journey of four women with compelling, candid, and relatable prose. You could be any one of them as you witness each navigate grief, conflict, jealousy, and disappointment. Just as the patterns of their own personalities trip them up, so the faithful urgings of God's Spirit spur them toward a better way. In this final book of the Sensible Shoes series, readers will grieve, pray, and celebrate the victory of love that comes to those who dare to walk an extra mile.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Reading this book is like taking a walking tour of real life at ground level and making the surprising discovery that each day's prickly pokes and elegant graces are fodder for meaningful engagement with life and God. Cindy Bunch, in her marvelous book Be Kind to Yourself, shares her own story with candid vulnerability, stopping along the way to illustrate and introduce creative and livable spiritual practices. This book is truly a gem, and from an author who embodies its truths artfully and authentically. You will love it!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Creative Church Handbook is a treasury of resources for those wanting to instigate more creativity in their local church. It radiates passion for the arts as it provides thoughtful perspectives, practical instructions and prolific illustrations. This book will convince you that the arts are critical to faith formation and will show you how to introduce them to your faith community. I'm proud of Scott McElroy's hard work in curating this substantial volume and hopeful for the fire it will ignite in churches across America.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I have to believe that whether you are a seasoned Christian leader or one just starting out, Deep Mentoring will provide enough food to feast on for years to come! In this book, Randy Reese and Rob Loane provide substantive content and guidance along with probing questions and vivid examples that demystify the critical but often-ignored task of developing others.”
Christian Living
“If you're wondering whether God is doing much of anything in our world, we urge you to read this probing book! In Eyes to See, Tim Muehlhoff makes a convincing case for a God who is intricately involved in the big and small of our lives through a means called common grace. Tim, a masterful storyteller and pop-culture enthusiast, will surprise, inspire, inform, and reassure you that God's influence actually saturates our lives in ways we may never have considered—even in these dark days of our history.”
Christian Living
“'Yes is not a destination. It is a doorway to more adventures,' writes Christine Wagoner in her inspiring book, Finding Your Yes. I've known Christine for many years, and as I read her book, I hear her voice—energetic and disarming. She drills down into our noes, what it might cost to say yes, and what it might cost if we don't! This book is a richly illustrated and truthful take on the circuitous path of following Jesus, of roads taken and not taken, and is seasoned with hope that 'as our yes grows, so do we.' You will love reading Finding Your Yes, and in the process, you just may find the courage to say your own, 'Yes!'”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Through riveting, firsthand accounts, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett take you on a mind-blowing, heart-expanding global expedition as they tell stories of the most defenseless and voiceless of our time--women and children. Forgotten Girls is an unforgettable read, one that can convert our lack of awareness into meaningful, urgent action!”
Christian Living
“To be understood is perhaps one of the most satisfying experiences of life! And that was my sensation as I read Forty Days on Being a Two by Hunter Mobley. Each day's reflection shed light into me from a new angle. Some rays exposed the shadow side of my Two-ness, while others illuminated my genius. The invitation of this series and this book is a to cast a steady gaze into what makes and motivates us, to reflect and pray into what we discover, so that little by little we grow into our most authentic selves and increase our capacity for love. A worthy endeavor!”
Christian Living
“When we founded Fall Creek Abbey in 2012, we expectantly placed a copy of Let Your Life Speak in each guest room. Without fail, those on retreat would flip through a few pages and be drawn into this small volume, which gently led them into the depths of their own souls. Now we are excited to add this companion resource, Heart Speak, as a wise and whimsical guide into the rich invitations found in Palmer's original book. As spiritual directors, we know the value of well-designed, curious questions as well as the gift of visual imagery. Sherrill Knezel's book is a creative doorway into deeper nourishment in fresh, original ways.”
Fiction
“One of the deepest human longings is the longing to be understood—and there are few experiences in life when this ache surfaces more urgently than in the throes of depression and grief. In Remember Me, Sharon Garlough Brown vividly illuminates what it's like to be engulfed in depression's shadow and isolated by its despair. She puts words to what many of us have experienced but lack a vocabulary to describe. Through the sometimes tentative yet always tender support given by Kit to Wren, Brown illustrates what it looks like to heal in and through relationship. This novella is unquestionably written for those longing to be understood and those seeking to understand the desolate experience of mental illness.”
Soul Care in African American Practice
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“As a white person and advocate of the Christian contemplative tradition, I was deeply moved to learn how the essence of contemplative practice is inextricably woven into the fabric of African American spirituality. Barbara Peacock tells of how prayer, spiritual companioning, meditation, and lament were vital spiritual disciplines of some of the most prominent black leaders in history and were forged in the fires of racism, brutality, and slavery. This book signals a new day dawning when African American spirituality's unique features will include the distinctives of the contemplative way. I'm honored to commend it to you. Read it and be inspired!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In Spiritual Wayfinding, Deborah Gregory has managed to write a book that is a bit memoirish, creatively instructive, and oh-so-livable! This book provides thirty-three doses of pure goodness in each meditation, helping readers (literally)walk out their faith in surprising, playful, and inventive ways. I think its special appeal is for those who long to experience more of God and haven't found the traditional models helpful. I truly enjoyed Spiritual Wayfinding and highly recommend you read it, get on your sneakers, and practice it!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Told in the most conversational, down-to-earth language, this book captures the Story of all stories with energetic pace, robust detail and scholarly insight. Karen Lee-Thorp has brought to life the sweeping arc of the biblical story, providing readers a sense of the drama and divine hand in human history. You will feel like the pieces of the puzzle have come together after you read it. I highly recommend it!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Many of us, believers and unbelievers alike, have all but given up on intercessory prayer. That is until there is nothing else to do, no one else to turn to. Then our hearts lead us back to God and to prayer. Carolyn Carney's clarion call reminds us that prayer, like life itself, is strengthened by joining with others.”
Christian Living
“With artful and energetic prose, Suanne Camfield has written an original and honest memoir of her life with all its beauty, complexity, and passion. As you read The Sound of a Million Dreams you will find yourself in the company of a woman on a relentless quest to understand and trust the stirring within her to follow a lifelong dream. She will put words to the very experiences you've had in stumbling forward in search of your dreams. And somewhere along the line you will catch her fervor and realize there's no turning back. I commend this book to anyone who loves exquisite writing, rich story, and real life!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In this book, Gem and Alan Fadling offer eight seminal questions—power tools, really—that have potential to drill down through the surface of your life into the core of your being. It's in this realm of your inner life, they assure you, that transformation begins. If you've ever wondered how change really happens, What Does Your Soul Love? will show you, most poignantly, through the Fadlings' willingness to tell their own vulnerable stories of saying yes to God's transforming love and work. We highly recommend it!”
