Keeping Christmas

Christian Living

“Think of a question about Christmas—its origin, its purpose, its commercial defilement, its joy—and the Rev. James A. Hopwood, like the good journalist he was earlier in his life, answers it in this engaging new book. Hopwood guides Christians toward choosing to celebrate not the avaricious secular version of Christmas but, rather, the Christmas that commemorates the astonishing incarnation of God in Christ. In its gentleness of spirit and clarity of purpose, this book is a gift.”

Making Faithful Decisions at the End of Life

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In just 134 pages, [ Making Faithful Decisions at the End of Life ] covers almost every imaginable subject related to preparing for the end of life. It is clear, well organized and, in terms of Christian theology, spiritually solid. If I were a Christian pastor, I would make sure that every family in my congregation had this book—and read it.”

Reasons for the Seasons

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Disguised as a beautiful and wise explanation of the Christian liturgical year, Father Jones's delicious book is really a moving and quite personal invitation to examine and celebrate the divine gift of time and our use of it. Without coercing us, God draws us into the sacred spiral of a future full of love's promises, and I can think of no better guide to describe that journey than this lovely book.”

The Bible’s Greatest Hits

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“In this small but powerful book, Henry Brinton has opened up the Bible in surprising and insightful ways. In passages that may be familiar to readers, Brinton finds unexpected treasures. This book will make you hungry to consume Scripture, which then can metabolize as acts of mercy, compassion, and love.”

The Power of Gratitude

Christian Living

“Patrick Garry didn’t understand until after his parents died how gratitude set them free to live beautiful and generative lives. Nor did he understand that gratitude is much more than an expected response to something good. But he gets that now and wants readers to grasp it, too. Telling engaging stories about his parents’ lives, Garry teaches readers that lives of perpetual thankfulness can fill the world with joy.”
