Discipleship & Christian Education

“In this pivotal work, Heesung Hwang reimagines religious education for today’s diverse, global generation. By confronting both explicit and implicit white normative assumptions embedded in religious education, Hwang introduces the Korean concept of madang to foster inclusive spaces where cultural diversity and spiritual growth can flourish together. This book is indispensable for educators and ministers committed to engaging a global generation, offering innovative strategies to cultivate a deep, contextually relevant Christian faith in an interconnected world.”

Sex, Tech, and Faith

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kate Ott, a leading Christian sexual ethicist and educator of our time, makes sexuality in the digital age—a prevalent hidden curriculum of Christianity—an explicit subject with which contemporary Christians must engage. In this accessible and profound book written for both adults and youth, Ott successfully persuades Christians of the need to be fluent in this critical but often-avoided topic to live an ethical and faithful life with powerful, bold, and realistic stories and challenging questions. Beyond the precious content, the beauty of this book is Ott’s showcasing of embodied learning in her writing style through a multifaceted social-justice lens, a pedagogical principle that she advocates throughout the book. Theological teachers, students, pastors, and lay Christians alike will be equipped with both the what and the how of sex, tech, and Christian values—a rare gift readers will gain from this book that is both academic and practical.”

Shetland Mist

Fiction

“In this page-turning historical novel, Heather Leslie Hammer powerfully weaves her family history, the lives of early Methodists who sustained one another through communal faith, and a person’s journey to and with God through questions and doubts while seeking answers to the unfathomable suffering and hardship that humans face. Although the book is fiction, it is a most accessible theology book for anyone searching for the meaning of life and ways for embodied faith without theological jargon.”
