Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In A Kind of Solitude, Jamie Howison invites us onto an unfamiliar but beautiful healing path of his own agitated Way of the Cross. Are you as done as I am with the rah-rah ‘gospel’ of triumphalist platitudes and ready for some real and raw good news? Jamie is a man who’s limped through the sorrow of Gethsemane, known the dying gasps of Golgotha, and beheld the Easter sunrise of resurrection life. Follow him on this tender retreat and I’m sure, like me, you’ll breathe your own sighs of solace and hope.”
Theology
“Distefano contributes an accessible yet accurate synthesis of how post-Evangelicals might integrate the discoveries of mimetic theory into an increasingly clear vision of the non-retributive God.”

“In Becoming a Disciple, we see the fruit of Bourget's years of intercession, spiritual direction, and insightful exegesis--all of this at the feet of Christ. Here we see how the Gospels lead us into intimate encounters and authentic discipleship.”
Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I despair as Christian Zionists continue to dehumanize Palestinians and cheer on Gaza’s obliteration. Should we identify any longer with the ‘Christian’ brand? Whether these essays serve as prophetic indictment or final epitaph for the Christian faith remains to be seen. But I am grateful for this text and will be assigning it to prospective peacebuilders.”
Theology
“How shall we read the Old Testament with and through the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ? Gregory A. Boyd is a welcome, leading voice in today’s urgent discourse and development of cruciform hermeneutics. This concise follow-up to The Crucifixion of the Warrior God makes Boyd’s unique contribution to that conversation accessible to any thoughtful Bible reader. An important point of reference from here on.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The patristic conviction that kenosis is a revelation of God's eternal, self-giving love, rather than a temporary relinquishment of 'sovereign power,' is regaining traction. But as Simone Weil says, until the truth--even our theology of the cross--has passed through the flesh as justice, it is a mere phantom. In this collection of essays, the Word (kenosis) becomes flesh-in-action as kenarchy. The authors have offered a prophetic prototype for transposing cruciform revelation into public faith at the messy margins of real-life postmodernity. I'm praying it triggers a landslide!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Bourguet's three meditations arrested me with worship and wonder as he walked me through Paschal weekend! Good Friday: the author unveils Christ's interaction with the thief on the cross with meticulous care. Holy Saturday: simply the best commentary available on Christ's descent into hades in Psalm 88. And Resurrection Sunday: Mary Magdalene, the new Eve perhaps, meets her Gardener, risen from the dead. Profoundly intimate. I'm so grateful!”
Theology
Foreword
“Now that universalism is back on the table for theological discussion, two great errors must be avoided: uninformed, knee-jerk charges of heresy and the sloppy pop-universalism that fails to proclaim Christ alone or the necessity of a faith response. In Grace Saves All, Artman skillfully avoids both ditches. With careful ears, a thoughtful mind, and a wise voice, he’s able to engage other points of view (even mine) with generosity and conviction.”
Theology
“Healing the Gospel brings the latest insights in biblical scholarship to the ongoing and lively atonement debate. Flood's work is biblical, straightforward, and accessible for the lay reader. He surveys the restorative justice of the wondrous cross with fresh eyes, engaging many head-scratching texts with utmost clarity. A great contribution!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Scott Erickson’s iconographic works serve as portals to the “kingdom of heaven within us.” In this collection of art and reflection, we’re reminded what makes our hearts that heaven—the God who comes nearer than we are to ourselves. I’ll be opening these doors with wonder and gratitude. Thanks, Scott, you’re such a good doorman!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“I’m in a dark season again. So many are. Sometimes I DO need words when I have none, and I DO need images when my own screen is blank. I found the unutterable prayers of my heart in these pages. I needed a resource that is real and raw about my shadow times yet counterintuitively counterintuitively offers glimmers of hope rather than stealing it. Many thanks, friends!”
Christian Living
“In a world rife with navel-gazing contemplatives and red-eyed activists, Michael Wood joins his voice to a growing minority report of peacemakers whose work is rooted in inner transformation. I’m grateful for his synthesis of cruciform theology, peacemaking, and compassionate engagement.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In this era of a trillion sound bites, we who pray are often lost for words--or we worry (rightly) that praying has shrunk to vacuous chats. It's a truism that the Psalms are a prayer treasury--now, Bourguet expertly makes way for the Father, Son, and Spirit to take us through the Psalms (including Christ-informed lament and ire) into the 'amazed communion' of prayer-as-encounter. Truly helpful!”
Christian Living
“Roger Helland proclaims the good news of God’s kingdom is presence, connection and communion with a living person who is present and accessible. Roger kindly reminds us that presence-centered faith is the only way forward for the followers of Jesus.”
Christian Living
“Bourguet beautifully unveils the way of repentance--the heart-cry of John the forerunner, of Christ and of Peter--as radiant with the light of the risen One. Neither ominous nor vacuous, true repentance is indeed good news!”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“As a personal witness and beneficiary of Michael Cusick's trauma-informed spiritual care, I can attest to the sacred wisdom offered in these pages. Among the treasures you'll find herein, you'll find the truth of how it is that the divine life can be known and experienced directly through our wounds and in our shadows. This revelation is perhaps the primary medicine and mercy that God dispenses through Michael to those in need of healing, whether in his clinic and intensive retreats or through his books. I'm forever grateful.”
Theology
“Two decades ago, Bartlett midwifed a radical and permanent change in my understanding of God: that central to the gospel of Jesus Christ is the revelation that God is not violent. Now, with an even richer integration of Girardian hermeneutics . . . and much more, Bartlett’s seminal work, Cross Purposes, has been expanded in Signs of Change: the nonviolent God who requires no appeasement in order to reconcile humanity or make right this violent world.”
Christian Living
“In this important corrective, Daniel Bourguet reorients readers. Sin is not so much law-breaking behavior that requires a punitive judge as it is a spiritual malady of the passions in need of the Great Physician. From Cain's sin to Christ's ministry, we see grace as God's medicine for our sick world. This book is gentle, therapeutic gift.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Today the world suffers such a deep wound that only one remedy will suffice: the balm of God's tenderness. Daniel Bourguet, in the spirit of the Great Physician, applies the salve of three achingly beautiful OT texts--good news of God's infinite mercy and compassion--with a tone befitting the deep need of the hour. Masterful.”
Theology
“To the apostolic witnesses, the cross of Christ was never a theory to be solved by theologizing, as if the calculative mind could solve its mysteries through abstraction. The cross can only be narrated, beheld, and shared as a transforming testimony—proclaimed in sermons, symbols, and parables, in the poetry and hymns of lives it has rebirthed. For over four decades, Brian Zahnd has been a poet-preacher-prophet of the cross. I daresay he's an eyewitness theologian who kneels at its foot. This book is his revelation of who he has seen there.”
