Awakening to Wholeness

Arts & Literature

“With Dante Alighieri as our spiritual guide, Kerry Walters takes us on a pilgrimage in which we are not onlookers but holy adventurers. Holistic in approach, Walters makes Dante come alive in our quest for wholeness. Not locked in the thirteenth century, Dante illuminates our twenty-first-century struggles and provides a meaningful spiritual path for our time. Walters provides insightful and inspirational guidance to orient our own journey of awakening. I highly recommend this text for seasoned travelers and seekers alike.”

I Love the Church, I Hate the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Prophetic and yet loving. Appreciative and yet challenging. Written with a pastor’s heart and an academic mind, this text invites pastors and congregational leaders to ponder how they can be more faithful to the gospel in our time. In a time of apparent decline, this text provides images of hope for a vital church of the future. A great book for group study as well as personal reflection. I commend it for church-leadership teams and councils.”

Is God Still at the Bedside?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Abigail Rian Evans is one of the leading voices in the interplay of theology, medicine, and health. This book of hers is magisterial in scope and insight. Evans covers the whole range of issues in medical ethics and pastoral care related to issues of death and dying. This text belongs on the bookshelf of hospital chaplains, pastors, bioethicists, theologians, and health-care providers. Comprehensive and evenhanded, Is God Still at the Bedside? describes the main issues facing patients and their families and those who care for them medically and spiritually. Essential reading for anyone concerned with death and dying, medical ethics, and pastoral care from a Christian perspective.”

Making Room for Mystery

“David Holley’s Making Room for Mystery is truly a remarkable book. By far the most comprehensive and illuminating book on paranormal experiences I have read. The twenty chapters cover everything from dreams and visions to ghosts, near death experiences, intercessory prayer, and much more. Theologically and spiritually astute and approachable, Making Room for Mystery will enlighten and encourage laypersons and scholars alike. Joining personal accounts, scientific research, and theological reflection, this text provides hope and inspiration without magic and hyperbole. It presents a vision of reality in which paranormal experiences are part of the fabric of life and not supernatural intrusions. I highly recommend it for the seeker, skeptic, and spiritual adventurer.”
