History & Biography

“What lies ahead for Churches of Christ? With a historian’s insight and a storyteller’s imagination, Jack Reese weaves together past narratives to point beyond the decline in congregational life toward an open future. What emerges for the reader is the marvelous invitation to consider both the past and God’s desired future to act faithfully in the present. Anyone who seeks renewal in Churches of Christ, or any church, will find much to ponder and resources to fuel the imaginative work needed for new beginnings.”

Story, Ritual, Prophecy, Wisdom

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Mark Hamilton and Samjung Kung-Hamilton masterfully survey the world of Scripture surfacing the formative work of narratives, the transcendent power of ritual, the imagination and hope of the prophetic voice, and the potency of the practice of wisdom. Ministers and teachers of the church will find this book a lively and insightful source for conversation and action. Today’s congregations need to retrieve the power of the Bible for sake of the church’s witness to the world and this book will fuel that indispensable work!”
