Christine D. Pohl
Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Who learns more fully about the importance of prayer than folks living in Christian community and engaged in social activism? The authors of this wonderful little book share graciously and truthfully from the spiritual wisdom they have gathered.”
World Religions
“An outstanding resource-an ethics text that is deeply Christian, conceptually clear, personally engaging, and intellectually substantive! This is an exceptionally helpful book for Christians concerned about the moral life. Hollinger provides a clear map to guide readers through the rugged terrain of competing theoretical frameworks and complex practical questions.”
“Through critical analysis and constructive re-imagining, this book challenges Christians to deepen and expand our understandings and practices of hospitality. Sweeden offers engaging insights regarding the intersections of hospitality, ecclesiology, and migration.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There is much to be learned from Amy Laura Hall's rich description and probing analysis of twentieth-century assumptions about responsible parents and children ‘worthy of a place.' Her account powerfully illuminates what is theologically and humanly at stake in contemporary impulses to craft more perfect children.”
Theology
“John Kilner's comprehensive and engaging work brings fresh insight to a central but often misunderstood and misused concept. His careful biblical, theological, and moral reflection on being in the image of God is exceptional — a major contribution to the discussion.”
Foreword
“Conversations between contemporary Christian communities and Benedictine monasticism are among the most surprising and promising in the church today. Given that the roots of monasticism and of contemporary Protestantism lie in different parts of the Christian tradition, mutual engagement between contemporary Christians and monastics has been rare. Recently, however, the scene has shifted, and Inhabiting the Church represents the new eagerness to learn the art of living together faithfully from experienced and ancient practitioners.”
Preaching & Worship
“This is a hope-filled and helpful exploration of the rich connections between a robust practice of liturgy and a kingdom vision of mission. Rejecting common bifurcations of sacraments and justice, ancient creeds and current relevance, and worship and mission, Bevins argues persuasively for a fresh integration of them in contemporary church life.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Deeply insightful and thought-provoking, this book tackles the most difficult aspects of frail old age with courage, clarity, and compassion.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Far more than a strategy for mission, hospitality is a way of life that shapes Christian practices and embodies the welcome of God. Combining ancient insights with current examples, Smither invites readers to grasp the power, grace, and transformation that come as we understand and embrace mission as hospitality.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“When Christians truly love and respect one another across racial, ethnic, and social divisions, the truth and power of the gospel are revealed. Although church and society are not in the same place as we were several decades ago, many of the struggles and insights shared by Perkins and Rice have a timeless quality to them. The illuminating stories, cultural analysis, biblical teaching, and personal experiences the authors share continue to make this a profoundly inspiring and important book.”
Theology
“Drawing from a rich array of ancient and contemporary sources, Emilio Alvarez takes us on a brief and fascinating journey through various meanings and expressions of Pentecost. Readers will gain a fresh appreciation for this season of the church year.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“. . . a deeply compelling and engaging portrait of a community that practices hospitality and justice while nurturing a strong spiritual and communal life. Tim Dickau's careful description of a single congregation gives his readers excellent resources for imagining what a fuller commitment to a Kingdom way might look like in their own contexts.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Highly practical, spiritually substantive and rich with examples and suggestions, this book offers much-needed insight into factors that are crucial for long-term flourishing in pastoral ministry.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book is a treasure — a wonderful gift to the church. While inviting us into a deeply Christian understanding of excellence, it offers hope, renewal, and challenge for pastors and congregations. Without sacrificing truthfulness or ignoring tragedy, Jones and Armstrong give a nuanced, tender account of the beauty, imagination, and resources available for excellent ministry.”
Saved by Faith and Hospitality
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“A wonderfully succinct, substantive, and engaging treatment. Jipp succeeds in showing that divine and human welcome are at the heart of our Christian faith. . . . He brings to life a fascinating and fruitful conversation between the ancient biblical texts and our current challenges. This work is a gift to the church and a major contribution to the recovery of the practice of hospitality.”
Christian Living
“If you need encouragement about the vibrant future of the church or if you are looking for a place to start in reflecting on Christian faithfulness in the city, this little book is a great resource. In an accessible and engaging way, the authors communicate the energy, passion, and creativity that is alive in urban congregations. Highly recommended!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This deeply moving, impassioned, and informed argument for responsible Christian engagement with environmental concerns is the fruit of years of careful biblical study and wise application to contemporary issues. Stewards of Eden challenges, disturbs, and encourages us to recognize God's consistent concern for the well-being of all creation and our responsibility as God's stewards. Sandra Richter's work is both very readable and richly insightful—I highly recommend it!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“One does not necessarily expect a book on begging and reimagining property relations to sing with theological and historical insight, but Kelly Johnson's book does just that. Her account is fascinating and beautifully written. She assembles a remarkable group of conversation partners and, with them, raises provocative theological and economic questions and shows how much they matter.”
