A Sort of Homecoming

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Be forewarned, this collection will leave you with a case of holy homesickness. This bouquet of contributions explores a range of themes in Brian's work--eschatology, empire, ecology, and exegesis--held together by a robust thread of home. Poetry, places, and stories make it more than a festschrift; it's an ode to the beauty of home and a prayer of longing to be at home--with God, one another, and all creation.”

Leadership, God’s Agency, and Disruptions

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In a noisy field of Christian leadership books touting the secrets to effective ministry, Branson and Roxburgh have raised a clarion call to reorient leadership around God’s agency rather than management techniques. Its biblical depth and theological rigor may make you doubt you’ve ever read a book that deserves to be called a ‘theology of leadership’ before. This masterpiece of practical theology is now my go-to recommendation on leadership for teachers and practitioners.”

Rooted and Renewing

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Faithful improvisation springs from a fertile memory. In a time buzzing with ideas about the future shape of the church, Troftgruben has gifted us with a rich grounding in the ways that New Testament churches gathered, forged identity, and bore a witness to an enduring gospel.”

Sustaining Grace

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Here’s a book on sustainable ministry that is not a drab why-and-how-to-fundraise manual but instead a stirring invitation to imagine the precarity of new worshiping communities as a gift to the whole church. It will prove to be a fruitful conversation starter for all who are involved and invested in seeing new worshiping communities—and not-so-new worshiping communities—flourish.”
