Practicing Discipleship

Theology

“"This study brings reflections and experiences of United Methodists committed to non-violence into conversation with the rather complex, ambiguous teachings of the United Methodist church . . . I believe that the actual stories and reflections of those who have come to this commitment, sometimes struggling with their church in the process, will be challenging and inspiring to a readership interested in peace and justice issues, church and society, and spiritual formation. While the research clearly focuses on United Methodists, the topic will resonate with and be interesting to a broader readership.”

Return from Exile

“This is a beautiful book that traces a woman’s journey to ‘heal her heart.’ In connecting with her own story—including deep loss, pilgrimage, exile, and return—the author also delves into the life of the female mystic Julian of Norwich. She seeks self-discovery and renewal and offers in turn inspiration to the reader.”

The Church and Work

Work, Money & Leadership

“This volume stands to makes a significant contribution to Christian theologies of work, particularly through its attention to ecclesiology and the particularities of context. This book also shows the continued importance of ecclesiology to practical theology and highlights the category of practice as worthy of attention in studies of the church.”

The Radical Pulsivity of Life

Arts & Literature

Foreword

“I first encountered Eli Deyton’s poetry when he took a course I was teaching on spiritual autobiography. His poems flowed, full of piercing intelligence, longing, and faith. Poetry seemed the form of writing most capable of witness to a God who surpasses all language. His words do indeed witness, pointing to a Life that pulses in the midst of the everyday, calling us to notice and turn.”
