Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A wonderful read. . . . The depth of thought and writing are so savory that I find myself going over the lines again to make sure that I have received the full force of what America’s Unholy Ghosts puts before us . . . this kind of book is the pause that refreshes my spirit!”

Elusive Grace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“There are some guides that can only be written by people who truly love justice. Well-researched facts about the good and the right can ring hollow if one senses that the writer has no soul commitment to justice. Johnston has skin in the game; his deep-seated desire for a better world splashes across each page. His work overflows with hope and promise for both justice and grace in our time. The book and its author are gifts that light the pathway forward for our troubled and hurting world.”

God’s Word and Our Words

Preaching & Worship

“Packed into this succinct volume is the story of Christian preaching, told by some of the more able scholars of our day. The essays provide critical insights into the biblical, theological, and homiletical genius of preaching. Some writers address the glorious past, others speak to strength in diversity, while some point the way forward for preaching in an uncertain post-Christian world. This should be required reading for lovers of preaching everywhere.”

The Holy No

Preaching & Worship

“In this marvelous work Hearlson articulates with frankness and candor what the privileged and powerful can learn from the subversive worship of marginalized faith communities. His lucid style of writing is rich, inviting, and convincing as he helps us to see what often goes unnoticed right before our eyes—the work of God in unexpected places from unexpected people.”
