Faithful and Fractured

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Faithful and Fractured makes clear a great many things about pastoral ministry that I had only vaguely understood before. I found myself nodding, smiling—or, as often, grimacing—with recognition at every page. In particular, the book provides an illuminating account of the paradoxical nature of ministry, which may simultaneously deplete and strengthen, discourage and reward. Faithful and Fractured is based on thorough research but provides much more than mere analysis. It commends a way for us to be fully alive and thus to live fully to the glory of God.”

Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“There is no better introduction to Paul, for the simple reason that no one has approached the task with greater mastery of the sources, greater clarity of mind, and greater keenness of insight than E. P. Sanders. This is that rare textbook that will educate both beginning and lifelong students. As such, it is the perfect capstone to Sanders’ own extraordinary career as both teacher and scholar.”

Preaching by Heart

Preaching & Worship

“A confession: my worst seminary grade was in Intro to Preaching. Reading Preaching by Heart all these years later shows me why. If I could, I would send this book back in time to my younger self. I certainly would have gotten a higher grade, and, much more important, I would have preached better sermons in all the intervening years.”

The Minister as Moral Theologian

Theology

“A must-read for seminarians and seasoned clergy alike. Some pastors approach their work as moral theologians seriously but not humbly, thereby failing to recognize the complexity of the task. Others recognize that complexity but respond by shunning the responsibility. This important book challenges both of these errors, and in the process it provides everyday counsel that is as practical as it is sophisticated. Sondra Wheeler is an exceptionally wise moral theologian, and all who heed her words will be the wiser for it.”
