Church Leadership & Ministry

“The authors describe this book—the fruit of a collaborative writing project among seasoned leaders—as a ‘love letter to pastors,’ and so it is! Readers enter into a lively conversation between wise clergy colleagues and mentors, examining the significance and challenges of ministry that at its best is both pastoral and political. In these realistic accounts of pastoral leadership grounded in the church’s call to care for the precious and complicated world that God so loves, new and experienced pastors and lay leaders will encounter surprising resonances, bracing practical wisdom, and a rekindled commitment to community well-being.”

What Is Spiritual Care?

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This timely collection of essays on the nature, practice, and promise of spiritual care invites readers into a lively conversation among leading and emerging scholars in an expanding, energized field. Contributors bring fresh perspectives, research, and insights from a variety of professions, disciplines, cultures, and religious traditions. Serious yet accessible scholarship opens new vistas for understanding the human spirit, attending to human suffering, enacting human solidarity, and imagining human possibility. A must-read for seasoned practitioners, students, and anyone who cares about our common humanity.”

What Remains

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Garrett’s account of his journey beyond American Evangelicalism is at once evocative and intelligent, generous and generative. . . . Garrett’s clear-eyed yet accessible analysis of belief and belonging challenges all of us to decenter our own enculturation so as to apprehend and be changed by ‘the radical grace at the heart of the world.’”
