Abuelita Faith

Christian Living

“Sometimes I read and have to tell someone about it. Other times I read, and it makes me sit, feel, think, reread, and pause. Armas’s Abuelita Faith does just that—it’s a theological miracle. Her words dance and sing in ways that made me rethink what it means to dance and sing and write as a theologian. This story, these words, this type of love, is the path to our liberation.”

Abuelita fe

Christian Living

“A veces leo y tengo que contárselo a alguien. Otras veces leo y me hace sentarme, sentir, pensar, releer y hacer una pausa. Abuelita fe, de Armas, hace precisamente eso: es un milagro teológico. Sus palabras bailan y cantan de una manera que me hizo repensar lo que significa bailar, cantar y escribir como teólogo. Esta historia, estas palabras, este tipo de amor, es el camino hacia nuestra liberación”.”

Alone in Plain Sight Expanded Edition

Christian Living

“There are books you enjoy. There are books that make you think. Then there are books that force you to be honest. Ben, in Alone in Plain Sight, has forced us to be honest with ourselves. He forces us to ask what’s missing, what are we searching for, what can we appreciate, and what can we imagine that will be better for us? In this brilliant and beautifully written book, Ben dares us to find meaning in both the compelling and complex parts of our stories. He invites us to sit still, be calm, and wonder. He charts his emotional life, his personal struggles, his journey with God, and experience of love. More than anything, Ben invites us to be more human. That’s what it is, that is what makes this special and worth our time: to read this book is to become more human. Embraced. Connected. Loved. Seen.”

American Idolatry

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In American Idolatry, Whitehead enters the belly of the beast, where he ventures forth not with a sword or with a dagger but with a light—shining beautifully and brightly in the form of his own journey, his own imagination, his own witness. It is said that salvation is not only about life in the future but also about life right now. Whitehead reveals that life, that love, and the truths that remake us. At a moment in time when people are not taking Christianity seriously, or have been hurt by the faith, Whitehead invites us into repair. American Idolatry is a reckoning with a faith that desires power more than love. But it is also a redemption. A resurrection. And quite possibly for those who need it—a revolution.”

Body Becoming

“Robyn Henderson-Espinoza has written a brave, intellectually astute, and artistic book in Body Becoming. In a time when so much of theological exploration devalues the body and destroys it, Henderson-Espinoza takes seriously the word that we must have life and life in its fullness. It is theory. It is poetry. It is love. It is witness. Somehow Robyn has created theological beauty that has learned how to witness and celebrate and embrace and make whole. This book is more than a freedom journal or active theology--it is a prayer, a sermon, and a love note to so many people trying to get free.”

In My Grandmother's House

Theology

“I used to think talking about Black life, or even Black faith, was about convincing white people to be better. But that's far too limiting. It is about giving us words, setting our bodies free, living in ways that allow us to feel seen, inspired, protected. It is about deep love, a deep faith in the possibility of better for ourselves and our country. Dr. Yolanda Pierce does just that: she welcomes us into the sacred space between Black bodies, God, kitchens, living rooms, sanctuaries, cities, and classrooms.... This is a book that is both brilliantly told and beautifully written--a book you will want to read, read again, talk about, sing about, cry with, hold onto, and be held by.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is an astounding book that centers the lives of Black girls in ways that are creative and compelling, but most of all, in ways that see them as free, cherished, loved, and inspired. This is a book I want my daughter to read and return to again and again.”
