Art and Soul

Evangelism & Missions

“The church in the West desperately needs fresh color and creativity. Let's invite artists and practitioners like Michelle Sanders to lead the way. Painter and pastor, art therapist and storyteller, Sanders beautifully integrates her passion for art and for mission. As a church planter, she is taking what is in her hand--her paintbrush and easel--and connecting with people outside the walls of the church. . . . Sanders is at her best in helping people get in touch with their creativity and the image of God that is in everyone.”

Partnering with God

Evangelism & Missions

“Partnering with God offers the best of missional theology and practice alongside the strengths and local stories of the Salvation Army. Written by two practitioner-scholars within the movement, this will become a standard text for Salvation Army mission and ministry training. It is also inspirational and accessible reading for others eager to learn what God is doing all around the world in different streams of the church.”

Strangers in a Familiar Land

“A fascinating invitation to understand the lived experience of Thai Buddhists when they navigate a religious change to Christianity. . . . The result is an ‘expansive journey’ offering invaluable missiological and pastoral implications for Christian workers in Thailand and elsewhere.”

The Impact of Church Consultancy

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As we grapple with missional leadership and congregational transformation in the Western world, we desperately need reliable assessments, valid metrics, and practical tools for understanding and fostering church health and growth. Sometimes churches need a consultant to come alongside to ask diagnostic, curious, and subversive questions. But sometimes consultants need someone else to ask diagnostic, curious, and subversive questions of their processes. Ian Duncum has been asking insightful questions for twenty years as a pastor and church consultant and now offers a timely in-depth analysis of church consultancy in a group of Australian Baptist Churches. The Impact of Church Consultancy is a gift and resource for churches, pastors, denominational leaders, and consultants to learn about the necessary dance between pastor and congregational system that fosters church health and lays the groundwork for church growth.”
