David J. Williams

Being Christian after Christendom

“What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ in cultures that desire freedom, tolerance, and autonomy but reject the very gospel that gave birth to these values? David Rietveld steers us through the profound sociological changes that are leading to a post-Christian view of the world in a way that is clear, accessible, warm, and good-humored.”

Blest Be the Tie

Fiction

“With its warm and relatable cast of characters, Blest Be the Tie offers up parables of community and faith that feel instantly familiar and welcoming. White's collection of vignettes illuminates the Christian values and plain graces that unite, reconcile, and bring both healing and understanding.”

Play, Tongues, and Liberation Power

Theology

“By attending to noncognitive dimensions of language, Boese reimagines ‘speaking in tongues’ as a gift of the Spirit which sustains ‘play’ for the purpose of mystic union, prophetic empowerment, and liberation. It is a creative and powerful reappropriation of the ‘old line’ Pentecostal/charismatic distinctive to reinvigorate the life and Spirit-led witness of the local church. Boese has important things to say to pastors and theologians alike, whether or not you claim the Pentecostal/charismatic tradition as your own.”

The #MeToo Reckoning

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In The #MeToo Reckoning, Ruth Everhart shines a fierce light on the ways churches have been complacent or complicit in dismissing and diminishing victims of sexual malfeasance. Everhart's hard-won insights into the ways church leadership has failed to protect against the wolves in our fold make this book challenging but necessary reading for pastors and laity alike.”

Windows of the Heavens

Fiction

“Both engaging and thought-provoking, Windows of the Heavens gives the reader so much to consider. Brinton tells a tale of climate change, religious intolerance, and interfaith understanding, all wrapped up in an intimate small-town murder mystery that keeps us wanting more.”
