“My” Jesus

Preaching & Worship

“'Jesus' renown imprisons him,' laments Louis Simon, the author of this startling collection of freshly translated sermons. After observing the difficulty of meeting Jesus 'face to face,' Simon the preacher sighs, 'Alas.' As hard as it is to hear the Gospel afresh, it breaks free again and again in these pages. Layers of religious pretension, gooey piety, and encrusted orthodoxies are cracked open by the piercing prose--nearly poetry--of this French preacher.”

Called to Reconciliation

Christian Living

“Augustine has issued a call to the church to engage its diversity, or sad lack of it, if it is to take up the all-important work of reconciliation. Augustine’s mastery of theology, political theory, sociology, and the law enables him to describe a path forward. It is way past time for our congregations to give up on their segregated ways and become beacons and witnesses for true reconciliation. For any in the church looking for a partner in the Christian vocation of reconciliation, they will find one in this author and be enriched by his wisdom and passion.”

Pitfalls in Preaching

Preaching & Worship

“Preachers beware! In this book you will recognize mistakes you have made and make still. You will find yourself saying, 'Hey, I do that. That's not so bad, or is it?' In struggling with pitfalls in your preaching you will also discover strengths in your preaching. After all is said and done, it is strengthening the preaching of the church that has led Richard Eslinger to write this helpful book.”

Professional Christian

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Listening with a careful ear to her own experience and probing through interviews of the experiences of dozens of practicing pastors, teachers, and musicians, Dr. Bereza is a welcome companion to any on the journey of professional ministry, ordained or lay.”

The Paradox of Church and World

Theology

“Theology arises from a set of concerns that are right in front of you. Jon Diefenthaler has pulled together a tapestry of writings from H. Richard Niebuhr that help us know what concerns were right in front of Niebuhr. It turns out that Niebuhr’s concerns very often overlap with our own. As a result these essays are timely and transformative.”
