“''This is not a resource to be picked up and read. Instead, it is an experience to be lived and shared with others! These are stories of health and hope, of Good Fridays and Easters, of worries, wars, and woes, with a few 'wows' thrown in. Mitri Raheb is a 'divine irritant' who must be heard and experienced....''”

Christians and a Land Called Holy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Welcome to a land called 'holy.' That's a succinct summary of this new engaging enterprise by the Lutz-Smith team. The sub-title, 'Fostering, peace, justice, and hope' says it even more directly — this journey to the holy land is a pragmatic and promise-filled venture with stimulating stories, helpful 'how to's', and ready resources. I commend the authors for telling their stories of the holy land through their eyes and ears and perceptions. Their views challenge the reader to learn more about this place called Holy! Thanks to Augsburg for the opportunity to take this pilgrimage to the land called holy. Now it is up to us readers to take the next steps toward peace, justice and hope! And bring this book along on your journey! May we all be lead to Be Hope and Do Hope in our own personal holy lands of life!”

Ending Hunger Now

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“An old saying about celebrating our gifts, while at the same time responding to the needs of people, simply states: 'Accept your fatness — and help skinny people get fat!' This resource pushes the reader to move on from global guilt trips to practical and doable ways to make the title of this book a reality! And it all starts with me — and you — now!"”

I Will to You

Christian Living

“In I Will to You Herb Brokering wills us his family, himself, his creativity, his eighty years of living as a living will for others. And throughout these pages, he also wills us his worries, woes, and wars, right along with his wows, whims, and wellness in the Lord! Will you read this book? I will, again and again. After all, Herb has willed it to us!”
