"God Is Dead" and I Don't Feel So Good Myself

Apologetics

“Through insightful essays, penetrating conversations, and beautiful poetry, 'God is Dead' and I Don't Feel So Good Myself brings thoughtful theologians, philosophers, and poets together to engage, learn from, and critique the cultural expression known as the New Atheism. I highly recommend this text as a conversational form of cultural engagement marked by a careful and generous listening punctuated by conviction and humility, curiosity and critical thinking.”

Biblical Hermeneutics in the Metamodern Mood

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Biblical Hermeneutics in the Metamodern Mood is an invaluable resource for helping followers of Jesus see scriptural interpretation with fresh eyes. With wisdom and acumen, Seán McGuire enables readers to critically reflect on both their own hermeneutic while fostering a kind of thoughtful curiosity about interpretive lenses employed by others. In a time of increasing division, this book equips readers to engage with the sacred text in a way that is both faithful to their own context—body, time, place, communities, and traditions—and open to diverse perspectives.”

Creating a Missional Culture

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I have been craving a book that would facilitate the reimagination of church culture, and it is finally here. This is a book I hope many will devour.”

Decolonizing Evangelicalism

Theology

“Decolonizing Evangelicalism by Woodley and Sanders belongs in the hands of every follower in the Jesus way who has experienced colonization or marginalization or is beginning to see some of the ways they have participated in the oppression of others in the name of orthodox Christian theology. The book is as approachable and well-researched as it is invitational. I am personally grateful for this book and its authors and am confident you will be, too.”

From the Inside Out

Evangelism & Missions

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Incarnate

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In a culture obsessed with practices, technologies and forms of entertainment that distance us from what is most real-and-true human experience, Michael Frost wisely takes us back to the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ. Incarnate teases out the real-world implications of the embodied presence of God in Jesus Christ as the missional key for the body of Christ. Essential reading for faith communities seeking to follow Jesus into loving God by loving neighbors.”

Indigenous Theology and the Western Worldview

Theology

“A wise pathway to decolonizing Western doctrine and practice; spaciously inviting readers to rediscover our place as creatures within Creator's ecosystem. Abounding in story and conversation, Woodley's book demonstrates how a profoundly human, relational, and located theological method can open you to the wonder and presence of Creator in the everyday stuff of life.”

Live Like You Give a Damn!

Christian Living

“Live like you Give a Damn! is Tom Sine at his best . . . and it's a must-read. With the wisdom and clarity of a hopeful prophet Tom insightfully reads the signs of our times--some of which should sound alarms in us--yet all the while points to the new wine of the Spirit. This book is an invitation of God through real stories of fresh expressions borne of radical disciples of Jesus. This book is a study resource for colleges, seminaries, and congregations to enable us all to more fully put God's compassionate purposes first in our lives, communities, and congregations.”

Rescuing the Gospel from the Cowboys

Evangelism & Missions

“Having sat at the feet of Richard Twiss, known the warmth of his friendship and grieved his passing, I was thrilled to learn of this volume we now hold. Rescuing the Gospel from the Cowboys is a significant book for all who seek to live in the way of Jesus. Speaking honestly and respectfully in the face of oppression and violence perpetrated in the name of the good news, Twiss invites fresh and real ways of following in the way of Jesus without preference to any one cultural frame, and therefore opens the way to be who you are, as a particular person, of a particular culture, and to do so in the shambolic way of the Creator. This book accomplishes a vital task that should be self-evident: a person can be fully Lakota and fully Christian—in fact, there is no other way to be fully Christian. Twiss throws open the door for all indigenous churches to wrestle afresh with the fact that the gospel is at home in every culture and simultaneously alien to every culture.”

Turning Over Tables

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Turning Over Tables is a capacious invitation to discover afresh the liberative, healing, and empire-subverting way of Jesus. Drawing deeply from her own journey with love and justice, Kathy Escobar awakens us to see that every time Jesus pointed to the kin-dom of God, Jesus was flipping the tables of oppression and power abuse. This is a book to read, share, and practice with a handful of others also gripped by Jesus’ imagination of shalom for all and everything.”

View from the Urban Loft

Theology

“As I devoured Sean Benesh's Views from the Urban Loft the image of Jesus longing for the city of Jerusalem was never far from my heart and mind. Sean's hope for the city has a missional shape inviting people of faith to take a profoundly holistic second look at the place(s) where they live, work, play and worship. Views from the Urban Loft invites readers to dream and dares people to act for the common good of their place as Good News.”
