American Imam

World Religions

“Imam Taymullah Abdur-Rahman's life journey has explored peaks and valleys most of us never see. Deeply rooted now in Islam, he has lived to reflect not only with great thinkers of the Islamic tradition but also with great writers of the civil rights movement. Abdur-Rahman's compelling stories, his engaging scholarship, and his rebounding life keep the reader hooked. He and these scholars invite us all to participate in keeping young people out of prison and in welcoming those leaving prison into loving, fruitful communities.”

Converting the Imagination

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Patrick Manning has synthesized a practical three-part educational approach to the Infinite. Inviting educators to trust the power of [religious] symbols, he shows them how to reenchant the imaginations of learners. While he takes into account relevant writings in philosophy, theology, Scripture, transformative learning, developmental psychology, religious education, and imagination, Manning’s ground is always his students—real people struggling to navigate meaning in a postmodern world. While intended for religious educators, this book will also serve arts and literature teachers.”
