Collisions of Earth and Sky

“Heidi Barr has done it again! Reading Collisions of Earth and Sky feels like taking a refreshing meander through the woods with a time-tested friend, swapping stories and remembering our true selves. This book is a gift in its gentle and profound path to a mindful pace and intentionality, allowing the wildness of life to unfold in and around us.”

Is That Poop on My Arm? Parenting While Christian

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Is That Poop on My Arm? is a touching and poignant narrative that successfully captures the beautiful mess that is parenting in faith. Justin Lind-Ayres seamlessly flows from parent to pastor, from prophet to student and always writes as an honest, vulnerable, and wise child of God. The chapters expertly and accessibly address themes from life and death to Cheerios and the Tooth Fairy, to stewardship and communion through the lens of precious childhood innocence. Is That Poop on My Arm? reminds us that our children are capable of preaching, teaching, and making our church better. They are, in fact, raising us. It is a gift to have faith like a child. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself both laughing and crying in the first chapter titled ‘Poop,’ and then I continued to laugh and cry reading every chapter thereafter. Lind-Ayres generously shares moments of deep intimacy with his children as they explore love, loss, giving, and belonging. He tells stories that are tender and true, oozing the good news of our gospel in ways both simple and profound. We get a front-row seat to moments between parent and child of blessing and being blessed, and in so doing, this book truly blesses us.”

It All Counts

Christian Living

“This is the book we need right now and forever, a true balm straight into the veins. Refreshing, hopeful, and utterly delightful, in It All Counts, Natalia Terfa reminds us of the simple yet profound good news that there is no such thing as more holy or less holy. There is just holy. Terfa became the pastor she needed when she was young, and now here in this absolute gem of a book we get unfettered access to her abundant and contagious wisdom, insight, curiosity, and encouragement. Terfa breathes life back into worn-dull bibles passages with refreshing exegesis and weaves living theology with stories that interrupt and break open with their beauty. Gift it to yourself, everyone who has been told by the church that they do faith wrong, and everyone else, too.”

Meeting Jesus at the Table

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Like a great meal, Meeting Jesus at the Table is deep nourishment. Weaving art, scripture, reflections, questions for discussion and a guide for leaders, this Lenten study is a gift to individuals, devotional groups, and congregations alike. We all hunger. We all eat. Campbell, Fohr, and Burns beautifully remind us that Jesus meets us in the sacred ordinary acts of breaking bread together. In a world of power struggle and food insecurity, we remember and celebrate that at God’s table all are welcome and there is always enough.”

My Body and Other Crumbling Empires

“In a society that creates a false binary between the sick and the well, Lyndsey Medford bravely reminds us that surrender is a form of strength, that gentleness can achieve what force cannot, and that we are deeply interdependent.”

Ordinary Blessings

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In Ordinary Blessings, Meta Herrick Carlson invites us to take a second look at our days through lenses of hope, abundance, and a sense of enough. Her writing is accessible and beautiful, dusting off our stale ideas of prayer and offering us God’s healing in the places we hurt the most. Ordinary Blessings is a gift.”

Ordinary Blessings for Parents

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Meta Herrick Carlson has done it again. Ordinary Blessings for Parents is for every person who loves a child. In a society that gets judgy about parenting, where fear, shame, and not-enoughness reign, Meta says what we are desperate to hear about the tiny and holy moments, reminding us to pay attention to this sacred role. Superb and true, a refreshing gift.”

Ordinary Blessings for the Christmas Season

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Delightful, refreshing, and oh so true, Ordinary Blessings for Christmas is both a perfect stocking stuffer and church resource for the season. In these pages is permission to rest, to winter, to claim our freedom, and to look again and see God in every nook and cranny of Christmas.”

The End Is the Beginning

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“If you have ever looked out at the world and wondered if it was the end times, this book is for you. Rigorous and accessible, Matthew Ian Fleming guides us through the scariest book in the Bible, inviting us from fear back to love, where God's vision of a new world is revealed. As sage, storyteller, and scholar, Fleming's beautiful words teach, heal, invite, and inspire. The end is, in fact, the beginning.”
