Doing Theological Double Dutch

Discipleship & Christian Education

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Just Traveling

Christian Living

“The Earthroamer speaks to us, transforms us, and transcends us as we anticipate, leave, surrender, meet, care, and return.”

Nurturing Different Dreams

Children & Youth

“There are very few youth ministry books that offer leaders honest, authentic, and practical discourse on ministry with racially and socioeconomically marginalized teenagers. Nurturing Different Dreams is just that kind of book. . . . Through the conversion of FaithTrek leaders, this book invites us to a new form of youth ministry that disrupts the power and privilege of white/middle-class society and liberates those on the margins, as well as those in the center, to live boldly and bravely into our God-given vocations. This is brilliant stuff for youth ministry.”
