Christly Gestures

“Brett Webb-Mitchell is a new and important voice in the conversation on church education. In this new book he offers a fresh vision for religious educators and pastors as well as a useful introduction to major issues in the field for seminarians and those who teach them. Christly Gestures begins by rehearsing the major issues in Christian religious education today and then outlines the contours of an alternative to the either/or choice between religious enculturation and religious instruction. Webb-Mitchell's conceptualization of 'pilgrim catechesis' offers a way to counter the pervasive influence of North American individualism, to redress the imbalance of overemphasizing on cognition and content in church education, and to affirm the lifelong character of learning Christ.”

Helping Our Children Grow in Faith

Christian Living

“Biblical,’ ‘practical,’ and ‘scholarly’ is one way to describe Robert J. Keeley’s book. ‘Warm,’ ‘gentle,’ and ‘encouraging’ are another set of descriptors. Helping Our Children Grow in Faith weaves personal experience with scholarly research and biblical perspectives in offering pastors, parents, and church educators practical wisdom while gently challenging them to consider new ways to offer children a rich, vibrant faith.”
