“In Beyond Shame, Roberts invites us to first notice the shame surrounding our sexuality and then to step beyond it. This book is for anyone who has ever doubted if their sexuality is good or loves someone who has.”
Feminist Prayers for My Daughter
World Religions
“So much of mothering a daughter is wordless: an embodied longing for a world in which she is fully connected to herself and others, a heartache knowing she will face pain, an uncontainable awe at the delight of who she is becoming, a bow of the head to Mother God to show us both the way. Evans offers us words where there often aren’t any. She shows us how and what to pray for our daughters, because when our daughters are treasured, free to live their lives fully, it is better for us all.”

Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Through striking visuals and conversational prose, Scott Erickson has created a doorway between the foreign and the familiar, the simple and the complex, holiday and the everyday. On any day of the year, but especially through the time of Advent, land on any page in this book to find a prayer, a bridge, an invitation into what is coming and out of the boxes we put around God.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“In the Low is an accompaniment for the places inside that deserve to be known, the wordless places that need words, the dark and diffuse places that need form and shape. In being met in the Low we can come to find how these places not only are part of being human but are full of treasures.”

“In his book Longing for Joy, Sterne invites us to encounter a joy that is as robust as it is mysterious, as whimsical as it is accessible, as human as it is divine. With writing that is informed, playful, and full of heart, Sterne weaves together theological thought and personal encounter, creating a hopeful tapestry of aliveness that does not eschew suffering but welcomes it in to feast at joy's table. I can imagine no better guide to joy than this.”
Christian Living
“Those of us who have grown up in communities and practices of faith are no strangers to stories. Unfortunately, most of those stories are about other people—leaving our inner worlds an unexplored mystery that shapes our present moment without our awareness. In this book, Young invites us to know our stories so that we can not only know ourselves but be in an embodied, aware, present relationship with ourselves and others. Young invites us to see that understanding our past supports us to engage more meaningfully with God, with hope, and with connection in our present and future.”

“Shame thrives in silence and isolation. By bringing shame—and its many masks and qualities—to the fore, Shigematsu creates a space for us to examine it and ultimately set it down in favor of what is true about ourselves as God’s creation whom he has called good. Filled with useful insights, practices, and stories, this book is like a mirror we can hold up against ourselves to see who we really are underneath the mask of shame.”
History & Biography
“Davies’s story reads like something out of our sacred text: a narrative full of humanness, complexity, and faith. By telling us about her life and what she has learned, she carves out even more space for a spiritual life in the grey, inviting us to see that no matter what we have been told there is room for the holy in our sensuality.”

Christian Living
“This is an essential guide for life after purity culture for those who want to deconstruct the myths that hurt them without leaving behind the faith they love. Weaving together stories from Dr. Morgante’s own life and the lives of others, critical analysis of what purity culture is and why it is harmful, and practical strategies for recovering from those wounds, this book will help readers more deeply know that their bodies were never the problem—only the stories told about them.”

Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“As people on a faith journey, an essential ingredient to our continued development is the ability to take the intangible and make it tangible, to make the foreign and unfamiliar personal and intimate. This book provides an invitation for the intangible, foreign, perhaps vast and unfamiliar aspects of faith to have invitations in the daily, the present, and the very much 'right here' of our lives. I'm grateful that this book exists to help us know and experience what is always true: that God loves us and can be found right here in the rhythms of life.”

“Scott Erickson comes alongside us with humor, grace, and wisdom to remind us that maybe we’re not as stuck as we think we are. Through carefully crafted words and images, Scott speaks straight to the heart of things in a beautiful way I’ve never experienced before. JJ Heller, singer/songwriter Like a psychological roller coaster, with twists, hilarity, and existentially provoking content at every turn, Say Yes is an invitation into creativity itself. Scott Erickson’s genius expression of self and community belonging makes a way for my own to come forth.”

“Scoot Over and Make Some Room is both memoir and prophetic invitation, woven together with humor and compassionate insight. Heather Avis’s writing reminds us that everyone matters and that the world is a more beautiful place when we make room for the people who are often pushed to the margins.”
The Most Beautiful Thing I've Seen
History & Biography
“In her book, Lisa gives us the most precious gift of all—herself. We read the story of mother and daughter, and the transformation of that daughter into a mother herself—one unbroken line of womanhood, a journey of becoming and letting go all at the same time. This book is honest and breathtakingly beautiful. It is as much a woman’s story as it is an invitation into the greater story, a story of opening, oneness, and the painfully awe-inspiring journey of being human.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The perfect example of integration, What Makes You Bloom is a seamless blend of ancient wisdom with modern insight, irreverence woven into an accessible and nourishing sacred lens on all things, and truth-telling that is at once gentle and incisive. This book is sure to wake you up, stretch you, and affirm you.”
“Although it would have been an easier path to instruct us how to be in our bodies in one particular way, Teng does the braver and more skillful thing of calling us to be in relationship with our own bodies, to let our own sensuality light the way to a more liberated future of connection.”
