Doing Well by Doing Good

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Church leaders, anxious about the viability of their parishes and congregations in post-Christendom North America, too often turn inward, seeking church-centered means of survival. In this well-written, data-based study grounded in real-life examples, Brendan J. Barnicle conclusively demonstrates that participating in God's mission through local economic enterprises offers a hope-filled future for congregations. Read this book and be inspired to participate in the missio Dei in your neighborhood in new and exciting ways!”

Frozen Institutions

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There is no better student of the life and witness of the body of Christ than Bruce Kaye. An Anglican theologian deeply committed to and thoroughly engaged in the church in Australia and globally, Kaye is a sharp critic of the forces that undermine the church’s faithfulness to the gospel. These essays offer a hopeful future for both the Anglican Communion and Australian Anglicanism beyond Christendom and its divisive power politics. Good news indeed!”

Grace at the Garbage Dump

Evangelism & Missions

“Jesse is an articulate, passionate, and sophisticated young scholar and activist for God's global mission of restoration and reconciliation, who brings a unique and refreshing perspective to the realities and study of Christian mission in the world today. I can think of no more exciting study of Christian mission than Jesse's book. It is a welcome resource to the many people who are looking for a meaningful and contemporary presentation of what God is up to in the world today.”

Partnership as Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Ellie Johnson persistently challenged us to move beyond our preoccupations with the mission of the institutional Church and focus instead on God’s mission of (in her words) ‘healing, hope, and transformation’ in the world around us. This important collection of essays extends Ellie’s missiological vision, locating the mission of God within the contexts of changing ecclesiologies, the full personhood of indigenous peoples, and ecojustice movements. It is a fitting tribute to Ellie’s life, ministry, and dedication to God’s mission.”

The Asylum Seekers

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The Asylum Seekers is an honest, compelling, and heartfelt journey. Cristina Rathbone movingly portrays the dignity, grace, and strength of those seeking asylum. This is an uplifting tale of faith, hope, and life in the midst of despair, evil, and death. Read it and be moved.”

Unlikely Friends

Evangelism & Missions

“As one of Dana Robert’s early doctoral students, I have been blessed directly by her scholarship and intellect, care and companionship, for close to four decades. The authors’ contributions in this festschrift reflect the breadth and depth of her mentorship and faithfulness to companions on the way. Unlikely Friends is a fitting tribute to Dana Robert whose friendship has significantly advanced God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in the academy and the global church.”
