A Radiant Birth

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“A Radiant Birth is a true gift. Poetry and prose flow mingled down into the heart and soul. Lovingly assembled by two wise and care-filled writers, it warmly welcomes readers into the mystery and wonder of Advent. This is a book that you will cherish and read year after year.”

An Invitation to Slow

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In these crazy-fast times measured in nanoseconds by gadgets on our wrists that overload us with information, the McMinns have gifted us with an important call to a pace that more fits the speed of our souls. I especially appreciated the ‘Interludes’ interspersed throughout the text and the ‘Slow Ponderings’ at the end of each chapter. I think you will too.”

Breath Prayer

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In this lovely book, from one of the most profound spiritual writers of our time, Christine Valters Paintner invites us into the ancient, yet ever-new practice of breath prayer--linking it to breathing in the sacredness of the holy ordinary of our daily lives. What a blessing this book is.”

Discovering Humor in the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Howard Macy is wise, warm, and witty. His new book, Discovering Humor in the Bible, is all of those things as well. As Leo Rosten once wrote, 'Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.' Howard's book is a wonderful example of that truth--as you read it you'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll gain fresh insights, and you'll come away deeply enriched for having spent time with it.”

Recovering Abundance

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As a former country-church pastor, I wish I would have had this book when I was starting out. It's packed with practical wisdom and tools to be a faithful leader in parts of our country too long neglected.”
