“Bethany Dearborn Hiser's From Burned Out to Beloved is a great resource for all who have found themselves on the verge of being burned out doing service and wondering where God is. Her honest retelling of her story makes this book more acompanion than a condemning voice, as she invites the reader to experience becoming the beloved of God. Hiser integrates psychological and theological resources to provide a deeper understanding of how to serve others and thrive, both thoughtfully and practically. The question is not, How do we serve, but from what sources do we draw to do service? For those of us who train people to think of communal service as a lifestyle, this is an important lesson in teaching them how to flourish.”

“With every fiber of his body, Tom Sine is compelled to look up and out towards the new horizon and report to us what he has seen. Live Like You Give a Damn! rouses us to join the movement of a generation of global social entrepreneurs who are changing the world with creative solutions to complex problems. At the heart of this book you can hear his desire that we see what he has seen, a social and cultural revolution arising from the fragmentation of our times, propelled by human creativity and energized by the compassionate love of Jesus. This is a book for our times and a guiding light to our future.”

“Adam Young’s Make Sense of Your Story is a profound exploration of the transformative power of understanding one’s personal narrative. It is not a book to rush through, as the journey of healing is intimate work that requires insight and kindness. Young masterfully guides us through the essential journey of making sense of our stories, particularly those rooted in our family of origin, to restore peace and relational wholeness in our lives, and he provides a compassionate framework for holistic healing of body and spirit. His skillful use of biblical narratives, cultural stories, and personal experience weaves an understanding of our essential need to be seen, heard, cherished, and reconnected. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to heal and transform their life story with grace and empathy.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Fashioned as a handbook for spiritual mentors, this book offers so much more depth and discernment than simple instruction. It has more the feel of an artisan teaching their craft than a technician explaining a manual. Poetic and deeply humanizing with story, metaphor, and cultural memory, Dr. Anderson invites spiritual mentors to listen to the life stories of their mentees as narratives cowritten with God. He reminds us that listening to God and being listened to are not competing ends. . . . Dr. Anderson's integrative thinking and thoughtful use of the his own narrative make this a rare and worthy offering.”
