Did God Die on the Way to Houston? A Queer Tale

Fiction

“In this unique book with a piercing and provocative premise, Myers praises the silence-breakers, uplifts the compassion-seekers, empowers the marginalized, lauds the outlaws, inspires the activists, and liberates God from the chain-link fence of our assumptions. Read it and let yourself be set free for the holy task of tikkun-olam.”

Hurting Kids

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is a veritable tour de force, a clear and compelling handbook for the heartbreaking pursuit of compassionate justice for our nation’s most vulnerable youth. A quilt of research and ‘me-search’ (memoir) of exploration and exposé, Hurting Kids shatters myths surrounding racism, inequity, justice, trauma, white supremacy, Christian theology, and the juvenile detention system. Read it, teach it, and act upon on it—the young people’s lives Lelwica bears witness to demand nothing less of us.”

Neighbor Love through Fearful Days

Christian Living

“A relevant and meaningful book written not only for our moment--but from within that very moment. Read it and heed its clarion call to love, lament, and listen...and to remember, reflect, and resist the triple pandemics of our time: racism, COVID-19, and environmental disasters.”

Portraits of Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Nolter's Portraits of Peace provides a new, life-giving lens. Read its words, rest your eyes on the faces portrayed on its pages, and let it lead your heart on a powerful journey from polarization to peace.”

ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Abortion

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Praise for ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Abortion If you and your congregation seek a nuanced, clear, and hopeful book that will help you tackle one of the most complex and divisive issues facing our church and nation today, look no further. Riswold’s book invites, educates, and honors; it takes holy risks, builds bridges across barriers, and insists that we feel the intricate textures of real-life situations. This is more than a book—it is an act of compassion and conscience, a fountain of solidarity and trust.”

Dr.

The Embodied Path

“The Embodied Path is a brilliant, vulnerable, equity-seeking, cutting-edge exploration of life within our messy and beautiful bodies. Read it and fall in love with your own body, perhaps for the first time.”

The Hands-On Life

“Amy Weldon’s new book The Hands-On Life is a tour de force. It skillfully interweaves the personal with the political, and the pedagogical with the poetic. . . . In so doing, she helps every reader—student, teacher, community leader, or gardener—better navigate the ‘choppy waters of fear and hope in which we all bob.’ Read this book—you can’t afford not to.”
