Christian Living
“We absolutely must recover from a shame-based theology. You and I are meant to live from our identity as God's image bearers—shame be damned!!! Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw offer a winsome road map helping us orient toward the reality of God's love for us, out of our shame and into the presence and story of God. God in fact likes us very much—we belong to him and he is always glad to be with us. The Holsclaws bring us the depth of a theological anthropology from creation to consummation—served up with stories and metaphors from their own lives—inviting us toward a clearer understanding of how God sees us.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Sarah Cowan Johnson's instincts are absolutely right: parents can be the most important pastoral presence in their child's life. Our children need something real to grab on to—from our own life with God, from their own encounters with God, and from the everyday moments when God is close. God is always very close to us. This book is a very practical guide helping parents facilitate the practice of encountering God in the tiny moments of everyday life. This book will absolutely help parents in the work of the spiritual accompaniment of their children.”
Children & Youth
“Forming Resilient Children shines a bright light toward the need for churches, mentors, and caregivers to partner together to attend to all the places where grief, trauma, and the general struggle of being a human can feel like wading through the darkness for our little ones. Holly Allen brilliantly makes her own research and scholarly work inform the very practical day-to-day conversations we nurture. She provides even more evidence from the field for what we've always intuitively and culturally known to be true: our children need a host of people attending to their spiritual formation.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Deborah Gregory is a wise and tender guide. In Spiritual Wayfinding, she helps us remember that the discernment of God's presence begins in our bodies and unfolds as we move through the world with attention and care. She leads us into an on-the-ground life rooted in creation and helps us open our eyes to the grandeur of God along the way. Life with God is relational and communal, and Deborah is writing to help us remember that we never walk alone.”
