Do Something Else

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Community organizing teaches that 'you can't build what you can't imagine.' With depth, hope, and delightful storytelling, Phillips has pulled together a collection of leaders and ministries that help us expand our imaginations about how to be the body of Christ in the world.”

God, Improv, and the Art of Living

Christian Living

“Insightful and truthful. . . . Offers a fresh perspective on the profound freedom and gift of saying YES to life and God.”

Joy Even on Your Worst Days

Christian Living

“The discipline of joy might seem at first glance an oxymoron, but Tom Are pulls on Paul’s ancient wisdom to teach us just that—that we have been given the gift to live in joy even in the most difficult moments. The endearing storytelling and deep theological insight will engage preachers, congregation members, and faith questioners alike, and encourage us all to live in joy.”

The Bush Still Burns

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Part memoir, part organizing primer, part spiritual wisdom, Terry Moe's beautiful storytelling invites us into what it means to act in the world as it is on behalf of the world as it should be. The depth of honesty in these pages shows us the best of courageous leadership, reminds us again that transformation is possible, and offers inspiration for all of us trying to lead the church in these complicated times.”

Theology from the Trenches

Church Leadership & Ministry

“With a good dose of wisdom, experience, and humility, Roger Gench weaves together a powerful text on pastoral leadership, theology, and the disciplines of community organizing. Gench writes with refreshing honesty about ‘doing theology from the trenches of urban ministry,’ but his insights into the ‘cruciform covenant’ extend far beyond the urban context. Through sermons, practical applications, and thought-provoking discussion questions, Gench provides a guidebook for leaders to help their own communities stand in covenant relationship with God and others ‘at the intersection where God is bringing justice, reconciliation, and life out of the crucifixions that litter our landscapes.’ Tackling topics such as race, poverty, food deserts, and living wages alongside the Apostles’ Creed and the Great Commandment, this book is a must-read for those leaders who desire to deepen a congregation’s theological self-understanding and transform the congregation’s service and witness in the community.”
