Everyday Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“When I was a young Christian I was told that our job was to get people to heaven. The world (like now) was a mess, so evacuating people seemed like a good idea. What if instead I had been told that our main job was to bring the kingdom of God to our planet? What if that meant doing very practical things like advocating for people who were poor, voiceless and powerless? And what if I'd been told Jesus will only return when his followers have improved the situation for those people so much that it's finally become habitable for heaven? That's what I think now. If this idea intrigues you, read this book. It provides the how-tos.”

Face to Face, Volume Two

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“When a trained theologian with decades of real-life pastoring experience declares that 'we need to be more relational than rational or reasonable,' it's a long overdue table-flipping moment in the temple of the religious intelligentsia. With deft empathy and deep spiritual conviction, Marty Folsom explores the experiential interplay between theological reflections and the relational matrix most of us intuit but lack language to describe. If more pastors taught these kinds of insights with this kind of compassion, church would be a much harder place to leave than it's proven to be so far.”

Good Faith

Christian Living

“This book will prove to be most helpful to young Christians who are confused about their values and how to interface with a culturally tumultuous world. It will provide a biblical rationale for many moderately conservative believers to engage in new ways of practicing good faith.”

Sacrilege

“In Sacrilege, Hugh Halter attacks our spiritual sensibilities with a jarringly honest appraisal of the church. He also (to use even more street slang) ‘takes us to church’—specifically the church Jesus would attend. Halter is a missional apostle cut out of the same cloth as Saint Patrick. He is wild about Jesus, bullish about outsiders, and, despite numerous misgivings, still willing to stay connected with the church. Given Hugh’s low expectations (he only needs to convince three of us in order to feel successful), he only needs two more of you to sign up.”

The Transforming Fire of Divine Love

Christian Living

“Explorers travel to new places. Some travel in their thought life. If some of John’s references don’t alarm you then, you haven’t read him closely. John’s intellect requires challenge, depth, and difference. I’m really not worthy to endorse this book, but I can endorse John’s life of God-love. It’s real”
