Architectures of Grace in Pastoral Care
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book’s breadth and insight. Douglas Olds’s poetic approach, highlighting companionship as a dance, balances his deep intellectual journey. Olds provides an elevated view of pastoral care brings in social issues and political concerns—very appropriate from my point of view.”
Christian Living
“The personal restlessness, dissatisfaction, and cultural mayhem produced by our attempts to find and identify ourselves from within, without external reference points, is deeply saddening. Once, we assumed that our identity related to the greater purposes of a higher being. Increasingly now we favor starting with the idea that we can be our own gods, providing our own morality, reason for being, purpose and direction in life only to find that we are grievously inadequate to the task. Brian Rosner writes with the quiet authority of a deeply informed mind, keen observation of the human condition, and the warm understanding of personal experience of that condition. The result is a highly valuable book that offers wise counsel on combining a right personal reflectiveness with the wisdom of the ages as a better way.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“It will be a tragedy of inestimable proportions for the American people if that great nation eats its own legendary commitment to freedom from within. Equally, to lose the leadership of the world's most powerful champion of liberty would be truly dangerous for non-Americans everywhere in these increasingly unsettled times. Os Guinness has gifted us magnificently with the insights and understanding of a lifetime in this book, which really needs to be read—urgently—across the length and breadth of the world.”
History & Biography
“Drawing on both her own story of coming to Christ as a history professor and the stories of Christians through the ages, Sarah Irving-Stonebraker invites us to discover what for many of us is a long-lost inheritance. Priests of History encourages us to mine the riches of a Christian past that goes beyond our own lives and to learn from the insights and practices of brothers and sisters who are long dead but are still relevant. I knew Sarah back in her atheist days, and her story moves me greatly. I took particular delight in sitting at her feet and feeling her fresh and challenging rebuke of instruction to my own overly ahistorical life.” “This book is not only an exciting overview of much modern history and historical thought, but it is an invitation to our ahistorical age to rediscover its own history. History offers us a lens through which to understand our own times and problems and also gives us a creative glimpse at ways forward out of the West’s cultural malaise. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker’s volume is one of the most learned, accessible, personal, and hopeful books in years to look at our current generation and talk constructively about history. In the process of reading this book, we will come ultimately to a deeper awe of the God who is not just the God of the universe but the God of history.”
Reflections of an Unconverted Convert
History & Biography
“Through the prism of Elie Wiesel, Israel’s rich but underappreciated lament tradition, the book of Job, and his own experiences in both the Jewish and Christian faiths, Murray Haar explores what it means to speak honestly and faithfully about God after the Holocaust. Haar skillfully weaves memoir, midrash, and musings about the problem of God together in a discussion of how what happened ‘in those days’ remains deeply relevant for honest faith in our current day.”
The Making of a Tory Evangelical
History & Biography
“No less a person than that great defender of freedom, Winston Churchill, warned that failure to pass on the story of our culture to our children—its religion, its heroes—leaves them vulnerable to Karl Marx’s dictum that a people who do not know their history are easily persuaded. David Furse-Roberts is striking an important blow for freedom by ensuring that we can better understand the heroes who enhanced our humanity, and this history of the remarkable Lord Shaftesbury deserves wide readership.”
