Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“An author known for his queer theology expands his horizons to find what spirituality can do to entice people of faith to free the Earth. God Is Green traces the roots of human contact with the sacred all the way to our mythological roots from the soil, and fashioned by God's all-purposing hands, we embody the sacred's commitment to a life connected with all living things. Ignoring this rootedness, this connectedness, is a dangerous game played by industrial cultures. Robert calls us all back to the Earth and our interrelatedness to all living things as essential to a healthy, whole, and full life.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In a time when so much is changing, leaders are searching for insights to help them navigate the future with confidence. In Hear Us Out, we hear from those most affected by the change and most invested in the outcomes: youth and young adults. This book is a much-needed resource to add to the library of those invested in architecting a future faith that matters.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Incline Your Ear, Abbott and Blythe's gift to us all, opens a pathway to spirit-filled mission and life. We are all wise to join them on the journey.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In Letters to the Church, Bill Kincaid invites us to restore broken relationships caused by political and ideological divisions. Let all agents of reconciliation take note: this book should be in your tool belt.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“To articulate an ethic that is less a matter of logic and theory than the byproduct of a life engaged in struggle, Dr. Oglesby recounts some of the key moments in Black America's pursuit of justice, equality, and liberation. He claims a voice hewn from the rocky crevices of a racist culture, but polished and refined to reveal a durability, a beauty, and a resolve intended to inspire and to educate.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“An entire reformation was birthed when the Bible was given to the common worshiper. It’s amazing what the Spirit will do when she is not withheld from those who need her most. In Rainbow in the Word, Ellen Jimmerson invites a dying Church to free itself from the constraints of its long-held homophobia and exposes it to the biblical insights of today’s most marginalized voices. New life will emerge on the other side of this.”
Theology
“As we live through a season in which many will interrogate current and past articulations of the church, Prevett takes on the enormous task of examining the role of authority. He thoroughly grasps what must change without discarding important aspects of what continues to serve the church well. This is an important work for anyone who cares about how the church establishes and uses its authority for the good of the whole.”
Fiction
“As a good storyteller, Susan Thistlethwaite uses her characters to model for us what decency to each other and commitments to the common good look like. Never afraid to tackle America’s most controversial subjects, Susan uses good storytelling to awaken within us both a deeper awareness of the impact of the abuse of power and what courage in the face of that abuse looks like.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Choo Lak Yeow is both courageous and gentle as he reveals the global impact of white privilege as a heresy with clarity, and utilizes island traditions that promise healing and hope to both the perpetrators and victims of that privilege. I invite you not only to read this remarkable work, but also to put into practice the teachings he graciously offers.”
