Another Christ

Christian Living

“In a creative blend of history, imagination, and Franciscan spirituality Mayes explores diverse images of Christ. Readers are informed on aspects of contemporary scholarship, challenged through ‘alternative’ insights, and invited to new practices of prayer and reflection—all inspiring a renewed devotion in the context of today’s uncertain world.”

Art and Soul

Evangelism & Missions

“Art and Christian faith have always belonged together. Many of the world's most remarkable artists have been Christians, and the great historic cathedrals are also galleries--none of which should come as a surprise, as creativity is the primary attribute of God on the very first page of the Bible! In this book, Michelle Sanders offers an exciting vision for art as a vehicle of spiritual transformation, combining insights from theology and culture with her own stories of using art to explore and celebrate the presence of the divine in today's world.”

Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling

Church Leadership & Ministry

“When church leaders with a lifetime of experience ask awkward questions about how we do things, you probably need to pay attention. Al Roxburgh and Roy Searle have seen the church go from a dominant cultural force to marginal curiosity and ask how we might now be an effective spiritual presence in today’s world. Instead of trying to fix things by clever techniques they take us back to some key Bible narratives and the insights of Christians of earlier generations. It’s a book that may challenge you at a deep existential level, while offering accessible examples of attitudes and practices that can be lifegiving for both leaders and communities.”

Missional Discipleship After Christendom

Discipleship & Christian Education

“For centuries, it was assumed that ‘discipleship’—if it was mentioned at all—was just a matter of faithful attendance at church services . . . Dan Yarnell and Andrew Hardy invite readers to find inspiration in the New Testament and the early church while also drawing on their own experience to offer practical models of discipleship for the twenty-first century.”

Sacraments after Christendom

Preaching & Worship

“Churches around the world are asking how inherited practices might serve to inspire a new future, and this book identifies some of the key questions—drawing on Scripture and history, as well as taking account of people’s actual experience of God. Depending on your starting point, expect to be disturbed, inspired, and frustrated in equal measure: either way, it will expand your perspective to ask new questions.”

Sacred Space for the Missional Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“It was Canadian scholar Marshall McLuhan who first coined the phrase 'the medium is the message,' and Dr. Bill McAlpine, another Canadian, reminds readers that the gospel message is expressed not only in words but inescapably through the spaces in which Christians gather and worship. In a detailed and well-informed study that incorporates honest reflection on his own spiritual pilgrimage, he invites other Christians to reflect more deeply on what their buildings are saying about God.”

Salt, Light, and a City, Second Edition

Theology

“Graham Hill writes from a Protestant evangelical perspective, but this is a broadly based study, drawing on insights from all the historic traditions as well as biblical understandings and case studies that highlight the experience of those who are operating on the missional edge today. This is a significant contribution to the ongoing discussions about missiology and ecclesiology that will take the conversation forward in creative and well-informed directions.”
