Life Questions Every Student Asks

Christian Living

“Every conversation in this book I had as a student at Columbia University, except I didn't have this book to ground and launch those discussions. If you are a college student or work with them, then this is the book to get together to discuss and wrestle with what it looks like to follow Jesus in the face of a dominant culture that calls you to look elsewhere for identity, significance, and satisfaction.”

Soul Care in African American Practice

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The story of African American faith forged in the bellies of slave ships, midnight stints in the forest, prayer closets, and prison cells needs to be spread to every corner of creation where greed seeks to crush the image of God in humanity. The power of Jesus subverts the power of imperialism, pushes against the false gospel of racial hierarchy, and gives physical and spiritual freedom to all who desire communion with the Holy One. This book is a gift to every nation from the people whose faith comes from a sustained refusal to be slaves to a god invented in the United States.”

The Power of Group Prayer

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Prayer is an intimate invitation to commune with an infinite God whose love and power is unlimited. Carolyn Carney has accepted that invitation and invites us to do the same as those bearing faithful witness to our God. She boldly reminds us that what we pray for may not change, but we will be unrecognizably transformed.”

Wait with Me

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“It is not easy to find biblical, relevant, practical, and emotionally engaged content that presses us into the tension of existence as opposed to showing us how to manage or get away. This book is not a roadmap on how to escape something that is core to being human but a testament to how rigorous engagement with loneliness can free us to live more fully as people made in the image of God. This isn't just a book you should buy; it is a book you should read.”
