Marriage, Family & Relationships
“I'm so grateful for Joe's honesty about the games we all play and the hope that, despite our hang-ups, there's a way to be real with one another.”
Christian Living
“Amid the millions who marched for Black lives and those who pushed back with campaigns against critical race theory, Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson have worked faithfully with thousands of real people who were willing to listen to one another, trusting the Spirit to make a way toward beloved community. Living Undivided is the fruit of that work, offered as a feast for all who hunger and thirst for justice.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Opening to God is an invitation to prayer—not just a book about prayer, but a guide for daily practice. Like an intimate retreat with a spiritual master, it brings centuries of wisdom close enough to speak to our lives. I've never met David Benner, but I felt like I was reading someone who'd listened to my prayers.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Tim Otto is the rare voice in the church's conversation about human sexuality who gives me hope that despite all the pain and confusion, we who bear with one another may learn what it means to be Christian.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“What a gift to dwell in the world of the Psalms with Brueggemann in a way that allows us to look again at the world we thought we knew as the creation of the wild and wonderful God of the Psalms.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Pilgrim Practices is a great example of what can happen when a scholar lands in a local congregation and real lives become fertile soil for ideas. The demonstration plot of real community breathes life into Norris' theology. The result is a study of James that will benefit any congregation that's eager to join God's mission right where they are.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Part memoir, part guidebook for the contemplative activist, Pilgrimage of a Soul reads like a good conversation with an old friend. Heuertz's honesty about her own struggles created a space for me to see how wisdom from a host of spiritual guides speaks to my life. It's a gift to all of us, but especially to a guy like me who needs the graciousness of prophetic women like Phileena. I finished the book and felt refreshed, eager to enjoy a walk around my neighborhood.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Practicing Our Faith is more than a book; it outlines a movement—God’s movement—that is both as old as Abraham and as new as today’s emerging Christianity. Here is a way to live the abundant life that is good news for our neighbors, sweet rest for our souls, and hope for a church too long fragmented by division. Like the preachers of the last great awakening, I want to shout, ‘Get on board!’”
Christian Living
“Christine Pohl’s scholarship is a gift to the church, and this celebration of her life and work is a delight. May it inspire many to live into their vocation as she has.”
Reading Revelation Responsibly
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Sometimes I think there are only two kinds of Christians in America: those who've never read Revelation and those who read almost nothing else. This book can help either kind. With careful use of scholarship and an evident love for the Lamb who was slain, Michael Gorman demystifies a book that's meant to clarify what's at stake when we say, 'Jesus is Lord.'”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“What we call 'red states' are an optical illusion--places where religion has been used to pit neighbors against one another so a minority can maintain political control. But what Denker calls 'Red State Christians' are real. They've been cultivated for forty years by the Religious Right, and they've led the charge toward extremism in American public life. But they are our fellow Americans and family at God's welcome table. We need to listen closely to hear their pain and to learn how their healing is an essential part of the healing of our land.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I’m grateful that the Spirit is stirring women and men to engage in public life for the common good, through both U.S. political parties and as independents. Robb Ryerse may not have won his race in 2018, but he and many others have stepped up to shift the moral narrative in America. I’m grateful for him.”
Christian Living
“Dorothy Day said, 'Don't call me a saint; I don't want to be dismissed so easily.' Small Things with Great Love is an invitation to look Jesus head-on and ask what it means for your life if he really meant all that stuff he said—not just for saints, but for you. It's an important question. And you can be grateful that someone as funny and gracious as Margot Starbuck is asking it.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The most basic human question in daily living is not so much 'what?' but 'how?' Just check the magazine covers in the check-out line. Articles promise to tell us how to lose weight, how to get rich, how to be sexy. But what if you've lived enough to know that life is about more than health, wealth and a good time? This is a book for people who are interested in the how of a life that's really life. Would that it could be front-and-center in every check-out line.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Thank God, Kelly Johnson is bold enough to look our fear of beggars in the face. Love drives out fear, and indeed this book is filled with love for St. Francis, Peter Maurin, and the gifts their lives offer us if only we will let go of our purse strings to receive them. Here is a wealth of wisdom gleaned from Lady Poverty, Source of all our riches.”
The Myth of the American Dream
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“D. L. Mayfield is one of our most important contemplative writers. Her meditation on the myths we live and the better story Jesus offers is hearty soul food for all who hunger for justice. Eat this book. And like any good meal, share it with those you love.”
The Story of God, the Story of Us
“Despite our insistence on the authority of Scripture, we Christians too often let Washington and Walt Disney tell us our story. But whoever tells our story directs our lives. Sean Gladding invites us to hear God's story anew—to hear it as our own story—and to let it direct us toward the beloved community we're made to be. Listen to him. Commit this story to memory. Tell it to your kids. Let it direct your life.”
