Love at Its Best When Church is a Mess

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“With an engaging personal prose that perfectly balances seriousness and playfulness, Patrick Allen provides fresh insight on 1 Corinthians 13 and its charge for Christians today. This book is about the cultivation of virtue—the faith, hope, and love that define the journey from ourselves toward our home with God. Allen does not mince words or romanticize the journey; he is real and his authenticity is refreshing. Readers will treasure the wisdom in this book and discover the beauty that can emerge alongside our own restlessness and wandering.”

The Death and Resurrection of the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Amid the disequilibrium now commonly characteristic of the church in North America, Dr. Brian offers hope beyond our empty scheming and misplaced allegiances. Death is not the end. But resurrection demands a new perceptibility and recovery of ecclesial life and witness deeper than our culturally captive church paradigms and postures. Brian’s book is inviting, provocative, and inspiring for readers immersed in or just beginning to discover the seeds of our ecclesial discontent and seeking promise rooted in the gospel and sustaining work of God.”
