“A Brown Girl's Epiphany is the book I wish I'd had when I was a young Latina struggling with my identity. For those of us forced by oppressive systems to disconnect from our racial and ethnic identities, this book offers the opportunity to heal our wounds and affirm our beauty and worth. This book will delight and challenge you as you discover your own epiphanies along the way.”

Throughout this book, Birmingham and Sallinen Simard shine a light on where organizational faith leaders have missed the mark and how they can correct course.

Deserted

Fiction

In My Grandmother's House

Theology

“In My Grandmother's House is profoundly hopeful, deeply challenging, and always surprising in the best sense. Through the stories of her grandmother and the older Black women in the church, Dr. Yolanda Pierce offers a powerful vision of a God who loves Black women and is deeply invested in their wholeness and freedom. This work of womanist theology is for everyone because it offers a theological lens for the liberation work Black women have always engaged in--it calls us to take Jesus out of the box of tradition so we can see the subversive work of God in the world. After reading it, I wanted to live in her grandmother's house and glean her wisdom and love for God. In My Grandmother's House is a gift that will inspire and change you--it's a must-read!”

Recovering Racists

Women

“This book is an absolute must-read for white people seeking to be recovering racists and anti-racists. With vulnerability and intentionality, McVicker invites the reader into her story and her own journey of facing her own and her country’s racism. She challenges her reader to more fully understand, embrace, and find the courage to live out the call not just to recognize the racism they’ve internalized but to become active anti- racists. Recovering Racists will encourage and liberate those who are ready to receive its wisdom.”

Shining like the Sun

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In a world where it seems everyone is deconstructing faith, it's refreshing to read a book about rekindling faith. Trust the guidance of Steve Wiens as he offers an invitation to practices that will lead you to communion with the divine.”

The Myth of the American Dream

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Three pages into The Myth of the American Dream I was reminded that D. L. Mayfield is an unapologetic truth teller devoted to loving her neighbors. She has a prophetic voice, and like all prophets, she speaks the truth while reminding us God loves us. That is why we are invited not to a life of charity but of solidarity and advocacy with those on the margins. In her book, we learn ethics matter, integrity matters, and we cannot say we love our neighbors while supporting an empire that exploits and discards them. With humility and honesty, she guides our imaginations toward a powerful vision of a life lived according to the economy of God, one of justice and flourishing for all.”

When We Stand

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Terence Lester writes with vulnerability, grace, and truth about the endless possibilities for good in the world when we seek justice in community. You will be changed by reading the Bible through his eyes. You will be inspired by his story, as he has been transformed through his friendships with those most of us overlook. Lester's book is deeply relevant, practical, and theological—a rare combination! He believes deeply in the God who lives in community as Father, Son, and Spirit and calls us to do the same as we live out our calling to seek justice. If reading the news, scrolling through social media, or watching current events unfold on television leaves you despairing and feeling helpless, When We Stand is the book for you. It's a must-read, offering a tangible and compelling way forward for everyone who wants to follow in the steps of our God of justice.”
