Evangelism & Missions
“Mekdes Haddis's hope and love for the Western church shines through full words of critique, rebuke, and correction. Haddis holds in tension the real harm done by white saviorism and white nationalism in evangelical practice with the real transformation and repair Jesus offers. Church leaders and congregants alike would do well to read A Just Mission in community.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“In a world of feel-good soundbites and curated social media lives, Donna Barber offers us words that acknowledge the hard work of justice and hope even when change doesn't seem obvious. She can do this because she does the work of justice, walking in faith, and I am so grateful for such a wise guide.”
“A raw, honest, and powerful book. Zaragoza-Petty offers a gift to monocultural readers: insight into the realities of twenty-first-century multicultural experience. For us multicultural readers, she holds up our liminality as sacred and a core part of justice-centering as she weaves between stories and language, pain and healing, unjust realities and hope.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Marriage is a journey, and no matter where you and your spouse are in it, Choosing Us is an important guide. The Bantums share with tender honesty, inviting us into their past, and offer incisive questions, encouraging us in our present. They do not shy away from pointing out how gender, racial, and ethnic identity and cultural norms can shape faith and marriage, inviting all readers to consider the assumptions and expectations we bring into it. Do yourself and your marriage a favor. Read this book.”
Christian Living
“biblical studies at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, IN; licensed minister in the Mennonite Church USA; and author of Leaving Silence “Josh Buck offers a much-needed reminder that Christians ought to be activists. Everyday Activism reminds readers that Jesus’s ministry and day-to-day actions compel us not only to emotionally respond to the brokenness in the world but to consider how we as individuals and collectively as the Church contribute to the brokenness but can also be part of the solution.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Edmondson and Brennan weave together data and statistics, church and cultural histories, Scripture and personal narrative, inviting readers into a spiritual journey of repentance and conversion—both personal and communal. Faithful Antiracism is a timely reminder that seeking justice ought never be a trend for the church to follow, for it is core to the church.”
Christian Living
““Words are powerful, and Alia Joy wields that power with hard-won, unflinching honesty, patience, and love. She does not sugarcoat the injustices she and her family experienced but invites readers to sit with her in the margins, where so many of us claim to be but so few of us actually are.”
Women
“The church has long ignored, if not silenced, voices of the likes of Rivera, Robinson, and Vega Quiñones and suffered for it. Clear out time and space to read this book as the authors generously unpack their personal stories and Scripture with wisdom, insight, and a much-needed challenge and invitation to consider how Christ-filled leadership impacts individuals and their communities.”
Christian Living
“How to Fix a Broken Record reads like the liner notes of a favorite album, chapters replacing tracks, with favorites you will return to and rediscover.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Chan, Daniel, de Leon, and Thao take on the limitations and possibilities of the label 'Asian American' while leading Asian Americans back to ourselves, our communities, and our Creator. The authors pass back and forth a narrative baton that honors those who came before us with grace and honesty, and beautifully offer an invitation for readers to do the same. Learning Our Names skillfully holds the tension of a book that will freeze experiences in time for a people whose stories continue to emerge.”
Children & Youth
“In Parable of the Brown Girl, Adams introduces us to brown girls by name, skillfully setting their personal stories against everyday stereotypes, turning them and us on our heads to see how Scripture shows us all a better way to see one another fully.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Real Life changes the paradigm for disciplemaking the way True Story pushed evangelism beyond the bridge diagram. Choung weaves an engaging story with helpful data, explains cultural and generational values and shifts, and moves us into the core spiritual questions of each generation. Real Life asks readers to consider disciplemaking as part of integrated Christian life and leadership in community without separating it from evangelism. I'm excited to see how the church will live and grow after reading Real Life.”
Christian Living
“sweet little bubble” to create a world that makes space for everyone. She refreshingly names injustice and invites readers to learn with her, not just from her. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and have some of your own behaviors and beliefs challenged.”
Struggling with Evangelicalism
“I'm not sure I'd call myself an evangelical anymore; God knows many have already labeled me as an outsider. But because of the way labels are adopted or assigned, it was good for my soul to read Struggling with Evangelicalism and be able to give thanks for a tradition while also critiquing it as a former insider. Stringer invites readers to separate the brand from the space, and while I don't know if that can actually be done, it's an invitation worth examining for any faith tradition.”
Christian Living
“Michel artfully weaves together Scripture and story to point us straight to the truth of God's love, grace and provision. This is not a Christian guide to success or a biblical condemnation of desire. This is a book that rightly resets our human desires into the context of God's good news.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The Minority Experience is a helpful addition for organizational leaders to grow and deepen their cultural intelligence to include race and ethnicity. Author Adrian Pei draws from his own ethnic identity journey, which pushes his understanding of leadership and faith, and graciously tells the story of organizational failures and opportunities.”
The Myth of the American Dream
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Christians looking for a list of things to do to address privilege, affluence, and white supremacy should not read this book because D. L. Mayfield does not offer pithy, easy answers. This is not a self-help book for dealing with guilt. She offers us her failures and questions, challenges us to consider how our lives and faith have been shaped and misshapen by the myth of the American dream, and invites us to interrogate our beliefs and lives. What a needed invitation.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There is an inherent danger in attempting to decolonize and deconstruct one's faith without an understanding of how deeply Western Christianity wed itself to the false and dangerous Doctrine of Discovery. Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah skillfully give us an unflinching look at Western political and church history, weave in personal stories, and help connect the past to present policies, appealing to both our hearts and minds.”
