Ken Carter
History & Biography
“How do we hear the voice of God speaking through and apart from those who journey with us through life? And how do we find our own voices in these conversations and callings? Leighton Ford's life embodies the good news of Jesus because he is such an extraordinary listener. And through vulnerable and articulate remembrance, his story leads us more deeply into our own.”
History & Biography
“Awakening to Justice is an account of an evangelical reckoning with racism that is holistic, complex, and sustained over time. It includes prominent and marginalized voices, celebrates progress and laments failure, and portrays a prolonged and countercultural struggle with the evil of human slavery. Because the narratives are honest, they are also hopeful. In moving deeply and truthfully into a past we are often tempted to avoid, the members of the dialogue model what it might mean to faithfully remember a past that is too much with us.”
“The church is blessed when ministers enter the complicated spaces where persons live, search, and struggle, and Melynne Rust has offered us a gift in sharing her own journey.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The strength of this major research initiative lies in its combination of data and narrative, social scientific rigor and theological wisdom, description and practical guidance. We now know a great deal more about the health and well-being of clergy—which encompasses survival, resilience, and flourishing—and we are greatly indebted to Proeschold-Bell and Byassee.”
Bishop.
Christian Living
“When we follow Jesus, we discover along the way that God blesses us with the gift of friendship. These relationships, in turn, make a life of faithfulness, hope, and joy possible. Dana Robert is one of our most distinguished missiologists, and in Faithful Friendships, her reflections are deeply rooted in the gospels, in richly varied stories of Christian mission, and in our own need for the diverse gifts of the people God places along our journeys.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Jim Harnish is one of our wisest and most trusted spiritual guides. He knows the terrain of life and ministry, he reads the present moment with realism and honesty, and he relies upon an array of resources that are sufficient for the journey. As we live through multiple crises and pandemics, a deep tradition provides assurance and hope. Finding Your Bearings is a guide in this faithful journey.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“In Grace Rediscovered, Ben Gosden leads us on a journey through fatigue, confusion and angst to God’s gifts of grace, healing and hope. Ben is a spiritual guide whose life bears witness to authenticity and courage, and his ministry is an outward and visible sign of these virtues. This book is an extraordinary and timely resource for this season.”
Christian Living
“Weaving together Scripture and tradition, Debra Dean Murphy wisely calls us into community where we hear the voice of Jesus describing the blessed life, and partake of his meal in the sacrament. This deep scriptural reflection is in dialogue with a sustained immersion in the Wesleyan tradition and a compelling cultural criticism. This work leads us to desire a happier, holier, and more beautiful life.”
Missional. Monastic. Mainline.
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In her teaching and writing, Elaine Heath has led pilgrims to thin places where the Holy Spirit pierces most, if not all, of our illusions. As denominations flatten and fragment, she and Larry Duggins have become evangelists for a 'tradition behind the tradition' and strategists for a future that is missional, monastic, and mainline. Many will find healing and hope in these pages!”
Christian Living
“We have a deep desire for community and a correspondingly deep thirst for grace. As Larry Duggins develops a practical theology grounded in scripture and Wesleyan tradition, he encourages us to become more faithful disciples of Jesus and to join God's transformative work in the world.”
