Cloud of Witnesses

Christian Living

“Prayer is essential in the life of the believer. It shows our dependence on a holy and righteous God. It also affords the believer the opportunity to commune with God and worship him for who he is. But as significant as prayer is, it can be difficult to know how and what to pray. Cloud of Witnesses will serve as a guide for both the new and mature saint. I have prayed each prayer in this book for my family, friends, and even believers around the world. If you want communication with God that will set your heart ablaze and lead to more fruitful prayer, I commend this work to you. Have you ever struggled to pray? Oh, how you love God and know the importance of prayer. Your heart wants to pray. You make time to pray. But at the very moment you set to pray, you cannot gather the words to say. For a myriad of reasons, each of us has been in this position. If you struggle with articulating adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and petition, this book will serve as a sweet gift to you. Take these prayers and use them as a means of revival in your life and in the lives of those in your family, church, and community. God loves to answer prayer. Pray with boldness.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“David Kresta has written a book I am relying on as a guide in my work for its focus on how people of faith can be involved in community economic development and reengage with the economy and their local communities in response to God’s call to care for their neighbors. I have needed a book like this; it helps me tell the story of what I am doing, both to economic-development folks and to fellow Christians—and it helps to create new bridges of possibility.”

ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Abortion

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book resets the stage for faithful conversations around the ELCA social statement on abortion. Riswold accurately paints the rapidly shifting landscape in reproductive issues and highlights the strengths of the thirty-plus-year-old document as well as how we can make it speak more clearly and compassionately today. A key resource for anyone leading a conversation on these issues in the church.”

Why Spiritual Capital Matters

Work, Money & Leadership

“Craig Mattson’s exploration of the essential but invisible element of spiritual capital as it expresses itself on the neighborhood level, by the people making a place where people can thrive in the places they live while fighting to create a just economy, is a weekly listening habit worth creating. It’s a viewpoint, expressed in each story from a person creating a neighborhood economics of interdependence that you will enjoy, will inspire you, and will teach you things you didn’t know you needed to learn.”
