A Magnificent Work

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book could have been called ‘the sins of the fathers’; it is hard to read, but for some of us, necessary. Dancing between autobiography, national history, and geological time, Oudshoorn calls out the brutal patterns that link sexual violence, racist colonial violence, and ecocide. Starting from his own place of damage and complicity he stumbles towards a traitorous white masculinity, one that gets schooled, de-centers itself, and knows the cost of seeking to serve tenderness.”

Principalities in Particular

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Against the backdrop of the author’s beloved Detroit, familiar patterns change and reappear kaleidoscopically through the lens of spiritual warfare. Principalities in Particular is indeed a practical theology. It is also a tribute to those who have most incisively named the Powers, Stringfellow, Wink, and Berrigan, and an engaging, exhorting, and encouraging tool for resisting the spiritual forces of racism, fascism, capitalism, and war that beset us today.”

This Sweet Earth

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Wylie-Kellerman takes a clear-eyed look at the current and coming impacts of global climate change and finds hope in the ordinary: neighborhood-scale mutuality, the fierce example of communities of color that have survived apocalypse already, and the sweet love and wonder of sweaty-headed boys for pet rabbits, bones found in the forest, and garden tomatoes.”

Watershed Discipleship

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is important not just because it offers some shred of hope for the future of the church, but because it shows Christians who are relevant allies in the struggle for the planet.”
