Church Leadership & Ministry
“Theological reflection is foundational to ministry formation and thus to field education. However, it can be a complex, diverse, and multifaceted discipline. Brimming with God addresses those complexities and provides a wonderful guide to the diversity of theological reflection. It offers clear explanations and examples of how to do theological reflection effectively. This is a resource no field educator should be without.”
Evangelical, Sacramental, and Pentecostal
Theology
“This is a timely and significant book because it captures the emerging ecumenical, experiential spirit of our times. Smith's book offers a brilliant and practical vision for how the contours of an evangelical, sacramental, and pentecostal spirituality can be integrated into a full-orbed Christian spirituality and ecclesiology. This kind of perspective is absolutely in tune with what the church in post-Christendom needs in these days when we are redefining our identity as God's people and need resources to help guide us in that important work.”
Theology
“I think the church in North America today is entering into ‘the age of the Holy Spirit.’ It is a time when we must learn to engage in, listen to and experience the life and ministry of the Spirit in new and concrete ways. This book provides important theological and practical guidance to the church in this new age. It is very much attuned to what God is doing in the church today.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Having a sense of belonging is at the core of human desire and is amplified in the church as it seeks to embody the truth that we belong in Christ. Paul Lucas explores how churches can evaluate people’s sense of belonging and how they can cultivate a ministry where people feel like they genuinely belong in their church. This book has implications for any ministry practitioner who wants to build a church where people feel like they truly belong.”
Theology
“While practice-led research is traditionally rooted in the scholarly study of the arts, Neil Ferguson is the pioneer for guiding theologians and ministry practitioners in engaging PLR in the service of practical theology. PLR and PT are natural companions, and Ferguson’s work makes clear how and why this is true. This book is a must-read for practical theologians who want to study the practice of ministry as a way to develop new knowledge for greater effectiveness in any ministry context.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Wayne Baxter has a gift for careful exposition of the biblical text mixed with a sincere passion for the church and Christian discipleship. This book beautifully brings these things together. It offers the reader an engaging combination of education and inspiration that will ultimately deepen your desire to draw near to God.”
The Visible Shape of Christ's Life in Us
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“This collection of reflections on the fruit of the Spirit is a provocative and delightful resource for the study of this portion of Scripture. It offers a deep engagement with the text while also breathing a spirit of devotion. This is a book that could be used as a personal devotional guide, a small group study guide, and even a resource for sermon preparation.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Most every pastor experiences some kind of trauma as a result of performing their ministerial duties as well as through various personal experiences. If the minister is embedded in a tradition that emphasizes a triumphalist theology, their ability to process trauma can be highly challenging. This book provides a response to that challenge and offers hope to those clergy who are looking for a constructive way to process the trauma that ministry and life sometimes inflict upon them.”
