Church Administration

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Here pastors will find both what they need to know about church administration and, even more importantly, why they need to know it for faithful and fruitful ministry.”

Finding God

Christian Living

“Laura Heikes has a gift for seeing God in the ordinary and in seemingly not religious moments of life. Read her book, and learn from her. Her stories are examples of how those least likely to be in church will experience God every day. Find ways for the marginal people in your church and community to reflect on her stories and tell their own stories. You will be surprised at what you hear.”

Foolish Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A renewed concern for imprisoned persons often marks times of religious revival. While Lee Schott’s fine book is about a church within a women’s prison, the subject is the church itself. It is a plea for congregations to move beyond an assembly of the most respectable to make room for those on the edges of respectability for whom Jesus had such an open heart.”

Making Spiritual Sense

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Christian leaders help other Christians see and understand everything in their lives in spiritual terms. "Scott Cormode is a pioneer in understanding church leadership with the theological disciplines of the faith. Making Spiritual Sense captures in a marvelous way the distinctive character of church leadership as the Christian leader is defined as theological interpreter.”

Professional Christian

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Being fully ourselves in public ministry is a challenge for religious leaders. Authenticity can feel elusive. Bereza offers not rules but a lens for navigating this terrain with theological and ethical grounding. She frees us from believing that we must act the same way in every situation to be truly ourselves.”

Sustaining Ministry

Theology

“Sondra Wheeler combines ethical, biblical, and theological expertise with thorough analytical skills to address dilemmas of clergy life. Drawing on the serving heritage of professions, she shows how clergy face special issues, particularly around power. She performs a careful diagnosis of perils and temptations clergy encounter while offering positive practices to sustain an ethical ministry.”
