Beauty Is a Basic Service

Arts & Literature

“Maria Fee's Beauty Is a Basic Service confirms Theaster Gates as one of the most significant artists of his generation, and this book, diligently and sensitively written, is a landmark achievement for our "art+faith" conversation. Fee is a first-rate artist who has served in the long and daunting journey of serving the church and, in her long-suffering, has nurtured her "theology of hospitality" generatively, invoking the new creation.”

Beauty Is Your Destiny

Christian Living

“In a skeptical world of scarcity that doubts the necessity and value of biblical beauty, Philip Ryken’s work shines to illuminate ‘the substance of things hoped for’ and to help us ponder the extravagance of God. As an artist, I am grateful for this book, which affirms my path and calling to create the beautiful.”

Charis in the World of Wonders

Fiction

“Charis is a prismatic grace journey that awakens our dulled senses and ignites our adventurous hearts. A seventeenth-century girl pilgrim, with dark shadows of Salem foreboding over her, begins a refractive journey as a faithful exile toward a golden sea.”

Chasing Francis

Fiction

“faith, Ian Cron paves for us a path of grace, humility, and ultimate joy, even through our “ground zero” darkness. This is a life-changing work. I now find myself “chasing Francis” in my life as well as in my art.”

Doorway to Artistry

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

How to Survive the Apocalypse

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In our culture dominated by fear and anxiety, I am grateful for the wisdom of teachers like Robert Joustra and Alissa Wilkinson in How to Survive the Apocalypse. From Mel Brooks to Game of Thrones, from the movie Her to the board game Settlers of Catan, this book is full of deft and engaged analysis, helping all of us to move deeper into our 'secular age' with conviction and faith.”

Imagining Our Neighbors as Ourselves

Arts & Literature

“From Douglas Coupland to C. S. Lewis, from Flannery O'Connor to Toni Morrison, McCampbell paints a landscape of mystery, hope, and splendor for our imagination to be fed and to be nurtured toward the New Creation.”

Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me

History & Biography

“Ian Morgan Cron’s daring writing lays bare the human journey with grace and wit. His confessional words combat despair and illuminate the path toward forgiveness and redemption we are all searching for.”

Land of My Sojourn

Christian Living

“In this riveting account of the rise and fall of a church full of artists in Louisville, Kentucky, Mike Cosper, as their sojourner founding pastor, chronicles the longings of 'the particular lives of particular people' to reveal the deep rifts ofculture-wars dysfunction in the evangelical communities of our times. Mike's honest introspection through this revelatory writing is a healing balm for our own journeys of exile, to remind us that even in such painful experiences of brokenness of faith communities there is yet grace present. Like Elijah under a broom tree, we are led out of our utter despair and debilitation into a place of sustenance and hope, to look up and see that we are not alone.”

Listening Hands

Work, Money & Leadership

“Martin Schleske’s writing speaks into the gap between what we know to be ideal and the reality we face every day.”

Luke: The Gospel of Amazement

“In honoring his mentor William Lane, Michael Card illumines a forgotten path of biblical imagination by a thorough examination of the book of Luke. I have been using this book as a meditation in my studio to live and create as an artist of the twenty-first century; I found every page to be eye-opening. This book is a feast for truth seekers and creators. Michael Card invites all of us to a magnificent journey of hesed (grace and mercy). This humble offering is a sweet aroma and an invaluable contribution to all those who desire to know the Bible and live creatively.”

Makers by Nature

Arts & Literature

“Bruce Herman has given us, and future generations of makers, an invaluable gift. Years of wisdom and advice given to countless young artists and those who care for culture have been compressed into this book. I am indebted to Bruce for what these letters teach me as an artist.”

Mere Science and Christian Faith

Science & Faith

“Greg Cootsona has been consistently at the vanguard of interconnections between science, faith, and the arts. Now with Mere Science and Christian Faith, he again proves to be a go-to resource for how science and faith together can offer generative solutions.”

Opportunity Leadership

Work, Money & Leadership

“Leadership is an art form that requires—especially in recent times full of disruptions—imagination, risk-taking, and intuition, to be guided toward enduring fruitfulness. Dr. Roger Parrott's leadership vision has helped me to steward my giftings as an artist and a leader. Now we are fortunate to have his wisdom written on these pages as a guide to many perplexed by the complexity and fluidity of our times. This book about effective leadership in education and in business now resonates with an artist's journey toward Making.”

Redeeming Transcendence in the Arts

Arts & Literature

“Jeremy Begbie has consistently been an essential guide for me as an artist who thinks theologically. Redeeming Transcendence in the Arts finds Jeremy at his best—full of theological wisdom and aspiration, with abundant artistic inspiration. A stellar guidebook for our complex journey of art, faith, and theology.”

Reimagining Apologetics

Apologetics

“One of the brightest scholars I know, Justin Bailey, applies sanctified imagination to theology and culture in Reimaging Apologetics. It is a journey of hope into the new creation, an invaluable map for our church communities to live out the gospel, and a call to care for our culture.”

Roots and Rhythm

History & Biography

“An historic trailblazer who truly cared and created for our culture, Charlie Peacock has encouraged me to persevere and seek the highest realms of my art, and still (somehow) dare to love Jesus and his Broken body—the church. I am grateful for Roots & Rhythm to reintroduce his work to the next generation, and to the music communities at large.”

Testimony

History & Biography

“An illuminating work that shines light into the fissures of spiritual abuses in the church and that documents Jon Ward’s journey as a Christian to move forward and find a better way. This honest exposé allows healing in us, and his journalistic insights bring a generative path toward the new.”

The Art of New Creation

Arts & Literature

“Artists may be expected to speak of the new to attempt to create something new into the world. But what is truly new and necessary is for theology to dare to open the mystery of the New. In this collection of essays and conversations, we see a glimpse into a church in which such a possibility of the New is fully manifest. We see poets like Micheal O'Siadhail and artists like Lanecia A. Rouse Tinsley and Steve Prince invited to a journey of inquiry with pioneering theologians Jeremy Begbie and N. T. Wright leading the way. I am grateful for this diverse estuary of thoughts, which leads to Making.”

The Broken Leaf

Arts & Literature

“Roger Lowther is a cultural missionary to open up Japan as a treasure trove of God’s presence in wider cultures for all to learn from. This Juilliard-trained organist turns out to be quite an able cultural ambassador to unlock Japan’s hidden treasures toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission.”
