A Year of Biblical Womanhood

Women

“Because I first heard Rachel’s voice in reaction to public tomfoolery about women’s roles in the church and society, I half-expected A Year of Biblical Womanhood to be sort of . . . reactionary. After all, how could a liberated woman covering her head and bowing in reverence to her liberated husband be anything else? Yet with her signature wit, Rachel Held Evans’ A Year of Biblical Womanhood offers a disarming treatment—aka ‘fair and balanced’!—of biblical womanhood. Specifically, readers will be equipped to read the texts more faithfully and to discern what faithfulness looks like for women and men today. Modestly cloaked in starched apron garb, Rachel Held Evans serves a feast to thoughtful men and women who are hungry for insight.”

Embracing Your Freedom

Christian Living

“Embracing Your Freedom is the book for women that's needed to be written for a long time! What Susie's gotten exactly right is the divine coherence between the God who redeems the hearts of individuals and the One who liberates those who are bound by injustice. In fact, for God—and for Susie!—these two are inextricably linked. In this important book, Susie invites women into life that really is life by naming them, naming us, as agents made to extend God's justice to those who are bound. Women today are hungry for this kind of holy congruity. Thank you, Susie!”

Christian Living

“Annie Vocature Bullock's honest, gritty storytelling is a gift to be savored! In this beautiful tapestry of narrative, theology and culture, Bullock's insights are woven into a volume that inspires, challenges and transforms.”

Small Talk

Christian Living

“One reason, among many, that Amy Julia Becker is a great writer is that she pays attention. Her reflections in Small Talk will inspire you to pay attention to the small wise voices in your world as well.”

The Loneliness Epidemic

Christian Living

“As a single woman and a recent empty nester, I was eager to understand more about feelings of loneliness that I've been slow to acknowledge. The thorough research and insights Mettes offers, as well as a solid theological foundation, helped me to wrap my mind around the roots and remedies for the loneliness that is rampant in our culture. I highly recommend this book both for those who feel the sting of loneliness and for the ones who love us.”

The Year without a Purchase

Christian Living

“This book—playful, thoughtful, substantial—is a must-read for North American Christians who are purposing to pattern their lives after the person of Jesus. It provides an honest glimpse into one family’s experiment in living more simply and charts a path for the rest of us as we attempt to live faithfully in the world today.”

Thin Places

History & Biography

“Women today are hungry for words that narrate life as it really is. We’re dying to know we’re not alone. In Thin Places, Mary DeMuth tells the truth about loss, pain, sin, and redemption. Thin Places sets the table for readers to see, hear, and taste God’s unfailing nearness. Enjoy the feast.”

DeConto's creative telling illumines a deeply moving passage from the shadows of religion into light and life.”
