Editing Jesus

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With Editing Jesus, Rick Lawrence shines a surgeon's light on the cancer eating away the heart of American Christianity. Consistent with the style of Jesus, Rick turns over our tables, willing to upend all our secondary allegiances. In an age when it has become commonplace to co-opt the gospel in service of far lesser causes—some causes wildly antithetical to the character, message, and work of Jesus—this is a wake-up call we desperately need.”

Eyes of the Heart

Science & Faith

“This brilliantly accessible book gives the church a terrific tool for forming a faith that is expanded and deepened rather than undermined by scientific pursuits.”

Saying Is Believing

Children & Youth

“When it comes to helping young people develop their own spiritual identities, few things are as important as helping them discover an authentic vocabulary for their faith. With our focus on missions and programs, helping youth articulate their faith often gets lost in the shuffle. But Amanda Drury teaches us how—and brilliantly. It won't take more than a few chapters to reveal that Mandy is one of the most profound, accessible, original voices ever to speak into the conversation about youthministry.”

The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Regina Cates invites God’s people to see the heartbreak of those on the margins, those too often treated as ‘less than’ by the very people who claim allegiance to the God of love. Though deeply wounded by the church, Cates refuses to give up on Jesus, the One who wouldn’t give up on her. Throughout her book, Jesus is the unparalleled touchstone for life, faith, relationships, justice. Though you may not agree with all her conclusions, Cates’s questions hold the potential to draw the church into deeper compassion, faithfulness, and love.”
