“Angels sing and dance in the pages of this book, awaking readers to God’s presence in the ordinary, tender, and tragic life in which we and others dwell. The stories, dotted with Charles Schuster’s earthy humor, shine light on pathos and meaning. They invite us as readers to watch for angels and God nods in the hurried and often painful moments of our own lives and the lives of those who touch us.”
Black and White Styles of Youth Ministry
Children & Youth
“"Bill Myers has offered a much needed picture of black and white styles of youth ministry. His own style of writing is stunning. The book is so rich in historical reflection and descriptive detail that one cannot avoid being confronted with urgent issues of race, culture, and social history, all vitally important in shaping youth ministry.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The artistry of Formation for Life is in the authentic representation of human life stories in relation to probing theories of formation and just peacemaking. . . . The book moves the theoretical discourse forward with psychological, sociological, and theological constructs. Together the authors illumine the dynamics of formation and highlight the motivating power of religion to shape a global community of just peace.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Thanks to Ashley Theuring for her liberating theology of Fragile Resurrection. Thanks especially for her close listening to women who have experienced years of domestic violence and found hope in Chicago’s House of Peace. These women shape Theuring’s work, and she likens them to the women who gathered around Jesus at the cross and empty tomb. She draws out a vision of liberation that is true to the women’s lives, in dialogue with theologies of liberation and hope. Rich concepts of fragile resurrection, hope built in community, and practices of resistance in daily lives are the result. I heartily recommend this book for survivors, advocates, and allies who accompany survivors, theologians, and church leaders.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“"Lisa Hess introduces her book with three significant questions: how do we learn, do theology, and build a unified community of diverse peoples through music? These questions are intriguing and urgent in a world where the process of knowing and the work of theology both demand full participation of all our human senses. Hess dives deeply into these questions, and she surfaces with a vibrant picture of music as a living, embodied, relational set of practices that simultaneously express, question, and illumine theology. Her presentation is richly textured and integrative, drawing deeply on the fields of history, ethnomusicology, education, music, spirituality, and aesthetics. What lingers after reading Hess's book is a bounty of knowledge composed into the performative mode of music, beckoning readers back into the pages to sing and play with the harmonies until we truly understand the new possibilities that she presents.”
Christian Living
“This book is hard to put down; it holds readers with vivid stories of human reality and enduring theological questions. Sharing his own struggles and those of countless others, Feldmeir recognizes the challenges in religious believing and traveling with God, and offers rich insights in theology, philosophy, and literature.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Alive with stories, Lived Vocation offers a rare glimpse into the beautifully complex lives of people in diverse forms of work. The stories are rich in detail and practical wisdom, based on interviews with farmers, teachers, merchants, health care givers, hairdressers, homemakers, and more. Snyder uncovers patterns and differences in human understandings and practices of work, and thus expands on Christian theologies of vocation. The book is a joy to read, and it will, as Snyder promises, change you.”
Religious Diversity and University Chaplaincy
World Religions
“Drawing upon the wisdom of chaplains, Gregory McGonigle opens windows into the changing patterns of religious life in colleges and universities. The need for such a book, especially one focused on traditions beyond Judaism and Christianity, has grown exponentially in recent years as the student population diversifies, spiritual hungers grow, and the need for multireligious understanding spreads into every aspect of public life. This book is a must-read for university chaplains.”
Theology
“Sense of the Possible sparks imagination with its historical narrative and clear analytic flow, painting a vast landscape of imagination in diverse theories, contexts, and Christian practices. The book offers an excellent introduction to the philosophy of imagination, inviting readers to engage with a wide range of thinkers and their values and critical conversations. Whether you are seeking an introduction, overview, or inspiration for imagination, this book will serve you very well.”
Evangelism & Missions
“This remarkable collection honors and extends Dana Robert’s work on friendships in world Christianity—friendships that embrace diversity and transform societies. The authors present luminous narratives based in detailed research and vivifying the many faces of friendship. They reveal hidden histories as well as surprising transformations in widely different contexts, times of conflict and crisis, interfaith communities, culturally conflicted contexts, the transnational deaf community, and so much more. This book will inspire and transform you.”
