Blood Cries Out

Theology

“A. J. Swoboda is a singular new voice urging evangelicals to follow the call to care for God's creation. In Blood Cries Out, he shines a light on the beginnings of Earth Day and the pentecostal roots of John McConnell Jr.'s drive to establish this holiday. With his signature wisdom and accessibility, Swoboda has crafted another essential volume. Highly recommended!”

Creation Groans On

Arts & Literature

“The depth of the author’s love for God’s creation and the call to be good stewards come through loud and clear! I love art, and particularly enjoyed his photographs.”

Gen Men

Men

“’A good man is hard to find,’ as the saying goes. Why? Because good men don’t just happen. Good men are the products of grace, truth, and discipleship from mentors like author Eric Schansberg. Here, Schansberg takes us to the garden in Eden to find out how things got so far off track. He then journeys through the biblical, modern, and postmodern world in search of the elusive narrow path between toxic and apathetic masculinity. All those who are responsible for raising, educating, and guiding the next generation should count the subjects discussed in Gen Men as indispensable.”

God's Economy

Christian Living

“Through an examination of money-changing activities ranging from panhandlers to war, God’s Economy challenges the reader to confront Christ’s “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” A must read for individuals and groups looking to invest time wisely.”

Healing What's Hidden

Christian Living

“Healing What’s Hidden offers practical tools to reboot and recover from trauma, neglect, abandonment, and rejection. Jesus made no distinction between healing physical and emotional illnesses. As followers of Christ, we are called to do likewise. Read it. Live it. Then give a copy to someone you love. I recommend this book without hesitation!”

Inhabiting Eden

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“We have all strayed far from the Garden, resulting in a world where there are no elms on Elm Street and no chestnuts on Chestnut Lane. But God is doing a new thing, stirring the call to care for creation in the hearts of people. Books like Inhabiting Eden give voice to this important movement, urging readers to live the life our creator God intended from the beginning. Highly recommended!”

Planted

Science & Faith

“Leah Kostamo's elegant memoir shares the story of A Rocha, an organization that lives out the principles of Christian stewardship and community. With humility, grace, and candor, Leah takes her readers along the creation-care journey, sharing how many small acts can and do make a difference. Most inspiring of all, Leah and her husband, Markku, provide a living example of being the change they wish to see in the world.”

Stewards of Eden

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Creation is groaning like a woman in travail, and we are called to be midwives, delivering God's creation to future generations in as good or better shape than we received it. Sandy Richter is a gifted biblical scholar and teacher, the right messenger with the right message at the right time.”

The Dusty Ones

Christian Living

“In The Dusty Ones, pastor and seminary professor A. J. Swoboda wrestles with the paradox of faith: on the road toward perfection in Christ, we can only move forward by acknowledging how far we have to go. This book is a must read for anyone concerned by how far our personal and cultural wanderings have separated us from God. Kudos to Swoboda for addressing a difficult issue with honesty and grace.”

The Practice of Remembering

Christian Living

“If you've ever wondered where wonderment comes from, thought about where thoughts are born, or wished you could forget a painful memory, then Casey Tygrett's The Practice of Remembering is a must-read. It is not a how to but a how come book. How is it that we can remember the color of socks we were wearing in an accident a decade ago, yet we can't remember what we had for lunch last hour? How do all these memories we carry with us relate to the life Christ would have us live? Tygrett has some thoughts on these subjects. The Practice of Remembering is a good read for anyone who thinks.”
