Christian Compassion

History & Biography

“In a world that is prone to either romanticism (sentimentality) or rationality (cold calculus), Lynn's Christian Compassion reminds us of the profound theological contributions of compassion throughout Christian history. The virtue of Christian compassion, 'to suffer with' the poor and with the Crucified Christ, purifies our faith to become witnesses of the gospel.”

The Centered Life

Christian Living

“Through richly described stories and theological insight, Jack Fortin provides for us a compelling and accessible case for a centered life — a life not just of being in 'balance,' but a life that begins to see the profound richness of our faith in the concrete particulars of our work, home, congregation, and community.”

Why Business Matters to God

Work, Money & Leadership

“In a crisp and clear fashion, Jeff Van Duzer gives us a theologically grounded and practically embodied understanding of a Christian view of business. He provides a compelling interdisciplinary synthesis that engages a comprehensive Christian theology with the complexities of running a business. It is a book which theologians and pastors will find useful as they seek to show the implications of faith. It is also a book which business leaders will find helpful as they seek to deepen and mature their work as a vocation. Through Scripture reflections, analogies, cases and stories, Van Duzer weaves a theological narrative that concretely includes business both in terms of the good that it does and the evil that it inflicts. The book helps us to see things whole and deeply in a world of business that can too easily see things partly and superficially.”
