“My” Jesus

Preaching & Worship

“This remarkable collection of newly translated sermons comes from another time and place-Protestant France of two generations ago. Reading good sermons from outside one's context tends to jostle all the current assumptions how familiar Bible texts should be understood and preached. In sermon after sermon, Louis Simon takes the familiar, turns it on its head, and leaves the reader nodding and whispering, 'Just so, just so.'”

A Faithful Farewell

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Marilyn McEntyre's remarkable meditations on terminal illness manage to be both refreshingly frank and deeply faithful. She knows whereof she speaks, accurately identifying the whole gamut of emotions and experiences that people encounter as they face a death they know is approaching. Startlingly real and profound in hope, this book is a gift to the terminally ill and pastors who would minister to them — and to all of us born to die.”

Learning to Dream Again

Christian Living

“How refreshing! Sam Wells offers intelligent and literary writing on Christian faith that is deeply rooted in Scripture and in his own faith and personal experience. He carries his readers far and wide into matters ranging from the routine challenges of daily life to those as edgy and current as the 'new atheism' and the threat of terrorism.”

Postils for Preaching

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Rollefson's 'postils' for lectionary texts occupy the little-trod ground between the academic world of biblical commentaries and real world of sermons. As such connective tissue, they provide an invaluable resource for preachers and a welcome devotional guide for any student of scripture.”

The Long Road Home and Other Short Stories from the Silences in the Gospel of Mark

Fiction

“Two extraordinary talents intersect in the pages of this unique volume--that of an insightful biblical scholar and that of a consummate storyteller. Jim Lowry's narrative imagination wanders in the same territory as Garrison Keillor and Fred Craddock to fill in the pregnant gaps in the Second Gospel with tales faithful to Mark and as down-to-earth as Great Falls, South Carolina.”
