Atonement for a Sinless Society

Theology

“By viewing the atonement through the lens of isolating shame, Alan Mann frees that important understanding of God's reconciling work from the single, judicatory interpretation that tends to dominate Western Christian thinking. Mann shows how the Eucharist expresses the reconciliation of the self with God and others, and offers a fresh way for people to engage in the richness of the atoning work of Jesus Christ.”

Sorting through Worldviews

Apologetics

“Kline’s abilities to listen deeply, process thoroughly, and respond lovingly to those struggling with questions about faith are gifts to the church. . . . Sorting through Worldviews . . . offers the possibility that followers of Jesus need not fear challenges to our faith but instead can engage with others with the confidence that God is at work even before our conversations begin.”

The Bartender's Assistant

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“My friend Tony Blair has taken my modest enterprise and created this wonderful study guide to help leaders and churches open up conversations about both the inward and outward life of the church. He has taken the jumbled furniture of my fictional house and offered a framework for a sense of order-not in the way that confines, but in the creative, intelligent way that he has for preparing things for movement and action. I'm grateful for his thoughtful work that has resulted in this study guide.”

The Praying Church

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Jesus’ disciples were wise to ask him to teach them to pray. Likewise, we are wise to pay attention to those who desire to guide us in the way of prayer. Pastor Ed Salas is one of those guides. The Praying Church should serve as a training manual for those who seek to learn how to participate in the ongoing, redemptive, healing conversation that is prayer. Churches who wish to take prayer ministry seriously must put this book on their required reading list!”
