A Hope-Filled Journey Under His Sky
History & Biography
“Allder's deeply human and faithful account of his beautiful daughter's missionary life, dying, and death is very aptly named. Allder's beautiful telling of BJ's story of faith, hope, and love, together with his profound theological reflection on meeting God in pain and grief, will surely touch his readers at the deepest levels of their humanity and life of faith.”
Christian Living
“In Awakening Desire, Irene Alexander weaves a rich tapestry, made up of biblical imagery, mystical theology, Jungian psychology, Merton’s spiritual theology, and images used by novelists. Irene’s unique contribution is the use of male thinkers and novelists to speak directly to men (and also to women, of course). She is absolutely right: men have too often given intellectual assent to the feminine in God without personally embracing it. Her wonderful book offers an important corrective.”
Philosophy
“Levinas is a complex and elusive writer. Veling rightly tells his readers that he can only supply one reading. But what a reading it is! Veling offers a fresh and penetrating take on Levinas's central theme. Both those new to Levinasian ethics and more experienced readers will benefit enormously from Veling's profound and poetic interpretation.”
Preaching & Worship
“This is what we have been waiting for. Finally, a liturgical theologian has emerged with the boldness and creativity to produce a major hermeneutic work on the Lectionary. From Page to Proclamation offers a brilliant adaptation of Gadamerian concepts that is thoroughly theological and eminently practical.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In this important new book on formation for ministry, Paul Goodliff gets it exactly right in taking a whole-of-life approach. . . . All the knowledge and skill in the world is not much use if the pastor is not a good or virtuous person. Goodliff has that rare ability to connect with profound theological and philosophical thinking in a way that is both accessible and engaging. . . .”
Spiritual Formation for the Global Church
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“What a rich offering this is! The book is a beautiful tapestry woven from diverse cultural and theological threads. The weavers bring important and fresh insights from the fields of biblical studies, theology, and liturgy. What ties the contributions together is a shared focus on the essence of spiritual formation: being conformed to Christ under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit. I highly recommend this valuable resource.”
Stories of Therapy, Stories of Faith
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Stories of Therapy, Stories of Faith is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in integrative counseling practice. The Laidlaw group weaves together various practice, ethical, and theological threads to produce a beautiful therapeutic tapestry. Without exception, the thinking is sophisticated and profound, and at the same time, accessible and grounded.”
Children & Youth
“"Capps takes us right to the heart of the religious journey of the adolescent male--a journey marked by stumbling, struggling, straggling, straddling, and being a stranger. He masterfully pulls together a number of strands to tell his story of striking out that is at once deeply perceptive, profoundly human, and richly spiritual . . . This is a simply brilliant exposition of the religious journey of teenage boys.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“The central aim of this important book is to provide guidance on how to initiate and build friendships with both an individual with an intellectual impairment and their family. Weaving together interview data, insights from biology and philosophy, and Wesleyan perspectives on the imago Dei in a sophisticated and creative way, Good and McEwan lead the reader into a practical exploration of what people with an intellectual disability and their families most need from others.”
