Hope Leans Forward

“If you are ready to lean into 'the discomfort that foreshadows transformation,' then this book is for you. If you are not ready for that discomfort, this book is for you. If you don't know whether you're ready for the foreshadowing, this book is for you. If you think you leaned too far into transformation, this book is for you. If you think you need to lean backwards, this book is for you. If you are not sure about your body's posture toward courage, this book is for you. In each case, Valerie Brown shows us how transformation, with just a slight pivot, is within our reach.”

Pedagogy of the Ancestors

Discipleship & Christian Education

“In Pedagogy of the Ancestors, Patrick Reyes offers educators multiperspectival insights into humanity’s boundless opportunities to receive our ancestors’ sacred baton of wisdom in the intergenerational relay toward reclamation and restoration. Reyes reminds educators that we are historically situated to play key roles in evolution and that we would do well to know how to receive our ancestors’ inheritances, use them, and pass the wealth of knowledge and customs along with life-giving purpose. To teach in this way will breathe life and hope into the dusty old bones of the withered expert-ignorant classroom dynamic. Get ready to live the learning life anew.”

Read the Bible like a Mystic

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In these times of fear and exile, we are grasping for wisdom to survive. When our terror and alienation get projected onto the Bible, we sadly distort the wisdom we are desperately reaching for. Carl McColman, in this book, is offering us an invitation and instructions on how to pause and reorient our minds and hearts toward mystery and wholeness--mystic consciousness--so that we may truly discover the wisdom we seek in the Bible and experience the heaven on earth we can create.”

Spiritual Care First Aid

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Many people attend church dreaming about the redemptive care they will receive from Jesus one day in the future, while unconsciously diminishing their very own caring potential for others in the here and now. In this book, Cody Sanders offers an easy-to-follow blueprint for a scaffold of communal care by and for congregants that can reinvigorate the weariest church community and beyond.”
