Does God Always Get What God Wants?

Theology

“In this little gem of a book, Reddish brings the full weight of his rigorous scientific and theological mind to bear on questions of suffering and God in this world. Grounded in his experience of grief, having suffered the untimely death of his beloved wife, Anne, Reddish examines central doctrines of the faith to consider how they speak into the lives of real people living and dying in the here and now. He examines biblical sources, historical and contemporary theology, and especially the theology of the cross to explore questions of theodicy for Christians in today’s world. It is an engaging and thoughtful read, written from the heart of a lively and invigorated faith.”

Glassroom Learning

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Glassroom Learning is a must-read for theological educators and those serving in accrediting bodies for theological education. Jason Mills challenges the prevailing trends toward online education in training for ministry. While affirming its convenience and accessibility, he examines how online learning is affecting the formation of persons for pastoral ministry and offers much food for thought. A timely and wonderfully written volume!”

Jesus’ Life in Dying

Theology

“This is a wonderful volume! ‘Here we encounter Christ in community.’ This collection of sermons beautifully reflects the depth of Schleiermacher’s theological vision shared together in community. Through these sermons one glimpses the communal and dialogical shape of his doctrinal reflections. It is a must-read for all those drawn to Schleiermacher’s life and thought.”

The Hunger Winter

Fiction

“The Hunger Winter is a compelling tale of resilience and survival during Nazi-occupied Netherlands. Through the eyes of two sisters, the novel captures the strength of human connection, the courage to preserve truth, and the transformative power of perseverance amidst the darkest of times. A moving and unforgettable read.”

The Rule of Faith and Biblical Interpretation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Rob Fennell has done a masterful job exploring the historical uses of the Rule of Faith for biblical interpretation and how these shape possibilities for renewal of the church today . . . He is prophetic and practical in his invitation to the contemporary church to take up the Rule of Faith as a communal and spiritual practice for today. An excellent and richly textured read!”

Trauma-Informed Spiritual Care

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Trauma-Informed Spiritual Care is an insightful, readable, and practical text that provides deep wisdom through accessible prose. Danielle Tumminio Hansen has written a gem of a book, ideal for courses on spiritual care, for CPE reading lists, for chaplains, religious and lay leaders, and others who seek to expand their capacity for spiritual care. Her invitational narrative style and easeful integration of theory and practice offer examples and case studies, activities and diagrams to help readers understand the effects of trauma and how spiritual care can support the journey to healing and justice.”
