“A bittersweet cocktail of wisdom and absurdity that will charm you, entertain you, seduce you and, finally, instruct you! A Year of Biblical Womanhood is funny, droll, charming, and deadly serious, all in one set of covers.”
Answering the Contemplative Call
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“There is a sweetness—a candor—a gentleness to McColman's work that makes him the most desirable of guides into the holy places of the soul . . . This is a book to savor and then to treasure.”
Christian Living
“I have loved Bound since the day I first saw it in early manuscript form two years ago. Imaginative theologically, and charming as well as rigorous, Bound is the best example I have ever seen of riveting and holy fun. This is one book I can enthusiastically recommend to every Christian friend I have. Try it; you'll love it too.”
Christianity for the Rest of Us
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is Diana Butler Bass at her very best--a warm, candid, totally engaging scholar taking a look at main-line Christianity in this country and telling us with gusto why she likes what she sees. Bravo!”
Christian Living
“Theological autobiographies are rare, and intriguing ones are even rarer. Few of us have the candor to construct them, much less the skill to endow the result with grace. Christine Berghoef has all those things, however, and the result is this enormously appealing memoir of a questing Christian mind.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“If ever there were an embracing, joyful, health-giving collection of daily devotions and prayers, this one most surely is it. Offering beautiful exercises for the soul and consoling counsel for the mind, Dear Abba is a treasure to hold close to one's life day after day after lengthening day.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Faith Shaping Ministry is a totally accessible and profoundly engaging overview of what a traditional or 'inherited' church congregation can be, do, and become in these times of changing ecclesiology and maturing theology. Hoffman, whose professional life has spanned the last thirty years of tumultuous changes in American Christianity, is a seasoned and practical guide to the how and why of contemporary communal formation. He is also a very passionate and persuasive one.”
History & Biography
“In this poignant, elegant, humble memoir, Poplin gives us far more than Mother Teresa or even another Mother Teresa story. She gives us instead the Jesus and the Christianity that operated through Mother Teresa. Poplin's experience of finding Calcutta irrevocably changed her soul. It will change yours as well.”
Christian Living
“truth-telling, and there can be no doubt but that God’s Economy is a compelling book.”
Christian Living
“Sr. Joan Chittister never disappoints; but here she has exceeded even her own high standards. Happiness is a penetrating, insightful, wide-ranging study of its subject, and yet it is much more than that. It is pastoral. A thoughtful reader will be wiser for having read it, certainly, but also more complete and, I would wager, more at peace.”
Theology
“Quietly, deftly, brilliantly, Flood takes on the story of the Christian doctrine of atonement, turns that story on its end, and then lays out before us a beauty almost beyond theology. Read it for yourself and see.”
Theology
“Levison here gives us a brilliant line of argument that is lucidly and almost affectionately delivered — brilliant in that it scintillates with insight after insight and connection after connection, lucid in that Levison writes with the simplicity and directness of genuine authority, and affectionate in that he approaches both his content and us as his readers with the warmest regard. Beyond all that, 'An Agenda for the Future of Pneumatology,' which serves as the concluding section of Inspired, should be required reading for every thoughtful Christian today.”
Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me
History & Biography
“Simply the best memoir I have read in years. It is engaging, clever, heartbreaking, and God-drenched in all the right ways.”
Learning to Pray Through the Psalms
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“At times intimate, at times pastoral, but always focused, Sire here creates a solid study of the Psalter for use in Christian devotion, be it private or corporate.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Beautiful in its gentleness and humility, this book is a gift to Christians of all communions and denominations, for it deals with our beginnings and the originating, sacred rhythms from which we all come. Only Bobby Gross could have so gracefully opened the church's liturgical calendar to all who wish to see, and only he could have laid so rich a feast of devotion as this for those who yearn to enter.”
