God, Gender, and Family Trauma

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this crucial book, Cory Driver explores the traumatic experiences of biblical individuals and families with compassion, careful attention, and astute insight that offer wisdom and hope for those who have had their own traumatic experiences and those who accompany and care for them. Along the way, Driver brings the ancient and ever-new Jewish practice of midrash into living engagement with biblical scholarship and lived human experience to bring biblical stories and their characters to life in new, oft-troubling, and graciously redemptive ways.”

How Change Comes to Your Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Drawing on more than four decades of work with congregations, denominations, and other expressions of the church across the world, Pat Keifert and Wes Granberg-Michaelson have provided a profoundly helpful handbook for church leaders of all sorts and settings. This book is focused on discernment over strategic plans, reaches beyond programs and techniques to address the deep culture of communities, is rooted in communal and public spiritual practices, and is eminently practical. It really ought to be in the hands of every leader who knows that the transformation of the church is a life-or-death matter but isn’t quite sure how to open the communities they serve to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.”

Whatever wilderness you wander, with this guidebook in your hands the compassionate companions and wise guides of Scripture, the Spirit, and the community of faith across time and space will walk with you.”
