Climate Justice, Climate Hope

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“What I most appreciate about this book is the foundational partnership between Michael Malcom and abby mohaupt that led to its creation. This book is dialogical--a sharing of experience and perspective between two thoughtful people who come from different places but have arrived at the same conclusion. Climate change as we experience it in our moment of geologic time can reasonably be described as the result of sin, and that sin, at its core, can be described as remarkable acts of selfishness. Further, although the Christian gospel contains all the seeds of liberation necessary to lead us away from our sin and into redemption, the Christian tradition in our theological time is too often bought and sold by massive corporate interests whose primary concern is financial gain, not community wholeness. This is a book designed to compel us to action, and it should be read in community, for we all we need to find strength in one another for that work.”

Gundamentalism and Where It Is Taking America

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As always, Jim Atwood does his homework. The book is well-researched and full of stories and statistics that make for compelling reading. His most powerful contribution is when he names and calls out the Gundamentalists (a term I find equally disturbing and descriptive) and lays out a prescription on how we can take them on. Read the book; share it with friends at church or at work; then form a small group to stand up, take action, and be counted.”

Pedagogy of the Oppressor

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a story that might not have been told if it weren’t for Jerry’s consistent effort over many years. Read this book if you care about what it means for North Americans (especially dominant-culture Christians) to be transformed into genuine allies in the movements led by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and those who are not beneficiaries of the empire.”

The Man with Six Typewriters

Christian Living

“Steve is a gifted storyteller and a deep thinker who makes meaning out of everyday encounters with the people he meets. Most of us know people just like the ones in these stories, but we miss the meaning. Steve's stories are powerful to me because they teach me to seek the wisdom that I miss far too often in my rush to get to my next commitment.”
