Buried Talents

Women

“In Buried Talents, psychologist Susan Harris Howell shines a light on the subtle but potent forces of socialization that tend to prevent women from serving in church leadership. This work of illumination is a gift to the church, offering a way out of the confines of gender essentialism and into a world where women and men can truly flourish.”

Confronting Sacred Inequalities

World Religions

“It’s impossible to fix what you can’t see. This is why the church needs a book like Confronting Sacred Inequalities, if we are to become a place where women can thrive alongside men in full kingdom service. In this research-based book, Dr. Leanne Dzubinski prophetically exposits five different narratives that plague the church and relegate women to the margins. Read this book if you’re serious about helping women to thrive in the church.”

Confronting Sexism in the Church

Women

“Confronting Sexism in the Church functions like an MRI for the church, revealing in detail the church's historical struggle with sexism, which is a condition that limits the church from reaching its full potential. Thankfully, when we see a problem, we can work to change it, and author Heather Matthews gives us the gift of helping us to identify the malady. Further, she also prescribes a cure, offering an array of antisexist action steps at the interpersonal, leadership, organizational, and societal levels. Confronting Sexism in the Church is a must-read for every faith community that is serious about excising the problem of sexism and bringing full healing to God's church.”

Creating Cultures of Belonging

Work, Money & Leadership

“In Creating Cultures of Belonging, the authors begin by calling out the institutionalized misogyny that too often oppresses women in our organizational contexts. Then they articulate a comprehensive and compelling blueprint for organizational transformation—one that engages every aspect of organizational life, including theology, leadership, policy, culture, and more. If you long to see your organization become a place where both women and men can truly belong, this is the book for you.”

Growing Women in Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In the church, a systematic treatment of women’s leadership formation is long overdue. Thankfully Growing Women in Ministry has closed that gap. Offering a holistic, seven-aspect model for development, one that takes seriously both internal and external factors, this book provides a comprehensive road map for helping women become all that God wants them to be. I can’t wait to share copies of Growing Women in Ministry not only with the women in my networks but also with their male supervisors, mentors, and colleagues.”

Knowing and Being Known

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In her book Knowing and Being Known, longtime campus pastor Erin Moniz gives us two sacred gifts: a theology of intimacy borne out of a robust examination of the Scriptures and a research-based road map for how to form intimate relationships that are healthy and sustainable. With all of the confusion about what intimacy is and isn't, the church desperately needs a book like Knowing and Being Known. May we use it in both our disciple making and our evangelism!”

Redeemer

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“In Redeemer, author Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young lovingly invites participants to find themselves in the story of Ruth, exploring themes of loss, friendship, God's providence, and redemption. As someone whose own story profoundly intersects with Ruth's story, Dorina functions as a trusted guide, providing insights through thoughtful questions, compelling videos, artistic reflections, journaling prompts, and more. Redeemer is well worth 6 weeks of your Bible study and reflection!”

Ten Movements of the Jesus Way

Discipleship & Christian Education

“'The Jesus Way' sounds like an attractive road to walk, but too often we're missing a workable map. In Ten Movements of the Jesus Way, Graham Joseph Hill offers guidance that will help us pilgrims journey away from the sinful patterns that entangle us to a place of deeper and abundant discipleship. Every chapter offers an opportunity for transformation; please read this book slowly and reverently!”
