Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“With insight, brilliance, and conviction, Austin shows us how to match what the Bible, the evidence, and Christian discernment say about God and guns in America with corresponding actions we can undertake to reduce the dangers and suffering that so often attend them.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Michelle Warren knows of what she writes. This book is rich in Bible-based theology, but even richer in real-life, concrete practice based in Michelle's lived experience. Her humility and self-awareness show in her admission she doesn't know it all and still has much to learn about injustice. Still, she doesn't use ignorance to excuse inaction. Instead, Michelle takes what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called the risky venture of responsible action, concerned more for the well-being of those who suffer in the margins than for her doing that action perfectly. You won't know everything after reading Join the Resistance, but you will know enough to step out in faith and help others pursue God's justice while deepening your understanding of it. This book is a gift to all who need justice and those who desire to help them find it.”
Preaching & Worship
“Perhaps the closest thing we have to a pastoral epistle in our time is a sermon manuscript—and the closest thing to a modern apostle is a preacher whose ministry extends beyond the local congregation. In this collection of inspiring and instructive sermons delivered in many places over a decades-long global ministry, the venerable Dr. Ronald Sider becomes a kind of contemporary St. Paul. This volume will be a precious resource for a long time to come.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Christians believe in the literal embodiment of truth, Jesus Christ. We also confess the One who is Truth to be the creator and sustainer of all things, including the human faculty of reason. Editors Michael Austin and Gregory Bock have assembled an outstanding collection of essayists who help us use these epistemological anchors and others to recenter our faith, worldview, and interpretation of reality. During a time of competing fantasies and deceptive and destructive conspiracy theories that play on our hearts and minds, this book is a gift to the people of God. Individuals, churches, schools, and denominational bodies will find QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross an effective tool to protect themselves and their communities from falling prey to a real and present danger while deepening their relationship to what is ultimately and consummately true and good.”

“A passionate, insightful, and skilled grassroots strategist, Robb Ryerse has given a gift to all politically conscious Americans. In Running for Our Lives, Robb therapeutically gives words to what so many of us felt deeply and painfully about the 2016 presidential election. This is not just a polemic, though; it’s also a how-to manual when it comes to the existential question, What can we do? If you’ve been vexed by the turn in religious voting in America, you’ll be relieved and encouraged after reading this book. We are not in a hopeless place—and Robb Ryerse doesn’t just say it, but he proves it to us by what he and others have already done to steer us all on a better path toward a brighter tomorrow.”
Christian Living
“Keith Fournier has given a great gift to the whole body of Christ by showing us that Mary’s obedience and spirituality are models for our own relationships with Jesus. Of all the personalities in the story of the Gospel, few figures are as large as Mary. Sadly, we Protestant Evangelicals have virtually ignored her. Yet, Mary was the first to ‘accept Jesus’ when she said yes to the angel, and she remained closer to our Lord than any person on earth. This is an excellent, tender and beautifully written study of the most important mother—some might say the most important Christian—who ever lived.”
Rev.
The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The support of American evangelicals for the presidency of Donald Trump will likely be recorded as one of the most consequential acts of any religious group in world history. It cannot be overrated. That is why this carefully compiled collection of essays is so timely and important. Whether you agree with their opinions or not, Ron Sider, his fellow editors, and their contributors treat this subject with the seriousness it deserves. If Trump supporters believe it is worth risking the very reputation of the gospel to re-elect their candidate, they should at least explore what these dissenting voices have to say. If Trump detractors believe evangelical support for his presidency is, indeed, dangerous, this book will equip them to defend their positions and persuade others to join them in opposition. Regardless of where one stands on Christians and Donald Trump, this compilation explains significant political differences within evangelicalism and sets out reasons why evangelicals across the theological and social spectrums will continue to play a critically important role in the political life of our nation, for good or for bad. Evangelicals and those who want to understand them better cannot afford to ignore this book!”
