Creation and Hope

Science & Faith

“Creation and Hope is like a tapestry that calls for artistic appreciation as it pulls together threads that are often discrepant. Theological and scientific, Trinitarian and Christocentric, anthropological and ecological, phenomenological and biblical, woven together with vibrancy and color creating a pattern that eliminates fragmentation, disintegration, and disconnectedness. And the strand that brings it all together is a substantive hope, not one that ignores reality with superficial optimism but one that invites rigorous action.”

Living in Tension, 2 Volume Set

Christian Living

“Webster presents a trajectory of cultural understanding and engagement that has characterized his own life and ministry. He invites the people of God to see ministry rooted in Christ and in the fullness of the gospel, with an emphasis on passion not profession, spirituality not scholarship, and contemplation not consumerism.”

Love Giving Well

Work, Money & Leadership

“What a strange and wonderful combination of experience and expertise. Mark Petersen, former missionary in the developing world with a spiritual care and leadership focus, and son of entrepreneurial parents with a passion for philanthropy, ends up as the director of the private family foundation that gives away multi-millions for social good, on two separate occasions walks The Camino across Spain, and then births a book that blends it all together with poignant observations, winsome stories, and an intoxicating passion. In a culture that is confused about whether to follow heroes or succumb to the democratization of everything, this book offers the image of the faith-filled pilgrim plodding through the bumpy world of philanthropy with an incisive clarity. A gift.”

Open Wide the Gates

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“When nineteenth-century Canon William Vanstone indicated that ‘the church is like a swimming pool: all the noise comes from the shallow end,’ he inadvertently described the polarized nature of contemporary church culture where both the ‘left’ and the ‘right’ often avoid in-depth engagement. Brian Cunnington, in contrast, offers wise and substantive biblical, theological, philosophical, and pastoral reflection, with a humble invitation to join him in the deep end.”

Queer Prophets

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“If you would prefer to avoid linking lived experience with the biblical narrative, this book will be irritating. It seeks to weave together personal story with God’s story. If you prefer strident arguments, this book will be frustrating. It is invitational, and welcoming. If you like books that provide linear and definitive conclusions on controversial matters, this book will be disorienting. It is humble and winsome. If your perspective on the LGBT community is issue-, topic-, and debate-oriented, this book will be disappointing. It is filled with faces, names, and stories. Put your irritation, frustration, disorientation, and disappointment on hold for a short time and listen to this master storyteller.”

The Wise Leader

Work, Money & Leadership

“How many people experience the richness of a multicultural family; have expertise in mathematics, complete a PhD in computer science and become a technology entrepreneur; show facility in art, literature, biblical studies, and theology; demonstrate leadership competence in church, marketplace, and academy; and craft a fine book on leadership that not only provides a multi-disciplinary lens on wisdom but puts into print principles and practices that have been embodied masterfully in their own life? One.”
