Atonement for a Sinless Society

Theology

“I was a huge fan of this book in version 1.0. But the 2.0 version? Wow! As a theological thought leader and insightful cultural exegete, Alan has given us a great update, integrating new material that makes this even more relevant to our current cultural and church landscape. Please get a copy and buy more for your leaders and pastoral colleagues; this conversation needs a wide hearing!”

On Fire Underwater

Christian Living

“If the title wasn’t enough, the book makes clear Michael is a metaphor magician navigating the waters of deconstruction with expansive insights and elegance. This is an important book for those in the searching zone. For all that gravitate toward story and lyric, this is a possible route to find their way back to center in Jesus.”

Soulful Spirituality

Christian Living

“Soulful Spirituality needs to be read, dialogued with, and then used to overhaul our weak and anemic engagement with the real world. In a culture full of escape-this-world spiritualities on the one hand and narcissistic spiritualities on the other, David Benner says, ‘absolutely not!’ and then loudly and powerfully links our spirituality to the exciting lifelong task of becoming more fully and deeply human. David’s identification of things like toxic spirituality will provide welcome hope to the growing number of people in ‘religious recovery’ who are on the spiritual and human journey but are simply worn out with the narrow approaches so common today. He has a deep commitment to us as embodied beings and as such helps us attend to an embodied spirituality. He gets at tough concepts like desire, longing, and restlessness, and few have dealt with the issue of ego, its role, and its limits as well as he does in this book. If you are ready to dig in, ready to really change and experience transformation, then by all means get this book. And then buy nine more copies to pass out to friends for a dialogue group!”
