Discerning Inclusion

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“An honest, deeply reflective chronicling of the process taken by a courageous pastor and the church he serves. The book provides a ‘rough guide’ to all who embark on a journey of discerning the ways of God for a local church. Love of God, people, Scripture, allied to humility, teachableness, and openness featured throughout the process. What was discovered led to far more than a decision about an issue but rather a way of being a church community that learned a lot about itself and how to discern the mind of Christ and the heart of God together.”

Kingdom First

Christian Living

“Take a walk down memory lane in the company of an experienced leader whose considered reflections provide not only insights into the man himself but to the values that shaped his life and contributed to him having a remarkable, fruitful ministry. Accompany him and gain wisdom and encouragement from his life’s journey.”

Ministry in Conversation

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A fascinating journey revealing both understanding and insight into the life of a highly respected pastoral theologian and his breadth of interests. I’ve learned much about Paul from his friends’ honoring contributions and toured the beauty spots of art, music, and literature; appreciated wining, dining, and gardens; and gleaned wisdom from the environments of education, counselling, ecumenism, and theology—places, people, and passions close to Paul’s heart. Intellectually stimulating and interesting. A good read.”

Singleness and Marriage after Christendom

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“The book provides a very helpful way into charting the Scriptures, the early church, and what some key theologians have reflected on singleness and marriage. . . . It will provoke further thought, challenge inherited and prevailing attitudes on how we view sexual relationships, and raise questions as to what the church as community might entail. Drawing on the radical nature of Jesus, it provides a lifeline of hope to explore and provide richer resources on singleness, marriage, family life, and community, shaped by a deep biblical analysis. The book is a valuable resource, written by a gifted communicator, which will provide informed starting points for further discussion.”
