Remorse

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In a time when many parish leaders, lay and ordained, avoid challenging issues for fear that discussion--honest discussion--will drive people away, there is welcome relief in reading Stephen Crippen's sustained reflection on remorse and joy. In a time when many in the churches want to hear nothing of personal failure and recovery, here we encounter not the scolding voice of the cleric, but the wisdom and love and honesty that evoke and gently provoke. Here we encounter the rare blend of candor and wit, and sustained theological reflection interwoven with biography. Oh, that there were more of this writing in the church today! Take up and read this book that speaks of nothing less than the resurrection of life.”

What Is Christianity?

Theology

“In a culture marked by increasing levels of biblical and religious illiteracy, Gail Ramshaw offers the thoughtful student a cogent, straightforward, and engaging introduction to the study of Christianity. What is Christianity? leads students into a clear-eyed examination of what binds and separates millions of Christians across the globe. The work of a distinguished author and gifted teacher, What is Christianity? bears the imprint of many years in the classroom with skeptical and inquisitive undergraduates—a gift to the thousands of us who teach university students week in and week out.”
