Ask Me for a Blessing (You Know You Need One)

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“What does blessing mean in the dirty, busy streets of a city? What does it mean for believers and nonbelievers, for the suffering and foolish and angry and afraid? In this beautifully real book, Adrian Dannhauser shows how the hands-on practice of public blessing invites everyone to see, to desire, and to become more.”

Be the Brave One

“Ann Kansfield's story is the story of faith in action--of change and challenge as she follows Jesus on the streets and in the communities of her complicated home: New York, the 'City of God.'”

Common Prayer

Preaching & Worship

“This gracefully edited collection is a window into the transformative experience of shared liturgy in all its particularity, difficulty, and beauty. May these honest reflections open the eyes of our faith.”

From Your Friend, Carey Dean

History & Biography

“Knopp’s account of her twenty-three-year friendship with a death-row inmate is a powerful argument for the abolition of the death penalty and against the cruelties of the prison system. It is also a deep exploration of the demands of friendship in the context of Christian faith and a meditation on the call to forgive.”

Hoping for More

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Deanna Thompson's honest and faithful book shows how healing happens in community, and how blessing is found amid doubt and pain. This is a book of grace.”

Stranger God

Christian Living

“In his new book, Richard Beck shows how opening ourselves to strangers lets us see more of God. A deceptively simple and deeply loving examination of the Little Way practices that can make us whole.”

The Asylum Seekers

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The Asylum Seekers is elegant, unsentimental, loving, and piercingly honest. It is a prayer--and almost a miracle. Not because prayer is magic, but because it is the planting ground for hope. For those who despair and those who rage, for all who thirst, Cristina Rathbone digs a furrow in the dirt of our shared suffering, and makes a space where we can abide together.”
