Accounting and Money for Ministerial Leadership

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As a seminary leader who received negligible training in accounting, this book is a valuable resource to me personally as I seek to engage in transformative leadership. I will assign this book in my courses for seminary students, recommend it to colleagues in pastoral ministry, and use it for my own continued leadership growth.”

Good Faith

Philosophy

“In this season of cultural fragmentation, the choice to live a life of faith might seem divisive. Roger Adams’s Good Faith not only provides a different perspective on the nature of choice in the life of faith, but actual criteria through which a person could query those choices. This book will be of great use to thoughtful people who wonder what role religion might play in their inner lives, their moral decision-making, and their participation in this complicated yet amazing world.”

The Call of the Mourning Dove

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“A person could make the argument that a prayer in a language we cannot understand is not one we can pray. But another could retort just as easily, ‘What does it mean to understand a prayer?’ In her book, Stephanie Rutt explores how prayers in an unfamiliar language can transport us, through their sacred sound, to another time, place, and posture toward God.”

We Have Plenty

Theology

“Wealth and the Gospel do not mix. Wealth is oil; the Gospel is water. The two can coexist, even peacefully, but they can never become one. Lorena M. Parrish’s treatment of this conundrum, especially challenging in the capitalistic plutocracy the United States is becoming, offers a womanist perspective on this ancient dilemma. When that happens, new ideas and new hope emerge. I came away from We Have Plenty with a better understanding of the Gospel and money, of womanist theology, and of the world in which we live.”
