Faith and Politics in a World Gone Awry
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Looking over America’s hot-tempered politics and deep divisions, Plunkett asks: ‘Can grace save us?’ His answer eschews shaming caricatures and magic fixes. Instead, Plunkett points—with humility and hope—to the hard work before us and to the grace that will lead us home. We desperately need sign-posts like this.”
Preaching & Worship
“All clergy must, at various points in their ministries, preach in the context of trauma. These sermons, delivered next to open graves and in the face of national calamities, are heartbreakingly difficult to breathe into life. Wagner’s Fractured Ground is an unflinchingly honest and intelligently hopeful guide to this most difficult work. Right out of the gate, this book is a pastoral classic.”
Christian Living
“Tom Are skillfully guides his readers down a difficult path. He reminds us that to live is to struggle and, yes, to suffer. And then, standing alongside us in these hard places, Tom tells stories. Biblical stories. Church stories. Sacred, funny, wonderful stories that open readers’ eyes and renew parched souls. This book is a straight up blessing.”
Christian Living
“In a time when Jesus can be found on Facebook, and podcasts are the venue through which the Word is heard, Michael Rogness brings us a book that connects! We live in a cynical time. No doubt about it. Yet, as Rogness stitches together a series of conversations that he has had with young people-conversations about God and church and what matters in life-he wraps his readers in a faith that is as old as Moses and as relevant as this morning's news.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I was taught to preach with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. It was faithful advice. Of course, there are times (like now) when a steady tide of distressing newspaper headlines can overwhelm even the most biblically savvy of preachers. Do not fear, says Walter Brueggemann, pointing calmly to the book in our other hand. Tenacious Solidarity is unmatched in rifling through Scripture’s pages and in finding there wisdom and courage for the living of these days.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“If you are looking for someone who puts heartbreaking loss into conversation with the practices of faith--if you are looking for a companion who will walk alongside you with grace, humor, and hope--your search is over. This book is a gift.”
Children & Youth
“When Children Imagine God ushers readers into a beautiful and creative space—a realm awash in spiritual wisdom. Refusing to treat children’s spirituality as simply a source for cute stories and giggles, Brad Wigger invites us to listen to children with patience and care. When we make time to attend to these observant souls, Wigger observes, we inevitably discover that they have a lot more going on spiritually than we may imagine. In fact, through these conversations, we discover reliable and winsome guides for our own spiritual journeys.”
