Are You For Real?

“Using personal as well as culturally specific narratives, Stephanie Crowder raises awareness of the dangers and challenges women—especially Black women—face when experiencing what is commonly known as imposter syndrome. Her care ‘to do no harm’ enabled me to laugh at myself as I became acquainted with the imposters within as presented in the sacred text. The offering of liberating hope calls for our authenticity, as a gift to ourselves and others. A must-read!”

Surfacing

Fiction

“In Surfacing, Susan Thistlethwaite’s Kristin Ginelli utilizes her experiences as a friend, former cop, and professor as she brings to light and life the horror and trauma of sexual violence while boldly navigating the systems and structures to help solve a murder she knew her friend might somehow be charged with. This book is not simply a ‘who done it’ mystery novel, it demonstrates true friendship, compassion, and a willingness to get involved no matter the cost.”

Witness in the Dust

Fiction

“With joy, I endorse this book by Lorrie C. Reed. She covers the young woman’s journey with eloquence, precision, compassion, and passion. As I read her story, it was as if I became intertwined with the Haitian woman. . . . A must-study for theological students and pastoral care organizations involved in justice work, while at the same time understanding the connections between doing Jesus and doing justice.”
