“what the church is supposed to be. A Fellowship of Differents provides a hopeful and an applicable ecclesiology for the twenty-first century that provides insight into the burden and joy of being the church.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Drawn from a wide range of practitioners, A Heart for the Community may prove to be the manual and text for the 21st century urban minister. This book is a worthy testament to the exciting work of the Christian Community Development Association and a needed encouragement for those on the front lines of ministry.”
A Little Book for New Preachers
Preaching & Worship
“The art of preaching must not be lost. Dramatic changes in our society and in culture require that we go deeper in our preaching rather than dilute this sacred practice. I am thrilled that Matthew Kim has written this much-needed book. I am one of his friends who remembers when Matt was himself a new preacher as a seminary intern at my church. Matt has continued to hone his craft to become one of the best teachers of the preaching arts. In this text, we are reminded of the great legacy of preaching and how it can continue to have a deep impact. Thoughtful, accessible, and pastoral, this text offers some of the best of Matthew Kim's teaching ministry.”
History & Biography
“Natasha Robinson has lived it, experienced it, learned from it, and now through her writing, teaches us. The church needs truth telling. We are lost without the truth exposing secrets, lies, and false narratives. Natasha Robinson writes the truth that emerges from her own powerful narrative. She expresses the courage to speak the truth and to raise her voice. This is a voice the church needs to hear.”
Evangelism & Missions
“So many American churches invest in short-term trips to strengthen and build our own communities. Often they do not produce the fruit we are hoping for. This book presents a breadth of insight gained from real-life experience and learning. Cory Trenda provides an invaluable resource for the church. A practical tool that all churches should consider before and after every mission opportunity.”
World Religions
“We stand at a critical juncture in our nation’s history, as the United States becomes a nation with no clear ethnic majority. Our future could be characterized by great unity or by great discord. Jim Wallis engages in the kind of truth telling that is necessary to move toward a more hopeful future. Revealing the depth of sin endemic in our racialized history, Wallis names not only the symptoms but also the disease. The book is difficult to read at times. But truth does not come easily. Please embrace the truths that are found in this text so that our conversations on race may begin to move us forward.”
History & Biography
“I can’t remember the last time that I read a memoir where I was laughing hysterically and weeping uncontrollably in back-to-back paragraphs. With much talk about justice among evangelicals these days, Russell Jeung offers the real story of an honest, embodied life of justice. If every student I have ever taught said they wanted to be the next Russell Jeung—nothing would make me more proud. Please read this book.”
Christian Living
“For preachers and teachers who value Scripture, Paul Louis Metzger provides a robust theological reading of Scripture rooted in sound exegesis. In addition to the careful reading of the biblical text, Metzger offers historical, theological, social, and practical insights that call us to actually embody Scripture instead of just talking about it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The unbiblical and unhelpful approach of being colorblind in a diverse world has resulted in significant unintended negative consequences that have adversely impacted the work of the multiethnic church. Sarah Shin calls us to move beyond our superficial understanding of culture, race, and ethnicity toward a more biblical theological approach that offers the hope of healing.”
Christian Living
“Christian leadership should arise from a calling to God's kingdom rather than manipulated as a means to build a personal empire. Called challenges us to renew our calling to follow Jesus as servant leaders for God's kingdom. This important text offers us an opportunity to learn at the feet of a seasoned leader who offers insightful stories and practical application to spur us toward life as salt and light in the world.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“More and more pastors deal with the reality of fatherlessness in our community. Mark Strong's timely work presents honest and real insight that challenges the church to live into our calling to foster fatherhood to the fatherless. Strong offers practical and helpful ministry solutions for the important work of healing and redemption.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Disarming Leviathan is essential reading for this time. Many of us who have been pushed to the margins of US evangelicalism have watched with horror and contempt at what has happened to a once deeply spiritual ecclesial movement now solely identified as a rabid extreme political movement. Caleb Campbell provides a necessary service for the church. He makes what was once hidden plain to see—a revelation of an insidious movement that has grown roots and flourished in our midst. He accomplishes this act of prophetic revelation with thoughtfulness and grace, offering a pastoral path forward.”
Theology
“With the current demographic trends in US Christianity and the social reality and challenges related to Asian American Christianity, Daniel Lee offers this timely and essential work. With a profound commitment to lift up the revelation of God in the person of Jesus, this text takes on the additional challenge of framing this revelation in the context of the human covenant with the Asian American community. Daniel Lee is able to give honor and value to the larger redemptive narrative of Jesus while also honoring the story of the Asian American community. The text is both a prophetic call and an intellectual enactment of an invitation to a holy calling.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Christian leaders, teachers, and ministers have a responsibility to provide accurate historical, biblical, and theological reflections on globalization rather than regurgitating uninformed, biased media reports. In this essential text, Myers offers a vision of human flourishing that emerges from careful study and thoughtful pastoral reflection.”
Christian Living
“T. C. Moore engages in the prophetic practice of truth-telling, expressing theological truth to a broken ecclesial reality. The church needs to heed Moore's call for a more theological vision of family and the family of God.”
Christian Living
“In the midst of crisis, the church finds an opportunity. My friend Chris Rice has written a text that shines the moral lens of our Christian faith on the complex social reality we find ourselves in as a church. Chris offers a compelling and hopeful vision of how spiritual practices can provide the power and opportunity for Christian witness. He offers the possibility of hope even in these challenging times.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The future is brighter than we think. Many significant books have been written about the challenges faced by the church today, and we need this insight into our current reality. In this text, Powell, Mulder, and Chang offer a thoughtful analysis but even more so point us toward a potential positive prognosis. This prognosis is not based upon speculation, hyper-negativity, or ideology but upon thorough research and theologically thoughtful response. We need this book for such a time as this.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With profound biblical insight and sensitivity to the needs of the world, Walter Brueggemann reminds us why his voice is one of the most important pastoral voices of this generation. In Grace Abounds , we are re-introduced to an imagination offering the abundance of grace even in the most broken of worlds.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
Foreword
“With honesty, truth, wisdom, and grace, Sheila Wise Rowe brings a fresh and distinct perspective in our conversation on race. The reality of trauma on a social psychological level has been missed in this dialogue, and Sheila is the necessary corrective voice, offering heartbreaking and gut-wrenching stories that still manage to offer hope and healing. I have had the personal gift of sitting under Sheila's teaching, and now you also have that opportunity. Please embrace the opportunity to learn from this much-needed perspective.”
