Fiction
“This is a great memoir by a fine author that helps the reader reflect more deeply on what makes for a good life.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Everett L. Worthington Jr. has devoted so many years of his life as a practitioner and student of forgiveness. He is among just a small handful of distinguished Christian thinkers who have made the topic of forgiveness one that nowadays is on thelips of almost everyone across our society and around the world. This book is a model of integrative Christian wisdom, lifting up a culture that so much needs to be transformed. Dr. Worthington stands at the pinnacle of creative Christian achievement with this outstanding book, one that speaks with love and clear thinking about that great gift that Christ brought to the world when he said, 'Forgive them, for they know not what they do.'”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Swinton offers us the best constructive theology yet written on the important place for the deeply forgetful in our communities and our lives. His ability to elevate the most significant Christian scholarship on this topic to the level of a compelling new synthesis is clear on each thoughtful page. Those who want to reflect deeply on where individuals with dementia fit into our world will benefit from this breath of fresh air. It is a brilliant book that stays true to everything meaningful in Christian ethics, theology, and care.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Christianity teaches proper stewardship of the gift of our bodies. In a time when health care professionals frankly acknowledge the difficulty of encouraging healthy behaviors and treatment compliance in patients, the emergence of the churches as purposeful partners in the pursuit of health is vital. While Christianity accepts the ultimate frailty and mortality of human life ... the precious gift of healthy life is among the most important of Christian values. W. Daniel Hale and Harold G. Koenig are uniquely qualified in highlighting all the practical ways in which church communities can enhance the health of those in their midst, and, by example, of all those who share in our common humanity.”
“Dolores L. Christie has written a superb set of narrative reflections on the subjective experience of illness, aging, and dying. She and her physician husband Dick have been leaders in the Cleveland universe of healthcare and long-term care for more than forty years, and her long history of providing counseling, pastoral care, and a listening ear for those who have come to difficult times of illness and decline is renowned. It's Time is an elegant, compassionate, and spiritual work that can be read by students in the humanities, healthcare professionals of all types, and by families seeking perspective in difficult times.”
“In these well-crafted pages J. Harold Ellens reports vividly on how he has experienced Divine Love over the course of a lifetime from youth to old age in intuition, illuminating mystical moments, and guidance. Light from the Other Side shines through as an honest self-report of spirituality in the tradition of an everyday mysticism grounded in a God of Unlimited Love. This is a bold and refreshing book written to show us all that God is alive and active in our lives, especially when things get tough. Bravo!”
Theology
“It would be difficult to imagine a book that does a better job of weaving together the very best science on human development over the life course with a reliable Christian theology of the Trinity. This deep integrative writing at the interface of lifespan psychology and theology is extraordinary. Throughout, the book has a wonderful practical emphasis that makes it a remarkable resource for pastoral counseling and for the Christian psychologist. The authors deserve immense credit for creating an integrative vision that will be of great use to the competent psychologist who is also the committed Christian.”
Philosophy
“Gary Chartier’s new book, Understanding Friendship, is the most exciting and profound study on the topic that we have seen in three decades, since the youthful days of Gilbert Meilaender, Stanley Hauerwas, and Paul Wadell. Chartier presents the most diligent and comprehensive discussion that I have ever read, and he takes us to new levels of analysis throughout. His engagement with politics and economics breaks new ground and makes friendship the most important heuristic key for solving the problems of our modern times. Bravo. A sure classic from the get-go.”
