Seeking Wisdom

Preaching & Worship

“This outstanding book of prayers achieves the twin aims of all classic prayer books. It models the best of contemporary public prayers, which are diverse and inclusive. It invites the reader to meditation upon the God to whom the prayers are addressed. Readers who seek model prayers for public occasions or desire stimulus to devotion will be richly rewarded.”

The Empathic God

Theology

“Dr. Woggon demonstrates the power of pastoral theology to weave together theological and psychological scholarship, stories from Scripture and contemporary life, and empathic healing practices. His singular focus on the destructive power of shame and the healing power of divine and human empathy drives broad and deep examinations of Scripture, theology, human suffering, and salvation-healing. Those who practice spiritual care, theological construction, and contemporary meaning formation will be informed and challenged.”
