Calling in Context

Work, Money & Leadership

“In Calling in Context Susan Maros counters the popular notion of vocation as an individual's calling discovered outside of time and place with a fresh, communal understanding that is grounded in God's action in the world and discerned in the midst of personal intersections and diverse experiences. Claiming vocational discernment is contextual and lifelong, Maros seeks to deepen awareness and awakening unconscious assumptions by inviting readers into a reflective process. Well written with personal stories, rich connections to Scripture, and challenging reflection questions, this book is a great resource for Christian leaders as it recognizes the importance of social location and directly addresses the impact racial-ethnic-cultural identity, socioeconomic status, sex/gender, power, and privilege play in vocation.”

GPS: Finding Direction on Your Faith and Life Journey

Christian Living

“GPS is a gift to church leaders as they seek to help people discover how faith can provide meaning in their daily life. As a seasoned pastor and articulate theologian, John Strommen names the complexities of our time and provides a theological and practical response. I highly recommend this book!”

Martin Luther as Youth Worker

Children & Youth

“For congregations rooted in the Reformation and seeking new understandings of faith formation, Martin Luther as Youth Worker is worth a look. Grounded in history with an eye to the present, this book brings readers into Luther's life and asks questions that are real today. What is our calling as parents? What is society's role in preparing the next generation? How is faith formed? How do the absurdities of the Christian faith translate into our actions in society? Short and easy to read, Hobart's work is fitting for a variety of people--youth workers, parents, educators, and congregational leaders seeking to rethink forming faith. I highly recommend it.”

The Sabbath Experiment

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The Sabbath Experiment invites readers to discover the place Sabbath can have in contemporary culture. Claiming Sabbath-keeping is both a discipline and a gift, Muthiah opens up this countercultural practice biblically, historically, theoretically, and personally. Each chapter elegantly articulates one aspect of the practice while offering the opportunity to slow down and reflect on one's life . . . [T]his book is accessible, well-written, practical, and a gift to the church.”
