Bread for the Journey

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This collection of Tom Currie's weekly reflections, addressed to one particular seminary community across his thirteen-year deanship there, is now offered as a primer in faithful living and thinking. Tom's scholarly mind and pastor's heart reach deeply throughout the accumulated memory of the Church to mine and make relevant the treasure of its wisdom in the face of the challenges of these days. Read it devotionally, or in community. It will bless and encourage you.”

Days and Times

Arts & Literature

“Paul Hooker—a Renaissance man equally at home in the annals of music or political science or the Hebrew Bible or the corpus of Reformed theology or the noble principles of ecclesial polity—has become possessed in recent years by the charm and profundity of poetry. He has accessed a new sanctuary in his heart from which he mines such beautiful insight. I have been honored to hear him read to me much of his material while the ink is still wet. I am glad that now you get to encounter it, too.”

God’s Gift of Generosity

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Karl Travis’s themes of ‘gratitude’ and ‘generosity’ crackle with profound examples that remind us in this often-dispirited time that, at its essence, the church is still alive and hopeful. At its very heart, this book beckons us to practice boldly an unafraid discipleship grounded by the keystone of consistent generosity and religious joy. This book is not simply a primer for stewardship committees. More profoundly, it is an invitation to explore the landscape of a deeper faith. Those who love this faith and those who wish to love it more will be blessed by the wisdom within these pages.”

Joy Even on Your Worst Days

Christian Living

“This book began in the midst of a terrifying global pandemic. In it, Tom Are Jr.—a profound and effective preacher, pastor, writer, and theologian—dives deeply into Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians to find evidence of a sense of joy in tragic times. What emerges is a strong word of encouragement for people of faith and those who search for it. Joy Even on Your Worst Days will challenge, encourage, and inspire.”

Old Man Dreaming

Theology

“Williams borrows biblical imagery to describe himself as an ‘old man dreaming.’ His dream is that, in the midst of a secular age, the contemporary church—from local congregations to the highest judicatory levels—can see an anxious present, future, and even past with faithful vision. Such vision comes, perhaps unexpectedly, from fresh engagement with our own biblical and theological beliefs and values. This book will inspire pastors, seminarians, church members, and leaders as it points toward new insights from ancient sources.”

The Crossed Hands of God

History & Biography

“This book is a fascinating read! Tompkins' compilation of Eugene McLaurin's World War I journal and his letters to his future wife are a superb contribution to those who, like me, have a scant sense of (a) the brutality and rhetoric of that war at that time, and (b) the persistence of love and commitment that nonetheless prevailed. Most importantly, these writings . . . provide one snapshot of the formation of character--what it looks like, then and now.”

The Long Road Home and Other Short Stories from the Silences in the Gospel of Mark

Fiction

“Deep inside the heart and soul of Jim Lowry--a writer, pastor-scholar, Southerner, and Christian--there's a searingly captivating story. That story--Jim's story, our story, the story--speaks to you in these pages. It dwells within characters from around the world and back and forth through time, some of whom could live across the street. I promise that in this book you will make new friends, and one of them may be a new side of yourself.”
