Dismissing Jesus

Christian Living

“Dismiss this book! Reading it will make a holy mess of your life. But if you want to enter into the pain of the world and see the Jesus revolution ignite, [then] pick up this fuel. Jones explains Jesus' gospel of renunciation, enemy-love, weakness, deliverance, and sharing in practical terms. His book gives us the tools to form a revolutionary community of people who practice the way of Jesus.”

Once Upon a Time There Was a Three-Year-Old Grandpa

History & Biography

“Reading this book is like walking in the woods with a wise elder. David Janzen muses on the prodigal fertility of the giant Cottonwood, spots the return of the hunted-to-near-extinction jackrabbit, and relates insights on topics like how to build a reconciled community. As he weaves together stories from his life of adventure, lessons learned from hardships, and plenty of humor, Janzen proves to be the gracious mentor for which many of us long.”

The Good News about Conflict

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Both sides in the debate over LGBT sexuality are mesmerized by and locked into the standard, simplistic arguments. Jenell Paris wakes us up to both the complexity and the opportunity of the conflict. While the truths she presents don't make the conflict easier, they do make it better. Better because she more truthfully describes the difficulty we are in and therefore helps us make progress toward reconciliation while growing as Christians in the process.”
