Church Forsaken

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In this book you will find the future of the church—faithfully present, contagiously hopeful, and unflinchingly honest. Jonathan Brooks has written a must-read book that draws from his very particular life and neighborhood, but has universal lessons that are critical for all of us. Stop what you are doing and read this book—it's that important.”

Ecosystems of Jubilee

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“If we want to see movements of restorative justice and joyful abundance in our lives and neighborhoods, we need a fresh imagination of economics rooted in the ancient story of God. Rev. Humphreys and Dr. Gustine have given us the theological and practical guide we need for this necessary journey. A book that is both timeless and timely. Highly recommended.”

Jesus on Main Street

Church Leadership & Ministry

“If you are passionate about joining God to change the world, then you know how badly we all need to confront our broken economic systems. David Kresta has created an essential guide to community economic development, naming the crucial pathways you need to get started. As the truly local church continues to pursue the justice and abundance of God, we have an opportunity and obligation to reimagine our economic life from the ground up. This book is an indispensable guide for that future.”

Joining Jesus

Evangelism & Missions

“If you are interested in the future of the church, where you look makes all the difference, and this book points to such hopeful possibilities. Brimming with fresh stories, Joining Jesus will inspire you to shift your attention from old metrics to God’s activity at the local level. Highly recommended.”

My Vertical Neighborhood

Christian Living

“If you have ever been curious about how to connect the love of God with the love of our actual neighbors, you should read this enchanting book. Lynda MacGibbon's winsome storytelling invites us into the journey of mutual transformation that so many of us are longing to experience. Better yet, she gently shows how these sacred opportunities are literally all around us.”

Race and Place

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Joining God's dream for our neighborhoods compels us to answer the clarion call of racial justice and reconciliation. But for way too long, conversations about race haven't included place, and vice versa. With the insight of a scholar and wisdom that only comes from putting ideas into practice, Dr. Leong offers an invitation to the belonging, solidarity, and hope we so desperately need today. If you believe we need each other, you need this book. If you don't believe we need each other, you need this book. I'm so grateful for this timely contribution.”

Subterranean

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Want a sneak peak into the future of the church in North America? Read this book. Better yet, want to join in this bold new future? Join with others and create local practices as inspired by this incredible resource. Rooted in courageous practice, White has written a pioneering guide that pinpoints the cancerous defaults of the contemporary church, while also casting a practical vision for how we can all join in God's abundant future.”

The Church as Movement

Church Leadership & Ministry

“If you want to see the church through a radically different lens and recover the vision of how ordinary Christians working together in the neighborhood can become the greatest hope for change in these fractured and fragmented times, then this book is your guide.”
