Claiming the Courageous Middle

Theology

“This book is a much-needed field guide for overcoming polarization. Combining deep historical analysis, biblical insights, and lived experiences, Shirley Mullen’s Claiming the Courageous Middle helps to define the current divisive landscape, identify its theological and political root causes, and provide creative and practical solutions that have been field-tested. Mullen’s personal history, her scholarship as a historian, her track record as a college president, and her sincere faith in Christ all come together to equip those in the middle to own their space and to lead redemptively.”

Dim Sum and Faith

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Some authors give you a road map with good wishes for a safe trip. In Dim Sum and Faith, Jenn Suen Chen instead is a wise guide who vulnerably shares how she has traversed and continues to navigate her complex and beautiful journey. Even better, her questions and wisdom equip and accompany us as we explore the unique terrain of our own story that God is writing. Grab coffee and a friend and let Jenn help you go deeper in your spiritual formation.”

Improvising Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but the church is called to be a beautiful reflection of the incarnational God who came not to be served but to serve. Too often churches, in their desire to be faithful to a God who never changes, refuse to change any of their practices, structures, or presuppositions, even though people are leaving church disillusioned and hurt. Weaving together his expertise in Old Testament, pastoring, and jazz music, Mark Glanville provides fresh insight into God's unchanging Word to help us be faithful witnesses in God's changing world. Be inspired by the lived examples, and be challenged and equipped to bring healing, hope, and beauty in the name of Jesus.”

Preaching in a New Key

Preaching & Worship

“A brilliant and needed paradigm shift. There have been unintended consequences from some expository preaching that, in its desire to lift high Scripture, ended up neglecting the soul of the individual, the church body, and the community to which it is called. This book is a welcome corrective that doesn't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Rather, it receives Scripture deeply into the soul of the preacher embedded in community and then creatively, communally, and specifically empowers the preacher to bear witness to the Living Word.”
