Narrative Identity

World Religions

“This book brings a fresh perspective on how people self-identify, a dynamic process that is both individual and collective. As such, it questions the popular paradigm of people group thinking in missions and deems it cultural determinism and static. Fascinating narratives of Pashtuns in the USA illustrate how immigrants navigate the ‘system.’ They must fit into the American way of life and simultaneously keep in touch with family back home. It is well worth the read.”

Rendering Divine Names on Coins

History & Biography

“What is most striking about this book is the realization that all through history coins have unique stories to tell. They teach us about what people believed, especially their search for the divine, but also what they thought about themselves and the meaning of government. In this quest, some leaders blatantly deified themselves. The authors choose a topic, such as Gnosticism, Manichaeism, or Islam, give the context, and tie it in with a coin produced at the time. One hundred photo-figures throughout the text make the stories that much more interesting. This book will enhance mutual understanding among people of different faiths and give opportunities for Christian witness.”

The Contextualized Psalms (Punjabi Zabur)

“Since one cannot worship in Pakistan without singing Zabours, this book should be part of the training for every Christian worker (expatriate and national). They belong to Christians of all denominations, but Muslims also need to hear of their poetic quality and spiritual truths. For example, the most popular, Psalm 24, reiterates that Jesus is King. Others mention the prophets and such themes provide workers with connecting points to the gospel.”
