Embrace

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Embrace is a lively, personal account of Rosario Picardo's experience planting a new church. Rich with anecdotes and theological overtones, this book is packed with inspiration and practical information for church planters and others who are boldly committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ in the twenty-first century.”

The Methodist Defense of Women in Ministry

Women

“Discrimination against women in ministry is very much alive and pernicious as ever in its subtle and blatant forms. In the face of this enduring challenge, Paul Chilcote brilliantly chronicles centuries of biblical, practical, and spiritual defenses for women in ministry by famous and more obscured Methodists. At once scholarly, pastoral, and prophetic, this book is encyclopedic in its documentary scope and eminently useful to all who appreciate the ‘extraordinary call’ of God to ministry.”

Truth Therapy

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“For those searching for a spirituality for life in the real world, Bellini offers both a biblical theology and a dynamic program for personal holistic spiritual growth. With insights drawn from pastoral experience, biblical knowledge, and scholarly studies, Truth Therapy encompasses not only the spiritual but also physical, mental, emotional, and practical aspects of human experience. Crisp, clear, and direct, this book is accessible and relevant to both Christian laypersons and professionals.”
