Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In an invitingly simple question-and-answer format, Follow Me leads readers by the hand through the complex symbols of Mark's radical story of discipleship. Readers overwhelmed by the prospect of grappling with a full-length commentary will find this user-friendly introduction a solid way of entering into Mark's story of Jesus and discovering anew the cost and rewards of following the Way.”
Christian Living
“We’re all dying every day, but not all of us know that to the depths as did Ted Brackman. His book is a passionate, intelligent, faithful cry from the heart that speaks to all people seeking to follow Jesus in challenging times. Drink in Ted’s words of wisdom and be inspired anew to walk in joyous discipleship!”
Theology
“A fascinating, stimulating collection from a diverse group of scholars, filled with exciting insights. Compassionate Eschatology interweaves close readings of the Bible-with Revelation as its central text-theology and current events to shed light on the 'times of the end.' The authors reveal, each from their own angle of vision, how God's ultimate purpose is not destructive vengeance, but the healing into harmony of all creation.”
Reading Minjung Theology in the Twenty-First Century
Theology
“A fascinating collection exploring the roots and current relevance of Korean minjung ('crowd' or 'masses') theology' as expressed by one of its founders and most prolific exponents, Ahn Byung-Mu. The writers engage a wide range of social locations, revealing both changed circumstances since Ahn's pioneering work, and the ongoing importance of his work in our globalized, dominating empire. A great conversation to enter for both those already familiar with this indigenous Korean form of liberation theology and those looking to expand their listening to include voices often silenced.”
World Religions
“I encourage all who are seeking to follow Jesus beyond the bounds of institutional 'Christianity' to read and discuss this important book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Ted Grimsrud is a worthy and capable guide through the often misread and confusing images laid out by John of Patmos to the churches in Roman Asia. Anyone who has ever wondered how to make sense of this powerful narrative will find a great companion in To Follow the Lamb. Go form a study group and dig in!”
History & Biography
“It’s not every day one has the pleasure of encountering someone who has lived passionately, consistently, and courageously in the way of Jesus, but Dave Andrews is one of those people. To Right Every Wrong offers a rollicking series of stories, insights, and observations about following Jesus in the world sure to inspire any sincere seeker into deeper discipleship. Dave’s story, like his life, is wonderfully all over the place, literally and figuratively, as he and his wife, Angie, seek solidarity with the poor . . . while engaging in an endless, energetic campaign of writing, speaking, breaking bread, and confronting injustice, in the world and in themselves. Rarely has the risky, dangerous life of authentic discipleship . . . [been done] ‘with such grand gusto’!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Mark’s book is a new kind of conversion story: not from disbelief to faith, but away from toxic fundamentalism to a healthy, contextually grounded discipleship of the Jesus of the Gospels. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who has struggled to find and follow the authentic Jesus so often hidden behind walls of Christian dogmatic thought and practice.”
World Religions
“Step right up and marvel at the kaleidoscopic range of approaches to ‘the end’ found in this book! From ancient prophecy to the music of Metallica, from Western urban intellectuals to indigenous visionaries, this fabulous collection invites readers of all kinds to be intrigued and even inspired by the ways ‘the end’ generates art and ideas that challenge the status quo in many times and places. Highly recommended!”
