Reasons for the Seasons

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Each day, Christians pray for the coming of the reign of God. Jesus taught us to pray, 'thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.' Does God answer that prayer? Indeed, we have been given signs of what life is like under God's reign. In this captivating book, W. Paul Jones has taught us how we might taste the kingdom banquet before the feast is fully present. By living the church year, and living it deeply, we experience God's reign and know how it will be when the kingdom has fully come. As you read this book, this brilliant and gentle priest, who has a protestant mind and a catholic heart, will help you to experience the reality of that kingdom for which we pray. This book will nurture your soul, and help you to find islands of holiness in the sea of secularism in which we live.”

Remnant Christianity in a Post-Christian World

“All of us who are paying attention are sensing the coming of a spiritual winter that calls into question all that we believe. In this book, which is both challenging and comforting, W. Paul Jones analyzes the forms of idolatry that contemporary society presents to the church and the reasons why people of faith must prepare to live as a remnant people in a new reality. No one is better equipped with the gifts of mind and spirit than W. Paul Jones to help us understand what is happening to the church and why, and what it will mean for all of us to live faithfully in a post-Christian world.”

We Shall Not Be Moved

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As the United Methodist Church approaches the General Conference of 2016, there is much anxiety about divisions in our church caused by different viewpoints, passionately held, on issues of same gender relationships. As storm clouds gather on the horizon and thunder can be heard afar off, the book by Jane Ellen Nickell, We Shall Not be Moved, appears. It may or may not be too much to call its appearance at this particular time an act of providence, but it is surely a gift to our church as we attempt to weather this particular storm.”
