Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Jason Micheli is one of the most hip, funny, deeply-theological-without-being-boring pastors in my church today. Jason is an engaging, always substantive-without-being-showy communicator of the faith. Now that he’s got Stage Dangerous Cancer, Jason’s wit, faith, and genius turns even that tough journey into a pilgrimage toward God. Only Jason could transform cancer into a source of comedy but also a great occasion to teach the rest of us how to think like Christians about life, sickness, death, and God. Jason is able to do this because he, as much as anyone I know, believes in a living, redemptive God who is with us, in good times and bad. A funny, faithful book.”
Challenges Faced by Iraq War Reservists and Their Families
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Our churches are finding that people returning from our country's wars in Iraq are often persons with special needs. Ken Walden, from firsthand experience with these veterans, gives solid help to pastors and congregations seeking to minister to those in pain in the aftermath of Iraq.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“For some time now Tony Robinson has been changing what we mainline Protestants talk about. In this book Tony furthers the conversation with clear, wise insights into how we can be a changed church. He enables us not only to change our talk but also to change our walk.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“It’s one thing to have a talented, theologically well-formed Reformed pastor. It’s quite another thing for that pastor to be honest, truthful, courageous, eloquent, and interesting. Douglas Brouwer is that pastor. His book is bound to be known as one of the finest ministerial memoirs to come out of the last days of mainline Protestantism. Here’s a life, a ministry well lived, an inspiring testimonial to the grace of God in calling a life to service.”
Theology
“Christian Basics is a creative, essential introduction to the Christian faith. The book will be a lively resource for membership classes, confirmation classes, or anyone who wants to survey the Christian faith and its basic beliefs in a lively way.”
“Gene Davenport is one of the great prophetic teachers of the church. When Gene was run out of Alabama, because of his commitment to the way of Jesus amid a turbulent time, we unwittingly gave a great gift to the church beyond our church--Gene Davenport. This book, which exemplifies so much that Gene tried to teach us, is a great tribute to his ministry. It is also strong, biblical encouragement for the rest of us to walk the way of Jesus, to speak truth to power, to stand up to the powers, and to practice what we preach.”
Arts & Literature
“Christmas is the supremely poetic season to celebrate God’s love for us. There’s no one better than S T Kimbrough to help us keep Christmas in the way it’s meant to be. These poems illuminate and celebrate the joy of God with us.”
Creation, Character, and Wisdom
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Dave Bland has helpfully led us through scripture in many books. Now Dave teams up with Sean Patrick Webb to help us think with scriptural imagination about issues related to creation care, the environment, and our stewardship of God's good gifts. Christians will find practical, biblical guidance in this lively, engaging book.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Our churches have been through a season of suffering and grief. What will our future be? Church leaders, givers of care, must now learn to be adaptive, courageous innovators. We can’t go back to what we had, but we’re uncertain how to move forward. Crisis and Care brings together a group of wise, experienced church leaders whose meditations will stoke, fund, and fuel your imagination. This book will give you the courage and confidence, as well as practical ideas you need to help God’s people not only to emerge from the present crisis but also to thrive in God’s promised future”
Theology
“When I want to think clearly and imaginatively about baptism, I go to a Lutheran for help. We couldn't have a better guide than Lutheran pastor/writer Frank Honeycutt. This is a remarkable book that can help any Christian find new meaning and significance in the sacrament of Christian initiation.”
Christian Living
“God has given Goetz a gift for seeing … the parched lives beneath the suburban bliss.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I found Esteban Solís’ Pentecostal perspective on pastoral ministry to be invigorating, challenging, and genuinely new. He reminds us that we pastors don’t work alone. The Holy Spirit is busy deconstructing, reconstructing, and keeping our ministries as fresh and as dangerous, as contemporary and as vital as God means ministry to be. All of us North American church leaders will be interrogated and empowered by the unique theological insights of this Pentecostal Costa Rican pastor.”
Denominationalism Illustrated and Explained
History & Biography
“This book has convinced me that denominational Christianity is not dying; it is once again adapting and transitioning into a new chapter in its fascinating history. Here is history from one of our most able church historians, who not only studied our history, but also helped make history in his church and seminary leadership, all in service to the future vitality of our church.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“We couldn't have a better guide to light the way to Bethlehem than Shepherd. . . . Even if you've made dozens of trips through Advent-Christmas, Barrie will enable you to walk toward the Incarnation again as if for the first time.”
Christian Living
“Pastors know that there’s no one who understands the particular challenges and joys of ministry better than Craig Barnes. When you read this diary, Craig’s delight in, exasperation with, and love for the church is manifest. He’s had a privileged look at us from his vantage as pastor, preacher, teacher, and our nation’s most prominent seminary president. Has this preacher got a way with words! In this rich collection of some of Craig’s best thoughts on the Christian ministry, pastors will find much encouragement and guidance, and anybody else will discover why the pastoral ministry is such a serious, joyful, demanding, and ultimately fulfilling vocation.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Clémot has given the church a wonderful book that encourages churches to welcome others in the name of Christ. Discerning Welcome not only tells us why but how to be a refugee-welcoming church. Here’s the guidance of a wise, experienced pastor and attorney who sees the current influx of refugees as a God-given opportunity for North American Christians to rediscover the welcoming, resourceful hospitality at the core of our faith.”
Divine Mysteries and the Christian Year
Preaching & Worship
“The Christian year is a wonderful way to order time in line with our commitment to Christ and his reign. S T Kimbrough’s poetic meditations help us to find fresh meaning in the mystery as we keep time with Christ. What time is it? Kimbrough beautifully enables us to tell the time.”
