Becoming Neighbors

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Amar Peterman has written a book the church desperately needs. Becoming Neighbors is a beautiful vision of what happens when we move past fear and suspicion and begin to see one another as bearers of God’s image. It’s both deeply practical and profoundly hopeful—an invitation to create communities marked by love, justice, and belonging.”

Eucontamination

Theology

“Drawing on their expertise, experience, and shared commitment to Christ’s church, Billie and Paul Hoard have written a book that truly embodies the Way of Jesus. They call followers of Jesus to leave behind a faith marred by disgust theology and embrace eucontamination (contamination for good) as a way to find flourishing for ourselves and our neighbors. This book will leave you thinking deeply and acting boldly. I highly recommend it!”

I've Got Questions

Christian Living

“Not since Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans have I come across a book that so vividly describes the grief, pain, and beauty of deconstructing and reconstructing faith. I couldn’t make it through the introduction without both tearing up and audibly laughing. Erin Moon’s I’ve Got Questions: The Spiritual Practice of Having It Out with God was a balm for my soul and I anticipate that it will be my most given away book of the year.”

One Nation over God

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Wes Crawford has written a timely and courageous examination of one of the most pressing spiritual challenges facing the American church: the subtle blending of faith and national identity. With pastoral sensitivity and careful research, Crawford invites the church to examine how civil religion shapes us, sometimes in ways we hardly notice. This book challenges readers to love their country faithfully—without confusing it with the kingdom of God. In an era marked by political division, moral confusion, and the co-opting of Jesus for unChristlike purposes, Crawford reminds us that the church’s witness depends on clear allegiance to the crucified and risen Jesus above every flag, party, or platform.”

The Moral Teachings of Jesus

Christian Living

“In The Moral Teachings of Jesus, David Gushee refocuses Christians on what matters most—the words and work of Christ. This book brings together a diverse variety of perspectives and theological disciplines in order to help the reader understand the words of Jesus in their fullness. I can’t wait for this book to get in the hands of folks at our church. It is a game-changer.”

The Seven Mountains Mandate

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“We cannot change where we’re going without knowing where we’ve been, which is why Matthew Boedy’s work is so vitally important. With expertise and candor, Boedy illuminates the history of theocracy and anti-democracy in this country that has too often hidden underneath a thin veneer of Christian rhetoric. This book is especially important as we attempt to navigate our way through Trump’s second administration and push back against the onslaught of Christian Nationalism.”

Words Like Honey

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In Words Like Honey, Amy Hughes reminds us of the power of our words, especially when they are spoken to our children. Proverbs 18:21 says, ‘The tongue has the power of life and death,’ but I didn’t understand just how true that was until I read this captivating book. Amy is an excellent writer who effortlessly weaves together theological insights, compelling stories, and practical advice. Words Like Honey is a must-read for anyone who is trying to follow Jesus and interact with kids at the same time.”
