A Gentle Boldness

Sharing the Peace of Jesus in a Multi-Faith World

by David W. Shenk

$16.99 / CAD $22.60

ISBN: 9781513801353

Pub Date: 09/21/2021

A global citizen. A commitment to sharing the peace of Jesus. A witness to the difference that Jesus makes.

The story David Shenk either begins in Shirati Village in Tanganyika, East Africa, or we might decide it begins among the orchards of Lancaster County, Pa., where farmers with their horses line up a mile for water as they rearrange their loads for their trek home on market day. In either reading, this is a story of mission—a story of people chattering along a roadside spring on the way to and from market.
 
At age six, Shenk asked his parents, “What difference does Jesus make?” The answer to that question is the reason he became a Christian. Day by day, as he travels in the way of Jesus—living, serving, and ministering around the world—Shenk continues to unpack what difference Jesus makes.

This Is God's Table

Finding Church Beyond the Walls

by Anna Woofenden

$16.99 / CAD $22.60

ISBN: 9781513804835

Pub Date: 04/21/2020

Can a barren city lot become a church?
 
This is the story of an audacious journey. It’s the story of what happens when people garden, worship, and eat together—and invite anyone and everyone to join them. In This Is God’s Table, writer and pastor Anna Woofenden describes the way that the wealthy and the poor, the aged and the young, the housed and unhoused become a community in this once-empty lot. Together they plant and sustain a thriving urban farm, worship God, and share a weekly meal. Together they craft a shared life and a place of authenticity where all are welcome. Readers of Nadia Bolz-Weber, Sara Miles, and Diana Butler Bass will find here a kindred vision for a church without walls.     
 
As churches across the Western world wither, what would it take to find a raw, honest, gritty way of...
