        Divine Gravity

        Sparking a Movement to Recover a Better Christian Story

        by Meghan Larissa Good

        Foreword by Dennis R. Edwards

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513813127

        Pub Date: 11/07/2023

        A movement manifesto for a more hopeful and Jesus-centered Christianity

        Over five hundred years ago, the Western church underwent a period of massive recalibration that exposed abuses and theological blind spots and revived the historical foundations of Christianity. Today, signs suggest that we have entered another such religious reformation as new technologies, ecclesial scandals, and a crisis of biblical authority leave many Christians adrift or deconstructing the faith they once took for granted. The Christian story the church has been telling has become too small, and we are at a dead end.
        ​
        There is hope. Author and pastor Meghan Larissa Good invites readers into a movement that is finding ways to tell a better Christian story—a movement that is already emerging spontaneously as a work of the Spirit in many different wings of the church. Along the way, readers will encounter core rediscoveries of this authentic, Jesus-centered Christianity:...

        The Beginning of the Story

        Understanding the Old Testament in the Story of Scripture

        by Timothy J. Geddert

        Foreword by Kurt Willems

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513813066

        Pub Date: 10/10/2023

        Rediscover the essential beginning of the most important story ever told.
         
        Although the Bible contains sixty-six books that usually span over a thousand printed pages, most Christians turn first—and sometimes only—to the New Testament. So often, Christian readers have little idea what to do with the Old Testament, if we read it at all. Sure, we value a few well-known stories and use a few psalms for personal devotions and for worship. Beyond that, many Christians find the Old Testament mostly confusing, troubling, or irrelevant.
         
        But to understand the Bible as the grand story that it is—the story of God’s dealings with humanity and relationship to the whole universe—we must learn to read the first three-quarters of Scripture as Jesus did, and as the New Testament teaches us to do. Walking through the arc and major themes of the Old Testament narrative, author and...

        Practices for Living Well on a Fragile Planet

        by Sarah Renee Werner

        Foreword by David LaMotte

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513813165

        Pub Date: 09/19/2023

        There is hope yet that we may embrace the call to live differently on this fragile planet.
         
        As temperatures rise, natural disasters wreak devastation, and precious species die off one by one, we know we must change how we live in the world. But how? What would it look like if we took seriously the biblical charge to live more peacefully and gently on our fragile planet, if we understood ourselves as neighbors in a community of creation? Rooted Faith explores the future of the church called to live differently—one of reinhabiting our particular landscapes and confronting the assumptions of consumer culture head-on through our lives and actions.
         
        Drawing on Scripture, Christian history, and practical theology, author Sarah Renee Werner invites readers into a new way of seeing ourselves in relationship with the rest of creation. She offers tangible practices for opening up our...
        Luke

        Luke

        Believers Church Bible Commentary

        by Mary H. Schertz

        $39.99 / CAD $54.39

        ISBN: 9781513804279

        Pub Date: 06/27/2023

        Luke is a gospel of joy, amazement, and warmth. From the jubilant birth narrative and Magnificat at the beginning to the wonder of the ascension at the end, Luke offers a matchless portrait of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and those who followed him.

        In the 36th volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, New Testament scholar Mary H. Schertz helps readers inhabit the pages of the third gospel, replete with parables and paradoxes and ministries of mercy. In vibrant writing and with careful exegesis, Schertz invites readers to investigate for themselves the surprise, light, and awe of the kingdom of God, in which people find healing, the marginalized find welcome, and the poor find flourishing. Schertz traces the motifs of holy warrior and suffering servant that confronted every first-century Jew, including Jesus, and that still shape the church today. Through it all, Luke demonstrates both the cost of the...

        The Spacious Path

        Practicing the Restful Way of Jesus in a Fragmented World

        by Tamara Hill Murphy

        Foreword by W. David O. Taylor

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513811918

        Pub Date: 06/20/2023

        A simple invitation into a life ordered around listening and love

        As we live through cycles of change and disruption, our familiar pathways crumble and we find ourselves in fragmented relationships with God, others, and our own souls. We are not the first to experience this disorientation: When Jesus offered the stunning invitation to come to him to learn how to work from a place of rest, he was talking to people weighed down by ill-fitting political, economic, and religious systems. And his life and ministry offer a glimpse of a better way.

        For centuries a practice called the Rule of Life—built around rhythms of prayer, work, study, hospitality, and rest—has provided a loving pathway for anyone who desires to live out the whole gospel. More than a historic primer on an ancient practice, an aspirational overview of spiritual life, or a personal inventory focused on habits, The...

        What It Really Means for the Bible to Be Divinely Inspired

        by Zack Hunt

        Foreword by Matthew Paul Turner

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513811833

        Pub Date: 05/09/2023

        Could there be good news in biblical imperfections?

        What if the imperfections and contradictions in Scripture aren’t an accident? What if they were allowed to be there by the Holy Spirit in order to draw us beyond the literal words on the page and deeper into the spiritual truth God is trying to teach us? As provocative or unorthodox as that might sound, it is in fact a very ancient way of understanding what it means for the Bible to be divinely inspired. In this thorough and disarming book, author Zack Hunt explains how we got here and offers a practical and easily accessible approach for reading and understanding the Bible that doesn’t require a PhD in biblical languages.
        ​
        As the disillusioned leave the Church in droves and the deconstructing search for better answers to eternal questions, this book repositions Scripture in the life of the Church to...

        An Untidy Faith

        Journeying Back to the Joy of Following Jesus

        by Kate Boyd

        Foreword by Trey Ferguson

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513811796

        Pub Date: 04/18/2023

        A gentle guidebook for Christians caught in the messy middle

        In the wake of scandal, culture wars, and abuse, many Christians are wondering whether the North American church is redeemable—and if not, whether they should even stay. While many are answering no to those questions, this book is for those who long to disentangle their faith from all the cultural baggage and recapture the joy of following Jesus.
         
        Through personal anecdotes, encounters with the global church, deep dives into Scripture, and helpful historical context about Christianity, An Untidy Faith takes readers on two journeys. The first journey lays out the grand vision of Christianity and the legacy passed on to us by the early believers in hopes of renewing readers’ belief in the church writ large. The second journey helps believers understand why they feel distant from their church settings and provides a reorientation drawn from Scripture of...

        Stuck Together

        The Hope of Christian Witness in a Polarized World

        by J. Nelson Kraybill

        Foreword by Stuart Murray

        $18.99 / CAD $25.83

        ISBN: 9781513810645

        Pub Date: 04/11/2023

        What does it mean to be a peacemaker in a polarized world?

        It can feel as if the world—and the church—has never been more polarized. But when we feel worn down by the chasms dividing us, we can take hope from the early Christian vision of God uniting all things in Christ, a hope that can lead us to act. Stuck Together explores Bible stories and narratives ancient and modern that inspire us to open hearts and minds to persons with whom we disagree as we gain confidence in our own convictions.
        Drawing from Scripture, from his own life journey, and from the witness of others, author J. Nelson Kraybill demonstrates how even small steps of reconciliation by confessionally grounded Christians can have big effect and give loving Christian witness in a polarized church and society.
