Jesus is calling his church to be a multiethnic and missional people who listen and learn from the many voices of world Christianity. Graham Joseph Hill issues a moving call for churches to be missional by being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Hill does this by exploring the thinking of twenty-five Asian, African, Latin American, Indigenous, African American, diaspora, Caribbean, Oceanian, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern pastors and theologians. These are as diverse as Melba Padilla Maggay, Emmanuel Katongole, Lamin Sanneh, Oscar Muriu, Ruth Padilla DeBorst, Pope Francis, Richard Twiss, Lisa Sharon Harper, Willie James Jennings, Ada María Isasi-Díaz, Soong-Chan Rah, and Mitri Raheb. These voices show us the future of missional churches in world Christianity. When churches are conformed to Christ they make disciples, heal a broken world, and witness to Jesus and his gospel. Jesus forms us in his image and moves us to be a people of shalom, humility, character, justice, peace, wisdom, prayer, beauty, and witness. The church has had a Reformation but now it needs a Conformation. Hill explores biblical themes and the voices of world Christianity to show that a missional church is conformed to the image of the incarnate, crucified, resurrected, and glorified Christ. Conformity to Christ is the heart of missional ecclesiology and discipleship.

Join Margaret Feinberg, one of America's most beloved teachers and writers, as she sets out on a remarkable journey to unearth God's perspective on food. What you discover will forever change the way you read the Bible--and approach every meal. This groundbreaking book provides a culinary exploration of Scripture. You'll descend 400 feet below ground into the frosty white caverns of a salt mine, fish on the Sea of Galilee, bake fresh matzo at Yale University, ferry to a remote island in Croatia to harvest olives, spend time with a Texas butcher known as "the meat apostle," and wander a California farm with one of the world's premier fig farmers. With each stop, Margaret asks, "How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?" Taste and See teaches us that: As we break bread, we find the satisfaction of our deepest hungers in the community our souls crave As we share our lives, we taste and see God's fruitfulness When we're tempted to lose heart--and we all will be--we find courage in listening to and participating in stories of God's rescuing ways In the midst of a busy life, we can all create space to taste and see God's goodness Taste and See is a delicious read that includes dozens of recipes for those who, like Margaret, believe some of life's richest moments are spent savoring a meal with those you love. See you around the table! Praise for Taste and See: "Margaret Feinberg's appetite for the feast of His grace makes you hunger for more of a fulfilling life. Read and taste the richest food for the soul!" --Ann Voskamp, bestselling author of WayMaker and One Thousand Gifts "Margaret is a storyteller who never ceases to see the beauty of the world around us. If you love God, good food, and life around the table, this book will take you on an unforgettable culinary journey through the Bible." --Jennie Allen, bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder of IF:Gathering

The number of Americans attending Christian worship services is falling and those identifying with world religions, such as Islam or Buddhism, is on the rise, along with those claiming to be atheists. Against this sobering backdrop, we have to ask the question: Is the Church on the move, or is the Church on the run? It's time for Christians to take action on Jesus' commands to be salt and light. While we have all read the words, few of us fully understand what it means to bring those words to life. In Salt and Light, you'll see exactly what Jesus meant when he said you are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world. This book is the call to action the Church needs in this time of crisis. In Salt and Light you will learn: - The true Christian history of America's founding and why it's more important today than ever - 3 specific ways Jesus intended his followers to be the "salt of the earth" - What exactly it means to be light to a dark world - 4 methods Jesus demonstrated for being light to those around you - 3 things that keep you from being salt and light to others, and how to eliminate them - How to function as a preservative and disinfectant - 8 proven tools for enduring attacks on your faith - How God uses ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference for His kingdom - Lessons from Gideon's life that you probably never thought of, and how they apply to you today - And much more Salt and Light is a Christian call to action. If you're on God's team, Salt and Light shows you how to not only get in the game but be effective in the strength you have right now.

The biggest barrier to faith is life itself. Divorce. Cancer. Infertility. Death. There are times in our lives in which God seems very far away. We don't understand His silence. We only feel the intensity of our pain and the echoing question of 'why?' The Bible declares that God is good, but can we still believe this when our lives are falling apart? In Keep Believing, Dr. Pritchard affirms what the Bible declares: that God is good and His mercy endures forever. This is true regardless of our moment-by-moment experience. God has provided comfort in our times of struggle and healing in our times of hurt through the balm of His Word. You believed in the light of day; will you still believe at midnight? Search the Scriptures with Dr. Pritchard for words of encouragement and hope. Put your confidence in the God who sorrowfully watched His Son suffer at Calvary for your benefit. Know that the same loving heavenly Father has everything completely under control. He is with you and longs to comfort you as you struggle through your hard times. Take a tell-tale look at your devotion to the Lord and His never-ending love and commitment to you in Keep Believing. You served God in the sunshine; will you now serve him in the shadows?

From the author of MY EYES ARE BLACK HOLES: "In the shadow of the Sea, one should expect a rebirth, again and again. One should expect to be pressed into Her clay and molded, shaped, throughout a lifetime. Throughout eternity. And there, again, so was I."On the bone-sand shores of the Salton Sea, a man's faith is tested. There, in a sunbaked desert land, he gives himself over to the Sea, for She is the soul's salvation. She is the source of everlasting freedom, this accidental lake, this manufactured God. Daily he baptizes in Her thick waters and watches his hands crystalize from the salt. Daily he cleanses his lungs with the stench left behind by floating islands of rotting fish on Her surfaces. To Outsiders, the Salton Sea, and the lawless squatter's town of Slab City where he lives, are eyesores. Something to be ignored or forgotten. But he knows She's special. And he's going to tell the world about it. He spends sleepless nights awaiting Her Word so that he may write it down. He gathers together The People of the Salton Sea so that they may sing songs of Her, worship Her, and follow with reverence and obedience. When the Sea orders him to write a book, he does, and distributes it. But soon his little group of believers is overwhelmed by a swarm of people that threatens to take everything away. And now the government wants to sell the land out from under them and displace them all. Desperate for a sign, desperate to know which path to lead his people on, he discovers the Sea relishes in his pain and sacrifice. Has he sacrificed too much? And what will the Law make of those sacrifices? The Sea always leads him toward the light. But at the heart of the Sea, a fearsome monster stirs. When the sleeping giant awakes, will he be left with nothing? Or will the Sea fulfill his every desire
