Without Oars
Casting Off into a Life of Pilgrimage
Wesley Granberg-Michaelson
9781506464343
The way of the pilgrim begins with what we leave behind—not so much a journey to a holy place, but a holy practice of leaving the comforts of the familiar for a radical vulnerability. In Without Oars, Wesley Granberg-Michaelson blends history, storytelling, biblical insights, personal reflections, and spiritual formation in an inviting call to discover pilgrimage as a way of life. It offers a unique perspective on the faith journey as an embodied practice of heading into the unknown and unknowable—with all the excitement, risk, and rewards that come with letting go.

Martin Luther King Jr.
9780800697402
In these short meditative and sermonic pieces, some of them composed in jail and all of them crafted during the tumultuous years of the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, Dr. King articulated and espoused in a deeply personal and compelling way his commitment to justice and to the intellectual, moral, and spiritual conversion that makes his work as much a blueprint for Christian discipleship today as it was then.

Seculosity
David Zahl
9781506467641
In our striving, we are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. Today, we look to various passions—from eating to parenting to voting—for the meaning once provided on Sunday morning. Seculosity takes a thoughtful yet entertaining tour of American "performancism." Ultimately, Zahl brings us to a fresh appreciation for the grace of God in all its countercultural wonder.

Fierce
Women of the Bible and Their Stories of Violence, Mercy, Bravery, Wisdom, Sex, and Salvation
Alice Connor

Women in the Bible aren't shy or retiring; they're fierce and funny and demanding and relevant to 21st-century people.
