paperbackPartnering with the Global Church
Urbana Onward
by Nikki A. Toyama-Szeto and Femi B. Adeleye
In our globally interconnected world, mission depends on healthy partnerships across the globe. Many talk about wanting to partner with the Global South, but we're not always sure what that looks like on the ground. Too often North Americans have acted as if we don't need others to do what we think God has called us to do. And our witness overseas has suffered as a result. We need to live out a ...

Toward an Understanding of the Mother of Our Lord
by Tim Perry

Is Mary for evangelicals? Should there be such a thing as an evangelical Mariology? Is she Our Lady, too?

How Ordinary People Can Change the World
by Leroy Barber
Foreword by Chris SeayIt's not every day that you get a visit from God. Burning bushes, ladders to heaven, chariots of fire and all that--we look for those stories in the Bible, and we look for them in our lives. When it comes to something as important as what we do with our lives, we think, maybe God owes us a big event. But, as Leroy Barber has learned through his work in inner cities and with young people, that's ...
