Reflections on Community Development and Urban Renewal
by Robert D. Lupton

paperbackThe Leadership Ellipse
Shaping How We Lead by Who We Are
by Robert A. Fryling

The irony is that Pietism from the beginning "was intimately bound up with education," according to Diarmaid MacCulloch. But until now there ...

by Samuel A. Meier
We meet the prophets of Israel in our own time and in one place--Scripture. So it might seem odd to consider that they are not all the same, these voices from "back then."

Grieving the heart-breaking conclusion of what she'd believed was her life-long calling, Wetherell Johnson's journey home to England collided with a Divine appointment when five California women asked her to ...
