paperbackThe Dangerous Act of Worship
Living God's Call to Justice
by Mark Labberton
Foreword by John OrtbergWhat's at stake in our worship? Everything. Worship is the dangerous act of waking up to God and God's purposes in the world. But something has gone wrong with our worship.

Mobilizing the Church in Service to the World
by Rev. Alexia Salvatierra and Peter Heltzel

But what if Christians were to shape their organizing around ...

Why We Stay Silent and How to Speak Up
