Logan Mehl-Laituri grew up in a community that celebrated military service. His faith reinforced his ...             Green Revolution: Coming Together to Care for Creation Ben Lowe IVP Books, 2009 We are facing planet-sized challenges. Climate change and environmental crises can be pretty immobilizing, and we can fall into the temptation of thinking that we can't make a difference.

In what can be termed lyrical theology, Jesus for President poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message. It is a collaboration of ...             Common Prayer Pocket Edition: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove Zondervan, 2012 Common Prayer Pocket Edition helps individuals and today's diverse church pray together across traditions and denominations.

That sounds good, but does it work in a world where seeds are genetically altered by an impatient few and hard to come by for countless others?

And can such a little bit of ...             Divine Rebels: American Christian Activists for Social Justice Deena Guzder Chicago Review Press, 2011 Divine Rebels chronicles the extraordinary efforts of American Christian activists who agitate for a world free of racism, patriarchy, bigotry, retribution, ecocide, torture, poverty, and militarism.  While pundits speak of the “Religious Right,” this is the underreported story of American Christians who are progressive because they are religious. They don’t see themselves simply performing good work, but Godly work.

In this urgent, provocative book, Ash Barker offers both challenge and hope. Pulling out and reflecting on ...             Enough: Contentment in an Age of Excess David C.
