Book Description
Being a priest is likened to being a shepherd. People do, from time to time, need a poke here or a prod there. But mostly, they need to know someone is watching out for them. Rev. William Billow has been that gentle guiding hand for multiple communities across the nation, but he is best known for his services in Washington, DC, from St. Albans School to Washington Cathedral. He practices “the ministry of presence,” witnessing and overseeing the baptisms, weddings, and funerals of the members of his flocks. As he moves from community to community, his story does not fail to enlighten and inspire.

Book Description
Taking as its theme 'beauty from ashes' the beautiful image from Isaiah 61:3, All the Beautiful Things: Finding Truth, Beauty and Goodness in a Fractured Church is written at a time when the Catholic Church and its people are reeling from years of scandal. This book asks questions throughout and attempts to answer them based on the author's lived experience; but it also engages a wide range of conversation partners. These answers are the result of interviews, surveys and conversations with people who love the Church, but seek reform and renewal. It is a 'cri de coeur', a cry of the heart to try to reclaim what has been lost. It is a taking up of a cross and walking on a journey paved with all manner of challenge. In the end, the author's hope is to help others to rediscover the truth, beauty and goodness that still exist within Catholicism.

Reviews of the two-volume New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, 2005: The king is dead. Long live the king! The old Partridge is not really dead; it remains the best record of British slang antedating 1945 Now, however, the preferred source for information about English slang of the past 60 years is the New Partridge.

Book Description
The world is a dangerous place. Enemies lurk in all corners-in our churches and in the world. Their faces are different, but they are equally deceptive. We must learn to recognize the enemies before our minds are twisted by their ungodly concepts. Some enemies come in the form of popular Christian concepts that are not truly biblical, such as QUICK-FIX FAITH FEELING-ONLY FAITH ONE-SIDED FAITH SPIRITUAL SUPERIORITY Other enemies are the common notions we absorb from our world, such as SELF-RELIANCE AFFLUENZA SHALLOW CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PRIVATIZED FAITH In this book Don Posterski offers sound counsel in learning to be ''wise as serpents and innocent as doves.'' Ultimately, we need not simply to resist but to love our enemies, and Posterski helps us find strategies for relating to and living among enemies with smiling faces.

Book Description
What is it like to be a preacher or rabbi who no longer believes in God? In this expanded and updated edition of their groundbreaking study, Daniel C. Dennett and Linda LaScola comprehensively and sensitively expose an inconvenient truth that religious institutions face in the new transparency of the information age—the phenomenon of clergy who no longer believe what they publicly preach. In confidential interviews, clergy from across the ministerial spectrum—from liberal to literal—reveal how their lives of religious service and study have led them to a truth inimical to their professed beliefs and profession. Although their personal stories are as varied as the denominations they once represented, or continue to represent—whether Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Mormon, Pentecostal, or any of numerous others—they give voice not only to their own struggles but also to those who similarly suffer in tender and lonely silence. As this study poignantly and vividly reveals, their common journey has far-reaching implications not only for their families, their congregations, and their communities—but also for the very future of religion.

Book Description
This all new collection of prayers will involve each member of your congregation in an informal, first-person personal style that both demands individual accountability (which corporate prayer too often allows us to avoid), and encourages the sense of community upon which Christian worship is built -- affirming "that, as we gather for worship, we are both individual seekers and believers and also the Body of Christ." Included are original Prayers of Confession for each Sunday, and special days, throughout the church year, developed as a result of the author's nearly twenty years in campus and parish ministries. Whether read aloud or contemplated silently, these tried and proven prayers will add a freshly honest, contemporary texture to your Sunday morning worship -- or provide meaningful insight for Bible study classes and personal devotions. David L. Wade is pastor of the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, of Rock Springs, Wyoming. He is a graduate of Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana; Eden Theological Seminary, Webster Groves, Missouri; and Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. In addition to serving parishes of the United Church of Christ in Indiana, he was an Ecumenical Campus Minister at Ball State University for thirteen years prior to assuming his present position.
