Baptists, Jews, and the Holocaust The Hand of Sincere Friendship

Lee B. Spitzer; Foreword by Reid S. Trulson

A thorough narrative history that explores the previously unknown work of Baptists in the United States during the Second World War. How did US Baptists respond to Jews at home and abroad, especially as anti-Semitism grew and reports of the genocide overseas reached our shores? Rich with primary source material and covering the history of Northern (American) Baptists, Southern Baptists, and African American Baptists alike, this ground-breaking volume is a must-read for church historians, Holocaust scholars, Baptist history buffs, and anyone interested in interfaith relations.

Key Features: • Were US Baptists anti-Semitic?

• Did US Baptists care about the Jewish situation, at home or in Europe?

• How did US Baptists respond as news of persecution, pogroms, and concentration camps spread?

• Was the “hand of friendship” offered by US Baptists to the Jewish people sincere or substantive?

Prayer Available October 2017

The Revolutionary Power of the Lord’s Prayer Alice Burnette Greene

“Teach us to pray,” the disciples implored Jesus, and he responded promptly with a deceptively simple but significant model for prayer. When Christians begin to understand why Jesus chose the precise words of this potent prayer, the true power of the Lord’s Prayer will be released to change the Christian faith. Not only will Christianity be revolutionized, Christians themselves will become empowered to revolutionize the world. A resource for individual study and small group action, exploring the practical and transforming potential of the prayer as recorded in Luke 11. Each chapter focuses on a particular phrase—and explores its impact for ministries of service, healing, and justice.

Key Features: • In-depth exploration of Luke’s version of the Lord’s Prayer • Connections with contemporary social justice issues • Deepening exercises for personal reflection and small-group discussion • Online Leader’s Guide for group study 978-0-8170-1785-9 $15.99

Christian Living Grief/Death/dying

Still a Mother

Journeys through Perinatal Bereavement Joy M. Freeman & Tabatha D. Johnson, editors

More than 1 million women suffer fetal loss each year, yet most mothers will struggle to find words to share their grief or describe their experience. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death can be incredibly isolating, with women feeling silenced by shame or guilt, by confusion and loss of control. Still a Mother is a collection of incredibly honest, personal narratives written by clergywomen who have experienced perinatal or early infant loss. Chaplains Joy Freeman and Tabatha Johnson share their own experiences, and the stories of others, with grief, feelings about God and ministry, and what ultimately is helping them heal. By sharing their stories, they let other women know they are not alone, ending the silence and helping to equip pastors, congregations, family, and friends in ministering more compassionately to mothers who grieve.

Key Features: • A unique resource that fills a gap on the taboo topic of perinatal and early infant loss • An insightful resource for clergy who minister to women grieving miscarriage or early infant loss • Features practical insights for pastoral care, congregational compassion, and personal support in each chapter • Powerful and poignant, offers empathy, understanding, consolation, and a sense of companionship in bereavement to grieving mothers themselves 978-0-8170-1768-2 $15.99

Christian Education Leadership/Teaching

Fostering Faith

Teaching & Learning in the Christian Church Denise Janssen with Diane Janssen Hemmen and Sallie Verner

Inspired by an expressed need of Christian education leaders, Fostering Faith reaches far beyond the Sunday school hour or midweek Bible study. It proposes a shift from viewing education as “schooling,” with a goal to increase the learners’ knowledge, to a holistic model of education as transformation, which equips and empowers Christian disciples for ministry.

Valuable for clergy, lay leaders, and education ministry members, Fostering Faith seeks to strengthen the vital role teachers play in the church and in the world as learners and disciples themselves.

Features an educational ministry toolbox with practical materials for teacher selection and evaluation, policies and procedures, classroom and teaching aids, and more.

Key Features: • Highlights the concept that in Christian education, the goal is transforming through discernment and exploration of ideas and experiences, rather than supplying information to answer questions • Presents dual perspectives of teaching—as formal ministry in the church and as an organic process as congregations live out their mission • Contains practical appendices with adaptable resources for Christian education committees and teachers 978-0-8170-1749-1 $14.99

Messages in a Minor Key Prophetic Faith for Anxious Times David J. Crowley

The economy is struggling. Nations are warring. Religious leaders fall short of the integrity of their calling. God’s people have good reason to cry out to the Lord, to wonder what it all means and where God is at work in these anxious times. Today and in the days of the prophets of Israel and Judah, the questions and crises seem all too similar. Pastor David Crowley offers a biblical study of the Minor Prophets, who spoke to God’s people in crisis and in exile, speaking a word of prophetic challenge and resilient hope.

Intended for small groups or individual study, this resource includes questions for discussion and an online facilitator’s guide.

Key Features: • In-depth biblical study of the Minor Prophets, from Amos to Zephaniah!

• Powerful connections between the ancient context and contemporary culture • Exploration of the diverse images and metaphors of God throughout the Book of Twelve • Questions for small-group discussion and Bible study 978-0-8170-1784-2 $16.99

Jesus Stories

Traveling toward Testimony H. Stephen Shoemaker

You may have heard about the decades-old search for the “historical Jesus,” the figure who lived in first-century Galilee as best as scholars can reconstruct. And you undoubtedly know the more-than-historical Jesus, who is in search of us, known by the Spirit of God. This vital volume ushers today’s disciples on a journey that moves from history into testimony—seeking the man Jesus in order to embrace the savior we call the Risen Christ.

There is history here. There is the author’s personal testimony as well, a story of faith and experience. And there is an invitation to piece together from that history your own testimony of how you have come to recognize the historic Jesus at work in your life and faith.

Key Features: • Accessible to the general reader • Presents the historical Jesus and a consideration of the morethan-historical Jesus and his impact throughout history and in the present day • Provides a faithful portrait of Jesus’ life and ministry and its meaning to the world ALSO BY THIS AUTHOR

Welcoming Community Diversity That Works

Douglas Avilesbernal

Dramatic changes are happening in our culture and congregational life, particularly as it relates to church growth in an increasingly multicultural world where communities are often in transition.

Welcoming Community explores the biblical story of Jesus’ journey through Samaria, which led to a transformational encounter between Jesus, a Jewish rabbi, and an unnamed Samaritan woman. Discover how the story offers a model for embracing the community in which a congregation ministers by becoming a welcoming community of faith in itself.

The Fierce Urgency of Prophetic Hope Wendell L. Griffen

How can we speak of hope in a time of deep division? For social justiceminded people of faith, hope is subversive. Become energized by this collection of sermons that resist injustice and call for radical change in our world. In this prophetic collection of sermons, pastor, judge, and prophet Wendell L. Griffen challenges followers of Jesus to ponder these questions: • What does it mean to be a “prophetic follower of Jesus”?

• How will lessons in Scripture and across human history inform our action in the world?

• How can we speak of hope in a time of deep division—a time too often defined by racism, misogyny, materialism, militarism, religious nationalism, and xenophobia?

From Classism to Community A Challenge for the Church Jini Kilgore Cockroft

The poor, the underemployed, the homeless, and the mentally ill are often victims of discrimination. This “classism” exists in the Christian church as well as in the world, even though the gospel tells us that all persons are made in the image of God and that all who are transformed through faith in Jesus Christ become members of equal standing. From Classism to Community fully examines the origin of classism in the church and its influence on the development of denominations. Using Scripture, theology, sociology, and history, Rev. Dr. Cockroft presents practical insights for overcoming the barriers that separate.

Spiritual Practices for Effective Leadership 7Rs of Sanctuary for Pastors Debora Jackson

Burn out. Exhaustion. Depression. Stagnation. The demands of ministry take a toll on even the most resourceful and intentional minister.

Practical and inspirational, this book is grounded in Scripture and solid research.

Key Features: • Makes the critical link between spiritual practice and how it impacts leadership effectiveness • Provides a way-of-life process for pastoral leaders help them deepen their spiritual lives and use that deepening to impact and strengthen their effectiveness as a pastoral leader • Leverages leadership theory, Judeo-Christian scriptures, and the lived experiences of pastoral leaders to demonstrate the value of reflection as a spiritual practice and how that practice becomes a critical requirement for leadership effectiveness and spiritual well-being 978-0-8170-1758-3 $16.99

Be My Witness

The Great Commission for Preachers Marvin A. McMickle

This book addresses the unique challenge and opportunity that preachers face in declaring the gospel with power and relevance to the many concerns society faces—including issues of race, gender, and economic justice. Dr. McMickle presents a model for sermon content, context, and spiritual preparation based on Acts 1:6-8, “Be my witnesses, in Jerusalem, and in Judea, and in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Exploring these words of the Risen Christ as a Great Commission to those called to preach, the veteran pastor and professor of preaching unpacks the threefold implications of what it means to be a witness for Jesus: • Seeing something • Saying something • Suffering something

It further examines the vital role of the Spirit in becoming Christ’s witnesses in the world, and the need to broaden ministry to connect not only with our local neighborhoods but to the global community as well.

Key Features: • Discusses the instructions from Jesus to his first-century disciples, instructions that remain relevant for present-day preachers.

• Systematically breaks down the key Scripture in an accessible and practical manner.

• Examines the various implications of what it means to be a “witness”—by seeing saying, saying something about what we have seen, and being willing to suffer something for what we say.

I bring the experience to energize that transition making it painless and fun!
