SACRED DECISIONS
Consensus in Faith Communities
MARCIA J . PATTON AND NORA J . PERCIVAL
This book offers congregational leaders and others the opportunity to explore and implement consensus as a decisionmaking model . Authors Marcia J . Patton and Nora J . Percival clearly state what consensus is and what it is not . They provide a “how-to” resource for persons who want to change how their groups make decisions . Although voting, the “holy way,” the “majority rule,” and Robert’s Rules of Order are deeply entrenched in this country, a consensus is another way to think through, discuss, feel, and arrive at a decision . Patton and Percival provide real-life examples, planning and meeting ideas, and essential steps to develop a consensus decision-making model .

MAKING SPACE AT THE WELL
Mental Health and the Church
JESSICA YOUNG BROWN, PhD; FOREWORD BY MICAH L . McCREARY
When it comes to ministry related to mental health concerns, prayer and Scripture are not enough.
Beginning with the biblical motif of going to the village well for the waters thatsustainlifeandexploringthecommunalsignificanceofthatwell, pastor, professor, and clinical psychologist Jessica Young Brown calls on the black church to rally its historic resilience and creativity to acknowledge and engage those in its pews who are struggling with mental health concerns . Using the acronym of SPACE, the author discusses:
• SilencingtheStigma―namingthenegativeattitudesandmistaken assumptions about mental illness, especially in the African American community • PresenceandPersistence―identifyingtheimportanceofauthentic relationships in healing mind and spirit • ApplicationandAction―highlightingpracticalstepstoaddressneedsas they emerge • CautionsandCrises―beingrealaboutthefearsandrisksrelatedto mental health crises, including the importance of referrals • ExpressionandExhortation―callingontheculturalpoweroftestimony to encourage the entire congregation to access the healing power of God
Rev . Dr . Young Brown concludes with a practical exploration of “Now What? Digging the Well and Drawing from It .” The book’s appendix features a brief primer on common mental disorders that frequently affect members of our family, neighborhood, and church .

EXPLORING THEOLOGIES OF LIBERATION
MARVIN A . McMICKLE
From pastor, scholar, and best-selling author Marvin McMickle comes this new volume that considers the evolution of liberation theologies in their historic and cultural contexts . Beginning with his own formative experiences with the black theology of James Cone, the author explores the socioeconomic implications of Latino/a liberation theologies, and considers in depth the theologies of feminist scholars, womanist theologians, and women in ministry . More than a chronological history or intellectual analysis, this book breathes with lived faith and practical theology, acknowledging the contexts out of which theologies of liberation emerge and the transforming impact they have on the social and political lives of Christians today .

TAKING APART BOOTSTRAP THEOLOGY
GOSPEL OF GENEROSITY AND JUSTICE
TERRELL CARTER
Professor and pastor Terrell Carter unites scholarly critique with practical wisdom in this new book that exposes the racist and classist assumptions entangled in the rugged individualism of what he calls “bootstrap theology .” Dismantling both the impossible idiom of “pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps” and the social theory of Marx’s Protestant Work Ethic, Carter challenges the academy and church to advance a more faithful gospel, one that extends a spirit of generosity and a call to social justice for all God’s people, especially the most vulnerable .
