#1:
Reading Evangelicals: How Christian Fiction Shaped a Culture and a Faith
Daniel Silliman
*** $4.99 ***
“The clever double entendre of Daniel Silliman’s title is more than matched by the insights and sheer readability of the book itself. Its patient account of million-selling evangelical novels is full of unusual wisdom about the authors of these books, but also their publishers, the bookstores that sold them, and (not least) the multitudes who have read them. Silliman’s depiction of American evangelicalism as an ‘imagined community’ defined in large part by these best sellers is thought-provoking in the best way possible.” — Mark A. Noll, author of A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada
#2:
We Will Feast: Rethinking Dinner, Worship, and the Community of God
Kendall Vanderslice
*** $2.51 ***
“In her examination of the dinner-church movement, Kendall Vanderslice treats us to the written equivalent of a pleasant, nourishing meal. She’s good, thoughtful company, and she sets a generous, inclusive table. Crucially, she reminds us that food and the table and the feast aren’t just evocative metaphors or stirring biblical imagery. We need them–and we need each other–to live.”
– Jeff Chu, author of Does Jesus Really Love Me?

Interrupting Silence: God’s Command to Speak Out
Walter Brueggemann
*** $2.99 ***
Silence is a complex matter. It can refer to awe before unutterable holiness, but it can also refer to the coercion where some voices are silenced in the interest of control by the dominant voices. It is the latter silence that Walter Brueggemann explores, urging us to speak up in situations of injustice.
#4:
How (Not) To Be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor
James K.A. Smith
*** $4.99 ***
“This is a brilliant, beautifully written book on the dilemma of faith in a modern secular age. It introduces the reader to the material in Taylor’s dense book, of course, but it does more. It invites the reader on a journey through the experience of the spirit in different centuries, and how our conceptions of mind and person shape belief in ways far more intimate than we usually imagine. How (Not) to Be Secular is a gem.” —T. M. Luhrmann
—Stanford University
#5:
After Evangelicalism: The Path to a New Christianity
David Gushee
*** $3.99 ***
“After Evangelicalism is essential reading for those who have found white evangelicalism wanting. Drawing on his own spiritual journey, David Gushee provides an incisive critique of American evangelicalism. But this is not ultimately a work of deconstruction. Gushee offers a succinct yet deeply informed guide for post-evangelicals seeking to pursue Christ-honoring lives, and he does this with such eloquence that the book transcends its immediate purpose and speaks compellingly to all who are exploring how to be Christian in these times.” Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Professor of History, Calvin University, and author of Jesus and John Wayne
