Each week, we carefully curate a handful of books for church leaders that orient us toward the health and the flourishing of our congregations.
#1:
The Bonhoeffer Reader
Clifford J. Green and Michael P. DeJonge
*** $5.99 ***
For the first time in nearly 20 years, the essential theological writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer have been drawn together in a helpful and concise one-volume format. The Bonhoeffer Reader brings the best English translation to readers, students, and scholars and provides a ready-made introduction to the thought of this essential thinker.
#2:
Hannah’s Child: A Theologian’s Memoir
Stanley Hauerwas
*** $5.00 ***
A rural Texas boy grows up to become Time magazine’s “best theologian in America”-that’s the unlikely story behind Hauerwas’s arguably destined journey to academic fame. Hauerwas (Resident Aliens) learns that his mother, like Hannah in the Book of Samuel, prayed for the blessing of a child whom she would offer to be in God’s service. The theologian then weaves a compelling narrative that incorporates his humble beginnings as the son of a bricklayer, his troubled first marriage to a mentally ill woman, and his industrious intellectual pursuits. The result is a memoir that is both a well-documented story of Christian renewal and a superbly candid investigation into the scholarly mind. Fans of Christian memoirs will be pleased with Hauerwas’s frank yet poignant style, and those who are simply fans of the memoir genre will find the book’s careful blend of faith and scholarship easily accessible and far from didactic.

Good Works: Hospitality and Faithful Discipleship
Christine Pohl & Keith Wasserman
*** $4.25 ***
“Good Works offers a profound paradigm for ministry whereby work with those at the margins is only ‘good’ to the extent that our own character and relationships with God and others are good. Turning the usual metrics upside down with refreshing power, Good Works illuminates the profound difference between ministry and social service agency.” — Chris Rice
coauthor, with Emmanuel Katongole, of Reconciling All Things: A Christian Vision for Justice, Peace and Healing
#4:
Ilsa: A Novel
Madeleine L’Engle
*** $2.99 ***
“Dominated by an all pervasive, if tenuous, atmosphere, this is a study in place and personality, a still life of the south in all its inertia and its persistence for the past. . . . There is considerable charm here, an effectiveness compounded of subtlety and indirection, giving this a very definite appeal for discerning readers.”
—Kirkus Reviews
#5:
The Way of Silence: Engaging the Sacred in Daily Life
David Steindl-Rast
*** $2.99 ***
The Way of Silence draws heavily on Buddhist teachings to cultivate the practice of “deep” listening: turning away from noise and distraction, paying attention, and embracing quiet. The Way of Silence embraces paradox: absence versus presence in silence. Dynamic tranquility. The all-oneness of aloneness. Humbly, trusting in God, you’ll practice emptying your mind in order to receive wisdom, insight, and understanding. You’ll learn to listen deeply, with a trusting heart—and you’ll joyously discover a new, interior freedom that will make you feel more vibrant, and more fully alive.
