“There are those who write about art-making as if they’re detailing the techniques of a heart surgeon. Then there are those, like Madeleine L’Engle, who simply show you their heart. Like the words of Jesus to the fisherman brothers, the words of Madeleine are ‘follow me’ words. Through the pages of Walking on Water hungry, thirsty folks have been following for two decades–quickly recognizing that the reason Madeleine is worth following is that she follows Jesus.” –Charlie Peacock

#4:
Theology and Science Fiction (Cascade Companions)
James McGrath
*** $2.99 ***
“Those of us who enjoy science fiction take its nature very seriously. And those of us who are excited by Christian faith take the Bible very seriously. There is therefore no better commentator to explore the relationship between theology and science fiction than James McGrath, a serious biblical scholar and science fiction fan who embodies the joy and excitement of the relationship in this accessible and insightful book.” –David Wilkinson, Principal of St. John’s College, Durham University
#5:
The Borders of Baptism: Identities, Allegiances, and the Church
Michael Budde
*** $2.99 ***
“What would it look like if Christians took their baptisms and baptismal vows seriously, not just in so-called ‘spiritual’ matters, but in every aspect of life? With his usual wit and clarity Michael Budde shows us some of the ways that baptism intersects with issues of immigration, race, national identity, class, and globalization. A must read for those who take ecclesial solidarity and discipleship as their defining loyalty.” – Barry Harvey, Baylor University
