#1:

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

Eugene Peterson

*** $4.99 ***

 
“I thank God for A Long Obedience. It is a pioneer message, first coming to us at a time when no one was talking about either ‘long’ or ‘obedience.’ And while, thankfully, others have added their voices in the intervening years, A Long Obedience retains its prophetic edge for us who live in the twenty-first century. Rooted in the ancient psalmist’s Songs of Ascents it invites us to journey with Jesus into the rich spiritual landscape of ‘righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.'”
— Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline and Streams of Living Water

#2:

Radiant Church: Restoring the Credibility of Our Witness

Tara Beth Leach

*** $3.99 ***

 
“I’ve had the privilege of being in the room when Tara Beth Leach talks about the church. She herself is radiant, not only describing but embodying the radiant beauty of the bride of Christ. It makes us want to see what she sees and love what she loves. Radiant Church draws us into that vision, being honest about what is broken in the church and at the same time lovingly reminding the weary church of her true character and mission.”
— Mandy Smith, pastor and author of The Vulnerable Pastor

#3:

Fidelity: Five Stories

Wendell Berry

*** $1.99 ***

“Berry richly evokes Port William’s farmlands and hamlets, and his characters are fiercely individual, yet mutually protective in everything they do. . . . His sentences are exquisitely constructed, suggesting the cyclic rhythms of his agrarian world.” —New York Times Book Review

#4:

The Namesake: A Novel

Jhumpa Lahiri

*** $2.99 ***

 
This poignant treatment of the immigrant experience is a rich, stimulating fusion of authentic emotion, ironic observation, and revealing details.
Library Journal

#5:

No Longer Strangers: Finding Belonging in a World of Alienation

Gregory Coles

*** $3.99 ***

“Equal parts delightful and sobering, Greg Coles relates his experience of being a third-culture kid to the alienness of the Christian life. Self-deprecating without victimizing himself for all the ways he’s felt different or out of place, he levels the ground for all of us who have always felt a little extra or a lot not enough. Come for the stories, and leave with a bit more hope for the future church and all the different ways Christ draws us in and sends us out.”
— Lore Ferguson Wilbert, author of Handle with Care: How Jesus Redeems the Power of Touch in Life and Ministry
