Vulnerable God: How Jesus Upends Our Assumptions About God—and Shows Us How to Be Human
Kenneth Tanner
(Brazos Press)
Discover the God Who Became Fully Human–and What That Means for Your Faith
The mystery of God made flesh isn’t just doctrine. It’s an invitation to reimagine both God and ourselves.
In Vulnerable God, pastor and theologian Kenneth Tanner offers a rich meditation on the incarnation. Tracing the events of Jesus’s life as told in the Bible and the rhythms of the church year, Tanner invites us to recapture our wonder that God has become human–to discover what Christ’s vulnerability reveals about the heart of God and how the full humanity of Jesus transforms our lives. This book explores
● how vulnerability is not a flaw but the very glory of divine love;
● what it means to be fully human the way God is human; and
● how Jesus shows us God’s true character through service and surrender.
Full of poetic depth and pastoral warmth, Vulnerable God is for those looking to recapture a gentler, more human faith rooted in humility and wonder. Including a foreword by Brian Zahnd, this thoughtful companion is ideal for seasons of reflection and rediscovery.

The Art of Creaturely Life: Bonhoeffer, Discipleship, and Ecological Faith
Derek W. Taylor
( Fortress Press )
“How will the coming generations go on living?” This haunting question, posed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer during the darkest days of World War II, takes on fresh urgency in our age of climate crisis. Today, under its long shadow, we find ourselves gripped by the same uncertainty Bonhoeffer knew well.
In The Art of Creaturely Life, Derek W. Taylor shows how Bonhoeffer’s theology, forged within his context of crisis, offers resources for navigating our own. At its heart lies a vision of God’s creative and redemptive grace. The future rests in God’s hands. Rather than leading to apathy or defeatism, this realization opens new avenues of human responsibility. If God is the Creator, we are freed to be mere creatures.
Jesus of Nazareth leads the way. In his life of authentic human creatureliness, creation itself is healed. To follow him is to step into new creation. Discipleship therefore calls us to turn from destructive, god-like ambitions and instead embrace the dependence, humility, limitedness, attentiveness, delight, and hope that mark our creaturely form. In walking the path of Jesus, we relearn the art of creaturely life.
What emerges is a work of resistance–not against ecological degradation itself, but against the distorted vision of humanity that drives it. By placing Bonhoeffer in dialogue with other disciplines–from ecotheology and agrarianism to existential philosophy and postcolonial studies–this book cultivates the theological imagination needed to sustain a life of creaturely resistance in a time when creation’s groaning seems louder than ever.
