Here is our list of 2014′s Englewood Honor Books, the 25 Best Books of the year for the life and flourishing of the Church.
Our criterion both for selecting books to review and for honoring the year’s best books is to choose books that are “for the life and flourishing of the Church” – i.e., books that energize us to be the local community of God’s people that God has called us to be and that nurture our mission of following in the way of God’s reconciliation of all things (in all its broadness!).

But ultimately it was more satisfying to pursue Cairns’s words the way he pursues the Holy One, the Inexhaustible, the “Forever Forgiving Forgone (sans conclusion)” – with openness and curiosity, willing to receive whatever encounter with the Holy might result.” – MaryAnn McKibben Dana Also winning: |
