Lauren Winner 

Yale UP (September )

Sometimes, beloved and treasured Christian practices go horrifyingly wrong, extending violence rather than promoting its healing. In this bracing book, Lauren Winner provocatively challenges the assumption that the church possesses a set of immaculate practices that will definitionally train Christians in virtue and that can’t be answerable to their histories.

Grace Ji-Sun Kim

IVP Book (September)

“The crucial matter today for Christian discipleship is not what you practice but who you practice with.”  – Willie James Jennings, from the foreword.
Many other books of the past and present focus on what we practice, but these books consistently fail to emphasize who you practice it with.

Michael Goheen

Baker Academic ( October )

Lesslie Newbigin, one of the twentieth century’s most important church leaders, offered insights on the church in a pluralistic world that are arguably more relevant now than when first written. This volume presents his ecclesiology to a new generation. Michael Goheen clearly articulates Newbigin’s missionary understanding of the church and places it in the context of Newbigin’s core theological convictions.
