The Creative Way Down: Surrender Workbook, by Danielle Strickland and Aaron White

WHAT IF WE REALLY FOLLOWED JESUS?

This is a frightening idea, not least because Jesus’ own life ended with violence and apparent failure. Why would we wish to follow this example? Yet there is something about his life that continues to capture our hearts. Something integral. Something coherent. Something good. Something we want to join in and experience more deeply, even if it disrupts everything else in our lives.

How to Bloom, by Dagmar Morgan-Sinclair

How to Bloom is a powerful poetry collection about grief, voice, and becoming whole after loss. Through vivid imagery and unflinching honesty, Dagmar Morgan-Sinclair explores what it means to live in a body shaped by memory, silence, love, and resilience.

Rooted in themes of womanhood, faith, trauma, and renewal, these poems move through mourning and rage toward tenderness and self-possession. Soil, storms, birds, and houses become metaphors for healing—showing how growth can happen even in fractured ground.

Both intimate and expansive, How to Bloom speaks to readers who have survived what should have broken them and are still learning how to take up space.

This collection is for anyone who has felt buried, underestimated, or silenced—and is ready to remember that they were always meant to grow.

Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming How to Bloom Course and Cohort!

Need to Know: Empowering Female Leadership, curated by Danielle Strickland

CHANGE REQUIRES US TO LISTEN TO VOICES OUTSIDE OF OUR NORM.

Our church is grappling with a crisis marked by declining attendance, political polarization, and culture wars. Amidst this crisis is the persistent exclusion of women. How can we truly embody Jesus’ vision for the church when we silence and sideline over half the congregation? Even when women are permitted to lead, they are frequently overlooked and left out of decision-making. The result? A depleted church with women leaving in droves.

Need to Know draws on the perspectives of twenty-one authors—a diverse company of predominantly female voices who impart personal experience, theological analysis, and historical study. They challenge the prevailing structures, examine the benefits of empowering leadership, and envision a future where women and men lead together. This book is an essential resource for every church leader to create a more equitable and thriving church.

This book is an excellent companion to the Gamechanger: Need to Know course.

A New Christian Manifesto, by Bob Ekblad

Bob Ekblad delivers a radical new reading of the Lord's Prayer by arguing that there are earthly power structures and allegiances that prevent God's kingdom from coming "on earth as in heaven." Drawing on his experiences in ministry with marginalized people and his understanding of the Bible, Ekblad calls the church to follow Jesus by seeking its own deliverance from these structures, and to recognize people on the margins as the most receptive to becoming agents of transformation. A New Christian Manifesto urges Christians to break down barriers to join Jesus in a movement that includes recruiting, healing, empowering, and setting out to achieve an ultimate victory of the cross.

This book is essential reading alongside our course with Bob Ekblad: Jesus Or Nationalism

Preaching in a New Key, by Mark Glanville

An Expository Preaching Guidebook for Post-Christian Communities

Preaching must connect with its hearers. As the perception of the pastor has changed in recent years, and as congregations battle with increasing doubt, preaching appealing solely to rationality doesn't resonate in the same way as it once did. Post-Christian generations find themselves looking less for a charismatic authority figure and more for healthy leaders who are relationally connected to their neighborhood.

Scholar and pastor Mark Glanville provides a fresh look into the art of crafting sermons for post-Christian contexts. Preaching in a New Key teaches expository preaching integrated with creativity, cultural discernment, pastoral health, justice, missiology, and more. 

This book goes along with our course with Dr. Mark Glanville: Preaching in a New Key

The Relationship Guide for Single People, by Aukelien van Abbema

"Books on how to be single, or how to be a more complete person yourself? Check. Books on marital issues and long term relationships? Check. But books on getting from A to B? I could not find them when I was looking to date. And I so desperately needed advice. Not from the perspective of an actual clinical psychologist, let alone couples counsellor. So I wrote this book."

Aukelien van Abbema MSc is a Dutch licensed clinical psychologist and an ICEEFT registered Emotionally Focused couples counsellor. She has written this book after discovering dating and the first steps into a relationship from an attachment perspective. The fundamental elements for building a safe attachment relationship from the start are known and can be learned. This book provides all the information single people need to start dating in a healthy, meaningful way to find a love relationship that will last. 

This book accompanies our Relationship Guide for Single People Course with Aukelien van Abbema.

Surviving Christianity Unmarried: A Theology of Singleness That Isn't Looking for its Cure, by Karissa Sovdi

The Justice of Jesus: Reimagining Your Church's Life Together to Pursue Liberation and Wholeness, by Rev Joash P. Thomas

What if the way we've been taught to follow Jesus is missing something essential? What if there's more to the gospel than we've experienced--something that could revolutionize how we love our neighbors and serve our communities?

In The Justice of Jesus, public theologian and international speaker Joash Thomas reveals how authentic biblical faith naturally leads to caring for the vulnerable and working for positive change in our neighborhoods. Drawing from his unique perspective serving in churches across different cultures and continents, Thomas shows how justice isn't just a "social issue"--it's at the very heart of what it means to follow Christ. Whether you're a pastor, small group leader, or simply want to make a real difference in your community, this book offers practical wisdom you can actually use.

The Liberating Truth: How Jesus Empowers Women, by Danielle Strickland

In short chapters full of memorable personal stories Danielle Strickland challenges us to take seriously our reading of the Gospels and the consequences of that reading. Strickland exposes the lie that debates regarding women’s positions in the church and in life are academic exercises conducted by theologians with no impact on the day-to-day lives of women and the lie that the debate is even about gender.

Strickland starts with stories of women in subjugation--women who are considered property, or have been told to remain in abusive relationships, or face extensive cultural restrictions.These are women she has met as she serves around the world for the Salvation Amy. She calls us to know each woman as she meets Jesus and by her spiritual gifts―not by a culturally defined category.

After tackling overt cases of oppression of women, Strickland confronts the subtleties of gender inequality in the Western world. Laying open the Bible and inviting all to come, she thoughtfully outlines the positions regarding gender equality and reviews related passages of Scripture. Using her gift as an evangelist along with the guiding of Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience, she makes her case that the more women are empowered to be true equals to men, the closer we bring the Kingdom of God.
