De-Westernizing Spiritual Formation
In Our Unforming: De-Westernizing Spiritual Formation, Cindy S.

Preaching on Special Occasions
In For Every Matter under Heaven: Preaching on Special Occasions, Beverly Zink-Sawyer and Donna Giver-Johnston offer a process for creating biblically grounded, relevant sermons for events that arise from calendars, celebrations, or circumstances by considering the occasion, the gathered listeners, and the ways God is at work in that season.

Who They Were, How They’ve Been Remembered, and Why They Still Fascinate
The Magi examines the Magi story, its enrichments and expansions in apocryphal writing and early Christian preaching, its artistic expressions, and its modern legacy in writing and music.
