Interactive, accompanied by online materials. Author is a popular blogger and scholar who has traveled the world
listening to Anglicans talk about God. The New Church’s Teaching series has been one of the most recognizable and useful sets of books in the Episcopal Church. With the launch of the Church’s

leaders have teamed up to write a new set of books, grounded and thoughtful enough for seminarians and leaders, concise and accessible enough for
newcomers, with a host of discussion resources that help readers to dig deep.
This third volume introduces Episcopal theology with the question "Can you
capture the good news of Jesus Christ in a tweet?" Author Jesse Zink thinks
so: “You are loved with a love unlike anything else—now, go show that love to
others. #grace." Oceans of meaning lie under each word, and his new book
welcomes readers into those depths. 9780819232595 $14.00

Religion / Christianity A leading thinker and vibrant presence at the intersection of church and world,
Winnie Varghese explores the “what”, “how”, and “why” of Episcopal
engagement with contemporary social issues. Like the master of the
household in Jesus’ parable (Matthew 13:52) who “brings out of his treasure
what is new and what is old,” Varghese leads readers to discover theological
resources from generations past and how they help to guide our action
around thorny issues like racial justice, gender and sexuality, economic
disparity, definitions of “family,” the environment, and much more. Winnie Varghese serves as Priest and Director of Community Outreach at
historic Trinity Episcopal Church Wall Street in New York. She is a popular
blogger on Huffington Post and gained respect for her work as rector of St.
Mark's in the Bowery, a diverse, progressive church in New York. She is the

Environment Spirituality Falling into Grace Exploring Our Inner Life with God JOHN NEWTON A focus on the Christian spiritual life from the perspective of grace, not
works. l Popular new and emerging author. l Study guide included for personal or small group reflection. l
Jesus was quite clear that we must lose our life before we find it. This book
gives a hopeful and realistic look at what losing our life entails, articulating
how “growth” in the Christian life is not our ascent to God but the process by
which our eyes are opened to the beauty God has already given to us. It is a
book about descending into God, and into our own inner depths, about the
deep waters of the Christian faith. “Put out into the deep and let your nets
down for a catch.” (Luke 5:4) We live in a world that values productivity and success, and we vainly imagine
that God expects us to be spiritually productive and successful, too. It doesn’t matter how much we talk about grace, our conversation is often narrowly
focused on what we need to do for God—so much so that we often block the
work God longs to do in us. This book does not articulate God’s work as a
process by which we become spiritually strong, but rather as the process by
which we embrace our weakness as the place where we most fully experience
God’s perfect strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). 9780819232618 $18.00

Spirituality/Discernment Gospel Memories The Future Can Rewrite Our Past JAKE OWENSBY A "new" (2012) bishop in the Episcopal Church offers hope that healing and all things are possible. l A reflective and prayerful education and formation resource for adults. l
While there is truth in the idea that our past shapes our future, the gospel is
all about the counter-intuitive promise that God is shaping us right now toward God's vision of who we will become. It is not our past that makes us into the
image of God; God's redeeming love does that. In God, who we are not yet is
shaping who we become. Appealing to anyone drawn to a deeper understanding of their own story and
a richer sense of God’s transforming presence, this book will have special
resonance for people at turning points in their lives. Career changes, loss of a loved one, graduation, illness, divorce, birth of a child, entering middle or
later years: Life is filled with turning points at which we feel compelled to tell
our story in a new and different way. Each chapter focuses on a gospel
passage, leading to a reflection on a significant point in the author's life which uncovers deeper and more personal meaning in the biblical text. Questions
conclude each chapter, engaging readers to look at their own lives—good and
bad—and find God, experiencing the joy, surprise, and healing of God's future rewriting the past. 9780819232656

Environment Youth Devotional Cross Words A Devotional for Youth DUANA CISNEY Foreword by Jenifer Gamber
l Daily devotional for youth from a mainline, liturgical perspective. l Approachable language and space for their own reflections. Youth (and their parents, mentors, and leaders) are continually seeking a
devotional from a mainline Christian perspective that honors them. Different
than many youth devotionals, which use punitive language and the context of
purity, Cross Words is a devotional for students that is engaging and realistic
about their brokenness alongside God’s redeeming grace and forgiveness. It
will help them walk through the daily blessings and challenges of life, offering
opportunities to consider how their faith might be strengthened through those
experiences. Each week offers a brief reflection followed by a question to ponder, Scripture,
prayer, or quote to use as a daily touchstone in the coming days, set in a
format with open space for their own writing and drawing. Using approachable
wording that doesn’t require them to learn a new language in order to
understand the reflection will appeal to today's teens. Meeting young people
where they are on their journey, it can be used for personal devotion or in
educational settings, youth meetings, confirmation classes, mission trips,
pilgrimages, retreats, coffee shops, or with families around the supper table. 9780819232458 $20.00

She feels it is important for students to know they aren’t perfect, but they are
made in the image of God and that alone is wonderful. She lives in

l
Well­known, media­savvy author. Designed to address "digital contexts". Today’s church has a digital dilemma: We live in an age where “new media” is inescapable, yet many still perceive these new forms of communication as
either an unmanageable challenge or at odds with the mission of the church.
Clergy and lay leaders alike can be at a loss as to what methodologies,
practices, and adjustments are necessary to engage today’s congregations.

Religion / Christian Ministry
In Talking God, Fr. Cutié, whose wide following spans both traditional and new
media, starts where preaching the gospel has always started, with a preacher
and an audience, and examines the challenges digital communications pose
to all involved in the craft of preaching, including the way contemporary
audiences receive and listen to the message preached. Is the 21st century
church responding to this evolution by seeking to understand the present­day
"listening context" and the often overwhelming "media culture" in which it is
called to preach? Must preachers and teachers of the Word of God evolve in
style and practice to continue being effective communicators of the gospel?
Has the world changing around us changed our methodology or even our
message? Albert R. Cutié (known as "Padre Alberto") is the first member of the clergy to
conduct a daily "Talk Show" broadcast to a national and international
audience. Ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1995, Father Albert joined the
Episcopal Church in 2009 and now serves as Rector of St. Benedict's Church,
Plantation, Florida (Diocese of Southeast Florida), where he lives with his wife,
Ruhama, and their three children. He is the author of Real Life, Real Love (Ama de Verdad, Vive de Verdad), a self­help book which became a bestseller in
Spanish, and Dilemma. He received his Doctor of Ministry in Preaching degree
from the University of the South, Sewanee. His website is PadreAlberto.com. Related Reading Crazy Christians The Digital Cathedral A Call to Follow Jesus Networked Ministry in a Wireless

It was only after his retirement as bishop and his establishment of a
counseling practice that his current role began to emerge, as news of his
empathy for clients who were members of the Ugandan LGBTQ community
began to spread through word-of-mouth, and that same concern impelled him to speak out against Uganda’s draconian policies toward LGBTQ people. In
the years since, he has risked his life for justice and inclusion and become a
leading advocate for the place of gay and lesbian Christians in the life of the
Anglican Communion, especially in Uganda. At 83, his memoirs tell a
fascinating story. Christopher Senyonjo was born and raised in Uganda. A graduate of Union
Theological Seminary in New York and Hartford Seminary in Connecticut, he
has worked for the inclusion of gay and lesbian Christians within the Anglican
Church of Uganda and throughout the Anglican Communion. He is also a
prominent character in God Loves Uganda and Call Me Kuchu, films that

Jennifer R. Durant, busy career woman, wife, and mom of two, made a drastic
Career 2.0 change. In the lexicon of ministry, God called her to be an

weakness in one of her hands was diagnosed as ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's
disease). In Sparrow, completed with her husband, Matthew, Durant recounts her battle
and brings the reader with her on her spiritual journey through her priesthood
and ministry which, despite her illness, continued to her death—with the aid of
a speech box, she preached her final sermon on the Sunday before her

Pilgrim: A Course for the Christian Journey
STEPHEN COTTRELL, STEVEN CROFT, PAULA GOODER, ROBERT ATWELL, AND SHARON ELY PEARSON
paper | 5.5 x 8.5 | 72 pages each/leader guide 96 pages | Leader Guide Foreword by Michael B. Curry
March 2016
Pilgrim is a teaching and discipleship resource that helps inquirers and new Christians explore what it means
to travel through life with Christ. A Christian course for the 21st century, Pilgrim offers an approach of
participation, not persuasion. Following the practice of the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer
with quotes from the Christian tradition throughout the ages, Pilgrim assumes little or no knowledge of the
Christian faith. Individuals or small groups on the journey of discipleship in the Episcopal tradition can use
Pilgrim at any point.
There are many different aspects to helping people learn about the Christian faith. We have taken as our
starting point Jesus’ summary of the commandments. We are called to offer our lives to God through loving
God with all our mind, soul, strength, and heart, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Learning about
Christian faith and growing in Christian faith is about more than what we believe. It’s also about the ways
in which we pray and develop our relationship with God, about the way we live our lives and about living in
God’s vision for the Church and for the world.
There are two stages of material in Pilgrim. There are four short Pilgrim books (each comprising a course
of six sessions) in the “Follow” Stage designed for those who are enquirers and very new to the faith. Then
there are four books (again, each comprising a six-session course) in the Grow stage designed for those
who want to go further and learn more.
Pilgrim is made up of two parts, each with four courses contained in four booklets:
Follow: Do you turn to Christ? Releasing in March 2016

Church & Kingdom
Each course offers six sessions that combine a simple prayer, reflection on a biblical selection using lectio
divina, an article by a modern writer, and reflection questions.
The short courses in the four Follow stage books can be approached in any order. Together, we believe
they offer a balanced introduction to the Christian life and journey. Our hope and prayer is that Pilgrim will
help to introduce people to the Christian Way and also equip them to live their whole lives as disciples of
Jesus Christ. It will help inquirers and those new to the Christian faith as well as those who are new to The
Episcopal Church or Episcopalians who wish to refresh and renew their learning commitment to Christ.
The aim of the Grow stage is to help people to learn the essentials for a life of discipleship. A disciple is to
be called to live in a rhythm of being with Jesus in community and to be sent to live out the Christian faith
in the whole of his or her life.
Disciples need the support of other Christians and to be part of a community. We need opportunities to
reflect and pray together and to explore the riches of our faith. The Grow stage supports that process both
for new Christians and for those who have been Christians for many years. Some groups who use the Grow
material will be moving on from the Follow stage of Pilgrim. Some will be specially convened just for this
stage.

whether in church, school, or
home.
Course 1: Turning to Christ:
What do Christians believe?
This is the question explored as
the questions that are asked at
Holy Baptism are discussed. We begin by looking at whom Jesus was; why did people want to spend time with him so long
ago and why do we promise to turn to Christ and follow him today? This is followed by learning what Christians believe
about God, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Baptismal Covenant.
Course 2: The Lord’s Prayer: How do Christians know and worship God? Explore the Lord’s Prayer in these sessions as a
gateway to the Christian gospel, as a guide to our own prayers, and as a way of deepening our relationship with God. Here
is a way of seeing God and the world and yourself which is profound and revolutionary and good news.
Course 3: The Commandments: Following Jesus is about the way we behave as well as what we believe. So how should
Christians behave and how should we live? This part of Pilgrim explores that question through one of the core texts of the
Christian faith: the Commandments. We look in Session 1 at the two commandments Jesus uses to summarize the whole
of the Old Testament law: the call to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. In Sessions 2-6, we explore the Ten
Commandments themselves.
Course 4: The Beatitudes: A short but profoundly beautiful and influential collection of s yings by Jesus. They sum up his
teaching about what it means to live as a child of God’s kingdom. The authors of this course believe that following Jesus
requires us to engage with this important text, so that it is restored to a central place in the life of the Church. We believe
that the Beatitudes, and trying to live them out, is one of the best ways of loving God with all your heart and understanding the Christian vision for the world.
Course 5: The Creeds: In Session 1, we look at what it means to say: "I believe" and "We believe" and at the role the
creeds play in strengthening our relationship with God. Session 2 explores what it means to understand God as Trinity: one
God in three persons. Sessions 3 and 4 take us deeper in our understanding of Jesus and look at the way Christ is fully God
and fully human and at the great work of redemption on the cross. Session 5 explores the person and work of the Holy
Spirit, and Session 6 at what we believe about the Church.
Course 6: The Eucharist: Offers six sessions that reveal the reasons why the Eucharist is celebrated as a memorial of
Christ’s saving passion and stands at the very heart of Christian worship.
Course 7: The Bible: What is it, how was it given to us, and how should we read it? These six sessions combine simple
prayer, Bible reflection in the lectio divina style, an article by a modern writer, and time for questions and reflection
Course 8: Church & Kingdom: The importance of prayer, living out our faith, celebrating Sabbath, and reflecting generosi y
is explored. We look at how faith in the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit shapes and changes all our relationships.

Environment Hospitable Planet
Faith, Action, and Climate Change
STEPHEN A. JUROVICS Foreword by Matthew Sleeth
Environmental scholar, spouse of a rabbi, author has strong grounding
in Hebrew Scripture. l Approaches environmental issues from both scientific and faith
perspectives. l Addresses a growing concern for earth among people of faith. l
“What can I do about the environment? What has God said about the
environment?” Most books about climate change only address one of these
questions. Those from a religious perspective do not address what individuals
can do to help society transition from fossil fuels, other than changing
personal behavior. Readers know instinctively that will not suffice, and so are
left feeling the situation is hopeless. In contrast, books that primarily address environmental issues fail to reach people motivated more by faith than
science, leaving out many who could constitute the tipping point for full
American engagement on the issue. 9780819232533

Nature / Environmental
Conservation & Protection
Borrowing an approach from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leadership, which
brought together both secular and religious arguments for ending
segregation, this book addresses physical evidence of climate change while
demonstrating through biblical teachings the religious imperative for
preserving our inherited world. The compelling biblical case for creation care is
grounded in environmental teachings Jesus knew, primarily in the Hebrew
Scriptures. Topics addressed include air pollution, treatment of the land,
preserving biological diversity, and treatment of animals, and each is
connected to contemporary issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, care of
the needy, the extinction of species, and factory farming. Stephen A. Jurovics holds BS and MS degrees from Columbia University and a
PhD in Engineering from the University of Southern California. He has had
about 20 technical papers published over the years and given numerous
presentations at professional conferences. Aspects of climate change
mitigation have been the focus of his engineering work for more than two
decades. He and his wife, Rabbi Raachel Jurovics, live in Raleigh, North
Carolina. Related Reading Simpler Living, Compassionate Life How Many Lightbulbs Does It Take

The book has two sections: Part 1, Scriptural Stewardshifts, reinterprets
familiar biblical passages on stewardship, introduces new ones, and helps
congregations expand their use of the Bible in their life and stewardship work.
Part 2, Secular Stewardshifts, examines the resources that are available to
congregations from the "continuing revelation" that is occurring in the secular
world, including brain science, financial planning, philanthropy, community
organizing, and other areas. The book is written in a friendly style, with
reflection questions, so-what moments, and engaging sidebars. Bob Sitze is a former ELCA staff member in the ministries of hunger
education, Christian education, stewardship education, and family life. An
experienced ecclesiological observer, Sitze has more than 40 years of
experience as a congregational leader and denominational executive. He is

Religion / Christian Life
Hardly a day goes by without some poll or news story documenting the
changing relationship between the general population and religion, often
accompanied by predictions of doom. The rise of the "nones" and the "dones" leaves many adrift in a world with multiple complex challenges. Providers of
"spiritual friendship"—pastors, spiritual directors, pastoral counselors,
concerned Christians—will need to change their approach as those with whom
they interact distance themselves from the church. How should we talk with
the "nones" and the "dones" about their spiritual lives? How can we be with
them in their struggles when they are suspicious of our motives? These are questions providers of spiritual friendship face every day. This
book offers answers that can help them look at their work in new ways.
Stewart-Sicking presents an innovative approach to spiritual friendship,
addressing major challenges of modern life and significant challenges in the
lives of individuals, as well as making accessible scholarship on the subject
that is difficult for practitioners to access. Joseph A. Stewart-Sicking is an Episcopal priest and Associate Professor of
Pastoral Counseling at Loyala University Maryland, where he directs the PhD
program. His research explores the impact of modernity and postmodernity
on spiritual formation, the emotional health and vocational satisfaction of
clergy, and the relationship between spiritual direction and psychology. He was the associate project director for the Project of Congregations of Intentional
Practice at Virginia Theological Seminary, directed by Diana Butler Bass. He
coedited with her From Nomads to Pilgrims: Stories from Practicing Congregations and wrote the study guide for Christianity for the Rest of Us. He lives in
Baltimore, Maryland. Related Reading Noticing the Divine Tweet If You Heart Jesus An Introduction to Interfaith

Spiritual Direction Using the Bible in Spiritual Direction LIZ HOARE Foreword by Daniel L. Prechtel
l An ancient tradition, spiritual direction is more popular than ever. l Experienced spiritual director shares methods and history of the Bible
in direction. Spiritual direction is increasingly popular among Christians of all mainstream
traditions, with demand for directors outstripping supply in many places. And
although the Bible is central to the practice of spiritual direction, very little has
been published on how best to use it in this form of ministry. Experienced spiritual director Liz Hoare explores the central role the Bible has
played in Christian experience, in order to discourage poor, shallow, or rigid
use of the Bible, which can lead to damage and inhibit spiritual growth. 9780819232571

According to Hoare, the goal of spiritual direction is not a personal
improvement plan but a people who are being shaped into the likeness of
Christ, for the flourishing of the church as a whole. Using different methods of
praying with the Bible and drawing on historical traditions of Christian
spirituality, as well as current literature and practice, this book offers a rich,
stimulating, and thoroughly biblical resource for all those who give and receive spiritual direction. Liz Hoare is Tutor for Spiritual Formation at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and has
been giving and receiving spiritual direction for over 25 years. She is the
author of Spirituality and Remembering (Grove Books 1996), What is Celtic
Christianity? (Grove Books 2008), Nurturing the Spirit of a Child (Grove Books
2009), and the chapter on Anglican Spirituality in The Blackwell Companion to
Anglicanism (Wiley-Blackwell 2013). She was one of the first women priests to
be ordained in the Church of England in 1994. Related Reading Spiritual Direction in Context Candlelight Illuminating the Art of SpiritualDirection NICK WAGNER 9780819222091 $24.00

Spending time with the St Augustine’s Gospels, believed to be the oldest non­

starting point for a contemporary conversation on communication, unity, and
continuity. How does the church find that connection with its past, its present, and its
future? How do we share the Good News using today's media, and how do we
learn more about that process by considering vellum and quills? A wonderful
