  1. Ginger Gaines-Cirelli – “Sacred Resistance”

Ginger Gaines-Cirelli, senior pastor of Foundry UMC in Washington, D.C., lifts up a vision of how followers of Jesus might ground themselves in the resources and practices of our faith to offer an alternative way of engagement amidst the bruising polarization of our time.  For persons and congregations who are uncertain or afraid about engaging the issues of the day, this book seeks to offer encouragement, practical guidance, and a reminder that God has engaged the political world  – how we live with and for others  – from the beginning.  “Sacred Resistance” offers both concrete biblical and theological guidance to those who long to participate in god’s work of mending and a compelling case for why that work is not only allowed, but central to our call.  The invitation is to trust God enough to take our place in that work.

  1. Helen Fleming – “Train the Trainer – Pastor’s Guidelines for Teaching Spiritual Leadership Development”

This book will help pastors to build a stronger spiritual foundation for the church during these perilous times. This concept will broaden the trajectory of transformation so that the church can continually grow in a healthy manner and bring the leaders into a deeper relationship with God. It will broaden their awareness of how to move out strife, conflict, competition and confusion.
