Singing the Lord's Song in a New Land is one of the first books to address ministry in Korean American contexts and the first from the highly regarded Valparaiso Project to explore how faith practices work differently in a racial ethnic community. The groundbreaking work identifies eight key practices of the Korean American culture: keeping the Sabbath, singing, fervent prayer, resourcing the life cycle, bearing wisdom, living as an oppressed minority, fasting, and nurturing.

From the earliest meetings of the Civil Rights Movement to offering the benediction for the first African American President of the United States, Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery has been an eyewitness to some of the most significant events in our history. But, more important, he has been a voice that speaks truth to power--inspiring change that moves us forward. In Singing the Lord's Song in a Strange Land, you will find Dr. Lowery's most enduring speeches and messages from the past fifty years including Coretta Scott King's funeral and the benediction given at President Obama's inauguration. This book, however, is not simply a collection of words. It is the heart of a movement and a call to a new generation to carry the mantle--for all people.

Music and song are important parts of worship, and hymns have long played a central role in Protestant history. This book explores the ways in which Protestants use hymns to clarify their identity and define their relationship with America and Christianity.

Drawing on a lifetime of experience in the Church's mission and ministry, John Marsh explores how churches can recover their vision for sharing the gospel following the exile experience of the pandemic.

What is an exile? An Exile is a person who has been broken, regarded as useless and cast away. For too long we have been an instrument of hurt rather than healing. Should we b surprised a generation is leaving the Faith? The church again needs to become a powerful force for good in the world. "Have you ever felt like you just didn't fit in? Have you ever thought that everyone around you seems to have their act together, but you didn't? Has church brought more hurt than healing? Then 'The Exiles Next Door' will speak to your heart. Every pastor and church leader who desires to reach out to more than the 'cookie-cutter' Christians needs to consider what Sam shares in this book." -Dr. Cal Bodeutsch, Author of "Sometimes We Suffer," "Touching Heaven in Prayer," & "The Grace Way."
