Canterbury Press Norwich The Vowed Life: The promise and demand of baptism
Book SynopsisThe Vowed Life reflects on a paradox in the Church today: one that represents an important challenge to its mission and witness. Vows continue to be made sacramentally in the Church, yet there remains a great longing for a vowed life which would be truly transforming and life-giving. Vows are simultaneously alluring and unappealing: lay memberships of religious orders have escalated, yet very few traditional religious communities have attracted younger members due to their more demanding lifelong commitments. The Vowed Life explores why and how this has come to be, and how the Church urgently needs to respond to this paradoxical challenge. Returning to baptism as the anchor of all other Christian vows, a range of contributors consider whether the longing for forms of life that are profoundly life-changing is a displaced desire for something that should be intrinsic to Christian life. In a Church that prioritises pastoral sensitivity, they ask how those demands could be newly expressed for our culture. In seeking a coherent theology of vows in liturgical practice and sacramental context, they find that fresh attention to ‘the vowed life’ also has much to offer to the Church’s continuing conversations about sex, gender and identity, and to a ‘mixed ecology’ approach to the life of the Church and its mission.

Canterbury Press Norwich Cranky, Beautiful Faith: For irregular (and regular) people
Book SynopsisNadia Bolz-Weber weaves personal narrative, hilarious rants and powerful spiritual insight as she relates her unusual journey of faith, offering a fresh and uncompromising look at the transformative power of grace. As one of today's most provocative Christian leaders, she blends sardonic irreverence and brilliant theology to offer a portrait of faith that is edgy, outrageous and, above all, real. Smart-mouthed and heavily tattooed, Nadia Bolz-Weber didn't consider herself ‘religious leader material’ and didn't expect to find her vocation leading a funeral in a smoky, downtown comedy club. But surrounded by recovering alcoholics, depressives, and comedians, she realized these were her people and maybe she was meant to be their pastor. Bringing together the bracing and beautiful, this revised updated edition reminds us that we need the grace of a loving, forgiving God now more than ever. Please note this book is published under the title 'Pastrix' in certain territories.Trade Review'This is an astonishing book...contagious, honest, captivating...a rare gift... I realize that I'm gushing, but that's what you do when a book inspires and moves and touches you like this one does.' -- Rob Bell'Funny, raw, and packed with truth, this books is offensive in all the right ways... This book reminded me of why I am a Christian. I wept when I finished it.' -- Rachel Held Evans'A gifted writer, a liturgical acrobat, an honest and outspoken sinner-saint, a deep, engaging, and surprising speaker - I could only be talking about Nadia Bolz-Weber.' -- Brian McLaren'Fierce, funny, faithful, and very old-school in her passion for the Word, Nadia Bolz-Weber is a preacher of power. Read her, listen to her, and get fired up to follow Jesus.' -- Sara Miles, author of Take this Bread and Jesus Freak'The passion behind Nadia's words is as deeply pastoral as it is God-drenched and liberating... thus the affection as well as the respect that attend her and her work wherever she goes.' -- Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence

The Choir Press The Eschatology of the Restoration of All Things: The dawning of the age of enlightenment
Book SynopsisEschatology is often thought of as describing the 'end of the world' or 'end times'. Yet many have begun to conclude that the restoration of all things is an inevitable consequence of who God really is as Love, encouraging them to look to the future with optimistic anticipation and expectation. Isaiah prophesied no end to the increase of God's government and peace, so why are believers still looking for an end? Mike Parsons examines the reasons for this confusion, exposing the 'Great Deception' that lies behind it, and proposing instead a 'happy eschatology' in which all of God's children can recognise and fulfil their eternal destiny.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. My Eschatological Journey; 2. The Fruit of the Poisonous Tree; 3. Happy Eschatology; 4. The Second Coming is Raptureless, Tribulationless and Millenniumless; 5. Zionism and the Luciferian Agenda; 6.
