Cause for Hope: Humanity at the Crossroads
This provocative book from one of the most provocative leaders in the church challenges the governing story that has shaped and defined Western culture and society - a story that has manifested itself in ecological destruction; war and its obscene military expenditures; unprecedented consumerism; economic disparity between rich and poor; mistreatment of non-white cultures and races; sexism; and fear. It is time for a new story, and the author takes on the task of outlining the core themes of this new story with the passion and vision of a modern-day prophet.
Available through your local bookstore, and just about anywhere, this book includes an extensive recommended reading list and a study guide for individuals or for group discussion and action.

The Emerging Christian Way:
Thoughts, Stories and Wisdom for a Faith of Transformation
The face of Christianity is changing. In recent years, and in rapidly increasing numbers, people have begun to understand the core message and purpose of Christianity differently. They have returned to its ancient roots and found a wisdom that speaks to their experience of faith and God. According to this emerging vision, Christianity is primarily about transformation. This collection of 13 essays is by leading authors and thinkers in the field, covering many aspects of this developing Christian paradigm. Contributors include Marcus Borg, Matthew Fox, Anne Squire, Tom Harpur and Very Reverend Bill Phipps.
