Education with the Grain of the Universe
"Eighteen contributors shape philosophies of Mennonite higher educational institutions as they explore intersections of educational theories and practices with Anabaptism, Mennonite thought, and peacemaking" --
This Very Ground, this Crooked Affair
John L. Ruth tells the riveting, painful, haunting story of how "this very ground," the land on which he lives, was centuries ago taken from the Lenape of his area of Pennsylvania through a "crooked affair."
Let the Children Come to Me
Let the Children Come to Me, a resource for familes nurturing faith development of elementary-aged children, is structured around 12 Anabaptist faith practices: Scripture reading, prayer, community, bearing witness, service to one another, worship, nonviolence, steadfast faith, the centrality of Christ, communion, believers baptism, and stewardship. Each faith practice is developed as a short unit (the equivalent of two page-spreads) and explored through stories from Anabaptist-Mennonite history--one from the sixteenth century and one contemporary, global story. These stories are accompanied by scripture passages, conversation-starters, prayers, and multiple options for family activities. Th...

Yet legacies of settler colonialism and environmental inequalities contradict these a...
This Crowded Night
"This Crowded Night uses fiction writing resources to bring the women of the New Testament Gospels to life, offering the voices of mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives struggling to find their way--and perhaps their faith--in a society in which women's voices are less often heard" --Provided by publisher.
Meditations on the Beatitudes
What does it mean to be meek? To hunger and thirst after righteousness? The author draws on stories from years of experience in Latin America to invite readers to glean insights regarding the Beatitudes' meaning. Writing in the Foreword, Leanne Eshleman Benner, who works at Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community as a Resident Services Manager, says that "I'm always taken aback when something like Don Clymer's book jolts me into realizing just how enmeshed I have become in a culture which barely needs the Beatitudes. Our pockets and our minds are full to overflowing. Reading the Beatitudes then becomes a sort of academic exercise and/or a checklist for making us feel better about ourselves. ...
