Learning to Be You
We all want the confidence that comes from living out of our true identity, but how do we get there? We don't magically discover our true selves when we reach our twenties. And some of us spend our entire lives feeling like we are living a lie. We can be torn apart by our duplicity or we can become so comfortable with putting on various personas to suit our situation that we don't even realize we're doing it. But if we are followers and disciples of Christ, our identity is already decided. What we need to learn is how to understand and embrace it. In this honest and penetrating book, David D. Swanson calls readers to take off their masks, discover the true source of their identities, and enjoy the peace and satisfaction that comes from being authentic and transparent to ourselves, our God, and the people who surround us. He gently leads readers from their hiding places to a life of conviction and courage.

Everlasting Life
You were created to live forever. Death. Everyone fears it. No one can escape it. But, thankfully, God has a plan-an indescribable, eternal life waiting for you. Hopeful, biblical, and filled with encouragement, Everlasting Life shines a light on death and the afterlife that will bring comfort and peace to those who are facing it or to those who want to be ready for it when it does come. David Swanson shares the simple truth that you are immortal-you will never spiritually die-and shows you how seeing life through your immortality can radically change the way you live.
Rediscipling the White Church
"Many white Christians across America are waking up to the fact that something is seriously wrong—but often this is where we get stuck." Confronted by the deep-rooted racial injustice in our society, many white Christians instinctively scramble to add diversity to their churches and ministries. But is diversity really the answer to the widespread racial dysfunction we see in the church? In this simple but powerful book, Pastor David Swanson contends that discipleship, not diversity, lies at the heart of our white churches' racial brokenness. Before white churches can pursue diversity, he argues, we must first take steps to address the faulty discipleship that has led to our segregation in the first place. Drawing on the work of philosopher James K. A. Smith and others, Swanson proposes that we rethink our churches' habits, or liturgies, and imagine together holistic, communal discipleship practices that can reform us as members of Christ's diverse body.
War Is a Lie
Not a single thing we commonly believe about wars that helps keep them around is true. Wars cannot be good or glorious. Nor can they be justified as a means of achieving peace or anything else of value. The reasons given for wars, before, during, and after, are all false. Because there can be no good reason for war, having gone to war, we are participating in a lie. -- Introduction.
The Economy of God
"I want you, the reader, to know the joy and delight that is possible when money is yielded to God's discretion." --David D. Swanson Jesus spoke more about money than any other single subject in the Bible. Yet, because many believers don't listen to what the Bible says about money, money has become a source of pain, strife, discontent, and division in many Christian homes, churches, and ministries. God has an entire economy that he wants us to operate in-a way of working and producing-a way of earning, spending, saving and giving that not only honors him, but blesses everyone who participates in it. This book will help you once again realize God's economy and increase your heart's desire to live within it.
Silverton Style
A vivid imagination becomes the backdrop for a collection of essays Swanson has written that chronicle his childhood growing up in a tiny mountain town in the 1970s. Silverton Style contains twenty-four writings, most of them describing some aspect of his developmental years and the corresponding outrageous adventures he lived through in the small southwest Colorado mountain town of Silverton. Never dull, and always more than a bit satirical and eccentric in their descriptions and subject matter, these essays were all previously published at one time in Silverton's local newspaper, The Standard & Miner, or posted to Swanson's blog. As the collection illustrates, a non-fiction description of various aspects from a person's life is often stranger, and in certain instances more offbeat, than fiction itself.
