God of the Poor
Brings together two of the hallmarks of Christianity: a submission to Scripture and a strong social conscience.
Power and Poverty
Throughout history poverty has been largely unnecessary. And yet throughout history some of the earth's population have enjoyed an abundance of the goods available while others have suffered want of the most basic goods needed to sustain life. In this wide-ranging, challenging book, Dewi Hughes argues that poverty is rooted in the way human beings use and abuse power. The Scriptures remind us, as we do the work of the church, that who we are, what we say and what we do under God are inseparable-that the kingdom of God is not merely a matter of words, but of power.

The World on our Doorstep
"Written to equip and inspire mission and engagement with other faiths ... the book mixes practical examples with pastoral advice for working alongside people becoming Christians from other faith backgrounds"--Publisher.
Ethnic Identity from the Margins
In most people’s minds “ethnic” or “ethnicity” are terms associated with conflict, cleansing, or even genocide. This book explores—from three perspectives—the significance of ethnic communities beyond these popular conceptions. The first perspective is the reality of the author’s own experience as a member of the Welsh ethnic identity. The Welsh are a small people whose whole existence has been overshadowed by the more powerful English. This is the “margin” from which the author speaks. The second perspective is the Bible and evangelical mission and the third is the unprecedented movement and mixing of ethnic identities in our globalizing world. The book ends with the section on ethnicity in the Lausanne Commitment that, hopefully, marks the beginning of serious consideration by the evangelical missions community of this issue that deeply impacts the lives of many millions.
Castrating Culture
What does it mean to have an ethnic heritage that is in any way different from that of the prevailing, dominant culture? And how do we save cultural diversity from being swallowed up by Anglo-American sameness? Too often, Christians associate the God-given gift of ethnic identity with the evils of ethnic cleansing, genocide, hatred, or cruelty. Instead they need to see the richness of unity in diversity as modeled for them by their Trinitarian God. Hughes develops his argument from his own rich and sometimes painful experiences, as well as from biblical truth, historical and present social, cultural, and political reality. Ethnic identity is not the cause of violent conflict but rather a gift from our creative God that needs to be preserved and nurtured. Powerful ethnic identities have, and continue, to castrate cultures by not allowing them to pass on to future generations the richness of their heritage. Hughes argues that as Christians, we need to have a positive understanding of ethnic identity.

The Missional Entrepreneur
Business as mission (BAM), an emerging concept and developing ministry, has drawn fascination in missions and business circles. BAM embodies the practice of using business strategically accomplishing missional purposes. Though the term is ubiquitous in mission circles, there is disparity between its meaning. There has been much theoretical discussion about BAM but far less research accomplished on how it happens out in reality. The Missional Entrepreneur takes an in-depth look at business as missions in action with an eye to expose the most effective principles and practices of this movement.
