Towards a Politics of Compassion
Wise beyond his years, Johnny Black Hawk takes pride in his mixed heritage, believing in the inherent good of both the Indians and whites. Then the Civil War brings unbearable grief and suffering. Amid troubles, triumphs, deception and daring, Johnny struggles to follow his father's teachings about honor. Emotions long dormant are revealed, as he discovers decency in a person long considered evil, and the miraculous faith of another, once thought a fool. Then the white mans' broken promises and greed bring death and destruction to the Indian people, and he must learn to listen with his heart to an ancient, sacred voice. But will he ever understand the meaning of his gift from the Grandfathers?

The Social Gospel Today
The contributors explore how the theological tradition of the Social Gospel, born within the social and cultural dislocations of late 19th-century America, relates to the dislocations of the current American scene. The contributors argue that America's only indigenous theological tradition remains powerfully relevant to mainline churches and to the scholars who work out of these institutions.
It Is Good for Us to Be Here
This book, It Is Good for Us to Be Here, epitomizes the unique advocacy work of organized transnational actors underscoring the nexus between faith life and working for social development. NGOs of institutes of religious life have been the most influential faith-based NGOs at the United Nations.

Moments
In an age and time where poetry and prose of the heart are slowly being replaced with musical thumps wrapped in loud beats that demand our undivided attention, this book is a solace of poetic expressions wherein you may pause from the “hurried busyness” of life and soothe your soul. It is a candid exposé of life lessons predicated on debunking the widely held misconception that we only live once to heralding the actuality that we, in fact, die at least once but we live every day. It is a masterful fusion of prose, poems, and prayers that challenge readers to first conceptualize their best-lived life and then to live that life fully each day and, secondly, to move a step further and to v...
The Church as Salt and Light
At once prophetic, pastoral, and personal, this book applies the symbols of 'salt' and 'light' as ecclesiological images for reimaging the African Church for today and tomorrow. The proposal of this book is to reconsider the path towards abundant life for God's people in the challenging context of African continent, and through the agency of African Christianity.

What is the face and identity of the Church in Africa? What positive imprint is Christianity leaving on the lives and societies of African Christians?

What is the relevance and place of African Christianity as a significant voice in shaping both the future of Africa and that of world Christianity?
