Button Reflections
This is a book of buttons from a revolutionary, dramatic period of accelerated social change, the last half of the Twentieth Century. Interspersed with movements and causes are chapters about ordinary life in motion. The author takes us on a journey toward human rights, justice, and peace, connecting past and present as they move into the future. The book takes us from a small town in Pennsylvania, to Boston, to the Middle East. Reflections are written from the faith perspective of a Presbyterian minister deeply engaged in and influenced by ecumenical and interfaith ties. For those who lived through this period, this book will bring back memories. For those too young to remember, this book will give you insight into your past. For both young and old, Kepler’s writing urges us to recognize the life and work of all those who believed in human rights and just peace as we design the future. She also invites us to celebrate just plain life in all of its variety and wonder.
Life Lessons from My Dog
One fall day, I found myself in the car holding on to a squirmy, very adorable puppy. We were taking her home. From the moment we picked her up, she became my mentor, teaching me life lessons without ever trying. She loved the world and all of us. She became a wonderful traveler, and over time, she became socialized. She taught me patience, got me through some rough times, showed me how to be playful, and strengthened me spiritually. I began to record some of our experiences together. Those reflections became this book. The book ends with her first birthday and our celebration of Dog who opened insights to God.
Work After Patriarchy
Traditional ways of dividing work by gender are disappearing and new ways of ordering our lives are emerging. Today, women and men engage in various forms of work in the course of a lifetime: work for pay, housework, family care-taking work, volunteer work. Our expansion of work roles holds great promise for our personal development, the well-being of families, and the health of society. We can weave together all forms of work, with determination and imagination, as we open doors for future generations. Our attitudes, values, and world views are changing along with our working patterns. Old ideal images, now limiting and harmful, are losing their power. Opportunities for theological reformation emerge based on a new understanding of human nature, just love, and the order of society. We live in an accelerating time of great change and great consequence. This is a book for such a time.
Rediscovering Christianity: Origins and a New Era
With humanity on the cusp of a dramatic new era, Patricia Kepler invites us to reexamine the foundations of Christian faith that mainstream expressions of Christianity share. “Rediscovering Christianity” explores basic beliefs about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, and the early church. It goes on to explore the theological and ethical questions essential to moving toward the new creation of which Jesus speaks. In that creation, heart and mind come together in search of God’s Realm on earth. This book is for people who never learned much about their faith and those Christians who are asking questions in these changing times. Kepler sees faith as evolving and has great hop...

The Future of Partnership
How should men and women and God relate to one another? Letty Russell's answer is "partnership," understood in new ways as a relationship rooted in the life story of Jesus. Instead of concentrating on individuals as single entities, she develops the theme of the individual in partnership--both with God and with Others. She deals with the theological foundations of partnership and such practical concerns as lifestyles, human sexuality, education, church community life, and ministry. Her book speaks to the interests of churchwomen, feminists, students of theology, and the many who have studied her other books.
