God Is Still Speaking
A Year of Reflection "God is still speaking" started as an advertising slogan for the United Church of Christ, but more than 20 years later, it endures as a faith proclamation: God is still speaking—in the Bible but also through the arts, in the sciences, and in the struggles for justice. God is still speaking—because the world is still evolving. God is still speaking—and God isn't finished with us yet! God is still speaking—so we should keep engaging our faith with curiosity, wonder, and even playfulness. If you wonder whether God has anything to say in these tumultuous times; if your faith is feeling stuck or finding itself in unknown territory; if you think devotional books are sappy or pious or irrelevant; God Is Still Speaking will give your spirit a God-filled jolt! Each devotional begins with scripture, ends with prayer, and brings bold encouragement to your day. God is Still Speaking: 365 Daily Devotionals is a collection of wondering, provocative, and playful reflections for the person who thinks devotional books are "too pious." Spend 365 days immersed in the affirmation: God is still speaking!
An Undevotional
In the same spirit as his previous book, Big Jesus, Watson takes us on a journey through the Gospel of Luke with a touch of humor and a wheelbarrow full of insights and information. Watson believes nothing is more pretentiously self-pious than to write something and call it a "devotional" unless one has already been canonized as a saint. An Undevotional is not a spoon-fed offering of theological niceties, but rather a head-spinning array of possibilities into the mind and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth with contemporary applications. At times irreverent, at all times interesting, this book is un-indispensable for Jesus devotees and un-devotees alike.
Do This
Communion—the Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist—is concerned with the way we live our lives. It always has been, although sometimes Christians focus so much on the spiritual that we neglect the physical, earthly, social implications of the sacrament. Do This re-embodies Communion through reflections, fresh liturgies, and original hymn texts. God Is Still Speaking,®: The Writers’ Group is composed of United Church of Christ ministers and writers who collaborate on resources for people in the church, outside the church, and not sure about the church. The Writers’ Group and affiliated contributors are known for their whimsical piety, providing honest inspiration and progressive theological reflection for Christians who strive to be literate but not literal in nurturing their faith.
All I Really Want
Provides daily readings for busy, harried people so that they can stop and enjoy the advent season, allowing a bit of room for God amid the hurrying around.

We Shall Be Changed
How will we regather the church after pandemic? The Covid-19 pandemic is an inflection point for the church everywhere—and certainly for the Episcopal Church. The sudden flowering of creativity, connection, and collaboration is an expression of the Holy Spirit’s relentless presence within the church; yet ongoing distancing creates difficulties to be overcome on the other side of the present crisis.

You'll find a short prayer at the end of each reading, to say out loud or to yourself. That will get you started, and the rest is up to you.

On Austrian Soil
Finalist for the 2006 Independent Publishers Book Award in the Autobiography/Memoir category Most educators keep their teaching secret. In On Austrian Soil, an award-winning teacher, Sondra Perl, opens her classroom to reveal the struggles and successes she encounters when she, not without trepidation, raises the questions of history with her adult Austrian students, descendants of Nazis. Her students, teachers themselves, come face-to-face with the question of their responsibility not only to the past but also to the future. Perl's careful descriptions are an invitation to scrutinize her teaching and thinking as well as her students' own histories and hatreds. Writing together, she and her students break lifelong silences—discovering along the way the power of dialogue to transform deeply held prejudices.
