Leadership
Gary Harder reflects on 42 years as a pastor. With deeply personal stories, he recalls the surprises of God's mysterious healing work. Amid the chaos of people's lives, Harder finds God is often present in unexpected ways. Harder creates a candid and lively conversation between the experience and reflection; between the biblical witness and the stark reality of conflict in the church; between crisis and opportunities for ministry.

This book is a collection of nearly 75 stories and sermonettes drawn from Brunk's forty years in the ministry. The stories reflect Brunk's desire to help churches become open and welcoming, instead of exclusive and shunning. The story of Cap'n Jack, the oysterman living "outside the walls" of the Mennonite colony and welcomed into Brunk's home church at Warwick River Mennonite Church, provides a memorable illustration of this.

Theology
Christendom or believers church? Here a twentieth-century Anabaptist ponders this and other key questions while telling his 90- year life story. As he records, Peachey was shaped in the free church tradition and by encountering a traumatized post-World War II Europe. From that vantage point, he and Mennonite colleagues saw strengths in their heritage and developed concerns that their denomination's focus on professionalization and institution building risked hiding the Anabaptist light under a bushel. This led to the "Concern" movement, whose themes still resonate in Peachey's quest to discern whether his is "a usable past" able to offer fruitful perspectives on contemporary trends.

Africa
For Wayne and Ruth Ann Stelfox, the war-torn city of Monrovia, Liberia, was a drastic change from rural Alberta, Canada,. But they and their five children accepted t he challenge of a tow-year mission assignment in West Africa-and found themselves immersed in a world of starving children, extreme poverty, disease, human sacrifice, witchcraft, and violence.

In t he midst of this darkness, they found joy, love, lasting friendships, and hearts open to the light of God's love. They saw beauty in t he scarred landscape around them, and the tears of heaven in the torrential African rains. As they worked to help change the lives of those around them, their own lives were changed, and the miracles they witnessed increased their awe of the God they had gone to Africa to serve.

Bible Study
Devotional
Neither commentary nor traditional meditations, Eby's Markings are a spiritual memoir. His musings on 70 episodes or texts in the Gospel of Mark blend intellectual inquiry with confessional worship. They meld poignancy, whimsy, grit, doubt, sorrow, and inspiration. Anyone attending to the care of her or his soul will find nurture here.

Eby's project from the practice of old spiritual disciplines: Bible Study, meditation, prayer, contemplation, silence, writing. Using the Gospel of Mark for his own Markings, Eby explored the Gospel through the grid of his forty years teaching literature at the college level, reading and writing, listening to music, walking in the orchard and woods, living in Africa, heeding one wise woman, rearing children, stumbling towards God. Then, under the influence of a given text and personal memory, he sat down and wrote, yielding these personal musings on a spare but elegant Gospel.
