  Burning In My Bones

  $28.00

  This essential authorized biography offers unique insights into the experiences and spiritual convictions that shaped the unforgettable life of Eugene Peterson, iconic American pastor and beloved translator of bestselling Bible paraphrase The Message.

  For millions of Christians, Eugene Peterson’s trusted voice provided honesty, joy, and peace amid the cacophony of modern faith, beautifully showing what it means to live in faithful presence with God. But less well known is his story: how the son of a small-town Montana butcher became known as “America’s Pastor,” a quiet force whose ministry and writing touched hearts from Montana to the White House.

  In this authorized biography, pastor and writer Winn Collier artfully sketches the scope of Peterson’s remarkable life, from his childhood in the wilds of the American West, through the shaping influences on his faith and biblical study, to his personal struggles and deep, overcoming faith. Drawing on his years-long friendship with Eugene and exclusive access to his journals, letters, photographs, and family lore, Collier’s work is broad in scope and fascinating in subject–an inspiring portrait of an unforgettable spiritual life. Warm, fascinating, and uniquely inspirational, A Burning in My Bones is the authoritative and comprehensive story of this wise, humble, and influential man.

  Love Big Be Well

  $24.99

  Jonas McAnn is a weary pastor without a congregation, trapped in a dead-end insurance job. Granby Presbyterian is a weary congregation without a pastor, overwhelmed by the prospect of finding someone who actually wants to be a pastor–not a manager, coach, or CEO.

  When Granby’s pastoral search committee and Jonas connect through handwritten letters passed back and forth, something sparks between them–something so real and refreshing that even after Jonas and his family move to Granby, he continues the regular practice of writing letters to his congregation.

  Spanning seven years of his ministry at Granby Presbyterian, Jonas’s letters ruminate on everything from fly-fishing to the Nicene Creed. They reveal the earthy spirituality woven into the joys and sorrows of the people of Granby, the community of the church, and Jonas’s own unfolding story.

  Readers will discover what it means for a pastor and a church to do the slow work of ministry in community–anchored by a common place and buoyed by a life of faith that is meaningful, rooted, and true.
