Peculiar Faith : Queer Theology For Christian Witness
$27.95
Designed for both church and academic audiences
* Ecumenical appeal
Residing at the intersection of constructive theology and critical social theory, this book
provides a resource for both students and clergy to reinterpret Christian theology and
re-imagine Christian faith in the twenty-first century.
The author seeks “to encourage and equip Christian faith communities to move beyond
the decades-long stalemate over human sexuality and gender identity” because “Queer
gifts emerge in Christian communities when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) people no longer feel compelled to justify their presence in those communities.”
Useful in both seminary classrooms and in congregational settings, the book is a
contribution to the still-emerging field of queer theology, translating the rigors of scholarly
research into transforming proposals for faith communities.
AUDIENCE: For seminary classes, small group study in congregations, and readers with
an interest in queer theology.

Devil At My Heels
$14.99Add to cartAthletically gifted, Louis Zamperini propelled himself from the tough streets of Southern California to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and to an NCAA mile record at USC that stood for 20 years. When war came he left the track for a B-24-a move that would have heartbreaking consequences. On a routine mission his plane crashed into the shark-infested Pacific and he would drift 2,000 miles for 47 days before being found by the Japanese. As a prisoner of war, Zamperini endured two years of horrible torture and humiliation at the hands of a psychopathic guard nicknamed “The Bird.” Yet Zamperini endured and returned home a hero.
Unfortunately, the terrible memory of his experiences haunted him. Zamperini turned to alcohol and spiraled into the depths of despair until a young preacher named Billy Graham helped him rediscover the faith that would eventually lead him to return to Japan and personally forgive all his now-imprisoned captors. Moving and unforgettable, terrifying and inspirational, Devil At My Heels is not to be missed.
