Sanctuary of Healing: Transforming Churches into Trauma-Informed Spaces
Julia Matallana Freedman
"At once deeply spiritual and eminently practical, this compact book offers resources for leaders who must minister to those in recovery from trauma—which is pretty much everyone."
—Rev. Barbara C. Crafton, author of Jesus Wept: When Faith and Depression Meet
Grounded in both lived experience and theological depth, this guide urges faith communities to become intentional spaces of refuge and restoration from trauma. Through a powerful call to "hold space", it offers practical tools for pastors and ministry leaders to walk alongside those carrying deep wounds. It reframes the role of the Church - not merely as a place of spiritual guidance, but as a sanctuary where healing and wholeness can take root.

Embracing the Mixed Ecology: Inherited and New Forms of Christian Community Flourishing Together
Dwight J. Zscheile, Blair A. Pogue
"This wonderful book will make you think and make you hope."
—Stephanie Spellers, author of The Church Cracked Open and the forthcoming Church Tomorrow?

Inspired by the Church of England’s efforts to engage a changing missionary landscape, this book argues that the renewal of the church requires an expansive vision for inherited and innovative forms of church thriving together. Examining numerous innovations—including fresh expressions of church, megachurches, microchurches, church plants, digital churches, and more—authors Dwight J. Zscheile and Blair A. Pogue show how a mixed ecology is central to the future of the church.

Leadership in a Shrinking Church: Finding New Vision in Unlikely Places
William H. Harrison
"There are no simple recipes for institutional transformation such as Harrison envisions, for it depends on the transformation, personal commitment, and honest engagement of those willing to take the lead in moving hopefully through difficult times.” —Rev. Dr. Charles Hefling, Boston College

Combining sociological rigor and deep theological reflection, seminary leader William H. Harrison argues that declining church membership and attendance is a reality, and Christian denominations must address it by renewing their focus on holistic transformation in evangelism and loving service.
