  Hope for the Mission - Getting...

  To get it right in the mission to end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and factsFor well over a century, Christian ministries have actively offered relief for the poor and unhoused in North America. The dominant model in faith-based homelessness response has long been gospel rescue missions, nonprofit organizations that shelter and feed people experiencing homelessness. While the presence of these ministries in this work is undeniable, they frequently position themselves against best practices to meet their goal of evangelism. This approach often perpetuates homelessness instead of ending it.In this inspiring and clarifying book, homeless services advocate Kevin Nye reports on dozens of faith-based stories and examples that will equip readers to help end homelessness in their communities. Alongside critical evaluation of what Christian groups have tended to get wrong in addressing homelessness, Nye offers stories of faith and hope about what’s going right. Churches and other organizations have been faithfully answering the call to provide services, support, shelter, housing, and so much more in ways that align with broader efforts to successfully end homelessness. These exemplars embody the spirit of Christian social response alongside a commitment to the most effective, evidence-based practices for ending homelessness. Hope for the Mission offers groups of any size paths to consider, values to emulate, and methods to embody as we follow Jesus toward solidarity with the unhoused. As we imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home, we can find hope and insight for the real mission that lies before us: loving our unhoused neighbors in ways that bring them into fullness and flourishing.

  Read by the author. 
  What if you weren’t made for something great but for Someone great?  
  We often hear that we were made for more. Yet our modern understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life can feel more like a burden than a dream. What if the more that we crave is not something we achieve but something we receive? 
  In this provocative and deeply spiritual book, Bible teacher Kelly Needham explains the problem isn’t that we long for something more. The problem is what we believe “something more” is. We spend our lives chasing after verbs, when we were meant to live for the Noun. Using her own journey and creative retellings of Bible stories, Kelly offers insights intowhy our hearts long for a sense of purpose,how to hold the tension between seeking greatness and embracing the ordinary,what the Bible says about true world-changers,how modern technology affects our desires—and how to avoid its pitfalls, andwhy resting accomplishes more than producing. 
    
  As we recognize the source of our hunger for the extraordinary, we can move forward in freedom rather than feeling stuck in guilt or disappointment. We can discover how to build a purpose-filled reality without turning our life upside down—so we can embrace the joy today that we always assumed was somewhere down the road.

  Three friends. Two broken promises. One missing manuscript.  
   
  As a senior acquisitions editor for Fog Harbor Books in San Francisco, Ingrid Erikson has rejected many a manuscript for lack of defined conflict and dramatic irony--two elements her current life possesses in spades. In the months following the death of her childhood best friend and international bestselling author Cecelia Campbell, Ingrid has not only lost her ability to escape into fiction due to a rare trauma response, but she's also desperate to find the closure she's convinced will come with Cecelia's missing final manuscript. 
   
  After Ingrid jeopardizes her career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But then Joel Campbell--the man who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters--offers her a sealed envelope from his late cousin, Cecelia, asking Joel and to put their differences aside and retrieve a mysterious package in their coastal Washington hometown. 
   
  Honoring Cecelia's last request will challenge their convictions and test their loyalties, but through it all, will Ingrid and Joel be brave enough to uncover a twice-in-a-lifetime love?
