  We were created for more—more than mere flourishing, more than our self-improvement projects, more than our accomplishments. God created us to be connected and rooted in community.
  
  In this book, Christian Mungai, presents an African vision for what Christian living is. He explores a biblical concept that is often overlooked in our results-oriented Western society: that the people around us—from our kids to our parents, from our friends to our church community—are our true wealth. It is when we focus on people first through relationship building, God works in incredible ways. This is how we can live the victorious Christian life, fulfilling Christ's call to be witnesses for him.
  
  
  Christian Mungai, the global movement pastor at Mariner's Church, is part of the team that developed the influential Rooted curriculum based on how Christian's home church in Nairobi, Kenya was mentoring and discipling people. In this book, Christian dives into the biblical and discipleship concepts behind that curriculum that should ground every believer's life and outreach.
  
  
  You'll discover:
  
  - the power of taking the time to be with another person, cultivating relationships that can facilitate meaningful life-change
  - the importance of the biblical concept that every person reflects God's image and how that can shape our faith, life, and ministry
  - the way to become a change-agent and a catalyst, helping people become who Jesus calls them to be
  - how the international church can build bridges between its members in order to transform the world
  With this book, you will be re-energized and re-invigorated, ready to respond to God's call.

  How to Fight Sexism in the Church
  Despite the real progress that has been made in recent years, women continue to be silenced, wounded, and relegated to the sidelines in our churches. Many churches—even churches that outwardly affirm and platform women—remain unaware of the patterns and cultures at play that set up unseen barriers for women.
  This is a book for Christians who want to learn how to do better. Heather Matthews has experienced sexism in the church firsthand. In Confronting Sexism in the Church, she explores the history and culture of sexism in our contemporary evangelical world and describes the many ways—subtle and not so subtle—that it lives on in the church today. She gives simple, practical steps for how Christians can actively fight sexism in its many forms.
  The mistreatment of women has been part of the human experience from the very beginning—but in Christ, women are set free to be all they've been created to be. This book invites churches to live out that reality in all its fullness.

  In his new book, Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around, AND Campaign cofounder and president Justin Giboney explores a compelling vision of how the Black Church's social action tradition can inspire hope and healing in the face of today's polarized culture wars. The spirituals of the Black church, such as "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around," were rallying cries during the Civil Rights movement, making clear the connection between faith and justice during marches and protests. These songs encapsulated the unwavering faith and resilience of the Black church, propelling ongoing advocacy for justice in the public square. 
   
  Centered on faith, justice, and moral imagination, Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around offers a blueprint for public witness that rises above division without compromising Christian values. Giboney thoughtfully examines the principles, motives, and accomplishments of the Black Church's legacy, calling all Christians to a courageous and faithful engagement in the public square.  
   
  In this book, you will discover the Black Church’s rich history of pairing orthodoxy and orthopraxy in its public witness; learn how this history can transform today's polarized politics; and explore how to value both social justice and moral order for a faithful Christian witness.
