Progressive Christianity is not new. It has been around for two hundred years or more. But the anger and disappointment of those who have encountered it only recently is palpable: Why weren't we told? This international collection of cameos and articles on the themes and issues addressed by progressive Christianity is a response to that cry.

Mindful Christianity revels how mindfulness has manifested among Christians from the days of Jesus until now. It allures the reader to integrate it into every aspect of Christian living: prayer, worship, study, and service. And it shows how mindful Christian practice can lead to a humbler, kinder, livelier, more inclusive and common-sense form of the faith. It is structured for use as a program resource for churches, retreats, campus ministries, and other groups. Additional information can be found at MindfulChristianity.org

Jim Burklo attunes the reader to Jesus' voice in Tenderly Calling. It is an invitation for those starting the path of Jesus, as well as for those setting out afresh. Tenderly Calling invites the reader into the depths of the Bible's transformative myth and poetry, into the practices of Christian contemplation, and into the practices of Christian contemplation, and into action, building the kingdom of heaven on earth. The way of Jesus is kindness: it is the open-hearted, open-minded, humble faith of a humble man. For two decades, Jim Burklo's books and blog entries have thrown spiritual lifelines to disillusioned Christians, offering them an alternative, progressive form of the faith. Now in Tenderly Calling, he addresses the growing population of people who know so little about the faith that they have little to unlearn. His book introduces the texts, rituals, symbols, and practices of the faith as raw material for the spiritual imagination, inviting the follower to creatively participate in the ongoing evolution of Christianity. Tenderly Calling is a welcome into the Christian faith that rings true for our time.
