As conversations abound on social media platforms and in the news media, more people are beginning to wonder why ethnic and cultural diversity is increasing in our cities, yet it is not reflected in our churches. Has it ever been reflected? What caused such separation? Are there cultural and relational barriers that prove too difficult to climb for those different than ourselves?An honest assessment of ourselves could demonstrate that the reason most of our churches remain homogenous in diverse cities is because all are not welcome. Differences tend to separate. Therefore it is easiest to gather with those who are similar, but is that the call of the Great Commission, and is that the outworking of the gospel we observe in the books of Acts? All Are Welcome is an attempt to have (and continue) the conversation that looms in our communities. Each contributor in this edited volume is an ethnic minority. These are the voices that are often overlooked, yet they provide ideas and answers for how to create a much more welcoming environment for all people in our local congregations. If you’ve ever wondered about the discussions that occur between ethnic minorities as we pontificate how to create a more welcoming environment in our churches, All Are Welcome is a discussion you don’t want to miss.

As we look into the stories of our lives, particularly the most difficult ones, we connect more deeply with ourselves, with others, and even with God. Elizabeth believes that when people tell their stories, things change. We are found through the telling, and so is hope. She also has found faith. It's mysterious, and at times infuriating, as she experiences a God who refuses to be controlled. God doesn't promise the elimination of suffering, only that he will be with us in it. It's not the religion she grew up with. It's more nuanced than that. But the most important thing it is, is real.

In a day when many things divide us, what unites us? Christians have, for centuries, found unity and solidarity through the confession of faith found in the Apostles' Creed. Many learned it as children, while others only became familiar with it later in life; some can recite it by memory, some in song, but all using the same essential words. Yet, familiar though it is, do we understand its meaning? When we profess, Sunday by Sunday, these historic words, do we have a full grasp of what it is we are professing? In Rooted: the Apostles' Creed, Dr. Raymond Cannata and Rev. Joshua Reitano teach us and refresh us in our understanding of what these important truths mean. Taking a little bit at a time, this book will guide you through a comprehensive understanding of the principles contained in the beloved Creed.

While our church doctrine teaches that men and women are co-laborers and co-heirs in Christ, does our practice reflect that truth? And what do we lose in our failures? To serve effectively together as brothers and sisters, we must be able to speak about good and hard things. These essays by our sisters and mothers in the church can help us know, grow and do better. Here are redemptive celebrations, gentle corrections, and winsome invitations from the diversity of women God has given as gifts to the church body. Read and listen well so that may we better serve each other and God's kingdom.

An explosion of racial conflict and division ensues across the country. Viral videos show scenes of police brutality, protesters insisting Black Lives Matter, while many others consider the problem isolated. What is the call of faithful believers in midst of these tensions? Is the goal of racial reconciliation part of a non-Christian agenda or is it God’s dream for his church? EmbRACE is a tool to help guide individuals and churches in a conversation of learning and growing in our understanding of the intersection of race, faith, and society.

Jerram Barrs is Professor of Christian Studies and Contemporary Culture at Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri. A student of the late Francis Schaeffer, Professor Barrs joined the seminary faculty after eighteen years with L'Abri Fellowship in England, where he also served as a pastor in the International Presbyterian Church. As Founder and Senior Scholar-in-Residence of the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute, Jerram is widely respected for the breadth of his teaching interests, and he is especially known for the sensitivity he brings toward those outside of the Christian faith. This volume is an expression of thanks for Jerram's life and ministry and his founding of the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute thirty years ago. In its pages, former students, current colleagues, and gifted friends from various institutions and ministries, lend their talents to unpacking a variety of themes broadly reflective of Jerram's own interests. These chapters touch spiritual formation, cultural engagement, the Christian's embrace of the arts, and apologetics and outreach.

Narcissa Prentiss Whitman (March 14, 1808 – November 29, 1847) was born in Prattsburgh, New York. During the Second Great Awakening, she decided she wanted to be a missionary to the expanding West. Since she was single, she was not allowed to go. This impediment was solved when she married Dr. Marcus Whitman on February 18, 1836.Soon thereafter, Narciss and Marcus started their journey to Oregon County, in what we call Washington State. They traveled by sleigh, canal barge, wagon, river sternwheeler, horseback, and foot. The Whitman Mission began in 1837. They taught Bible classes to the Native Americans, and they informed them on the domestic chores thought necessary. Whitman had one natural child, but she drowned when she was two years old. Narcissa and her husband adopted many others. The Whitmans had on-and-off-again trouble with the nearby tribes, the Cayuse and the Nez Perce. An outbreak of measles especially decimated the tribes, and seemed to do little damage to the missionaries. On November 29, 1847, the Whitmans and eleven others died in an attack. Still others were taken hostage. These letters give insight to her remarkable journey, work, outlook, and eventual death.
