Thomas Jay Oord has been handed charges and faces a trial for being fully LGBTQ+ affirming. This book offers the documents of his defense for that trial. It also features other documents, including his hearing defense. At the heart of Oord’s argument is his belief that love should compel everyone to accept and affirm fully queer people. This means embracing LGBTQ+ identities, orientations, and healthy sexual behaviors. Oord believes that love acts intentionally, in relationship with God and others, to promote overall well-being. While love seeks the good of all, it is especially attuned to the well-being of the marginalized, rejected, and harmed. -
Things They Never Told You in Sunday School took what had been explained in rather complicated detail by some others and organized the information into a layperson’s, easy to understand journey that walked simply through the Bible explanations, and scholarship. -
Science and Religion should never be in conflict, as Dr. James, a Ph.D. scientist and Christian mystic, carefully demonstrates. He employs many personal experiences in the science realm and in the Christian realm to show how the two are wonderfully complementary—as long as each remains in their respective places. -
In POSTMODERN SPIRITUALITY IN THE AGE OF ENTITLEMENT, impatience, quickness, and the need for instant gratification unconsciously push the postmodern person towards "social and spiritual shallowness." Attempting to cope with an ever-increasing flow and flood of information, knowledge, and data, we skim and scan, instead of deep reading and absorption. David Robson weaves numerous thoughtful and stimulating viewpoints from other noted experts combined with his timely insights into how our world was affected by the shift to a post-modernism society. This substantial work was written after years of research, study, and contemplation with the goal of stimulating each reader on their own path of spiritual awareness and personal growth. -

“I don’t love God.” Little did Gen-Z seminarian Katie Westcott know that when she made that confession to English professor Martin Bonham one fine summer day it would throw the quiet campus of Cupperton University into an uproar. Nothing would be the same again. Together, this unlikely pair of oddballs poses this question: What if students could major in “loving God”—not religion or theology, but in the daily challenge of loving the Creator with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength? Well, now they can … in the new and innovative Department of Theophily—the department of loving God. Yet, strangely enough, not everyone is happy about the new department, and they will stop at nothing to see it shut down. … Part sitcom, part inspiration, this thoughtful theological comedy is like a Venn diagram in which C. S. Lewis and P. G. Wodehouse intersect. -

Do you feel betrayed by your religion? After twenty-four years in the Evangelical movement, Phil Davis decided to leave his “first faith.” It was not a decision he took lightly. Feeling sick of the institutional church, tired of the manipulative “voice of God” drummed into his head, and trusting that the real God was somewhere beyond the theology he was taught, the author deconstructed and then reconstructed his view of the Divine Presence. In Leaving God for God, Davis takes us on his journey to de-program himself and open himself to the God beyond any one religion. -
One Consciousness - God’s consciousness fills the universe. Everything contains and expresses it. The world is alive, awake, aware, loving, and breathtakingly intelligent. We each share this consciousness though we wrap it in personal identity and assume everyone’s version is uniquely theirs. What does this mean? It means you have direct access to the consciousness of God. This realization alone can begin your awakening. -
Borderlands is the story of the courageous people who risk everything for the safety and well-being of themselves and their families, and the people of El Paso who accompany them. While the media saturate the news with antagonism and images of violence, the volunteers at Annunciation House and other organizations provide hospitality and care for those who leave their homes behind at great personal cost. Rather than seeing the stranger as enemy, they meet their guests as relatable, complex human beings like themselves. -

Can you feel your faith slipping away? Are you or a loved one questioning what you’ve always believed? You are not alone. Come on a journey with others who have lost their religion but have found themselves. If you’re wondering whether there’s life on the other side of deconversion, or if you’re trying desperately to understand a loved one who is losing their faith—this book is for you. Edited by philosophy of religion scholar, Sarah Bacaller, with a foreword by Bart Campolo (the first humanist chaplain at the University of Southern California), this book offers gripping insights into the deepest aspects of the deconversion journey. It will encourage anyone who is looking for the courage to question what they believe, or who is growing beyond previous versions of themselves. While Christian apologists do their best to warn us about the sinful perils of the slippery slope, this book answers the question, “What do ‘apostates’ themselves have to say?” It explores why people leave behind a faith that has shaped every aspect of their life and identity. Furthermore, these stories show that having the courage to ask tough questions, to confess cognitive dissonance, and to commit to the pursuit of authenticity is not a sure-fire road to hell, but instead can lead to newfound liberty and hope. -
