    The Day Metallica Came to Church

    by John Van Sloten

    What do the music of Metallica and Bach, the film Crash, and stories about Batman have in common? According to author and pastor John Van Sloten, God can speak through all of them—if we're listening.

    Out of his own often startling and sometimes wrenching journey of discovery, Van Sloten shows how God can speak to us through anything and everything—heavy metal music, R-rated films, sports, and even the latest fashions. This book might just change the way you hear God's voice—and how you live in today's world.

      • If only I knew how to find him (Job 23:3). Job, meet John. John Van Sloten has developed a spiritual radar-system which picks up the vibes of the Spirit in the culture and the church. In this amazing book he shows us how we too can read the divine by radar, stay on course, and lead a supercharged life.

      • An artistic and playful reminder that, though the Church is God's primary instrument for changing the world, that doesn't mean God is limited to religious stuff. Scriptures are filled with God working in unlikely and scandalous ways, through brothel owners and adulterous kings and reborn terrorists. And just as the Scripture says the rocks can cry out, John Van Sloten reminds us that so can the rock stars. May we find something of God in these pages that can help us love better... and change the world.

        —Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution; freelance troublemaker and instigator of holy mischief; www.thesimpleway.org
      • The Day Metallica Came to Church is a very worthwhile book. Van Sloten does not need to be imitated by every preacher, but he certainly has something to say to all of them and he says it well.

      • "Cal DeWitt has one of the great minds, and one of the great hearts, of the environmental movement. This book will open many eyes!"

        —Bill McKibben, author of Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
      • "The personal lifelong experiences of Cal DeWitt and those of his friends, students, and acquaintances sing a wonderful song in praise of creation throughout this book. This is a compelling and encouraging word of hope in these days of so much environmental destruction."

        —Professor Sir Ghillean Prance, FRS
      • "Calvin DeWitt forwards a compelling and engaging argument, defeating the often-heard claim that science and theology are adversaries. In a brilliant and well-documented account, DeWitt makes his point using scientific facts effectively illustrated by his own stories of scientific work. Do not let the title fool you. Thoroughly scientific and unapologetically Christian, this brief “song” presents a serious and poignant work that should help mitigate the unnecessary conflict between science and theology while giving a new and exciting appreciation for creation--the work of God."

        —Bruce Little, Director of the Center for Faith and Culture
      • "In this book Cal DeWitt looks at nature through the eyes of the Creator, the eyes of a scientist, and the eyes of the psalmist. As you read, you will hear the heartbeat of God, the groans and hopes of a scientist, and a lilting rendering of songs of awe and wonder at God’s marvelous creation!"

        —Prof. Jeyakar Chellaraj, former honorary director of the Heber Au Sable Institute (India), and principal of Bishop Heber College in Tiruchirappalli, India
      • "If God is one, then truth must be one too. Finally both spirituality and science are recognizing that they are peering into the same living well and into the same endless sky. Calvin DeWitt will help you see beautifully in both directions!"

        —[Fr.] Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
      • "A prophet for our times, Cal DeWitt continues to wake up the church to the biggest problem facing the world today--the very survival of the planet. Song of a Scientist calls the church to take a leadership role in caring for God's creation--a must read for all who want to help build bridges between people of science and faith."

        —Matthew Sleeth, MD, Executive Director, Blessed Earth
      • "I've been waiting for a book that infectiously communicates what Cal Dewitt embodies. This is it. Cal is by nature a lover--of people, of words, of God, of creation. Reading this, your love for each will flourish. But beware--all this love will open your heart to the jolting words of a prophet. And then you will be responsible for what you do with what you've heard."

        —Ken Wilson is senior pastor of Vineyard Church of Ann Arbor and author most recently of Mystically Wired: Exploring New Realms in Prayer

    Sung, whispered, shouted, and groaned by Muslims and Jews, Protestants and Catholics, Bob Marley and J. S. Bach, the Psalms express the faith of a thousand generations. People have used psalms to voice their deepest anguish and delight, to comfort others, to express emotions they hardly dare to admit.

    Sung, whispered, shouted, and groaned by Muslims and Jews, Protestants and Catholics, Bob Marley and J. S. Bach, the psalms express the faith of a thousand generations. People have used psalms to voice their deepest anguish and delight, to comfort others, to express emotions they hardly dare to admit.

    In this book Kevin Adams shares stories of unlikely psalm prayers and an unpredictable God, opening up the honest and earthy world of the psalms in new and unexpected ways. And he invites us to find our own story within that community of faith.

    Reading this book you will find yourself underlining an especially poignant verse here or jotting notes in the margin there, as the psalms come alive through the stories of those who have used and abused them through the centuries.

      • If you can't find yourself in this amazing tour of life, you aren't yet fully human. If C. S. Lewis were a 21st-century California church planter, he would write this book.

        —Neal Plantinga, author of Engaging God's World
      • The highest compliment I can pay to this book is after I finished reading it I was eager to preach on the Psalms again.

        —Haddon Robinson, Harold John Ockenga Professor of Preaching Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
      • What a gift! This marvelous little book is also a gift, inviting us to see the psalms anew--as an ancient prayer book that speaks poignantly to our postmodern context. Far from some dusty old collection of religious prayers, the psalms are gritty, honest encounters with the living God. A wonderful resource.

        —James K.A. Smith, Professor of philosophy at Calvin College, Author of Desiring the Kingdom and Letters to a Young Calvinist
      • Kevin Adams sees the powerful, unrivalled way in which the psalms speak out transformatively, one poem at a time, one person at a time, one crisis at a time, one elation at a time. Readers will find Adams bringing these poems to their lives as well, mediating our pain to God and our hope from God. The book is a gift that keeps on giving . . . as long as the poetry lasts.

    Leaving Egypt

    by Chuck DeGroat

    The Exodus story is your story.

    The Israelites' liberation from Egypt and journey to the promised land is one the Bible's most compelling narratives. But the Exodus isn't just a long-ago Bible story. We each find ourselves enslaved: to work, to destructive relationships, to food, to spending... but beyond our personal Egypt lies God's promised land.

    Chuck DeGroat shows how our wilderness journey helps us face our fears, receive our new identity, experience transformation, and live into our newfound freedom. Discussion questions follow each chapter.

Leaving Egypt is filled with strategies and hope for all readers regarding the common realities of addiction, idolatry, or enslavement of any kind.

        —Justin Holcomb, Executive Director of the Resurgence; coauthor, Rid of My Disgrace; Adjunct Professor of Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary

      • Leaving Egypt is a welcome roadmap for anyone who is tired of taking two steps forward, three steps back -- whether you are lost in addiction, doubt, fear, shame, or religiosity. This book is a guide filled with directions -- not to a destination, but to stay on the path, because this journey is the Promised Land.
