3 Coming in 2012 Coming in 2012 Dive Devotions for Deeper Living Cindy Massanari Breeze Due March 2012 Paper $16.99 USD/$19.54 CAD This book, rooted in Scripture and prayer, looks at a variety of issues important to youth who want to grow in their relationship with God. Woven through more than one hundred meditations is the guarantee of God s unconditional love and acceptance, the assurance that each young person is a worthwhile creation, and the challenge to courageously grow in faith. All the topics covered in the book were suggested by youth themselves in the author s Sunday school classes, and at a national youth convention. Another aspect that makes this book unique is that each topical section includes specific suggestions for living it out. Comments from young readers: This is the first devotional book I ve ever read. I didn t think it was really my thing, but I really enjoyed reading a little bit every day. I didn t know the Bible had so much to say about things kids are interested in. Each chapter ends with an activity of some kind that is called Living it out. That is my favorite part of the book. Laughter Is Sacred Space The Not-So-Typical Journey of a Mennonite Actor Ted Swartz Due Fall 2012 Paper $12.99 USD/$14.99 CAD Ted Swartz and his Ted & Company TheaterWorks team are known for blending Bible stories with comedy and poignancy, and pushing the envelope on issues of faith and social justice. But who is Ted Swartz? Follow along in this engaging memoir as Swartz finds his way as a middle child in a Mennonite home in eastern Pennsylvania, to his early work in the family butcher shop, to uprooting his young family to attend seminary, to leaving behind the path of a pastor and embracing life as a writer and actor. Swartz s engaging humor blends with his own stories of triumph and tragedy, and helps readers understand their own sense of place and how they re shaped by those around them. We thought we knew the Scripture pretty well until Ted came along with his tricky mirror. It turns out that humor unlocks some aspects of the story that would otherwise escape a detailed analysis. Gerald Shenk, former professor, Eastern Mennonite Seminary Go to Church, Change the World Christian Community as Calling Gerald J. Mast Due January 2012 Paper $13.99 USD/$16.00 CAD In a time when many are questioning the relevance of the church to their spiritual journeys, this book asserts that going to church not just personal virtue or ethics is at the heart of Christian vocation. Drawing on Anabaptist life and conviction, Mast presents Christ s call to all believers to be the church, whether gathered for worship or scattered for service. By exploring such practices as baptism, communion, singing, and group discernment, he asks us to consider how participation in the life of the church shapes our daily witness how going to church transforms going to work in the world that God loves. The great surprise in Go To Church is, indeed, the best surprise that life here offers: that we are both free and able, now and within the ordinary practices of daily living, gathering, worshipping, and serving, to participate in the fullness of God s kingdom. This highly inviting and encouraging book reminds us how this works, and draws us deeper into the life we are living, and for which we long. John Stahl-Wert, president and CEO of Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation Relentless Goodbye Grief and Love in the Shadow of Dementia Ginnie Horst Burkholder Due April 2012 Paper $16.99 USD/$19.54 CAD This collection of stories illustrates the struggle, pain, humor, adjustment, and change surrounding a spouse s dementia. Burkholder s poignant memoir comes as a result of her husband s dementia, but this book is not a book just about dementia, or faith, or grieving. It is a book about the gritty and glorious substances of life and how, in the author s case, illness and health, faith and doubt, grieving and acceptance flow together into a river of change. Study questions are included. They are not only a tool for understanding dementia or the role of caregivers but can bring greater selfawareness to every person s life experience. The author writes about what I am living with such grace, love, and humor that I draw strength in knowing that I may, too, be able to find some sort of peace. Patricia Sieber, Revelstoke, British Columbia The author s description of ongoing grieving is what I feel but could not put into words. Linda Koutoufas, Chesapeake, Virginia 4 USA: Canada:

4 Coming in 2012 Coming in 2012 Part of the After Christendom series Anabautismo al Desnudo Convicciones Basicas de una Fe Radical Stuart Murray translated by Mauricio Chenlo Due January 2012 Paper $13.99 USD/$16.00 CAD Anabaptist Christians have been around for almost five hundred years. But what does Anabaptism look like when not clothed in Mennonite or Amish traditions? Writing from Great Britain, Stuart Murray peels back the layers to reveal the core components of Anabaptism and what they mean for faith in his context and ours. It s a way of following Jesus that challenges, disturbs, and inspires us, summoning us to wholehearted discipleship and worship. This popular 2010 book over ten thousand sold is now available in Spanish. The Naked Anabaptist needed to be written, and I can t imagine anyone better than Stuart Murray to write it. I fully share Stuart s enthusiasm for what the Christian community at large can learn from the Anabaptist way of being Christian, and I hope you ll share my enthusiasm for this book. Brian McLaren, author, speaker, and activist Reading the Bible After Christendom Lloyd Pietersen Due February 2012 Paper Lloyd Pietersen argues that for too long the Old Testament has been the primary source for Christian ethics and the letters of Paul for Christian discipleship. Without disparaging these sources, the author suggests that the church in a postmodern, post-christian society needs to look at Scripture with a different focus. This book seeks to examine what reading the Bible might look like in the current period when the church is no longer central and the Christian story is not well known. Pietersen argues that, after Christendom, Jesus should be central to any Christian biblical interpretation. Given the highly visible and unmistakable failure of the Constantinian system, this fresh reading may be just what is required, not simply to revive the church but to mediate the moral energy needed for a new society. Walter Bruggermann, professor emeritus, Columbia Theological Seminary Joshua Gordon H. Matties Due April 2012 Paper $29.99 USD/$34.39 CAD In an age of fear and insecurity, in which ethnic nationalism continues to give rise to conflict and war, we dare not avoid critical engagement with biblical texts that have been used to justify colonialism, conquest, occupation, and ethnic cleansing. Building on the idea of Scripture as dialogue partner, Matties advocates for the book of Joshua even as he engages in a difficult conversation with it. In his commentary, the twenty-fifth volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, Matties calls for an openness to the unexpected in the book of Joshua. He suggests that reading Joshua carefully will open windows into how and why we read Scripture at all. Be prepared for surprises. While some commentaries offer definitive answers, Matties encourages dialogue with other biblical texts, with the early church father, Origen, and with Tolkien and modern films. War and terrorism, frequent subjects in Joshua and in our time, are tackled adroitly. Elmer A. Martens, professor emeritus of Old Testament, Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary Things Hold Together John Howard Yoder s Trinitarian Theology of Culture Branson L. Parler Due Fall 2012 Paper Unlike many theologians, John Howard Yoder developed a theology of culture that reflected the biblical connection between Christ and creation. In properly tracing the biblical unity of creation and redemption, Yoder affirmed the trinitarian unity of Father, Son, and Spirit. Like Yoder s own argument in his landmark The Politics of Jesus, this book shows that his theology of culture is not merely an Anabaptist minority report, but an account of culture that Christians of all stripes need to take seriously. The author joins many others who continue to study the theology of one of the twentieth century s leading theologians. Yoder ( ) taught at the University of Notre Dame and at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary. 6 USA: Canada:

5 Coming in 2012 Coming in 2012 Seven Things Children Need Revised Edition John Drescher Due Summer 2012 Paper $10.99 USD/$12.64 CAD This is a revised edition of a Herald Press classic that has sold over 125,000 copies. It has been translated into nearly twenty languages. The author discusses seven of the most basic needs of the growing child. The seven are significance, security, acceptance, love, praise, discipline, and God. This is a practical, personal, down-to-earth book for people who care about children as persons. Practical, realistic, and nontechnical. Family Life magazine A good start or review for any parent. Christianity Today magazine Winds of the Spirit A Profile of Anabaptist Churches in the Global South Conrad Kanagy, Richard Showalter, and Tilahun Beyene Due Summer 2012 Paper $13.99 USD/$16.00 CAD In this groundbreaking study, the authors make an unsettling claim: Anabaptist churches of the Global South have more in common with the church of the first three centuries than they do with contemporary churches in Europe and North America that claim the Anabaptist name. With data from eighteen thousand church members in ten countries, they show how historical patterns of church renewal are repeating themselves today in the Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The study does more than crunch statistics; it probes the sources and nature of the renewal and growth. And it pushes readers to ask what these trends can teach the churches of the North in their own quest for faithfulness and vitality. Let Justice Roll Down Women Engaging the World Rebecca Seiling Due Spring 2012 Curriculum In the prophetic books of the Bible, we hear a steady drumbeat: return to God s ways, remember who you are, seek justice. The calls are persistent, and include harsh words of coming judgment. Amos, whose name means burden bearer, carried a message of warning to the Israelite people. Let Justice Roll Down, commissioned by Mennonite Women Canada and Mennonite Women USA, is recommended for women s gatherings, Sunday school classes, retreats, or individual reading and inspiration. Twelve sessions examine the book of Amos, with topics that include the prophetic voice, the church s witness in the world, consumption and generosity, and the relationship between worship and justice. Close to Home pamphlets $0.75 USD/$0.86 CAD each Close to Home pamphlets help Christian caregivers support those dealing with difficult personal issues, and encourage them on a path to wholeness. New in 2012: Dealing with Teenage Pregnancy Teenage pregnancy impacts the whole family, not just the teenagers who find themselves in the midst of an unintended pregnancy. How do pregnant youth seek help and support during this time? How do families and faith communities provide support as difficult decisions are made? What are the questions that may arise and where can answers be found? This pamphlet offers guidance as those involved navigate the challenges of this issue. Dealing with Self-Harm Violence against oneself, known as self-injury or self-harm, is on the rise. Some use this form of physical pain as a coping mechanism to try to erase the emotional pain in their lives, and more females than males are involved in this behavior. This pamphlet allows caregivers to better understand these acts and provides basic information about how to relate to one who practices self-harm, as well as where to seek guidance and support. 8 USA: Canada:

8 New and Notable New and Notable Mennonite Girls Can Cook Lovella Schellenberg, Anneliese Friesen, Judy Wiebe, Betty Reimer, Bev Klassen, Charlotte Penner, Ellen Bayles, Julie Klassen, Kathy McLellan, Marg Bartel pages.

Mennonite Girls Can Cook has great photos that accompany each recipe and a lot of comfort food. I m getting hungry now! Sophie Lui, morning news anchor, Global BC in Vancouver Widening the Circle Experiments in Christian Discipleship Joanna Shenk, editor pages. Paper $14.99 USD/$17.25 CAD In the last half-century, a growing number of North Americans have been smitten with an Anabaptist-Mennonite vision of church and mission. Often coming from outside the Mennonite mainstream, they ve formed communities with others of like mind and sought to live out their radical faith. Some of the latest expressions link to the New Monasticism or other emerging movements. But in the process, they often bump up against the institutional church that has housed the radical vision for generations. The stories and reflections offered in Widening the Circle explore that creative tension. The result is a rich showcase of Jesus-centered discipleship windows into what the future church can look like. In these pages, young activists, living legends, and departed saints offer us great wisdom, fresh strategies, and clear visions for a just, compassionate society and a nonviolent world. Savoring the words of each person is like a long conversation on the porch in the warm sun. Rita Nakashima Brock, director, Faith Voices for the Common Good The End of Sacrifice The Capital Punishment Writings of John Howard Yoder John Nugent, editor pages. Paper $16.99 USD/$19.54 CAD Scholars continue to study the writings of John Howard Yoder, a Mennonite professor who was one of the twentieth century s leading theologians. The End of Sacrifice brings together his published and unpublished writings on capital punishment. Yoder ( ) engaged in sophisticated biblical, sociological, and historical analysis in order to demonstrate that from ancient society until today capital punishment is an inherently cultic sacrificial rite. Since the death of Jesus brought a decisive end to all sacrifices for sin, Yoder argued, Christians should proclaim the abolition of the death penalty. Its advocates should no longer claim biblical validation. In doing so, Yoder also made a persuasive case for proactive Christian witness to the state. He called the church to proclaim the end of sacrifice to public officials who are responsible for carrying out capital punishment. Youth Ministry at a Crossroads Tending to the Faith Formation of Mennonite Youth Andy Brubacher Kaethler and Bob Yoder, editors pages. Paper $15.99 USD/$18.50 CAD Youth work isn t for the faint-hearted. It s tender and tough, requiring savvy to understand the assault of erotic, self-centered, consume-at-any-cost allurements facing youth today. Designed for youth ministers and youth ministry teachers, this collection of essays draws on the wisdom of resilient people who have weathered the onslaught facing Christian youth, and who want to help other youth workers continue to help youth live a Jesuscentered, full-bodied, and joy-filled life that counters the prevailing culture. This book is an excellent and timely resource, one that will become indispensable for youth leaders, pastors, and parents anyone wanting to understand holistic faith formation in youth in twenty-first century culture. It draws on deep wells of Anabaptist-Mennonite understandings of Jesus, the Bible, and faithful Christian living, in the context of the community of faith.

9 New and Notable New and Notable Part of the World Community Cookbook series Part of the Christians Meeting Muslims series More-with-Less Cookbook Updated Edition Doris Janzen Longacre pages. Hard spiral $24.99 USD/$28.99 CAD Paper This refreshed edition of Herald Press s all-time bestselling book will continue to help families and individuals establish a climate of joy and concern for others at mealtime. The late author s introductory chapters have been edited and revised for today s cooks. Statistics and nutritional information have been updated to reflect current American and Canadian eating habits, health issues, and diet guidelines. But the message has changed little from the one that Doris Janzen Longacre promoted in 1976, when the first edition was released. In many ways she was ahead of her time in advocating for people to eat more whole grains and more vegetables and fruits, with less meat, saturated fat, and sugars. More-with-Less Cookbook is more than a collection of recipes. When I was a young adult, it helped shape my worldview. The tips and suggestions taught me how to buy food and cook responsibly. It helped me realize that for Christians even the simple act of cooking a meal can be a testimony of faithfulness. Marlene Harder Bogard, Newton, Kansas A Muslim and a Christian in Dialogue Updated Edition Badru D. Kateregga and David W. Shenk pages. Paper $14.99 USD/$17.25 CAD This new edition includes study questions at the back to help groups engage the important topic of Muslim and Christian dialogue. Too often Muslim-Christian interaction has been antagonistic. This book pioneers and models another way that of authentic dialogue between friends. The issues that Kateregga and Shenk deal with are profound. They open up the basic questions of the human situation and confront similarities and differences in the Muslim and Christian responses. There are few books one can give to both a Christian and a Muslim that compare their faiths accurately, sensitively, and clearly. This book is at the top of that very short list. It models dialogue at its best. J. Dudley Woodberry, dean, Fuller School of World Mission This book is very informative and to the point. I have no hesitation in recommending it as a textbook for any course in comparative religion. Imam A.M. Khattab, director, Islamic Center of Greater Toledo The Upside-Down Kingdom Updated Edition Donald B. Kraybill pages. Paper $16.99 USD/$19.54 CAD With over one hundred thousand copies sold and translations in six languages, this book continues to change lives with Christ s upside-down message about the kingdom of God. Worldly authorities seek power and prestige, but Jesus counter-cultural message is a clear call to turn the social ladder upside down. This latest reprint includes three essays by writers whose lives have been impacted by the book. I found the book absolutely riveting and mindexpanding. Kraybill puts the principles of Jesus in a fresh and compelling perspective. Richard Hughes, professor, Pepperdine University Forgiveness A Legacy of the West Nickel Mines Amish School Updated Edition John Ruth pages. Paper $10.99 USD / $12.99 CAD Updated for the fifth anniversary. This sensitive and thoughtful book centers on the events in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, where in 2006 a gunman killed five school children, wounded five others, then killed himself. John Ruth focuses on the response from the local Amish community, offering a meditation on forgiveness and following Christ in the midst of grief. Even many Christians were stunned when the Amish community extended words of forgiveness toward the killer and his family. The author considers this extraordinary forgiveness as the legacy of that heartbreaking day. The updated edition marks the fifth anniversary of the events. 16 USA: Canada:

10 New and Notable Forming Christian Habits in Post- Christendom The Legacy of Alan and Eleanor Kreider James Krabill and Stuart Murray, editors pages. Paper $22.99 USD/$26.50 CAD Alan and Eleanor Kreider have been teaching and writing about mission, community, and worship from an Anabaptist perspective for almost four decades. While most of this ministry took place in United Kingdom and North American contexts, their influence spread to continental Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. The contributors to this volume all affected in some way by the Kreiders ministry are a global multi-voiced choir. They are younger and older, academics and community workers, new believers and veterans of the faith. They have come together to celebrate the lifelong contribution the Kreiders have made to forming in so many people the Christian habits necessary for living faithfully in a world where the unraveling of Christendom has never been more apparent. This book is a significant practical resource for anyone passionate about the renewal of mission, community, and worship in the church today. Quills Aaron J. Ratzlaff pages. Paper $13.99 USD/$16.00 CAD Porcupine loves her life. She s surrounded by friends who listen to her clever stories, and she has a body full of shiny quills that she brushes each night. But one day Porcupine s quills begin to fall out in handfuls and nothing can be done. Porcupine s happiness quickly turns to confusion and fear. Sad and embarrassed, Porcupine tries to cover the bald spots and hides out at home. She believes no one can love a porcupine without quills. Then her friend Giraffe stops by with a special gift and a message of acceptance. Many circumstances leave us feeling alone, embarrassed, and unlovable. Thankfully, God gives us friends and family who love us unconditionally, whether we are bald, hairy, or somewhere in between. For children ages four to eight. We are excited to add Quills to the bibliography of children s books in our School Packet for parents and educators.

16 Thematic Studies Thematic Studies With the Word A Bible Study and Devotional Guide for Groups or Individuals We draw closer to God when we spend time with the Word. This new Bible study and devotional series explores specific books of the Bible from an Anabaptist perspective. Each session takes groups or individuals through study, discussion, and reflection before ending with seven short devotionals. Also included are leader suggestions if used in a group setting. With the Word Psalms (10 sessions) Curriculum Body and Soul Healthy Sexuality and the People of God Curriculum. Sex is everywhere the media, movies, books, ads, schools, work, the Internet. Everywhere, it seems, but in church; it s one of the least talked-about issues in many congregations. Yet the Bible talks a lot about sexuality and if the Bible can celebrate the body, sex, and sexuality, then God s people can, too. Through a four-part series, Body and Soul: Healthy Sexuality and the People of God helps congregations discuss four basic themes related to sexuality: our bodies and how we see them; our human need for intimacy in relationships; the place of genital-sexual expression; and the ultimate holy desire that is at the foundation of our relationships with God and with others.
