God’s Word, My VoiceA Lectionary for Children
Lyn Zill Briggs
Want the children in your congregation to leave with God’s Word on their lips and in their hearts? This collection of The Revised Common Lectionary readings (Old Testament, Psalm, New Testament, and Gospel), are paraphrased for children to be read aloud in Sunday morning worship, will help kids easily read and understand the word God has for their lives. This collection of lectionary paraphrases is written in a child’s speaking voice, NOT as an adult telling a story to the children. The psalms include a refrain for the entire congregation that closely parallels to the Book of Common Prayer’s version.

A Great Cloud of WitnessesChurch Publishing Incorporated (CPI) is pleased to offer this expanded volume of optional commemorations of significant figures in the history of the Episcopal Church. It replaces the popular Holy Women, Holy Men. By action of the 2015 General Convention, Great Cloud of Witnesses is being made available for devotional or catechetical use and for use in public worship throughout the church. The binder edition is printed on a special
synthetic paper coated with a unique clay coating which combines the advantages of paper with the durability of plastic. This synthetic paper was chosen because it looks and feels like paper but stands up to water, weather, grease, chemicals, and resists tearing in both directions. If changes are made to the calendar of commemorations in future years, CPI will publish a special extension pack, so that individual pages may be replaced. We believe this format will be flexible for many years.

Words That ListenA Literary Companion to the Lectionary
Ian S. Markham and J. Barney Hawkins, IV
The great themes of faith are also the great themes of literature and the arts. As we come to terms with God, hope, faith, tragedy, guilt, fear, and love, so the poets, writers, musicians, and artists pick up the same themes. These volumes bring these two worlds together.

Water of Baptism, Water for LifeAn Activity Book
Anne E. Kitch Illustrated by Shelley Dieterichs
Water of Baptism is an illustrated activity book for 8-11 year olds (although adults will also find it informative) and families. It can be used in an educational or devotional setting at home, church, or school.
Water connects all physical and spiritual life. Besides being essential for life, water is the visible sign of baptism, which calls us to serve others in the world. Having clean water for all God’s children is an act of justice, love, respect and a core value of what it means to be a Christian.
These illustrated workbook activities tap into multiple learning levels and offer a variety of ways for children to interact with this core value of our faith, making a direct connection for young people between their faith and daily life. Activities also connect clean water and the Millennium Development Goals.

Taking the PlungeBaptism and Parenting
Anne E. Kitch
You’ve chosen the godparents, dressed the baby in yards of white, and headed to church for the christening. Now what? What does the sacrament of baptism mean in your child’s life—and yours? In Taking the Plunge, parents explore how the Baptismal Covenant helps to shape the experience of raising children. What are you promising when you baptize your child? Why are “please” and “thank you” theological words, not simply polite things to say? Anne Kitch writes with a light touch and includes plenty of real-life stories

Liturgical Resources 1: I Will Bless You and You Will Be a BlessingRevised and Expanded 2015
In 2012, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church commended Liturgical Resources 1: I Will Bless You, and You Will Be a Blessing for study and use throughout the Episcopal Church. In the 2013-2015 triennium, the materials were widely used in a number of dioceses, and the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music (SCLM) invited responses through several avenues.
This new volume is the result of this process. Resolution 2015-A054 directs that these liturgies be used under the direction and with the permission of the diocesan bishop, and stipulates that bishops exercising ecclesiastical authority or, where appropriate, ecclesiastical supervision will make provision for all couples asking to be married in the Episcopal Church to have access to the liturgies.

The Womb of AdventMark Bozzuti-Jones
This talented and imaginative writer offers a unique perspective on the season of Advent. Along with scripture readings and prayers, he offers four weeks of meditations that focus on the growth of Jesus in the womb of Mary as he approaches the day of his birth, learns his mother’s voice, responds to the presence of light and dark, and begins to position himself for birth. What does this teach us about our own spiritual journey through Advent? That waiting and preparation is essential to the Christian life. By reflecting on our own birth experiences and Jesus’s own progress through the womb, Christians learn how to remain intimate with God, how to approach the light, and how to get ready for new birth in Christ.

Pilgrim Series
Pilgrim is a teaching and discipleship resource that helps inquirers and new Christians explore what it means to travel through life with Christ. A Christian course for the 21st century, Pilgrim offers an approach of participation, not persuasion. Following the practice of the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer with quotes from the Christian tradition throughout the ages, Pilgrim assumes little or no knowledge of the Christian faith. Individuals or small groups on the journey of discipleship in the Episcopal tradition can use Pilgrim at any point.

Speaking Our FaithEquipping the Next Generations to Tell the Old, Old Story
Kit Carlson
Today, in a rapidly changing religious landscape, the structures of Christendom—which once almost automatically instilled faith in generation after generation of believers—are gone. For faithful Episcopalians, it has become essential
to learn how to “tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.” This is especially important for those generations born after the Baby Boom, that are experiencing the rapid rise of the “nones”—people who have lost their faith, or who have no faith at all. The time to speak, to share our faith, is now. Kit Carlson offers a road map for those who want to learn to speak about the faith that lives within them. Speaking Our Faith will help them put words to their experiences of God, create their own statements of belief, and to begin to have compassionate, caring conversations with other people about spirituality, belief, and Jesus Christ.

Done and Left UndoneGrace in the Meantime of Ministry
Scott Anson Benhase
In Done and Left Undone, Scott Benhase proposes an ascetical theology of leadership based in St. Benedict’s Promise of Stability, Obedience, and Conversation of Life. The Promise helps clergy to lead from their inward identity to their outward askesis (discipline), creating a
congruence between resting in the mercy of God’s grace and leading in the church. Leading from ascetical grace does not require parish clergy to be something they are not. It invites clergy to a way of being that will help them be both faithful and effective in parish leadership.

Phyllis TickleA Life
Jon M. Sweeney
By the time of her death in 2015, Phyllis Tickle was one of the most beloved and respected figures in American religious life, and her writing offers a unique combination of the down-to-earth, deep spirituality, and scholarship. In this
comprehensive new volume, Jon Sweeney, official biographer of Tickle’s literary estate, explores every aspect of her life, a more than 50-year legacy of poetry; plays; literary, spiritual, and historical/theological work; and advocacy. Himself an author and editor in the religion field, Sweeney examines Tickle’s personal and professional roots, from her family, long marriage, and life on The Farm in Lucy, Tennessee, to early academic career and move into book publishing, where her role as founding editor of the Religion Department at Publishers Weekly influenced the growth of spiritual writing and interfaith understanding during the 1990s. Sweeney also looks at pivotal relationships with John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, and Brian McLaren, as well as her great influence on the increasing number who adopted fixed-hour prayer, the Episcopal Church as a whole, and the Emerging Church, for which she served as historian, forecaster, and champion. A look at her early, passionate advocacy for the LGBT community, lecture circuit controversies, and projects left unfinished completes the picture.

Bivocational: Returning to the Roots of Ministry offers one answer to the pressing question of the future of congregational life in the mainline Protestant churches.

She Flies OnA White Southern Christian Debutante Wakes Up

She Flies On is not really a critique of organized religion, but rather Carter Heyward’s effort to think theologically, politically, socially, and autobiographically about the world and the church in which she has lived and worked. A Christian feminist “theologian of liberation,” Episcopal priest, lesbian, Southerner, and socialist Democrat, Heyward writes about the church, but more about the people—and creatures—of God going about their lives and attempting to love one another.

Falling into GraceExploring Our Inner Life with God
John Newton
Jesus was quite clear that we must lose our life before we find it. This book gives a hopeful and realistic look at what losing our life entails, articulating how “growth” in the Christian life is not our ascent to God but the process by which our eyes are opened to the beauty God has already given to us. It is a book about descending into God, and into our own inner depths, about the deep waters of the Christian faith.

Water of Baptism, Water for LifeAn Activity Book
Anne E. KitchIllustrated by Shelley Dieterichs
Water of Baptism is an illustrated activity book for 8–11 year olds (although adults will also find it informative) and families. It can be used in an educational or devotional setting at home, church, or school.
Water connects all physical and spiritual life. Besides being essential for life, water is the visible sign of baptism, which calls us to serve others in the world. Having clean water for all God’s children is an act of justice, love, respect, and a core value of what it means to be a Christian.
These illustrated workbook activities tap into multiple learning levels and offer a variety of ways for children to interact with this core value of our faith, making a direct connection for young people between their faith and daily life. Activities also connect clean water and the Millennium Development Goals.

The Complete Guide to Godly Play by Jerome W. Berryman
The eight volumes of The Complete Guide to Godly Play invite children from ages 3 to 12 (and beyond) to enter into a deeper and more spontaneous and playful relationship with God. Based on the Montessori method, Godly Play uses a purposeful telling of lessons and stories, engaging storytelling materials and the community of children themselves to encourage participants to seek and find their own answers to their faith questions.
This unique approach to religious education invites children to wonder about themselves, God and the world in a way that is both playful and meaningful. Godly Play is really a practice of spiritual guidance because it respects the innate spirituality of children and encourages them to use their own curiosity and imagination to experience deeply the joy and mystery of God.
Godly Play sessions can be adapted to fit meeting times from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Each lesson plan includes the story and a complete materials list.

Stories of God at HomeA Godly Play Approach
Jerome W. Berryman
Using Godly Play methods, Jerome Berryman offers families a way of nourishing faith in the family while supporting children’s spiritual growth through the practice of “storying,” our most ancient way of making meaning. This book offers “storying” rituals and techniques from Godly Play for exploring the meaning
of Christmas, Easter, Creation, the Parable of the Good Shepherd, Pentecost, and the Trinity to give sustenance to the family’s flow, play, love, and spirituality. Stories of God at Home follows the rhythm of life’s cycles (birth, death, earth, life, God, and depth) in telling biblical stories and shows how parents and caretakers can grasp their role with children using classic children’s literature.

Ecumenical and Interfaith
Interfaith FamiliesPersonal Stories of Jewish-Christian Intermarriage
“The candor of these stories make this an important resource for discussing intermarriage and conversion issues . . . this book makes us consider exactly what we mean when we talk about creating welcoming communities for interfaith families.”—The Reconstructionist
“Useful for intermarried couples and their families.”—Lilith
As the number of Jewish-Christian marriages in America continue to rise, couples find themselves searching for ways to reconcile love and religion. Even when each partner has no particular religious life, they are confronted with related conflicts.
Should children be raised in one faith and not the other? Who decides which holidays to celebrate and how? How can couples deal with extended family members who may not understand or accept their interfaith marriage?
Readers will find and array of reactions and approaches as the couples profiled in this book describe how they tacked these topics. Each personal narrative offers fresh insight into interfaith families by giving examples of the successes and failures, struggles and triumphs of everyday situations and major life decisions.

Practicing Reconciliation in a Violent WorldMichael Battle
How do we practice reconciliation in a world full of violence? How do we love someone at work who seems hell-bent on sabotaging a successful career? And how do religious people resolve differences when religious interpretations seem to lead to righteous indignation rather than reconciliation? We practice reconciliation, according to Michael Battle, by affirming that God is present and acting on that belief, even in the midst of something that looks more like the devil’s work.

Reckless LoveThe Scandal of Grace in a Performance-Driven World
John Newton
Its momentum building, the “Jesus Movement” is unfolding, with Episcopalians longing to embody our branch of the movement in the world. John Newton’s contribution is this look at God’s reckless love. His aim is not for the head, but for the heart, to connect people with their passion and love for Jesus Christ, reawakening
what may be dormant, because ultimately, it is not clever ideas but passion that mobilizes people.
Three discussion questions in each chapter and the book can be used as a 10-week study, with groups discussing two chapters at a time. Chapters are intentionally short, and each unpacks a specific episode in Jesus’s life that illuminates the reckless love of God in Christ.

for one’s subject, and gentle concern for one’s readers which occurs all too rarely and then only in the hands of a devout and gifted writer.”

is exactly what Kimberly has done. She helps us to create this tangible form of prayer for ourselves and gives us her love, her prayers and her blessing to start our own journey.”
—Kathy Cueva, President, Prayers & Squares, The Prayer Quilt Ministry“Bead One, Pray Too is the most comprehensive, informative, and enjoyable review of the
Christian tradition of using and making beads as an aid to prayer and spirituality that I have read. People of all traditions will fi nd something valuable here to help enhance their prayer life.”
—Ken Norian, TSSF, Minister Provincial, Third Order, Society of St Francis in the AmericasI did not expect that this handful of beads would set me on a path of prayer that would change the way I think about God and my relationship to him. But it did. After a week or so of praying with the beads every day, I began to feel my mind click off in the middle of the recitation. The almost constant chatter that runs through my head—my perennially long list of chores and tasks and worries—began to recede.

“In Bead One, Pray Too, Kimberly Winston has created a treasure trove of information and pastoral guidance. There is in this rich, visually handsome volume that mix of deft writing, informed affection
for one’s subject, and gentle concern for one’s readers which occurs all too rarely and then only in the hands of a devout and gifted writer.”
—Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours“From the beginning of this book I could hear the hymn ‘Peace Give I To Thee’ and that
is exactly what Kimberly has done. She helps us to create this tangible form of prayer for ourselves and gives us her love, her prayers and her blessing to start our own journey.”
—Kathy Cueva, President, Prayers & Squares, The Prayer Quilt Ministry“Bead One, Pray Too is the most comprehensive, informative, and enjoyable review of the
Christian tradition of using and making beads as an aid to prayer and spirituality that I have read. People of all traditions will fi nd something valuable here to help enhance their prayer life.”
—Ken Norian, TSSF, Minister Provincial, Third Order, Society of St Francis in the AmericasI did not expect that this handful of beads would set me on a path of prayer that would change the way I think about God and my relationship to him. But it did. After a week or so of praying with the beads every day, I began to feel my mind click off in the middle of the recitation. The almost constant chatter that runs through my head—my perennially long list of chores and tasks and worries—began to recede. In its place came a stillness, a place where there is only me, my beads, and my longing for God.

Done and Left UndoneGrace in the Meantime of Ministry
Scott Anson Benhase
In Done and Left Undone, Scott Benhase proposes an ascetical theology of leadership based in St. Benedict’s Promise of Stability, Obedience, and Conversation of Life. The Promise helps clergy to lead from their inward identity to their outward askesis (discipline), creating a congruence between resting in the mercy of God’s grace and leading in the church. Leading from ascetical grace does not require parish clergy to be something they are not. It invites clergy to a way of being that will help them be both faithful and effective in parish leadership.

Fearless Major GiftsInspiring Meaning-Making
Charles LaFond
Every major gift is planned, and every planned gift is major; Fearless Major Gifts intentionally blurs those lines with the premise that if one knows how to identify,
evaluate, cultivate, and finally ask for the gift, it does not matter if it is a major gift or is a will inclusion. Clergy and lay leaders are often terrified of asking for major and planned gifts, even as parishes need them and donors need to give them. Seminaries do not necessarily teach how to do this essential work of ministry. LaFond is filling that educational gap.
