  Additional Info
  Fortress Press’s Foundations for Learning series prepares students for academic success through compelling resources that kick-start their educational journey into professional Christian ministry. In Exploring Practices of Ministry, Pamela Cooper-White and Michael Cooper-White share insights from their extensive experience as parish ministers, church agency executives, and seminary educators in diverse multicultural and international contexts. Pamela, an Episcopal priest who teaches pastoral theology, care, and counseling, is also a pastoral psychotherapist with an extensive clinical background. Michael, a Lutheran pastor and seminary president, is also a pilot and flight instructor and has served as a chaplain with the Civil Air Patrol.

  The authors share their wisdom with seminarians and other readers seeking to deepen theological reflection and expand skills as ministry practitioners. While not all readers are preparing to be ordained ministers, most will engage in many of the practices described in the book: preaching and public speaking, teaching, leading liturgies, conducting ceremonies, counseling and offering pastoral support for persons undergoing life transitions, and serving as organizational leaders in congregations, chaplaincies, social ministries, and in the public arena. This book is a companion journal for pilgrims on the way to becoming confident practitioners of ministry.

  Comeback God : A Theological Primer For A Life Of Faith

  $12.99

  The basic thesis is that Yahweh of Israel and the God who raised Jesus, often appearing throughout history to be “down for the count,” has an amazing comeback -ability. In the current postmodern context, where many despair of faith and seem to circle back to the 1960’s conclusion that “God is dead,” this book holds forth a reason to believe and a pathway to probe more deeply in contemporary images and language the age-old truth and traditions of faith.
