Discipling The Diseased Imagination
$24.99How does the imagination affect our spiritual growth and discipleship? Is it possible for our imaginations to cause harm in the world?
In his search to understand how the imagination works and how theology can nurture it for cultural discipleship, Justin Ariel Bailey realized the limitations of common discipleship models: The pursuit of spiritual growth often devolves into information transfer and behavior modification. Bailey argues that imagination is at the heart of discipleship, influencing our choices, behaviors, and beliefs about God, ourselves, and the world. But it needs both healing and training–a diseased imagination can result in harm to self and others.
Bailey examines the imagination’s role in spiritual life, from perception and attention to hope and emotion, while diagnosing its diseases, including hypocrisy, distraction, control, and self-deception. Each chapter ends with an orienting prayer, culminating in a longer prayer that captures the book’s themes.
With theological depth and pastoral wisdom, Bailey invites readers to reclaim their imaginations as a vital part of discipleship, shaping a life of deeper love and justice.

When God Seems Distant
$21.99What If Times of Spiritual Dryness Are Actually Part of God’s Plan?
– Discover how to reframe times when God feels distant
– Go beyond willpower and habit modification to true spiritual growth
– Learn to live in , not just through, fallow timesMost Christians experience zeal early in their Christian life, but when that fades to a season of dryness, it’s tempting to assume one of two things: We have failed or God is absent. So we throw ourselves into ministry, spiritual disciplines, and study in order to break through to the other side of this dry season, not realizing that willpower and habit modification cannot “fix” our spiritual lives or kick-start a new season of spiritual growth. Why? Because we’ve missed the point of the wilderness.
Far from being evidence that we’re failing in our faith, spiritual dry seasons are actually part of God’s plan to draw us into a deeper walk with him. With the wisdom and compassion of those who have been there, Kyle Strobel and John Coe invite you to draw near to the Lord as you walk through the differing seasons of the soul. They explain the purpose of the wilderness in the story of God’s people–including our Savior–and show how our spiritual lives actually benefit from times of dryness.
If you have found yourself in the desert, desperately longing for the living waters Jesus promises, this book will assure you that God is not absent–and you may be on the cusp of experiencing a deeper faith.

*Gives practical spiritual guidance for resisting empire’s daily influence
*Explores how early Christians navigated imperial pressures
*Unpacks how empire influences how we see ourselves and othersEveryone wants to belong.
What does true belonging look like when the society you live in is not something you want to “belong” to?
In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power.
Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation. She begins by examining how empire affects us daily through its pervasive ideologies and systems of control. Drawing from decolonial and postcolonial biblical interpretation, she explores how the New Testament church resisted Roman imperial power while building communities centered on God’s kingdom values rather than worldly dominance.
This book offers hope for Christians struggling to live faithfully within systems of exploitation and oppression. Armas provides practical spiritual disciplines, community-building strategies, and theological frameworks that empower readers to resist empire’s dehumanizing effects while cultivating spaces of authentic belonging and liberation.
Discover a spiritual way of life that you actually want to belong to–one liturgy at a time.
