It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves

to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people. ~~John Wesley

Blessed Are The Pacifists  (Preview pages are available at this link)
Social Action 2009
Thomas Trzyna takes a fresh look at pacifism as a way of life and a practical method of conflict resolution grounded in the Scripture, particularly the Beatitudes. Based on a study of just war theory and contemporary world events, Trzyna views pacifism as a way of life, its success measured not in years, but generations.

Education for Mission 2010
Food plays a remarkable role in the daily routine of our lives. Whether we make time to eat with our families, or hit the drive-through on the way to doing something else, food and how we approach it has the extraordinary power to unite us with others and nurture our connection to the Divine.

Leadership Development 2011
This is a combination narrative and informative book that offers an in-depth review of the pertinent issues that await the modern member of a Board of Directors. Calvin K. Clemons introduces us to Rebecca Mayfield, an up-and-coming Board member learning the ropes of her new job. Through Rebecca's story, Clemons shares the informative tips he has gleaned from extensive personal experience.

Leadership Development 2011
A multicultural conference has convened. Everything is in place, and the participants arrive brimming with goodwill and even better intentions. Surely this time...! But, no. Halfway through the meetings, communication grinds to a halt, and people retreat to the safety of their own groups. What happened? And how can we keep it from happening again? Those are the questions this book proposes to answer.
