Tried and True: The Countercultural Virtues of Christian Leadership

"Successful leadership needs more than top-down strategic plans and lofty vision statements. Real leadership happens at the intersection of a leader’s inner life with the outer expression of care for their organization and the communities it serves. To find sustainable paths of leadership, we can look to reliable guidance from those whose legacy has stood the test of time. Tried and True offers a unique convergence of the decades of leadership experience and scholarship of authors Margaret Diddams and Shirley Mullen with a historical exploration of John Wesley’s life and leadership. Informed by their personal and professional journeys in both higher education and the corporate world, Diddams and Mullen provide a comprehensive, scholarly, and practical study of John Wesley’s leadership practices that shaped not just the church but the entire society. In Tried and True, Diddams and Mullen - speak to today's leadership fatigue with a focus on sustainable, character-driven leadership; - revive John Wesley's timeless leadership practices for modern challenges; and - integrate inner character with outward institutional impact for a vision of sustainable leadership. - offer a hope-filled vision for today’s leaders and the institutions they serve."

Sex and Dissent: Stories of Feminist Resistance in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Spain

"'Revelatory. . . . At a time of great backlash and regression, North American women should indeed look to Latin America for a new way forward."-Sarah Weinman, author of Without Consent Four electrifying and hopeful accounts of feminist uprising that have swept through Latin America and Spain in the wake of #MeToo-and what we can learn from these protest cultures in a fraught moment for democracy in the US As women's rights have faced alarming rollbacks in the United States over the past decade, mass feminist movements beyond our borders have achieved historic victories. Award-winning journalist Meaghan Beatley takes us to the frontlines to tell inspiring stories of resistance and political imagination that will be a vital roadmap in the years to come. In Argentina, a national reckoning over abortion-sparked, in part, by an unholy alliance with a popular gossip show-ignited a nationwide movement that led to the legalization of abortion. Across the Andes, young feminists in Chile fueled a constitutional rewrite to confront deep structural inequality. In Spain, a high-profile sexual assault case cracked open a fierce public debate, redefining the meaning of consent. And in Mexico, balaclava-clad student protesters occupied a government building to force the epidemic of femicide into the national spotlight. The product of a decade of immersive reporting, Beatley captures the urgency and creativity of these movements and the women who led a motley crew of former guerrilla fighters, student occupiers, and mothers standing down narco violence. At once intimate and politically electric, Sex and Dissent reframes the global struggle for equality-and offers a model for building power, solidarity, and radical democratic change."

The Way of the Desert Elders: How the Wisdom of Ancient Christians Sustains Us Today

"For all that bewilders and bedevils us, the desert mothers and fathers can help us. In The Way of the Desert Elders, Lisa Colón DeLay asks: What if desert elders from more than a millennium ago could walk beside us and nourish our spirits? Starting in the fourth century, half a million Christians fled the villages and cities of the Roman Empire. Leaving behind comforts, they battled what Evagrius called 'afflicting thoughts,' which still unsettle us today. Yet they discovered a spirituality durable enough to endure harsh conditions and self-denial, sturdy enough to flourish in abandoned places. DeLay introduces us to a cast of characters who were devoted and flawed. Like us, the desert abbas and ammas wrestled with gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, acedia, despondency, vainglory, envy, and pride. DeLay brings the timeless sagacity of these spiritual companions to bear on our own barren times, offering reflection questions, prayers, and suggestions. Desert spirituality doesn't mean going it alone; it means finding companions to walk with us. With their ordinary longings and extraordinary commitments, the desert elders can lead us toward peace, spiritual growth, and intimacy with God."

For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage

"A provocative, authoritative reckoning with the past and future of marriage, explaining why it's become more rewarding as well as riskier Marriage rates have fallen dramatically since the 1970s. Yet far from devaluing marriage, people still overwhelmingly describe marriage as the highest commitment they can imagine. Most Americans say they want to marry eventually, and couples who do marry have a lower chance of divorce than at any time since the 1970s. Increasingly, though, people tell pollsters they "have no idea" if they actually will end up married. And unlike in the past, young women are more uncertain than young men. In For Better and Worse, Stephanie Coontz-author of the "rich, provocative, and entertaining" book Marriage, A History-unravels the roots of such paradoxical trends. Examining five critical periods of historical transformation, she reveals how shifting romantic ideals, gender expectations, sexual mores, and cultural myths have bequeathed us a welter of contradictory beliefs, dysfunctional habits, and emotional earworms that make it hard to adjust our family relationships to the social and economic challenges of twenty-first-century life. Coontz demonstrates that today's widespread nostalgia for a seemingly more stable past is an understandable reaction to heightened economic insecurity and eroding social solidarities. But trying to reproduce a largely imaginary golden age of marriage from the past simply locks us into a restricted future. Current public debates about marriage are dominated by two diametrically opposed groups. One argues that marriage is the only sure route to personal happiness and social stability; the other, that marriage is inherently oppressive. Coontz puts forward a radical middle ground, pointing to surprising new research on the personal changes and the policy innovations that can help people create successful relationships, in or out of marriage."
