Last updated on: January 4, 2016 at 12:56 pm By Byron Borger

MEMOIRS Everyone, I think, should read a memoir every so often. Engaging the same part of the brain that fiction does, a well-written story of an author’s life, or a narration of a part of his or her life, can be as engaging and enjoyable as a novel. I’ve read memoirs I so enjoyed that I’d slap my thigh and say I can hardly believe it, saying, once again, that you can’t make this stuff up! I think it... Read more

Saved by the book: Can Self-Help Books Be Better Than Therapy?

Last updated on: December 23, 2015 at 3:16 pm By Mission:Work

Elizabeth Svoboda writes at Aeon about how this was certainly true in her own life and may well be true for others as well: For many patients, so-called ‘bibliotherapy’ seems to work as well as talk therapy or drugs such as Prozac. In an ideal world, says the psychologist John Norcross at the University of Scranton, self-help books would be tried early in the course of therapy; medications and other intensive treatments would be a last resort, reserved for more...

Redeeming a Renegade Creation

Last updated on: December 23, 2015 at 3:25 pm By Mission:Work

This comes to us from our friend Christ John Otto who has written on the arts and culture over at MISSION:WORK, announcing his new book: He’s the most important prophet that you may have never heard about. He was the first person in the Bible to be filled with the Holy Spirit. He was given an important job to do, but very few have written about him. Those who have written about him have not given him an in depth... Read more

Resources on faith and vocation especially for small group studies

Last updated on: December 8, 2015 at 5:41 pm By Chris Armstrong

Adapted from Grateful to the Dead. Friend Phil Harrold at Trinity School for Ministry in Pittsburgh asks (in the comments area of this post), “What are your top picks for books on Christian faith and vocation?” Here’s my off-the-cuff answer: If you are willing to do some selection, a great sourcebook is Callings, by William Placher. Steve Garber’s new Visions of Vocation is more involved, but also more narrative – likely especially appealing/useful for millennials or at least younger Christians.... Read more

Five books you didn’t read in school

Last updated on: December 15, 2015 at 12:31 pm By Guest Contributor

While this column was originally published at Faith and Leadership for pastors, we here at Patheos Faith and Work think that these books have the potential to reignite faith and inspire leadership for folks in a host of careers. After gobbling up Augustine, Julian of Norwich, and a whole host of Germans with names like Ernst and Emil, you left seminary and went about the less than quiet business of leading a congregation, an organization or a school. And it... Read more
