When I am Among Friends I am Least Disabled, by Martin Hobgen
'A book to be read by those working in disability theology as a discipline, but also holds important insights for church congregations and pastors as a whole'
Becoming the pastor’s wife, by Beth Allison Barr
'Remarkable and accessible' book examining the connection between the decline of female ordination (present in late Roman times and in the medieval period) and the development of the role of the pastor’s wife in evangelical churches
Life Beyond Suicide, by Samuel Wells, Ann Feloy and David Mosse
Written for those considering how to help people affected by the horrors of suicide or are contemplating ending their own lives - not an ‘easy read’ but a ‘must read’ for individuals and pastoral groups
Unmasking the Angel, by Stephen Langford
'A rich and thoughtful resource... plenty of information regarding prayerfully considering the personality of churches'
Fringe Dweller, by Jonny Baker and David Cotterill
Recommended devotional and resource book - 40 stories about people on the margins that Jesus met and ministered to in some way, with liturgies and responses you can use straight out of the box expanding on those ideas
God’s Book, by Andrew Ollerton
'Though I have concerns on a couple of aspects as a former medical doctor, this is nevertheless a highly readable, helpful primer on some of the Bible’s many tough topics, full of memorable anecdotes and allusions'
