A restorative, life-giving vision of pastoral work
In times of confusion and chaos, people often find that their path to wholeness runs through a garden. Tending plants and tilling soil are timeless, restorative acts that can renew our sense of identity and purpose. In The Pastor as Gardener, Matthew Erickson taps into this truth and applies it to the work of pastoral ministry.
Writing for clergy who question whether meaningful ministry is possible in our current cultural context, Erickson encourages pastors to reframe their vocation as the work of a gardener. Bringing together Scripture and practical theology, he shows how gardening metaphors offer new ways of thinking about critical issues in pastoral work: effectiveness, humility, hospitality, and more. Readers will come away with a deeper appreciation for their ministry environment, a better understanding of the stages of growth in the pastoral life, and an increased ability to persevere in ministry even when fruit is not immediately apparent.
Nuanced and insightful, The Pastor as Gardener will appeal to readers who appreciate the pastoral wisdom of Eugene Peterson and the agrarian sensibilities of Wendell Berry. For ministers seeking a sense of vocation that is deeply rooted but also dynamic, this book is essential reading.
"We kneel with our hands in the soil of pastoral ministry, finding connection with those who have done this work before us and those who will do it after we are gone. We learn from Jesus, who is simultaneously the seed, the vine, and the gardener."

How Millennialists Helped Abolish Slavery and Reform America

# data[].attributes.description
Shows how apocalypticism helped drive anti-slavery abolitionism and inspire progressive social reform in nineteenth-century America

In March 1844, Melissa Botsford of Meriden, Connecticut, defiantly left her local Methodist church because it supported slavery and other sins that permeated America. Botsford was among one hundred thousand other abolitionists who abandoned their evangelical churches throughout the decade. These protesters came out with a stern apocalyptic warning: God would soon judge Americaand its churchesfor the sins of slavery and race prejudice.

It has long been assumed that apocalypticism is antithetical to social reform. Yet in Apocalyptic Abolitionism, Kevin M. Burton uncovers the untold story of how apocalypticism shaped the abolitionist cause and helped destroy slavery in the United States. Contrary to popular opinion, the revival fires of the Second Great Awakening did not drive most evangelicals to progressive social reforms like abolitionism. Neither were the denominational schisms during that period a fight between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. Rather, before the Methodist and Baptist denominations split along sectional lines, most abolitionists, particularly members of the Adventist movement, had already left their churches in what was likely the largest mass exodus from mainstream evangelicalism in American history, precisely because most evangelicals opposed radical social reform movements. This volume makes the case that evangelicals receive undeserved credit for antislavery, and that it was apocalyptic abolitionists who led the way.

Drawing from rare and overlooked sources to create a database of biographies of nearly 2000 people to track their religious affiliations and activism over time, Burton offers invaluable data to develop a robust framework for understanding apocalypticism, evangelicalism, and social reform politics of the nineteenth century.

Rock Art of the Waterberg: Rites and Transformation is a landmark archaeological study that unveils the nuanced world view and rituals practised by local Bushman groups living in the Waterberg area of northern South Africa millennia ago. Through unprecedented documentation of 130 rock art sites; many photographed for the first time; Lyn Wadley and Ghilraen Laue reveal a complex narrative of human creativity and cultural interaction.

Strategically located along river corridors leading to the Limpopo River, these sites offer an extraordinary glimpse into the lives of Bushman hunter-gatherers, Iron Age farmers and Khoekhoe herders. Their intricate visual languages span three distinct painting traditions: delicate Bushman fine-line art, robust Iron Age finger paintings and enigmatic geometric works that speak to millennia of cultural exchange.

Beyond mere documentation, the book explores profound themes of human experience; hunting, initiation, healing and spiritual transformation. Archaeological evidence illuminates how these diverse groups coexisted and influenced one another cultural practices over two thousand years, challenging simplistic narratives of cultural isolation.

Richly illustrated with archival photographs, enhanced views of the rock sites using cutting-edge photographic technology and original artworks by local artists, Rock Art of the Waterberg is a powerful testament to early human creativity and offers a crucial argument for preserving these fragile cultural archives. This ground-breaking study redefines our understanding of South African rock art and cultural heritage, offering scholars and enthusiasts an unprecedented journey into a forgotten world.

Where did the Israelites originate? What was the fate of the Canaanites? In this revealing introduction, Jonathan M. Golden tackles these and other hotly debated questions. Drawing on the extensive and often surprising archeological record, he looks at daily life in antiquity, providing rich portraits of the role of women, craft production, metallurgy, technology, political and social organization, trade, and religious practices. Golden traces the great religious traditions that emerged in this region back to their most ancient roots, drawing on the evidence of scriptures and other texts as well as the archeological record. Though the scriptures stress the primacy of Israel, the author considers the Canaanites and Philistines as well, examining the differences between highland and coastal cultures and the cross-fertilization between societies. He offers a clear, objective look at the evidence for the historical accuracy of the biblical narrative, based on the latest thinking among archeologists worldwide.

New Thinking for More Effective, Accountable, and Sustainable Public Service Contracts

# data[].attributes.description
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) play an increasingly central role in the delivery of public services worldwide, promoting long-term institutional cooperation through multisector partnerships. If well-structured and managed, PPPs offer the opportunity to expand public service capacities while sharing financial and operational risks and responsibilities with private partners. Yet many PPPs experience conflict and fail, squandering public resources and falling short in serving the public interest.

Contracting for Public Value extensively analyzes the contractual arrangements and relationships that serve as the scaffolding for PPPs, and how they can be designed, developed, and managed to promote more effective, accountable, and sustainable partnerships for public services delivery. The book focuses on two in-depth case studies of complex, multiactor PPPs--one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom--that employed outcomes-based contracts in arranging for service provision to vulnerable populations. Drawing on multiple theoretical models, the book characterizes the organizational structures, contractual features, and exchange relationships among the respective sets of PPP partners. It presents theory-informed, comparative analyses using rich case-study data to illuminate how the formal and relational contract features structured the collaborations and either supported or impeded the success of the PPPs. The analysis generates new knowledge that challenges the predominance of the traditional formal contract that has governed most PPPs and introduces new thinking about relational contracting and systems change to enhance the success of PPPs.

Practitioners will derive specific, original guidance and examples from this book on how to champion public value in designing and executing a PPP contract, center relationship building and fortify PPPs with effective institutional and accountability mechanisms, and sustain long-term, public-private collaboration.

Real Estate 101 - Your 1st Year Florida Edition

# data[].attributes.description
When I became a Realtor, I knew absolutely nothing a just like many others starting out. To survive, I filled a massive notebook with tips, reminders, and hard-earned lessons. At one point, I joked that I should turn it into a book. So I did.

This guide doesn't dive very deep into every subject; instead, it's more like a roadmap. I can point you toward the destination, but what you do when you arrive will depend on the situation. Every client, transaction, and market is different; that's the reality of real estate.

What this book does give you is direction. It's enough to help you find your footing, build confidence, and know you're not wandering through the business alone. My hope is simple: that new agents can open these pages, feel a little steadier, and say, "I can do this."

Because you can. And we're all rooting for you.
