The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical
By: Shane Claiborne
Zondervan / 2006 / Paperback

Product Description
During college, a professor remarked, "Being a Christian is about choosing Jesus and deciding to do something incredibly daring with your life." Taking up that challenge, Shane's faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. In The Irresistible Revolution, you'll be challenged by a radical Christianity passionate for peace, social justice, and alleviating the suffering found in the local neighborhood and distant reaches of the world. Live out your faith with little acts of radical love as you join the movement of God's Spirit into a broken world.

Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals
By: Shane Claiborne, Chris Haw
Zondervan / 2008 / Paperback

Product Description
Jesus for President is a radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people “set apart” from this world. In what can be termed lyrical theology, Jesus for President poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message. It is a collaboration of Shane Claiborne’s writing and stories, Chris Haw’s reflections and research, and art and design.
 
Drawing upon the work of biblical theologians, the lessons of church history, and the examples of modern-day saints and ordinary radicals, Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the Church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar.
 
A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of “Should I vote or not?” and “Which candidate?” by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance. It’s written for those who seek to follow Jesus, rediscover the spirit of the early church, and incarnate the kingdom of God.

Free to Be Bound
By: Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Deliberate / 2008 / Paperback

Product Description
Jonathan was a product of the new South: color-blind and culturally sensitive. Yet despite his progressive worldview, he was unaware of the invisible borders that still divide local communities. Free to Be Bound chronicles Jonathan$rsquo;s experience as he crosses color lines that fragment the church--lines that should make us question why they exist at all. With an honest heart and passionate voice, Jonathan delivers a call for true unity within the church that will inspire every believer.

Inhabiting the Church
Biblical Wisdom for a New Monasticism
By Jon R. Stock, Tim Otto, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Cascade Books / 2006 / Paperback

Product Description
If the church is more than just a building, what could it mean to live in it—to inhabit it as a way of life? From their location in new monastic communities, Otto, Stock, and Wilson-Hartgrove ask what the church can learn from St. Benedict's vows of conversion, obedience, and stability about how to live as the people of God in the world. In story-telling and serious engagement with Scripture, old wisdom breathes life into a new monasticism. But, like all monastic wisdom, these reflections are not just for monks. They speak directly to the challenge of being the church in America today and the good news Christ offers for the whole world.

New Monasticism
What It Has to Say to Today’s Church
By: Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Brazos Press / 2008 / Paperback

Product Description
New Monasticism is a growing movement of committed Christians who are recovering the radical discipleship of monasticism and unearthing a fresh expression of Christianity in America. It’s not centered in a traditional monastery (many New Monastics are married with children) but instead its members live radically, settling in abandoned sections of society, committing to community, sharing incomes, serving the poor, and practicing spiritual disciplines. New Monasticism by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove offers an insider’s perspective into the life of the New Monastics and shows how this movement is dependent on the church for stability, diversity, and structure.

Iraq Journal 2003
by Shane Claiborne
Doulos Christou Press / 2006 / Paperback

Product Description
IRAQ JOURNAL 2003 is Shane Claiborne's account of his peacemaking trip to Iraq in March 2003, just before the US invasion. Told mostly through emails that he sent home, this book offers a gracious and humanizing depiction of the Iraqi people. Shane Claiborne is a member of the Simple Way community in Philadelphia and is also author of the recent book THE IRRESISTIBLE REVOLUTION (Zondervan 2006). From the rear cover: "One of the children we are close to, Amal, decided to celebrate her 13th birthday with us! So we had a feast, grilled out in a park nearby... As we were playing a little game of balloon volleyball, bombs began to explode in the background. The adults all looked uneasily at each other, but we kept playing. Then one explosion hit very close. A couple of us huddled down with the little children... These children were raised hearing bombs, in 1998, in 1991... and yet they will still play in a park with the people whose country is destroying theirs... As bombs continued to thunder in the background, I was reminded once again that life is more powerful than death, that children can teach old tyrants and cynics how to love."

Another World is Possible Vol. III Creation
By: Shane Claiborne & Friends
awip.us / 2006 / DVD & CD:

Product Description
God took dirt and breathed life into it. And then there was humanity. Humanity took life and breathed dirt into it. And now we have a mess. We are made in the image of a Creator, and yet much of what we have created has made the rest of Creation groan for liberation. In this volume, a host of ordinary radicals invite us to think about what it means to care for the earth, and to be co-creators with a God of beauty rather than destruction. We will see toxic lots become gardens, trash turned into fashion show glamour, used vegetable oil become fuel for diesel engines – ugly things brought to life. There really is the sense that maybe, just maybe, conversion can mean that the world will look different than it does now. Maybe its too much fun for a single volume, but the big-top circus hits the inner city and a group of intergalactic superheroes visit earth & some young collaborative artists teach us why the prophets say that a child will lead us into the dreams of God. That's what we're talking about: Creation.
