“So Beautiful,” by Leonard Sweet

It is not religion and reason that go together, but religion and relationship—atoms alone do not make up the universe, but rather atoms in relationship with each other, held together by the weak force. Leonard Sweet, So Beautiful: Divine Design for Life and the Church, 104–105

“Changing Signs of Truth,” by Crystal Downing

Stories sweep us up and out, stories help our hearts and minds to focus. When we are thoroughly in the "now" of a story, we long to risk the next step, to write the next chapter, and follow where this story is going to take us.

“Men and Women in Christ,” by Andrew Bartlett

If you are searching for a work that keeps sight of the bigger picture while scrutinizing the debate from every possible angle, then this is the book for you. #MenandWomeninChrist #AndrewBartlett

“Good News for Women,” by Rebecca Merrill Groothuis

This book may be twenty-five years old, but it is anything but anachronistic. Both scholarly and approachable, the argumentation is impeccable and the citations good. #GoodNewsforWomen #Groothuis #RebeccaMerrillGroothuis

“Nobody’s Mother,” by Sandra L. Glahn

This book is not only worth reading for the background on Artemis, it does a sturdy job of addressing a tough biblical text. #NobodysMother #SandraLGahn #1Timothy2 #Artemis

“The Bible and Sexuality,” by Karen R. Keen

In my opinion, this little primer could be developed into a sturdy textbook for Christians on all sides of this hot topic today. #TheBibleandSexuality #KarenRKeen #NashvilleStatement #BiblicalSexuality

“Strange Religion” by Nijay K. Gupta

I really enjoy reading Nijay Gupta’s work, and Strange Religion is just as interesting and appealing as everything else I have read from this author. I highly recommend it. #StrangeReligion #WeirdReligion #NijayKGupta

The Tru316 Foundation

There are 66 books in the Bible, with 929 chapters, and 31, 102 verses. Over thirty thousand verses! But, The Tru316 Foundation focuses on just one verse: Genesis 3:16. #Tru316 #Genesis316 #BruceCEFleming

“The Creation of Patriarchy” by Gerda Lerner

Is it possible to trace the origins of the patriarchal systems that have been practiced worldwide for thousands of years? #CreationofPatriarchy #GerdaLerner

“Cultural Christians in the Early Church” by Nadya Williams

I would recommend Cultural Christians in the Early Church, by Nadya Williams, to exactly the audience the author specifies: those who yearn for the "good ole days" of the church. #CulturalChristiansInTheEarlyChurch #NadyaWilliams
