The Augustinian Pastor Deep Wisdom for Modern Ministry
Joseph H. Sherrard Foreword by Esau McCaulley
A veteran pastor retrieves the theology, life, and ministry of Augustine for the increasingly complex task of pastoral ministry in the twenty-first century.
“Many pastors have become interested in welcoming Augustine of Hippo, one of the greatest pastor-theologians of all time, into their inner circle. If pastors want to apprentice themselves to Augustine, The Augustinian Pastor is the place to start.” —Joshua Chatraw, Beeson Divinity School “The topics Sherrard selects are apt, the pastoral practices he examines are edifying, and the wisdom he gleans from Augustine’s writings is richly instruc- tive.” —Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Litfin Divinity School, Wheaton College Joseph H. Sherrard (PhD, University of St. Andrews) has been pastoring for nearly twenty years. He serves as pastor of discipleship at Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, is a senior fellow of the Center for Pastor Theologians, and is a guest lecturer at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando.

Gratitude to God The Heart of Christian Formation Kent Dunnington Foreword by Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung
This book offers a robust theological and philosophical perspective on grati- tude to God, showing the importance of biblical thanksgiving for our spiritual growth.
“This book contains some of the very best work on gratitude of which I am aware. A splendid contribution to a crucial topic.” —Miroslav Volf, Yale Divinity School; author of The Cost of Ambition “ Gratitude is ground zero of the Christian life, yet gratitude to God is uniquely challenging. In this brilliant synthesis of psychological inquiry, philosophical reflection, and practical theology, Dunnington gets to the heart of why this is the case. Most importantly, he offers a path forward to reinvigorate your spiritual journey toward graced gratitude and life in all its fullness.” —Robert A. Emmons, University of California, Davis (emeritus); editor in chief, The Journal of Positive Psychology
Kent Dunnington (PhD, Texas A&M University) is professor of philosophy at Biola University.
