@orbisbooks has always been about reading the signs of the times. As these new titles show, that means keeping hope and faith alive in the midst of all the assaults and threats we face—whether from bad politics, bad theology, white supremacy, or ecological disaster. #AARSBL2021

Enjoyed watching this inspiring and challenging documentary coming out in January about Christians who took seriously the gospel message of peace. And wonderful to see so many longtime friends interviewed. So many memories.
