|  | Willow Creek Seeker Services by Gregory A. Pritchard
It has been described as the undisputed prototype of a new way of doing church and as the most influential church in North America and perhaps the world. Profiles of Willow Creek Community Church have appeared in the New York Times, Time magazine, Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, U.S.A. Weekend, and Christianity Today and on an ABC documentary reported by Peter Jennings. Willow Creek Seeker Services: Evaluating a New Way of Doing Church is a major, comprehensive study of this new wave that is influencing thousands of churches and their leaders and members worldwide. Based on scores of interviews and extensive research, the first part of the book describes Willow Creek's efforts to help unchurched individuals convert to the gospel through weekend seeker services. The concluding section of the book offers a theological evaluation, asking what we all can learn from the Willow Creek phenomenon. Readers will find this a fascinating and balanced look at a new wave that is revolutionizing churches and stirring up considerable contemporary debate. AUTHOR: Gregory A. Pritchard

 | Genuine Reality
Intellectual rebel, romantic pragmatist, aristocratic pluralist, William James was both a towering figure of the nineteenth century and a harbinger of the twentieth. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including 1,500 letters between James and his wife, acclaimed biographer Linda Simon creates an intimate portrait of this multifaceted and contradictory man. Exploring James`s irrepressible family, his diverse friends, and the cultural and political forces to which he so energetically responded, Simon weaves the many threads of William James`s life into a genuine, and vibrant, reality.
