 | Missional Church by Darrell L. Guder
What would a theology of the church look like that took seriously the fact that North America is now itself a mission field? This question lies at the foundation of this volume written by an ecumenical team of six noted missiologists - Lois Barrett, Inagrace T. Dietterich, Darrell L. Guder, George R. Hunsberger, Alan J. Roxburgh, and Craig Van Gelder. The result of a three-year research project undertaken by The Gospel and Our Culture Network, this book issues a firm challenge for the church to recover its missional call right here in North America. The authors examine today`s secular culture and the church`s loss of dominance in contemporary society. They then present a biblically based theology that takes seriously the church`s missional vocation and draw out the consequences of this theology for the structure and institutions of the church.

 | Saffron Days in L. A. by Dalai Lama XIV
In this delightful memoir, Bhante Walpola Piyananda, a Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka, shares his often amusing, often poignant experiences of life in America. Whether he's reasoning with a group of confrontational punks on Venice Beach, bridging the gap between a rebellious teenager and her traditional parents, explaining to an errant Buddhist that the concept of non-attachment does not justify irresponsibility, or dealing with a nude sunbather at a meditation retreat, no situation--no matter how sticky--manages to affect Bhante's unflappable calm or his phenomenal ability to find the right parable for the moment.
