Sympathy, Solidarity, and Silence: Three European Baptist Responses to the Holocaust
Lee B. Spitzer
Historically, Baptists have valued religious freedom for all. However, the Nazi movement and the ensuing Holocaust directly opposed religious freedom, threatening the liberty of Jews and others in the broader European community. How did Baptists from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Baptist World Alliance react when facing this grave peril to life and liberty? Through compelling narratives and rich historical accounts, Spitzer details the choices made by Baptist religious leaders and people’s responses.

Church on the Move: A Practical Guide for Ministry in the Community
G. Travis Norvell
G. Travis Norvell challenges church leaders and members—persistently asking them and their respective churches what they do to make a real difference in others’ lives. The author proposes that the people of the “living church” start moving in, around, and with their communities to truly move toward renewal and social justice, drawing on his own experiences as a church pastor who walked, rode his bike, and took the bus as he went about his work. The book provides concrete, practical ways for the church body and individuals to implement this movement.
