(University Press of America) by Juan Guerrero, Ph.D., assistant professor
and chair of the Department of Modern Languages
"I've been concerned with the idea held by some in American society
that Hispanics do not consider education important. I wanted to examine
whether this idea was true or false by studying attitudes toward higher
education among a subpopulation of Hispanics. The American evangelical
community needs to become more informed about Hispanic issues, cultural
traditions, and values. After all, Hispanics are the fastest growing ethnic
group in the U.S."

(Multnomah) by James Langteaux, adjunct professor, Department of Communication
Studies
"In this follow up to my book God.com, I discuss those instances
when God just does not seem to speak and our bucket of faith has begun
to leak. In these desert times, we learn to believe past what we can see.
It is in these dry places that we are refined and we come into even more
trust and intimacy."

(Azusa Pacific University) by Sheldon Jackson, Ph.D., professor emeritus,
Department of History and Political Science
"The Silent Partner describes how the owners and managers
of a great commercial enterprise, the Marshburn Farms, dared to operate
their business on the basis of Christian principles. It presents a slice
of the life, beliefs, and spiritual experiences of a family that has supported
Azusa Pacific University with total stewardship, sharing their time, talent,
and treasure."

(Edwin Mellen) by John Sungmin Park, Ph.D., director, Los Angeles Regional
Center
"My major area of study is 19th century German theology and ethics.
Although Schleiermacher is the father of modern Christian theology and
ethics, his ethics have not been studied since the 19th century. Inspection
of his ideology is important for all thinkers, conservative or liberal.
This book deals with the importance of Christian theology right after
the Enlightenment. I mainly focus on the Christian understanding of Jesus
Christ, including how people understood Jesus Christ and His role in Christian
ethical actions. It is a great theological and ethics resource for local
pastors who value the academic nature of their ministry."

(Bethany House) by Joseph Bentz, Ph.D., professor, Department of English
"Cradle of Dreams is a work of fiction, but the idea sprang
from the several tumultuous years that my wife and I spent establishing
our family. We struggled with infertility, a failed adoption, and a number
of other suprises on our way to having our two children. This book deals
with the frustration and disappointment of not being able to realize one's
deepest desires, but it also reveals the surprising ways in which God
sometimes chooses to redeem a situation."

(Edwin Mellen) by Heather Ann Ackley Bean, Ph.D., assistant professor,
Department of Religion and Philosophy
"This is a response to my frustration with the exclusiveness of traditional
systematic theology and the academic culture from which it is derived.
In the book, I offer an alternative, drawing on my own socioeconomic background
and cultural heritage. I explore other resources well known to scholars
of religious studies as cultural symbols for faith experience, including
music, art, worship forms, and domestic artifacts."
