Signs of Hope in the City: Renewing Urban Mission, Embracing Radical Hope. By 2025, there will be 3 billion people living in urban slums. This raises huge questions for the church. Where are the "signs of hope" in our cities? How can the church become "hope enfleshed"? What does it mean to serve the God of hope and transformation? How do we recruit, equip, and sustain people for hope-filled urban mission today? With a Foreword by Michael Frost, Signs of Hope in the City offers the best of the 2014 International Society of Urban Mission (ISUM) Summit. This book explores such themes as urban poverty, interfaith dynamics, Christian spirituality, trafficking, creation care, asylum seekers and refugees, and the local church''s role in urban transformation. The authors are grassroots practitioners and world-class thinkers who will help you renew your passion for urban mission. They will inspire you to see and release Spirit-empowered, Christ-honouring signs of hope in your city and beyond.

In Mexico, a Christian brotherhood invites members to have a religion-free personal relationship with God and practice a particular form of born-again self-transformation. In Switzerland, a Masonic lodge pursues a peculiar blend of enlightenment philosophy and esoteric truth seeking. Both organizations cultivate ethical brotherhoods and ritualized relationships to the sacred. Both organizations also disavow "religion," sidestepping the divisions in time, space, and personhood that liberal modes of governance typically draw between public and private, as well as civic and conscientious.In Not Religion, Graham Hill asks why members of these organizations pursue relationships with God, the sacred, and the spiritual while also rejecting the religious character of their engagements. He investigates, and sometimes participates in, the organizational activities of both groups with a view to understanding their respective attempts to bridge civic-conscience divides and pursue everyday life-enchanting practices of self-transformation. Hill finds, in both organizations, reflexive, experimental orientations to language—of very different sorts— animating both types of practice.Not Religion probes the curious features that the two organizations share despite all the ways in which they differ, examining why these vaguely theistic, mundane-sacralizing, everyday life-enchanting organizations distance themselves, their practices, and their beliefs from the category of "religion."In the series Religious Engagement in Democratic Politics

Walking the Radical Path of Jesus in Today's Fractured WorldIn our current cultural moment, we are fractured by political polarization, performative religiosity, consumerism, nationalism, and deepening inequality. Christians need to resist these forces with the alternative spiritual and theological vision of the Jesus Way. Ten Movements of the Jesus Way is a call to reimagine discipleship not as belief alone but as a life radically shaped by the sacrificial way of Jesus. Rooted in Scripture and global Christian traditions, theologian Graham Hill offers a prophetic invitation back to the radical, countercultural path of Jesus a path marked by humility, servanthood, justice, and love. Hill guides readers through ten transformative movements such as:- Moving from material success to spiritual riches, confronting the idolatry of wealth and status. - Shifting from power to servanthood, exposing the ways Christians have clung to cultural dominance instead of Christlike humility. - Moving from exclusion to embrace, challenging systemic racism, xenophobia, and the politics of division with the inclusive love of Jesus. The Jesus Way is a path of deep love for God and neighbor, where discipleship isn't defined by status or success but by sacrificial love, radical generosity, and faithful commitment to justice and reconciliation. This book invites readers to walk that path, living as a people who reflect Jesus in a world desperate for his hope and renewal. Ten Movements of the Jesus Way features:- Embodied practices for living like Jesus in radical love and compassionate discipleship- Practical ways to join God's mission to heal, reconcile, and renew the world- A global perspective drawn from Scripture and diverse Christian traditions from African, Asian, Indigenous, and Latin American expressions of faith- Questions for reflection and discussion great for book clubs or small groupsWith Ten Movements of the Jesus Way, discover how you can anchor your discipleship in the life and teachings of Christ, reclaim a gospel that's been politicized and commodified, and help restore the Western church.

This book was written in the beginning of 1960 to make sure that no facts were forgotten or exaggerated by the time factor. Only the rough edges of the writing have been polished a little, the basic facts and incidents are exactly as they happened. It is guaranteed to all be true. Read, and try to stop laughing! At the tender age of 18 in mid December 1957 Graham left the cosy world of apprentice compositor in the printing trade and compulsorily joined the many thousands also serving 2 year’s National Service. He used those 2 years to learn a lot, some things about the army, but mainly about life from the many and varied people he met along the way. Leading a charmed life, he managed to enjoy himself in the army, at the army’s expense, and keep out of trouble. His demob papers, written 6 weeks before he was demobbed, state “He is a disciplined soldier who works hard…..” If only they knew! On demob in December 1959 he went on to finish his apprenticeship and then went round the printing trade in London for experience. He soon realised he wanted to work for himself in a small team and that is why he became a newsagent and retired at 52 years of age. In retirement he took a course in blacksmithing as a hobby and also joined a writers’ group. His hobbies also include motor-homing and cycling with his Brompton. He now at 83 takes life (just) a little easier and is proud of Carole his wife of 58 years and 2 grown up children and 3 grandchildren. However, he still does not understand the rules of life.
