In 1988 Virginia Fabella from the Philippines and Mercy Amba Oduyoye from Ghana coedited With Passion and Compassion: Third world Women Doing Theology, based on the work of the Women's Commission of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians (EATWOT). The book has been widely used as an important resource for understanding women's liberation theologies, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America emerging out of women's struggles for justice in church and society. More than twenty years have passed and it is time to bring out a new collection of essays to signal newer developments and to include emerging voices. Divided into four partsContext and Theology; Scripture; Christology; and Body, Sexuality, and Spiritualitythese carefully selected essays paint a vivid picture of theological developments among indigenous women and other women living in the global South who face poverty, violence, and war and yet find abundant hope through their faith.

The writer considers abundance as a concept that injects satisfaction and hope in the minds of all mankind. He is just excited with the expression ‘abundance.' He has immersed himself in the research of this concept. He therefore feels obliged to explain to his readers that the abundance mindset is the source of the abundance in our society. He feels that his duty to mankind calls on him to encourage his readers to acquire the abundance mindset as they seek abundance in wealth, position and influence. The abundance mindset is positive, optimistic, expansive, growth oriented and proactive. It is characterized the humanizing qualities of solidarity, sharing, cooperation, mutuality and human interdependence. Without these values in human hearts, the wealth that society produces no matter how plentiful, is hoarded, used greedily, egoistically and jealously by 'the powerful' in our society, bringing society back to poverty, want and scarcity. Acquiring the abundance mindset makes mankind want to share, care, excise solidarity and cooperation and in this way, abundance is multiplied in our society. The author has expanded on these themes deeply in this text making it useful to all categories of adult readers.

Heather' story encompasses surviving and overcoming domestic violence and other life hardships. This journey entails healing from these situations and learning to live abundantly.

Many preachers and teachers of preaching talk about the gospel; few name it. Theologies of the Gospel in Context assembles a gifted group of homileticians who think that preachers need to be able to articulate the gospel not "in general," but in a certain time and place, in context. They consider what gospel sounds like for people under oppression, in capitalist economies, in neocolonial contexts, for survivors of trauma, and for disestablished mainline churches marred by racism. Preachers will appreciate these preacher/scholars' desire to articulate the gospel with clarity, especially since the term is so often left unexplained. Homileticians will see a new genre of doing their work as teachers and researchers in preaching: a vision that helps preaching see itself not just as an adjunct to exegesis or communication, but a place of doing theology. In these pages homiletics is more than technique, it is a truly theological discipline.

More than sixty-five years after the end of the American Civil War, African-Americans still dealt with the debilitating poverty of sharecropping and the Depression, and the violence of the Ku Klux Klan during the 1930s. Two African-American brothers, James and Robert Paschal, persevered despite these limitations and realized their dreams through years of hard work and determination. Serving Up Hope and Freedom is the moving true story of the Paschal brothers from Georgia. Fighting against the odds of a sharecropping life, James and Robert went on to become millionaires, philanthropists, world-renowned restaurant/hotel owners, and leaders in the struggle for civil rights. As told by James Paschal, this memoir showcases the brothers' extraordinary devotion to making a difference in the world, inspiring others to tap into the unlimited power of their dreams.
