Now available for preorder: "Our Church Speaks: An Illustrated Devotional of Saints from Every Era and Place," published by InterVarsity Press
Do you ever feel like you're alone in your struggles to live out the Christian faith? Do you ever read the Bible yet still wonder what it looks like to follow Jesus in the complexity and difficulty of our time?
The stories of great men and women throughout the history of the church can help us form a bridge between the teaching of Scripture and our embodied lives. This illustrated devotional vividly depicts the lives and words of great women and men of faith. Artist Ben Lansing and Anglican priest D. J. Marotta offer fifty-two profound images and reflections on Christians, from Polycarp in the first century to the martyrs of Sudan in the twenty-first century. These saints, from every continent and century of church history, demonstrate the historic church's relevance for Christians today and reveal God's faithfulness in all times and circumstances.
The artwork, biographies, devotionals, and prayers in this book are meant to spark our imaginations, helping us to be faithful here and now, in our own age.

"Many modern Christians are disconnected and deconstructed. I created Our Church Speaks to reorient contemporary Christians to the lives and words of the great cloud of witnesses from our church's inspiring story." - Ben Lansing, creator of Our Church Speaks
