Drinking from the Wells of New Creation

I am excited to announce the publication of my wife, Kerry Dearborn’s new book, Drinking from the Wells of New Creation: The Holy Spirit and the Imagination in Reconciliation. It’s available now on Amazon:

Here are what some people are saying about it:

”Dearborn provides us with the gift of deep insight into the heart of God and the ways of the Spirit to open our eyes, our hearts, our homes, and our lives to God and others. Through profound theological reflection interwoven with compelling stories, this book draws us into God’s healing love and new creation. I pray God uses this great book to release the vision of Amos to which I’ve dedicated my life.”
–John Perkins, author of Let Justice Roll Down

”For many years, Kerry Dearborn has been at the forefront of thinking theologically about the imagination and thinking imaginatively about theology. Here she invites us to move into territory sorely in need of just this kind of thinking. Gracious, lucid, and hospitable, Drinking from the Wells of New Creation opens up fresh vistas for envisaging reconciliation in our time.”

–Jeremy Begbie, Duke University, Durham, NC

”The nexus of the argument here is the way in which ‘imagination’ is a defining practice of the Spirit, the capacity to receive, visualize, invest in, and enact a world other than the one we take for granted. Dearborn gives substance and passion to our ancient prayer, ‘Come, Holy Spirit.”’
