Healing Our Broken Village raises a bitter truth that often the enemy we fight against, is within. Dr. Haynes encourages readers to address the issue of healing by confronting the internal struggles that incarcerate us emotionally, socially and ultimately keep us from developing into who God has divinely designed us to be. More than just an opinion, Healing Our Broken Village shares spiritual insight on the circumstances of life that break us and provides solutions as to how we overcome by tapping into what God has built within to sustain us.

Embodying these practices enables us to be the new humanity in Jesus Christ.

How does the process of seminary transform? Why do you believe what you believe? What are some effective methods for preaching? How can one be empowered to minister to the masses? I Trusted the Process is a reflection upon how one’s sojourn through seminary answers these questions. Join the author on a journey back in time where his experience or process in seminary transformed him and profoundly shifted the way that he thinks and ministers. While some cast doubt on the worth of seminary, even going to great lengths of labeling it a cemetery, the author’s works collected in this volume from his time in seminary show how seminary can challenge someone; how it challenges someone to the extent that if that someone trusts the process, that someone will come out better on the other side. I Trusted the Process provides models and example work from seminary that readers can use to do their own work of determining what they believe and why. Works within this volume also provide examples of biblical exegesis, preaching methodologies at work, reflections on written works and of holistic ministry, and a pattern for articulating one’s own Christology, among other things. Navigating through this book for those unable to attend seminary can serve as its own type of process. It also provides insight into the mind of one who seeks to help change the world. If one is to believe the glowing words from the foreword and the cover, such a mind is worth exploration. He can say: I Trusted the Process. Can you?

Social postmodernism and systematic theology can be considered the new pair in some of the most creative discussions on the future of theological method on a global scale. Both in the academy and in the public square, as well as in the manifold local and pastoral moments of ministry and community social activism, the social, the postmodern, and the theological intermingle in engaging and border-crossing ways. The Community of the Weak presents a new kind of jazzy fundamental theology with a postmodern touch, using jazz as a metaphor, writing ethnographically messy texts out of the personal windows of lived experiences, combining fragments of autobiography with theological reconstruction. A comparative perspective on North American and European developments in contemporary systematic theology serves as a hermeneutical horizon to juxtapose two continents in their very different contexts. The author proposes a systematic and fundamental theology that is more jazzy, global, and narrative, deeply embedded in pastoral ministry to tell its postmodern story.
