The Accidental Anglican
Todd D. Hunter foreword by J. I. Packer
About the Book
Many are longing for historical connectedness and for theology that is “not tied to the whims of contemporary culture, but to apostolic-era understandings of Christian faith and practice.” They also yearn for rhythms and routines that build spiritual health. Still others are responding to a call to participate in worship rather than merely sitting back and looking at a stage. Liturgy offers all of this and more.
In this book Todd Hunter chronicles his journey from the Jesus People movement and national leadership in the Vineyard to eventually becoming an Anglican Bishop. Along the way he explains why an evangelical Christian might be drawn to the liturgical way. Curious about the meaning of liturgy? Come and discover what may be waiting for you there.

Outsider Interviews, The: A New Generation Speaks Out on Christianity
Jim Henderson, Todd Hunter & Craig Spinks
About the Book
Statistics tell us that Christianity has an image problem. But what are the stories behind the stats? This question led Jim Henderson, Todd Hunter, and Craig Spinks to host a national interview tour with young non-Christians and Christians in Kansas City, Phoenix, Denver, and Seattle. They wanted to hear why Christians get such a bad rap and what we can do to improve. The Outsider Interviews is a DVB, a book you can watch.
This DVD/book combination features films of the interviews, humorous and moving outtakes, and engaging chapters on a broad range of relevant topics including postmodernism, the Bible, homosexuality, judgmentalism, abortion, and evangelism.
Inspired by David Kinnaman’s bestselling book unChristian, The Outsider Interviews provides close encounters with what a new generation really thinks of Christianity and helps readers learn to live faithfully in a fast-changing world.
Christianity Beyond Belief
Todd D. Hunter foreword by Eugene H. Peterson
About the Book
What If You Knew You Were Going to Live Tomorrow?
You’ve prayed the sinner’s prayer. You know that if you die tonight, you’ll go to heaven. But Todd Hunter believes Christianity is a life, not merely a secure death. Which means that eternal life–abundant life–begins on earth, as soon as we become a follower of Jesus.
Drawing from his leadership and ministry experience as president of Alpha USA and from his own study and life experiences as an ordinary Christian, Hunter calls us to reframe our salvation and discipleship to focus on life, instead of just heaven and hell. God’s intention, he says, is for us to become God’s cooperative friends, seeking to live consistent lives of creative goodness for the sake of others. These pages lead us into this abundant way of living, offering
- the whole scope of God’s story and how you fit into that
- guidance on the Holy Spirit’s role and power in your life
- creative ways to love, serve and respond to seeking friends
- help for starting a “Three Is Enough” small group
Jesus came that we might have life–not just in heaven, but here on earth where he walked and lived among us. And your friends who are hurting, hopeless or hungry for something real need to see what difference life in Christ makes. This timely, biblical paradigm from Todd Hunter will inspire and equip you to live your days with intention, participating in God’s work in the world today. It just might change the way you look at life forever.
Giving Church Another Chance
Todd D. Hunter foreword by Scot McKnight
About the Book
Everybody wants to be spiritual. But nobody wants to be religious. Everybody is looking for a rich spiritual life. But nobody is looking to church.
As a pastor, Todd Hunter found himself disillusioned, burned out and needing to drop out of traditional forms of church. He experimented with house churches and other options but was still dissatisfied. Eventually he found himself sneaking off to worship services on Sunday mornings with surprising results.
What did the historic spiritual practices of church do for him? How did they lead to a life of centered peace, chart a path to simplicity and cause him to reach out to others while focusing on the glory of God?
Walk with Hunter on this journey to find spiritual riches in a surprising place. You might just give church another chance.
