- "Inviting Abundance to Shape Our Congregation's Practices" by Lee Van Ham
- "The Biblical Call to the Paradigm of Abundance" by Heather Hollingsworth
Heather worked as a post-college intern in the JEM office from August 2006 to May 2007 and created this highly original booklet as a way to integrate what she learned during that time with the rest of her life experience. Using quotes, collage, and original material, Heather presents the core of JEM's ministry "as well as my own dwellings on the Bible's call for justice, a discovery of this paradigm of abundance, and the teachings of the Biblical Sabbath-Jubilee."
