humility in the Writings of Charles Wesley and the Early Church Fathers/Mothers ISBN: 979-8-3852-2720-4 2024
"S T Kimbrough has given us a valuable ecumenical methodology by tracing the single theme of humility in the writings of two traditions vastly removed in historical, cultural., and theological contexts. This little book holds some surprising insights and commonalities to be found in reading Charles Wesley alongside spiritual writers of the ancient Church such as Macarius of Egypt, John Climacus, Basil the Great, Mother Syncletica, and many others." John A. Jillions

Although the biblical story’s content read and heard at Advent and Christmas remains the same, how it is understood from year to year depends on many things: attitudes, cultural context, geography, religion, language, music, etc. However understood the story is about love in both sacred and secular contexts.
“Christmas is the supremely poetic season to celebrate God’s love for us. There’s no one better than S T Kimbrough to help us to keep Christmas in the way it ought to be. These poems illuminate and celebrate the joy of God with us.” Bishop Will Willimon
Magical Nature: Poems About Creatures, Flowers, and Seasons. Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock/Resource Publications, 2025. ISBN 979-8-3852-5112-4
The poems of this book suggest that the natural possesses a magical quality, to which humans respond with awe and wonder.
“This little volume by prolific poet S T Kimbrough celebrates his capacities of observation of wonder and delight in the habits and shifts of the natural world. From his backyard to the Masaai Mara, from giant sequoias to the smallest daisy, from breath-taking cold to summer rain through the trees, the collection captures the magic and wonder that enthrall the heart.” Barbara Day Miller
"In this latest collection entitled Poems on Civility: It Starts with You and Depends on You, S T has once again given us profound insights and guidance of how we morally navigate the contemporary darkness. These seemingly small sparks of light act as beacons for traversing the murky path we are on today. He attempts to articulate the contemporary ways we live and participate in cultural, social, and civic communities in the US, and also in the world."
