Circle of Hope: A Reckoning With Love, Power and Justice in an American Church is a 2024 book by journalist Eliza Griswold, published by Macmillan.

The Anabaptist branch is known for its apolitical stance, strong pacifist views and eschewing material wealth in favor of modest living.

Rod and Gwen eventually transferred leadership of the congregation to their son Ben, and three other pastors; Julie, Rachel and Jonny.

French also stated Griswold devoted full chapters to each of the pastors and also large parts of the book to congregants, treating each with "humanity and empathy" rather than sensationalizing the rifts.

Lucky also stated that Griswold was inclusive of the pastors and church members and their views; allowing them to share their stories.
