The Understory

Christian Living

“The Understory is part Wendell Berry, part Eugene Peterson, and part Madeleine L’Engle. The result is sheer magic. Wilbert writes with a kind of desperate longing—hungry, thirsty, and violently pursuing the truth of God in our stories—and the result is glorious. Read this book and be ever changed.”

Thinning the Veil

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It truly is difficult to overstate how poetic, prophetic, and breathtaking this accessible journey through John's Apocalypse is. Not only did it help me read the revelation of Jesus Christ better historically, theologically, and exegetically, but I walked away with a deeper love for God. Shane Wood has written a masterful book that deserves a wide reading.”

Foreword

(wrote a foreword)

What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church?

“This book was a breath of theological and practical fresh air! Too often, books about the church tell the same old, stale tale of instructions—go to church; tithe; listen to the sermon; be submitted; don't ask questions. But these dusty formulas often ignore the ancient, powerful, and risky path that God's people were called to undertake—to turn the world upside down by following the wild Jesus into a subversive way of living. Skye Jethani has written one of the most important books about the church I've ever read that every Christian would be wise to read.”

Worship in an Age of Anxiety

Preaching & Worship

“J. Michael Jordan is a beautiful soul, and this book is a beautiful book. Worship in an Age of Anxiety—about the intersection of worship, church, and our internal lives—is a jarring invitation to God's people to find their trust in the love of the Trinity. This is an excellent book, and one you need to pick up.”

Your Longing Has a Name

Christian Living

“Few would dare say that the world is going the way it is supposed to go. Indeed, things are broken. But the Christian narrative poignantly described in Your Longing Has a Name refuses to accept the status quo. We worship the God who longs for us—and whom we were made to long for.”
