30 Old Testament Passages with Deeper Meaning
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I love finding new treasures in Scripture, further enhancing seemingly familiar and ordinary verses. By uncovering some of the word plays and allusions original readers would notice, Michael Williams shares some of these gems with us, reinvigorating our time in Scripture with the sparkle of God’s glory.”
A Woman's Place Is in the Story
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Sandra Glahn reignites our curiosity about how God is inviting us to pay attention through the women in Scripture. She guides the reader to see a more robust picture, revealing treasures that are so often left out of preaching and teaching. Perhaps sometimes, like with God himself, the hiddenness is the beckoning to look and listen.”
Evangelical Theology, Second Edition
Theology
“You need this ecumenical systematic theology on your bookshelf—one that begins at, centers on, and ends with the gospel. This is the lens that both laypeople and academics need to bring into focus what God is revealing to us in his Word. Not only does Mike Bird give that, but he makes it both fun and challenging to read as he humbly interacts with theologians past and present on the content of our faith. He is the fun uncle that has crashed the stodgy family party, showing what is real and exciting about our heritage in Christ.”

“Pierce has a contagious, child-like sense of wonder in the everyday moments and opportunities so many of us miss, leading to theological and worshipful reflection of God and all his glory. Read this book devotionally to regain your sense of awe and connect it to your sense of God’s presence in the world he created.”
Theology
“his knowledge to us. He is a teacher in the true sense of the word. And an excellent writer. How Jesus Saves is a question that is not left merely for the classroom, nor can it be reduced to oversimplified evangelical slogans. Everyone must wrestle with this question and its implications. McNall doesn’t shy away from the objections and tough questions surrounding what happened on a Roman cross more than two thousand years ago when Jesus died and rose again. What is it that we need and how does God give that to us? This will be a go-to book to communicate to ordinary people the multifaceted ways that Jesus brings salvation to all who believe.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I’m going to be a spoiler and give away the ending here: “If we must be disruptive, let’s do it for Christ’s sake.” Disillusionment and deconstruction are disruptive. Are we willing to face what those who are leaving the church are seeing and saying, and then ask with Scot McKnight and Tommy Phillips, “What place will Jesus have in the church”? We need disruption. It is a tool the Spirit of God uses to help us face reality and lead us to beautiful repentance—to laying down our own illusions and waiting for resurrection in wonder. Let’s embrace the disruption of the “invisible Jesus” as an invitation to collaborate with Christ in opening the door to the kingdom of heaven.”
Theology
“Maybe you think you can answer the title of this book with a simple yes and move on. But how do you know that Jesus is truly God? Can you articulate that well to others? Why does it matter? What changes about your faith if Jesus isn’t truly God? Is Jesus fully God and fully man—even now? In this succinct book, Greg Lanier works through both the Old and New Testaments to present a robust Trinitarian Christology that will equip believers and lead us to further delight in our Lord.”
Christian Living
“Trueman gives us not only Luther’s theology, but Luther as a theologian, which in turn connects with us as theologians. We learn from Trueman’s insight into Luther that theology isn’t just what we know about God, or even how we know it, but is intimately connected to who we are. Trueman gives us Luther—constipation, wit, contradictions, and all. We also finally get a theological apologetic for a robust sense of humor.”
Christian Living
“What happens when women learn about the attributes of God? They rightfully praise him for who he is! Jen Wilkin has written a helpful book introducing the attributes that belong to God alone, while revealing our own tendencies to try to produce counterfeits in others or ourselves. A better understanding of who God is builds our faith and helps to guard against damaging theology. Jen presses the reader to see how God’s incommunicable attributes affect our own spirituality.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I love how Tim Fall weaves together life as a judge, husband, father, and community-man of faith with a stressful event that triggered his anxiety disorder. Many of us can identify with trying to balance our lives and passions when uninvited chaos threatens them. Tim gets personal and practical about his suffering, while keeping his sense of humor. In this delightful memoir, Tim addresses anxiety head on, along with the stigmas attached to it, and shares valuable lessons learned along the way.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Is your church failing the women in it? Is it a safe place to belong? Is everyone able to show up and participate as their full selves? What if your women are compromising their own voices and contributions, making themselves smaller to serve faulty theology and the insecurities of the male leaders? What if you don’t see it? Are you unintentionally harming people in your church? Are you willing to learn how this might be so? Dr. Andrew Bauman resources the voices of women—like the ones you minister to—helping others collaborate in experiencing the fullness of Christ for his people. May more men and women in the church model his humility and bravery!”
Seven Things I Wish Christians Knew about the Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“One thing that I’ve noticed growing up in the church is that we are often taught certain properties of the Bible, but not taught how to actually read it. Mike Bird is a gift to the church in that he is an experienced biblical scholar who can distill complex matters into something understandable, even enjoyable. If you want to grow in your competence of reading Scripture and have a crackalackin good time doing it, read this book!”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Finally, a book I can recommend to parents who want better resources to talk about sexuality with their daughters! Sheila, Rebecca, and Joanna are an all-star team, confronting the harm done to our daughters in both the church and the world. The title says it all. Our daughters deserve better! Full stop. This book is full of thorough research, refreshingly commonsense biblical wisdom, and practical help on how to talk with our daughters and prepare them for confidence and maturity.”
Christian Living
“Simply Trinity successfully aims to put the church back on the path of confessional fidelity. Matthew Barrett helps us understand that how we read the Bible and whom we read it with is imperative to beholding the triune Author who reveals himself to us in his Word. You will see how our understanding of God affects our understanding of salvation and what we forfeit if we get it wrong.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I learned so much from reading Strangers and Scapegoats. The way we view the outsider tells a narrative about how we see ourselves, what we believe, and what we value. We love to talk about diversity and the image of God, but Vos challenges us to consider what that actually looks like, what it costs, and the great reward of extending God’s welcome to others. The ultimate freedom is not the ability to serve ourselves but the freedom we give to one another in belonging to Christ.”
Christian Living
“This is the book I will be handing out to those searching for true spirituality, to those who want to hear a special word from God, and to those who want an improved knowledge of God. Kevin DeYoung convincingly teaches that God has adequately spoken to his people. Taking God At His Word is an accessible defense of the doctrine of Scripture, from Scripture, aiming to renew our trust and delight in God’s Word.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Oh, what we can learn when we tell her story! Wherever you stand on women in the church, Tell Her Story will enrich you. This book shows that we still have a lot of work to do in making women visible. What do the stories of women in Scripture teach us about our God, discipleship, and ministry? How we listen to these stories can reveal what we value. Nijay Gupta gives witness to God's work in the unfolding of the prominence of women in the Scriptures, which also makes visible the overarching story and our location in it as the bride of Christ.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The Anti-Greed Gospel is both seriously convicting and saturated with hope—real hope that is both disruptive and full of wonder. I learned. I lamented. I leapt. Malcolm Foley points us to the alternative society that the church has always been, calling us to economic solidarity, creative anti-violence, and prophetic truth telling. In this, we are a people that isn’t striving to redeem the world but rather revealing that the world has already been changed by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. May churches read this book together and practice living in the reality of the kingdom and the love for our Lord and for our neighbor.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“While much ink keeps spilling over the proscriptive texts about men and women in Scripture (particularly about women), much is done at the neglect of imagining the context of real-life, on-the-ground conduct and responsibilities in their homes, synagogues, and society. These short essays are packed with quality scholarship and insight into a more multidimensional approach to ‘the biblical world of gender.’ This approach will certainly help shape our future discussions on the proscriptive texts.”
