Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This book by Stuart Devenish is a retrieval of many key concepts of the spiritual life that have been developed over two millennia of prayer and reflection. It is especially valuable for Protestants, who have historically lacked a robust language of the soul. The love, devotion, and scholarship poured into this book is truly remarkable. A rare gem!”

“I love this book because I love Brandon Hatmaker and everything he does. But second, I love this book because Brandon articulates a robust spirituality derived with a larger view of the Gospel and one equal to the significant challenge of mission in our day.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In this characteristically well-written book, my colleague and friend Mark Sayers delivers an incredibly insightful and prophetic word to a church leadership in that finds itself in deep existential crisis. A Non-Anxious Presence is quite possibly the best articulation on the sheer power of liminality to purge, refresh, and renew our way of thinking about leadership that we have at present. It might well be Mark's best book yet.”
An Emerging Dictionary for the Gospel and Culture
“Len Hjalmarson is one smart cookie: he somehow manages to gather, interpret, and file many of the key ideas that are impacting church and culture in our time. Here he articulates them, and we get the benefit of his encyclopedic mind. A blessing!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I can't emphasize enough how important this book is for advancing our understanding of the apostolic person and function in the church and in Christian organizations. Payne has now brought his substantial scholarship to bear on this timely topic. I for one am deeply grateful.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book contains a lot of heart, mixed with a good dose of authenticity, and spiced with a fair bit of courage. Brandon offers us an articulate vision of a church that lives true to her calling to be God's agents of change in a broken world. Bring it on!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Few people can talk about church planting the way Peyton does. He is the quintessentially reflective practitioner who has pretty much tried all the innovative ideas that he articulately proposes in this book. In my opinion, Church Plantology is destined to become essential reading for anyone interested in church planting in Western, post-Christian cultural contexts. This book is an expression of who Peyton Jones is—outstanding!”
Christian Living
“In Dearly Beloved, my friend Vermon bequeathed to us a very timely book that delves into how a church can embody its communal life and witness through a living experience of God's love. This book is rooted in many years of faithful witness in difficult contexts and offers a rich guide for pastors in a time of endemic lovelessness in culture and church.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Einstein noted once that any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex, but that it takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage to boot—to move in the opposite direction. Drawing deeply from the living witness of Christ the King Community Church, Dave Browning does exactly that and in the process gives us a text on a critical subject that is not only highly informative but also inspiring.”
Christian Living
“Dwell is an excellent book on a very important topic that we are only just beginning to grapple with—the meaning of incarnational ministry in the church that follows the incarnated One. Oh, and it is well-written to boot. Enjoy!”
Eldership and the Mission of God
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“J.R. and Bob give us something that few—if any—books on church eldership have offered before: an accessible mission-directed primer on faithful leadership in localized, contextualized Jesus communities. . . . My hope is that this book will compel us to forego the prevalent version of decaffeinated Christianity and instead cultivate a missionary ethos that ignites faith communities to participate in the unrestrained and uncorked adventure of life with Jesus.”
Preaching & Worship
“There is a hunger among this generation to recover the historic roots of the Christian faith for discipleship and mission. Winfield Bevins’ new book offers a clear and compelling account of why young adults across North America are embracing liturgy. If you want to learn more about this movement and why it matters, this book is for you.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is a book about getting everyone equipped to creatively fulfill their mission in the context of all of life, to which we heartily say, Amen!”
Theology
“In this well-written volume Gary weaves together the themes of discipleship, missional thinking, and the Holy Spirit, to come up with a book that will serve to strengthen the church and enhance our witness to Jesus and his kingdom.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Being a missionary is intrinsic to being a disciple. However, from even a cursory survey of the standard thinking and practices in the church, one can be excused for thinking that this is not the case. In this fine book, Don brings missionality back where it rightfully belongs—in the basic, work-a-day spirituality of any authentic follower of Jesus.”
Apologetics
“It has been said that if you love something long enough it reveals itself to you—that love is a hermeneutical key to unlocking the mysteries of life itself. This is especially true for the Bible and the God of the Bible, for God is love and can only be truly known in love. David Lamb has loved his way into understanding Yahweh more fully; subsequently he can lovingly help us to 'see' and experience God in new and revealing ways.”
Christian Living
“Russell's work is a fresh and vulnerable look at the good news of Jesus' grace. By mingling personal stories with scriptural reflections, he puts forth an embodied apologetic that aims to disarm us all of our false selves, look a little deeper into the depths of our souls, and find the Savior who was there the whole time ready to set us free by his love.”
