Evangelism & Missions
“This book by my friend Craig is a breath of fresh air in the somewhat stale and formulaic genre of writing on evangelism. Craig is an inspiring leader and a good exemplar of these ideas, and his book deserves a wide audience.”
Christian Living
“Kingdom First is a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of what it means to truly seek first the kingdom of God in an unraveling world. With rich storytelling, practical wisdom, and spiritual insight, Bob bridges the gap between ancient truths and modern struggles. This book is not merely a reflection on faith—it is a call to action, urging believers to live authentically, build transformative communities, and embody the hope of Christ in everyday life.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“I am convinced that wholeness and maturity will continue to elude the church until we at last take seriously the need to fully legitimize and activate the God-given agency of women alongside that of men. In Leading Together, Nicole has made a brilliant case for real partnership and collegiality in the Body of Christ. Bring it on!”
Preaching & Worship
“If it is indeed true that a biblical understanding of worship involves offering our world back to God, then what we need are liturgies that take us out of the confined experience of Sunday gatherings to a worship that engages the whole of life. Winfield Bevins does precisely this, and in following his guidance, disciples get to live genuinely sacramental lives.”
Making Disciples Across Cultures
Evangelism & Missions
“In this book, longtime mission leader Charles Davis applies a distinctively missionary analysis to the worn-out ecclesiologies of our time. But it's not all critique and analysis: built on narrative and experience, he lovingly provides the church with a very useful diagnostic tool that gives us viable pathways toward renewal of church life and mission. I am grateful for this book.”
Missional Discipleship After Christendom
Discipleship & Christian Education
“I am convinced that the endemic non-discipleship in the Western church undermines everything else we seek to do. This excellent book by longterm practitioners and leaders does much to re-educate us in the lost art of disciple-making as it pertains to the mission of the church.”
Women
“Jo Saxton is a great example of a woman operating in the full power of her God-given identity and gifts. We need many more such people in the church. In writing this book, she not only pens a testimony and gives us good reasons to believe, she also inspires us to do likewise. In Jo's words, 'Women are not an afterthought in God's mind but a central part of his creative plan for the world!'”
World Religions
“This book is a prophetic call for a more discipleship-based, grassroots, and inspirational form of leadership in our time. And it further proves why Neil Cole is one of the most important voices in the Western church today.”
Theology
“Perhaps our own stories are the most authoritative thing we can say . . . precisely because they are our stories. Here, my friend, Wynand, courageously exposes us to his own struggle for spiritual and theological authenticity within the highly ambiguous context of racist South Africa. It's a moving story, but as an artist he also shows how his spiritual narrative can become a mirror to our own souls, and even that of our age. Bravo Wynand.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“With sensitivity to history and an ability to extract principles from the lives of the apostolic pioneers who have gone before us, Steve gives us an inspirational peek into movements and the people who lead them.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In a world where the economy pervades every cultural domain, money dominates our imagination, and consumption defines our identity, we need increasing clarity about all things economic. Gregory gifts us with a prophetic perspective that will helps us discern the spiritual dangers inherent in the system.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Greg Boyd has a marvelous knack for sensing what is essential for the times in which we live. If faith involves coming to attention, then Present Perfect sounds like a needed clarion call in our profoundly distracted culture. Drawing deeply from the great guides in Scripture and history, Greg helps us to see God everywhere and to engage him more fully anytime. Get into it.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Real Life turns disciplemaking on its head, fusing together elements that have normally been separate--evangelism, spiritual formation, community and mission--into one great model that could easily be applied and multiplied. To make disciples today, this book is a valuable resource to get us started.”
Evangelism & Missions
“This book is a well-written exploration of contemporary mission in culturally diverse, post-Christian contexts. It is not just a good example of robust but accessible theological reflection, it is also grounded in the living experience of the authors. Good stuff!”
Theology
“G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson reclaim the Sabbath as a creative force in God's redemptive story, revealing its transformative impact on our identity, our rhythms, and our calling. Theologically profound yet practically grounded, this work casts a compelling vision for individuals and communities striving to live with faithfulness and sustainability amid the hyperactive pace of contemporary life.”
Christian Living
“This book is Hugh Halter the man: irreligious, forthright, honest, fun, insightful, creative, adventurous, and compassionate. And so it is an insightful, practical, missional guide to the sacrilegious life of those who want to follow Jesus in the way he wants to be followed—sacrilegiously.”
Salt, Light, and a City, Second Edition
Theology
“Graham Hill ranges far and wide in order to construct a viable ecumenical, but distinctly missional, ecclesiology. In so doing, he provides us with a classy, intelligent, and passionate contribution to one of the defining issues of our time.”
