Buried Talents

Women

“When girls or boys are socialized in gendered roles that limit what they can or cannot do, the loss can be immense to families, to communities, and to the church. Dr. Susan Harris Howell has given us a great gift: it is the wisdom of a psychologist in understanding the impact of myriad influences on our socialization throughout our lifetime. This is a book the church has long needed in light of a gender bias that limits the ways in which women or men are allowed to serve Jesus Christ.”

Half the Church

Women

“With the care of an experienced scout, Carolyn James has lined the fire pit with stones, then assembled the kindling and logs, and in the final chapters of this remarkable book has struck the match to ignite a blaze for God and his kingdom. No thoughtful Christian woman can walk away from this book unchallenged or unmoved, as she senses the glory of her ezer-warrior calling. Nor can any thoughtful Christian man remain unmoved by the vision of the Blessed Alliance so skillfully sketched in these pages. The challenge of Half the Church is to the whole church to fulfill God's purpose in creating all of us as iconoclastic bearers of the divine image in a broken world.”

Marriage at the Crossroads

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“At last we've been given a sane, nuanced, thoughtful conversation around differing viewpoints on gender issues in marriage. This book will help all Christians come to a deeper appreciation of the miracle of marriage as God intended it. The glory of marriage--in spite of the pitfalls--shines through virtually every page.”

Playing by the Rules

Evangelism & Missions

“As a woman who served as a missionary overseas for seventeen years, I know well the burden of fulfilling a call to missions in Jesus’s name. With that burden also go the restrictions under which many women missionaries must work simply because they are women. Dr. Dzubinski has made an important contribution to understanding the ‘dance’ many Christian women engage as they attempt to do God’s work in mission contexts that limit their ministry because of their sex.”

Ten Great Ideas from First Corinthians

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Can a letter written two thousand years old revitalize the church in 2021? Yes, when that letter is 1 Corinthians and the scholars digging into it are George Renner and Mark Shaw. This is a change-agent book that should be on every pastor’s reading list.”
