Companions in the Darkness

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Through so many people's stories, I've come to understand that a great hardship of depression is the conviction that one suffers alone. This book contradicts that lie, not only with the author's own story but with the words of admired Christian leaders. If you live with depression, you can find hope, comfort, helpful ideas, and people like you in these pages.”

Fear and Faith

Christian Living

“We can all identify with the destructive and paralyzing results of living by fear. As Christians we long for lives defined instead by faith and God's power. Trillia reminds us why we can trust God and holds out a vision for life defined by this kind of trust—fearing God rather than our feelings, fears, and fellow travelers.”

Grace for the Afflicted

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“When responding to mental illness, our churches often start from a place of ignorance, faulty assumptions, or simple hopelessness. Matthew Stanford uses his knowledge and experience to battle all three. As a fellow believer that the Christian community has much to offer people affected by mental health challenges, I applaud and recommend this book, which offers much-needed education, sound biblical thought, and practical ways to help. It's a must-read for every pastor, ministry leader, and concerned Christian who wants to be informed, wise, sensible, and truly helpful.”

Grace for the Children

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This book offers help that is not only expert but also wise, realistic, practical, and specific. In its pages, Dr. Stanford will meet you where you are and point you toward both guidance and grace. For families affected by mental illness, it's a much-needed lifeline. For church leaders serious about the divine opportunity before us, it's an invaluable resource.”

Grieving a Suicide

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In a world that often meets our most desperate moments with silence, this book is a vital voice of hope. Leaving space for grief, Hsu offers clear answers to questions people don't ask until they have to. In the process, he graciously points us toward life and light, which can be so hard to see in the darkness left by suicide.”

How Neighborhoods Make Us Sick

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Through compelling stories, this eye-opening book illuminates the inverse relationship between poverty and health of all kinds. It acknowledges both the complexities and hard realities in addressing needs that often feel overwhelming. And ultimately, it points to hopeful strategies that flow from taking ownership of both the problem and the solution.”

Impact Devotional Series

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“This collection of accessible devotions contains a lot of wisdom, with a rich nugget to think about each day. In just a few moments, you'll find these thoughts will build your confidence in God and point you toward the hope we can find only in him.”

The Recovery-Minded Church

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This is a resource every church needs because no church is exempt from responsibility toward people with addictions. This very practical book will help churches take their rightful places as centers for support, unconditional love and redemption. It's best to approach this resource with humble Christian theology firmly in place, ready to be equipped not just to respond but to engage with people who are just like the rest of us—unrighteous beneficiaries of God's lavish love and grace, ripe for transformation.”

Why Do I Feel Like This?

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“It comes naturally to avoid what we don't want to feel—especially if we believe we can't heal, that we can't survive the journey into our own pain. Yet I've learned that difficult emotions don't go away—they just go underground. And there they undermine our foundations until finally we must turn our attention their way. In this book you'll find tools for acknowledging complex emotions, bringing them into the light, and welcoming God's healing work. And you'll discover how to move toward a fuller, more hopeful, more compassionate life.”

Yawning at Tigers

Christian Living

“Yawning at Tigers reminds us that we are made for so much more than service as shabby idols for self-worship.”
