“Amy Julia Becker has the courage and grace to tell the truth. Whether you are a parent or not, whether the children in your life are “typical” or not, her story will shake you, change you, and encourage you. In a world obsessed with achievement and perfection, A Good and Perfect Gift opens the door to a much more excellent way.”
Christian Living
“Too often we settle for a 'calling' that is really just sanctified individualism, paddling in the shallows of the self. This book pursues the deeper questions of flourishing, sacrifice, community and transformation that are the heart of the Christian life.”
Christ, Baptism and the Lord's Supper
Preaching & Worship
“In Christ, Baptism and the Lord's Supper Leonard Vander Zee offers a gift to the whole church. His marvelous clarity, theological acuity and personal warmth make this book a joy to read. Most of all, he helps us reclaim the worship practices of an embodied faith, the bath and the feast that demonstrate Christ's real presence in a world grown weary of mere words.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is a masterful exposé of our media-saturated world and its hidden influence. But it also contains the seeds of a creative response that could change everything. Shane Hipps points us toward a hidden path out of the media maze that we can’t afford to miss.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Very few books are better after ten years than when they were first published. This is one of them. Its vision has become more relevant, compelling and, most of all, achievable than we ever could have hoped.”
Good News for Anxious Christians, expanded ed.
Christian Living
“Yes! No! Whoa! There are so many terrific, alarming, insightful zingers in this book that I agreed, disagreed, and, most of all, had to think about something on every page. Graceful and liberating, it is a word of wisdom and hope that just might convince anxious Christians that the gospel really is better news than we've yet imagined.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“If you are a parent, or about to be one, or a friend of one, or a parent of one, this is gold. Sheer, honest, hilarious, helpful family-shaping gold. There is nothing easy about this most vulnerable of human vocations, and the habits in this book will not make it easy. But they will make it so much better.”
Christian Living
“James Davison Hunter, To Change the World These days I do not often meet Christians so passionate about evangelism that they question the need for doing justice. I am much more likely to meet Christians so passionate about justice that they question the need for evangelism. . . . In short, working for justice is cool. Proclaiming the gospel is not.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“By the light of an ancient nighttime prayer, this book tenderly and thoroughly explores the beautiful and precarious reality of our shared human life. And it illuminates for us the ultimate Christian question: what it means to love and be loved by a God who made us as vulnerable as we are, and also made himself as vulnerable as we are.”
Apologetics
“Michael Rota's book is an ingenious, readable expansion of Pascal's hint in Pensées that commitment to God is worth making even if we can't be sure God exists. This is the rare book that both makes a profoundly serious argument and does so in a wonderfully joyful way. Those who haven't yet taken the wager of Christian commitment will be challenged by this book. But so will others who haven't yet taken the wager of philosophy itself—to see how fun and even life-changing philosophical reasoning can be.”
Science & Faith
“With terrific production values, impeccably qualified experts, and a clear-eyed focus on the most important questions, this is an invaluable resource for thinking about science and faith.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is a singularly important book, about sexuality but also about culture, and it is a model of charity, clarity and creativity. While this is certainly not the last word on Christian sexual ethics, it could be the first word of a better and more honest conversation about holiness and faithfulness amidst our age's sexual confusion.”
Science & Faith
“This book would be fascinating for its scientific content alone, establishing the surprisingly high probability of all human beings alive having common ancestral parents akin to the biblical Adam and Eve. But it also offers biblical, theological, and philosophical subtlety and precision, all saturated with hermeneutical charity on questions too often marked by polemics and hostility. It takes the reader on an intellectual adventure and reanimates our pursuit of one of the most profound human questions: Can sacred and natural history combine to tell us something essential about who we are and why we are here? I believe we are at an inflection point where the scientific plausibility of the core convictions of biblical faith is increasing after centuries of skepticism. This book may well be remembered as one of the turning points in that story.”
Christian Living
“This hopeful and challenging book begins with some of our hardest questions about God and ends with some of God’s greatest promises to us. It is a gift to all of us who care enough about our faith to question it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Even well-intentioned efforts to build more diverse organizations will fail unless we address the realities of pain, power, and the past. With clarity and honesty, Adrian Pei shows how facing these realities can lead to compassion, advocacy, and wisdom for a better future. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to see genuinely multicultural organizations thrive.”
Apologetics
“James has found a simple way to convey to both Christians and non-Christians that the good news is cosmically good—a diagram that does the best job I've encountered yet of placing our personal stories in the context of God's bigger story.”
