After more than twenty years of friendship with Steve, I can personally attest to his spiritual wisdom for leaders, needed today more than ever.

Called to Be Friends, Called to Serve
History & Biography
“As a friend of the Ahmansons and an acquaintance of Mr. Perkins, I was moved and encouraged to read the story of John Perkins and Howard Ahmanson’s unlikely friendship. Their respective stories of Christ’s redemption in their lives are deeply compelling and are made even more so by the way their stories have been woven together by their relationship. The work God has done through Howard and John’s bond is a convicting example and a healing balm in an age of polarization and tribalism. Whether you have known these men for years or have never heard of them, I highly recommend this book: it is a shining example of Christian unity and love that transcends the things that tend to divide us.”
Character Formation in Online Education
Discipleship & Christian Education
“All of us in the Christian higher-education enterprise are asking the same question: Can we use technology to educate students without foregoing the virtues inherent in our universities? These virtues define us: Christlike formation, faculty mentoring, character development, thoughtful and biblical integration, and the nurturing of a servant leader. Without these, we go limp. For anyone asking those questions, you need to read Character Formation in Online Education. Dr. Joanne Jung, a contemplative and historically grounded professor, guides thoughtful leaders through the complex and growing place of digital learning in Christian higher education today.”
Christianity in the Greco-Roman World
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Hubbard has woven intriguing narratives with cultural and NT contexts to give readers a vivid picture of what the primitive 'Jesus movement' meant to the ancient world. The depth of his cultural research and the thoroughness of his scholarship on the topic of NT Christianity offer readers not just a glimpse, but a total immersion in Greco-Roman life. I commend this work of historical and intellectual importance.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Our country is divided. Jim Belcher in this thoughtful book helps us understand what and who is making the polarization worse. Our country is divided, and Jim helps us consider a new vital center, one that will heal and not fracture. Cold Civil War is an important book to help Christians recover a vibrant public philosophy, one that will empower Christ-followers to lead our society from the tumultuous to the virtuous. Cold Civil War is a hopeful book. Read it.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Let's face it, the statistics are not good about grownups, especially men, and their ability to maintain close friendships outside their family. Bryan Loritts confronts this reality with a book-length antidote to a growing culture of friendless lives. His blunt honesty, practical remedy, biblical fidelity, and heart of charity will leave you hopeful that indeed, friendships new and old can endure.”
Christian Living
“Drs. JP Foster and Matt Williams have written a must-read primer for anyone seeking to find their true identity in Christ. Read this book, and within weeks it will change your life. BISHOP ULESES C. HENDERSON JR., team chaplain for the Los Angeles Lakers There are few practitioners/scholars I trust as much as Drs. JP Foster and Matt Williams to shepherd readers with true pastoral care and deep Christian wisdom. Toward your journey of knowing Christ, this one-two punch from the pastor at one of Los Angeles’s significant pulpits and from among the more sought-after professors where I serve is a gift. Foster has counseled me in profound ways as a leader and follower of Jesus, and Williams’s wisdom has impacted me through our personal interactions and his thoughtful scholarship. I know firsthand that they live what they write. Dive into this book with seriousness, and you will find it life-shaping.”
Integrating Faith and Special Education
“There is a natural connection between Christian faith and special education, with both focusing on compassion for the weak and the inherent dignity of every human being. Dr. Ben Nworie, a remarkable special education scholar and practitioner, models this integration well in his life, teaching, and now in his important new book, [which] advances special education practice by drawing from the wisdom of the Christian tradition. I hope it is read widely.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Every time Tim Muehlhoff gets up to speak, he commands the audience's attention from start to finish. I am among his biggest fans, adjusting my schedule to hear his always creative, poignant, funny and God-honoring words. His gift of communication in an auditorium is not outdone by his gift of communication in a book. In his new book, Marriage Forecasting, Tim is refreshingly transparent and honest as he lays out an antidote to the miscommunications that get in the way of so many of us married types. What makes this book even more important to me is that I know Tim, a regular guy who wrestles like the rest of us with how to make a marriage work well and long. Once again through these pages, I marvel at Tim's remarkable ability to communicate biblical truth in real-world ways.”
No Program but Time, No Book but the Bible
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Scott Gibson knows biblical preaching, and he is a teacher of teachers. If anyone desires to understand more about homiletics from a scholar and practitioner mentored by the inimitable Haddon Robinson, Scott Gibson is among the handful of today's leading professors and scholars. I trust this book will help many in their public articulation of God's Word with conviction and courage.”

From hearing him talk before thousands to sitting over a meal talking man-to-man, I have come to know Sam as sincere in his life and rooted in his convictions. In our polarized world, Sam does not look for a middle ground but a higher ground, pointing others to Jesus.”

As I face challenges big and small, I look forward to the nuggets of ideas and frameworks he provides to be some of my decision-making guideposts. I have made it a point not to read many books on the how-tos of leadership, so for this very reason Prevail is being read!”
