Preaching & Worship
“The topics of this book are close to my heart and close to the needs of the church today. Taylor knows that good theology and good practice form a whole, and he lays that out in ways that will bless us body and soul. This book will be useful across a wide variety of worshiping traditions.”
Preaching & Worship
“Those of us who are tired or cynical at Christmastime need this book by Emily McGowin, who gives Christmas back to us without stinginess or sentimentality, inviting us to wonder at the Word made flesh. McGowin brings the wisdom of the theological adept, the pastoral heart of the priest, and the tenderness of the disciple to help us understand what it means to worship a newborn king.”
Christological Anthropology in Historical Perspective
Theology
“As he leads readers through important historical figures, Marc Cortez makes a valuable contribution to the doctrine of the human being and to Christology. He demonstrates how key biblical themes have been taken up in the tradition and, in doing so, points readers to what it means to be human in Christ. This book will be valuable to students and professionals alike.”
Evangelism & Missions
“On this pressing topic of the church, there is no more tender pastor or wiser theologian than Rochelle Scheuermann. Her book invites us to share the good news with everybody, just as our incarnate God would have us do.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Gifts Glittering and Poisoned offers spot-on theology for the contemporary church, a church disenchanted with disenchantment but so often unaware of the idols by which we are bound. Ross takes us on a journey of the spectacular from Augustine to Bono, and he has the theological and spiritual insight to provide us with a sure guide along the way.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“This book is the beautiful and much-needed antidote to family books based on control and 'try-hard-ness.' This book is based in the grace of Jesus Christ and will bless those who read it.”
Arts & Literature
“Kriner is fearless in her exploration of the difficulty of place and land in a peripatetic and racially scarred America. Here are shades of Wendell Berry, Annie Dillard, and Julian of Norwich, but In Thought, Word, and Seed has, first, a voice all its own. Luminous. Audacious. Holy.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“A broken and struggling evangelical church needs the wisdom of Dallas Willard, and Keas Keasler brings it for a new generation, in all its beauty and challenge.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“John is close to my heart, and we don't read his letters enough. Tara Beth Leach is a faithful guide to this important part of Scripture, inviting it to change our hearts, minds, and lives.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“This volume is a testament to the many ways God has used Scot McKnight’s work to help us to see the fullness and beauty of the Gospel and to give glory to King Jesus.”
Theology
“Tyler Hansen and Emily Lund have succeeded in sharing the heart and meat of Christian theology in a fresh way that will appeal to those wanting a first foothold in the conversation. Napkin Theology is warm and genuine.”
Theology
“I literally learned parenting and theology on Holly’s couch, and I’m so glad her wisdom is now available in this book, which is different from any other parenting book you’ve encountered because it’s first about who God is.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“I can think of no one I'd rather teach me to pray than Warren Smith. He's a pastoral scholar and his pastoral counsel is scholarly, and this is the case without condescension or any loss of clarity. Smith's book sheds warm light on the familiar words of Scripture and the familiar practice of praying as Jesus taught us to pray. Smith's wise and fatherly voice in this book will help readers to better know the Father of Jesus Christ.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Wise and tender, Shawna Songer Gaines recovers a biblical metaphor deeply needed in our time, a metaphor that can bring healing and transformation to a hurting church. Gaines has midwifed me in discipleship and leadership, and you won't regret inviting her to do the same for you.”
Theology
“I'm grateful for this account of the church's relationship to the life of God for refusing the hopelessness of so much contemporary ecclesiology. All of us who persist in preaching or hearing the Word and receiving God's good gifts at the table will be strengthened and encouraged by Owens's theocentric understanding of what the church is up to in the world.”
History & Biography
“This book is what Methodism needs right now. In this engaging reminder of the Spirit's work in an improbable global communion, Barbeau accounts for both the good and the bad in a tradition God has used to work on many continents. In that account, there is hope for a faithful Methodist future.”
