A Trip around the Sun

Christian Living

“When two great communicators from two different generations collaborate on a book chronicling their adventures following Jesus, it’s probably worth a look. Authors Mark Batterson and Dick Foth infuse warmth, disarming transparency, and insight into everything they do, and A Trip around the Sun is captivating and delightfully difficult to lay down. The gift of storytelling is in rare form here, and readers are invited into the authors’ personal and professional journeys with moments from their mentoring friendship, vignettes from history, great quotes from some of history’s great adventurers, and practical insights from God’s Word. Everyday things become meaningful things, and generational perspectives engage us. No matter how many trips we’ve taken around the sun, Foth and Batterson whet our appetites to risk doing life with Jesus full-out, to do it with friends treasured and those yet to be made, and to leave a legacy of high adventure with God that will impact generations to follow. A Trip around the Sun is well worth the read!”

Ending Human Trafficking

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In the battle against human trafficking and restoring victims, the church has a vital role to play. In Ending Human Trafficking, Moore, Morgan, and Yim provide a well-researched, practical handbook to coach the local church in how to engage antitrafficking collaboratively in their communities and help victims in their recovery. This book offers needed knowledge, best practices in the field, and sound theology. It's a great resource for church leaders, teachers, and ministry students.”

Teamwork Cross-Culturally

Evangelism & Missions

“A much-needed look at the challenges and opportunities of multinational ministry teams in twenty-first-century missions. Lingenfelter and Green bring great experience and solid research to this work that builds on Jesus’s metaphors of shepherd, servant, and steward as the goal for leaders in every cultural context. In-depth case studies present leaders who represent distinct styles of leadership and are working within different mission organizations in different regions of the world. But all are similarly tackling the complicated problems inherent in doing God’s mission on multicultural teams. Lingenfelter and Green are unflinchingly honest about the temptation of leaders to use authority and power for control. Interpersonal relationship issues are painfully common. But the authors offer substantive hope by presenting strategies that can help teams forge unity of purpose, Jesus-like nurturing leadership, and members that value and learn from one another on the redemptive journey. For cross-cultural missionaries and leaders fulfilling God’s mission in today’s complex world, Teamwork Cross-Culturally is a valuable gift.”

Wasting Time with God

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In Wasting Time with God, Klaus Issler compellingly connects knowing and loving God with our ability as members of the body of Christ to know and love one another. Christian women in particular who intuitively resonate with the community aspects of faith will be enriched by the author's biblically sound insights into the correlation between rich relationships with one another and an increasingly intimate relationship with our God. This work of the heart is an honest quest to move beyond a primarily 'cerebral' faith to an increasingly intimate relational one with the divine--a quest made significant by its refreshing integration of intellectual excellence, sound theological scholarship and spiritual humility. Issler has also created a welcome voice of balance on the person and work of the third person of the Trinity. For those who have tended to ignore the person and work of the Holy Spirit, Wasting Time with God is an articulate reminder that he is there to know and experience more fully.”
