A Deeper Walk

Discipleship & Christian Education

“In A Deeper Walk, Marcus has managed to gather together the most significant, coherent, and powerful design to help us develop exactly what the title calls for: a deeper walk with God. All of Marcus's books are excellent, but this is his best and most comprehensive work—not only laying out what the key components of healthy discipleship are, but also presenting how to apprehend them in life. I plan on putting this in the hands of all the clergy I oversee, and all the new bishops I work with overseas.”

Escaping Enemy Mode

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Escaping Enemy Mode is a powerful and desperately needed book. Easiest to address are those unwitting or unintentional times when we shut off relational circuits and harm those we care about. More challenging are the times when we (or friends) allow descent into the destructive behaviors that are increasingly hard to stop. Worst of all are the times when we, or those around us, step into the grip of coldhearted predatory 'intelligent enemy mode,' and act destructively on purpose. Jim and Ray offer winsome and often painfully transparent examples of their own shortfalls, and amazingly hopeful guidance of how to be our best selves who not only prosper in relationships but make the world better. It is an important read.”

Martin Buber’s Dialogue

Philosophy

“Kenneth P. Kramer’s new book on the philosopher and humanist Martin Buber is an engaging read. Buber believed in the interactions between people through dialogue and defined elements of the dialogic necessary to attain meaningful exchanges. Through his own life’s story and many anecdotes, Kramer shows how Buber shaped and influenced his life, thereby providing the reader with a portal into Buber’s thinking. The book is highly successful and how timely, coming at this crucial moment in history, when so little dialogue is present.”

The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled People

Christian Living

“Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey have hit the jackpot with this new book. We all live in a world that is filled with fears and problems, but this book shares how to find joy in the midst of difficult circumstances. What has been missing until recent years is how our brains work—how the brain is 'wired' to process negative emotions and return to joy. Their fascinating, and eminently readable book shares clear pathways that can be developed, resulting in the transformation we seek to return to joy. I can't think of anyone who doesn't need it!”

The Joy Switch

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In The Joy Switch, Chris Coursey presents a treasure trove of information. What makes this book extraordinary is the honest, humbling transparency that Chris offers, sharing his struggles and failures as well as his victories. It is his honest report of the challenge of actually living this material that gives it so much traction. I have no doubt that the transformation to experience more joy will come to the life of any reader of The Joy Switch.”
