A Voice Undefeated

History & Biography

“Collin Raye has always stood up for causes that are near to his heart. A Voice Undefeated gives us a glimpse into his personal family life and heartaches, his music career, and his profound love of music. His analysis of today's music culture and his courageous challenge to Nashville to recapture the legacy of its roots is a stark reminder of the gift we all inherited from the great legends of Country music.”

Agents of Grace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The season we find ourselves in demands agents of grace and ambassadors of peace if we are going to bridge the divides we face today. This isn’t foreign to our faith but core to it. Peacemaking and bridge building are signs the kingdom has come. Why are they so foreign to us as everyday followers of Jesus? Dan gives us great hope and help doing these very things. Read it and, more important, practice it.”

Disruption

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A vision for the future. Mark has articulated the very disruption that needs to happen in order for churches in the West not only to survive, but also to thrive. Times are changing. Is your church ready? Let Mark be your guide to usher you into this new reality. Daniel Im Director of Church Multiplication at NewChurches.com, and Teaching Pastor Co-author, Planting Missional Churches This is a thoroughly captivating book that helps the church navigate the future while engaging the culture. It helps you think beyond the norm and the too-often-prescribed. Sadly the church gets stuck in the past and becomes a keeper of the tradition, instead a prophetic voice to the future. The book contains many great stories that enable you to see practically how this is done.”

Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Justin Giboney is in a category all by himself—so is this book. Giboney is one of those emerging leaders who merits careful attention not merely because of charisma but more so from depth of insight and careful reflection. He's a strange mix of Tim Keller and Martin Luther King Jr. wrapped up in his own personality and voice. The church was born in the public square from the day of Pentecost onward. Sadly today, the church has come to view the public square as a boxing ring instead of a living room where we can have public discourse without having to vilify those we disagree with. This book charts a new path to engagement and witness for followers of Jesus in a public way. Giboney will make everyone uncomfortable at some point, but he will also make everyone think if they are willing.”

Gospel Fluency

Christian Living

“I love this book because its title delivers. To be able to explain what the gospel is, how it works in our own lives, and how it's shared is a unique and powerful combination I’ve never seen before. Jeff has written a book that will be around a long time because it reforms evangelism in a fresh way.”

I Am a Follower

Christian Living

“Len is no ‘semiotician’ in this book but a prophet to the Western Church. At times I felt like I was reading Jeremiah, challenging the shepherds of Israel. This is a much needed and long overdue book that deals with leadership in the Western Church and what it has come to. It doesn’t stop there though—it drives home the core thought, if not thesis of the book, that it’s all about following Jesus first and most. Until we get this right, the church isn’t going anywhere in the West.”

Inalienable

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is the book I've been waiting for. Each author is writing from different disciplines and ministry backgrounds, each grateful for their tribes yet seeing something far more important—kingdom citizens made of every tribe, tongue, and nation. Until we see ourselves as one people with one King and one mission, we will forever undermine Jesus, the One we claim to worship. It's time we stop talking so much and start listening a lot more—to God and one another. The church is broken and lost—this book points to the path back home. May we get on our faces before God and repent of our deepest sin, a failure to love with abandonment.”

Kingdom Calling

Work, Money & Leadership

“To me, this book is at the core of what kingdom living and engagement are all about. When the church in the West gets this, we are going to see transformation on an unimaginable scale. Solid theology, good stories and lots of practical application.”

Loving Samaritans

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A national prophetic word from a national Christian pastor of a local church! With great courage, clarity, and biblical foundations, Pastor Terry Crist calls the American church and Christians to repentance and love of all neighbors. He has lived everything he is preaching; it’s not just a lot of words. Loving Samaritans provides a path to holding on to your faith while loving those who are outside it or who live contrary to what your faith teaches. He calls us back to Jesus’ life and teachings. A rare and must-read book for anyone wanting to build bridges, share Jesus, or simply love others.”

Metrospiritual

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I really enjoyed Sean Benesh's Metrospirtual: The Georgraphy of Church Planting. I found it fresh, challenging, and comprehensive of things that are critical in selecting and identifying the community in which to work and the issues at play in the community. I highly recommend every church planter to devour it slowly.”

Money Matters in Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There are no two people that I have learned more from than Steve Stroope and Aubrey Malphurs. Steve is a brilliant pastor with incredible insights on information about churches. Aubrey’s systems are always clear and accurate. I encourage every pastor and church planter to read this book from cover to cover.”

Organic Leadership

World Religions

“Though I frequently read leadership books, it has been a very long time since I’ve read a book on leadership that moved me, challenged me, gave me fresh insights, and went beyond the typical ‘here’s how you get it done’ approach. Neil takes the person, the context, and God’s Word, and mixes them in a powerful way for a life of leadership. Absent from this mix is the Western-driven spirit of ‘how to use people to get your stuff done’! This is a book on how leaders do life, develop others, and flow in the kingdom of God.”

Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel

Christian Living

“Please read this book about THE BOOK! For a follower of Jesus, reading and knowing the Bible is everything since it is the objective source of our faith. Sadly, few read it and fewer study it, and yet when many do, they do so often studying some book or subject in the Bible disconnected from the greater whole of God's story and the gospel. Recently, I've read a couple of books on reading books—which has tremendously helped me. This book will have a profound impact on how you read the Bible and the lens you see it through.”

Sacrilege

Christian Living

“I love Hugh Halter’s sense of adventure and living in the moment. That is exactly what Sacrilege is about—living in the moment, following Jesus, letting our relationship with Jesus push the boundaries out. Hugh is not an ivory tower writer but a trekker out on the range who goes from descending into the hot, sweaty, dense jungle to climbing high in the dry cold to summit mountains. It’s time to shake up our notions about what a disciple is and what it really means to follow Jesus. Hugh is one of the few who does just that.”

Signs of the Times

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There are so many words, titles, and descriptions you could use for Leonard Sweet. He is, without a doubt, one of the greatest gifts given to the church the past forty years. For him to be a blessing to your life you have to engage with his mind and heart, and this book shows how many people have done that--and for that reason alone it's a great gift to all who read it.”

Spurgeon’s Theology for Multiplying Disciples and Churches

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Rod Earls is opening up a whole different perspective on Spurgeon and his impact in ways that most pastors don’t have a clue about. Spurgeon, the church planting pastor! He may have been the prince of preachers, but he was also an apostle for global church planting. Read this and learn. Incredibly relevant for today.”

The Other Half of Church

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“I don't think I've read a more important book on discipleship in the past twenty-five years than this one. The church is starving for this book. It grows out of an understanding of the kingdom of God and impacts what that means to live it on a daily basis. This could be a game changer because it doesn't deal with the "disciplines" of discipleship as much as it does the framework of how we grow and live in community. It's not the kind of book you'll read and put down and forget—it will stay with you as you grow in the truth it teaches.”

The Skeletons in God's Closet

Apologetics

“Profound. Powerful. Paradigm shifting. This is simply the best book I’ve read from a young author in years. We will be hearing a lot more from Joshua, and I’ll be listening to everything he has to say and all that he writes. He writes with the depth of a theologian, the passion of an activist, the mind of a thinker, and the view of a globalist. This book is a book for the 21st century in a pluralistic public square kind of world. We are in desperate need of thinkers and writers like Joshua whether you agree or disagree with him.”

Your Jesus Is Too American

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Rarely does a book jump off the page like this one. Steve’s ability to write in a way that can be absorbed and practiced by anyone is truly a gift. The kingdom of God is still coming; there is nothing more hopeful, revolutionary, or transformational to our current personal and societal context than this. It’s odd how we’ve become masters of helping people accept Jesus without teaching much else. Steve takes us beyond accepting Christ to embracing what he taught.”
