Agents of Flourishing

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“When history looks back on the church in America at the start of the twenty-first century, it won't be a pretty sight. Division, scandals, unbelief, materialism, individualism, theological drift . . . the list goes on and on. We've simply lost our way. Fortunately, this latest work by Dr. Amy Sherman provides a road map to help us get back on track. Amy rightly focuses our attention on the central message of Jesus—the good news of the kingdom of God (Luke 4:43)—and provides readers with helpful prompts to improvise this story in their cities and neighborhoods. Miraculously, we are to do this—not by exercising worldly power but from a posture of humility, grace, and sacrificial love. This is the way of King Jesus, and it needs to be the way of the church once again.”

God Is Stranger

Christian Living

“In God Is Stranger, Krish Kandiah asks us to lean in to the passages of Scripture that challenge our perception of what it looks like when God shows up. As the global refugee crisis marches on, it is imperative for the church to embrace God's heart for the aliens, outcasts, and exiles. This is a profoundly important book for such a time as this.”

Seeking Refuge

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In a culture that has devolved into self-centered individualism, the church has a tremendous opportunity to express Christ's love for the refugees landing on our doorsteps. In fact, a failure to do so is simply a failure to be the body of Jesus Christ. Rooted in solid research and the authors' vast experience, Seeking Refuge both challenges and equips the church to take action in the face of the growing global crisis. This is an essential book for such a time as this.”

Slow Kingdom Coming

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Seeking first the kingdom of God often feels like running the last mile of a marathon in wet sand. Progress seems painfully slow, and we often want to cry out in agony. Kent Annan provides us with practices to give us strength in the race so that we can run and not grow weary. I wish I'd had this book years ago!”

The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good

Christian Living

Foreword

“In this extremely timely and important book, Peter Greer applies the apostle Paul’s teaching to the twenty-first century leader. Readable, humorous, and keenly insightful.”

Wisdom's Call

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“There has never been a bigger gap between humanity's knowledge and its wisdom. Mind-boggling technological advances coexist with equally bewildering declines in even the most basic 'common sense.' As the culture stands at the crossroads, Wisdom's Call beckons us to choose the ancient paths, the ways of truth, love, justice, and shalom. It's hard to imagine a more salient message for such a time as this.”
