Brian S. Harris
History & Biography
“This is a surprisingly rich feast of papers exploring the relevance and place of ecclesiological convictions and traditions in a post-denominational era. The lead articles by Nigel Wright and Martin Sutherland help the reader feel part of the original conference that birthed this publication. Supplemented by a rich array of supporting articles, the final product is timely and thought provoking-even prophetic.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Sadly, this book is all too relevant, exploring dysfunction and abuse within the local church. Drawing from painful personal experience, Keith Ford highlights the importance of speaking prophetically into toxic scenarios, and the cost this often incurs. Noting that criticizing is easy, he elevates the conversation, for while the book addresses sobering topics, it does so in a way that is life serving and hope filled. Bitter Fruit is well worth the read.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Informative, thoughtful, and insightfully applied, Brian Winslade’s exploration of the relevance of the Ten Commandments for the twenty-first century is a valuable read. The questions for small group discussion at the end of each chapter are an added bonus, and will ensure the issues raised are dug into deeply. An excellent book.”
Christian Living
“Not only is Rob Douglas the consummate host, welcoming us into his world with warmth and kindness, he is also a gifted storyteller, bringing to life tales from both the world of the Bible and our own in a way that stretches and inspires. It is a pleasure to commend this wonderful book.”
Dancing in the Dark, Revised Edition
Theology
“This welcome second edition of Graham Buxton's Dancing in the Dark deepens the themes of the first. Buxton creatively explores what it means to participate in God's ministry in the world, developing a helpful paradigm for ministry, exploring its implications in practice, and closing with a portrait of listening leadership and living in hope. Informed by significant ministry experience and rich and wide reading, it is a treasure not to be missed.”
Women
“I love books that are filled with wisdom—insightful gems that see me repeatedly reaching for my notepad. Finding Your Voice is one of those books. In it, Jennifer Turner draws from her rich life experiences, modeling how our stories can assist in identifying where God is at work. She pastors us through the book’s pages and helps us to discover our voice. This is a significant gift to us all.”
Apologetics
“This insightful book, conversational in tone, invites the reader into an exploration of life’s most important questions. With gentle humor it moves you along. Is it likely God exists? What explanations can there be for our finely tuned Universe? How do we explain consciousness or our desire for moral guidance? What should we make of suffering? or of the empty tomb of Jesus? The tone is fresh, generous, and convincing. It makes complex arguments accessible. It is a book that will spark many rich discussions and is a wonderful contribution to apologetics.”
Christian Living
“We are all searching for home. Jennifer Turner understands this, and in her wonderful book, Home with the Good Father, she gently points us towards paths that lead to deeper intimacy with God. Using motifs from the parable of the prodigal son(s) and supplementing them with relatable stories from her life, she helps us explore blocks we might face in our journey. This is a deeply encouraging book, written for all with a longing for home.”
Preaching & Worship
“John Tucker is to be commended for sensitively editing this highly relevant collection of essays about preaching, many of them flowing from the School of Preaching at Carey Baptist College, Auckland. Text Messages is organized around five themes—text, society, listener, preacher, and Christ. At a time when we hear so much about the ‘crisis in preaching’, these excellent papers lay a pathway for a positive future.”
Theology
“In a day when many Christians have a hazy grasp of their faith, Nigel Wright's Vital Truth comes as a timely corrective. Written with commendable clarity, it succinctly and accessibly explores the core convictions of Christianity. It is persuasive, winsome, and readable. Chapters are short enough to be savored and provide excellent material for small group study. Definitely a book to get hold of.”
