“done” who has given up on the church and a hard-bitten cynic turning his back on Christianity. But he’s not. Surviving a childhood in an apocalyptic cult and the deep disappointment of a failed church as a young adult, Zach Hoag has pressed on to find a mature, authentic, and sustainable faith. Beyond doom and gloom eschatology and overwrought revivalism, there is a place of healthy religion where the light is winning. Zach Hoag is a faithful guide to this better place, and I hope many a wounded and disappointed soul will follow him there.”

“James Bryan Smith rightly understands that to be a Christian is not so much a conferred status as it is a journey we embark upon—a journey toward Christlikeness. This journey of apprenticeship is less about learning right beliefs and more about employing right practices. If we are to make progress in Christlikeness, we need what Smith calls 'soul training.' And this is what makes The Magnificent Journey such an exciting and valuable book. With The Magnificent Journey James Bryan Smith blazes a trail for all who desire to live deep in the kingdom of Christ.”

“In The Magnificent Story, James Bryan Smith invites us out of the shrunken stories of a fear-based and formulaic gospel into a genuine encounter with the exquisite beauty of Christ. Smith points us to the practices of 'soul training' by which our lives can be formed in beauty, goodness, and truth. A most welcome and helpful book!”

“In this timely and well-written book, Jonathan Martin joins us for a long walk on the Emmaus road, which these days is crowded with disappointed and disillusioned people forlornly trudging away from the high hopes they once held for the Christian faith. But Jesus is full of surprises and doesn’t give up on any of us—even the most despairing. Martin patiently reminds us of this beautiful truth as he gently whispers how the road away from God can become the road back home. I am grateful for the help and hope this book will bring to so many.”

“The Way of the Desert Elders is a fascinating exploration of a rigorous Christianity that flourished in the early centuries of the faith. In an era when the practice of Western Christianity is often lax and uninspired, Lisa Colón DeLay brings us spiritual wisdom from our desert mothers and fathers--a hard-won wisdom that has the potential to revitalize contemporary Christianity.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In our increasingly polarized political landscape we are in constant danger of being conscripted as foot soldiers for cannon fodder in America’s culture wars. But surely Christians should have an instinct that we are called to a presence more noble than rhetorical trench warfare. Austin Fischer emphatically intuits this in his timely book, Us for Them. Fischer writes with intelligence, eloquence, and humor as he points us toward a transcendence that rises above the hate-politics of our current culture—a transcendence that is truly Christian.”

“In You Are a Tree, Joy Marie Clarkson combines the biblical motif of metaphor with insightful artistic allusions as she leads us into a rich conversation about the soul’s relationship with God. And she does so with the keen intellect of a scholar and the winsomeness of a skilled communicator.”
