Preaching & Worship
“No one has been more influential in this generation of preachers, and in my life personally, than Sidney Greidanus on the necessity of Christ's purposes pervading all biblical exposition. I welcome this latest contribution to his extensive body of work that has so blessed Christ's church.”
Preaching Christ in All of Scripture
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Edmund Clowney is this generation's patriarch of redemptive-historical preaching. For decades he was the voice crying in the wilderness to encourage evangelical preachers to make Christ the focus of all their messages, since he is the aim of all the Scriptures. Now, many others have joined Clowney's gospel chorus, but none with greater mastery than he of the harmonies that weave the symphony of grace throughout the Bible. As Clowney shares with us the jewels of his research, message, and heart, we discern ever more clearly how to make the Pearl of Great Price shine through all the treasures of Scripture.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Frederick Buechner famously wrote that the preacher should not be like the captain of a ship ‘who is the only one aboard who . . . does not know that the waves are twenty feet high.’ Preaching to pain clearly indicates that we understand that there are waves. Confessing our own pain as part of that process indicates that we have had to navigate the waves too. Matthew Kim addresses the waves and rides them with his readers to teach us all how to navigate life’s storms by the light of our Savior’s heart.”
Suffering and the Goodness of God
Theology
“The skeptic chides: 'If God is good, he is not God; if God is God, he is not good.' With Scripture to answer the pain of real life questions, and with real life pain to question Scripture, these theologians address the hardest questions with honesty, tenderness, and deep truth.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Mike Osborne brings a wealth of pastoral experience and personal transparency to this discussion of ministry 'survival.' Even more, he brings a love for Christ and his church that makes these tales of church 'hurricanes' wise tools for serving, as well as surviving, the ministry.”
Preaching & Worship
“I know of no book that better unites pastoral practice and preaching advice than John Stott's original Between Two Worlds. Inevitably the analogies and allusions of such a classic become dated, so I welcome this updated and retitled version that, under the expert hand of Greg Scharf, is designed to make Stott's wisdom and heart reach the next generation of biblical preachers.”
History & Biography
“Revisionist histories were once the rage, as academics sought recognition by shaking us from deeply and dearly held perceptions of the past with revelations of novel and counter 'facts.' McKenzie works the opposite direction, resurfacing the history we have forgotten regarding one of our most treasured holidays--Thanksgiving--to help reexamine and reinforce our most important convictions regarding faith and culture.”
Theology
“A once-common hymn declared that those who know the old, old story best long to hear it like the rest. Kapic’s book demonstrates that one who knows the gospel well can tell Jesus’ story very, very well—so well that we will delight to be owned by the One who gave himself for us.”
Christian Living
“Men who have taught us so much about God's transforming grace now marshal their resources to defend and define the glorious blessings of Christ's atonement, which exchanges our sin for his righteousness. No truth is more important; no book more needed.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Thoughtfully shows how tolerance has morphed into a pervasive insistence that no one should hold firm convictions. . . . Not to hear and heed Carson is to enter a nightmarish world in which zeal to discern truth is replaced by zeal to keep anyone from claiming anything is really true.”
The Lord Bless You and Keep You
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Deep in the Reformation worship tradition of both Luther and Calvin is the consistent use of the Aaronic blessing. So it is a delight and a privilege to read and recommend Michael Glodo’s book-length treatment of this beautiful and powerful portion of God’s word, deepening our understanding and renewing our use of our Reformed heritage.”
The Supremacy of God in Preaching
Church Leadership & Ministry
“John Piper passionately and prophetically calls all preachers to make God supreme over any method and in every message. The plan is too simple for a fallen world to notice and too powerful for a faithful preacher to ignore.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Kevin DeYoung not only relates the Ten Commandments to our contemporary context, but also relates them to their redemptive context by reminding us, ‘All of our doing is only because of what he has first done for us.’ This is living for God in response to his grace, rather than to deserve it. The result is that the Commandments serve as bread for our souls, rather than as a bribe for God’s love.”
Theology
“I marvel at Sinclair Ferguson’s grasp of historical detail, but I praise God more for Sinclair’s love of and zeal for gospel clarity. The grace that saves our souls and enables our obedience is defined, distinguished, and treasured in this discussion about keeping the proclamation of the gospel free from human error.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The modern role of the worship leader . . . has emerged in recent years as a mission-critical position on church staffs,” writes Zac Hicks. But how do we characterize that role? With years of contemporary worship-leading experience, theological acumen, love of the church, and profound respect for the calling of leading God’s people in declaring his glory, Hicks identifies the role as pastor. Hicks explores perspectives that will inspire worship leaders and ennoble the worship practices and priorities of God’s people.”
