Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“With welcoming clarity, 8 Habits for Growth offers the reader a cup of encouragement and food for discernment in the holy care of body, mind, and spirit for the purpose-filled pilgrimage ahead. Fortunately, there is nothing we can do to earn grace. And fortunately, we have a model in Jesus of God's best for us. In light of these blessings, Darryl Dash provides a thoughtful and thorough guide on how to number our days.”
A Complete Handbook of Literary Forms in the Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Here is a book, indeed, to keep at hand: it will hold a permanent place by my Bible. Leland Ryken illustrates the interrelationship between meaning and form in a manner that is erudite, accessible, and illuminating. Learning about literary forms in the Bible deepens our understanding and appreciation of Scripture, and glorifies our God as Author of all.”
Christian Living
“This beautiful collection of psalms expressed as poetic prayer reminds us of the relevance of reverence in our daily lives and the hope breathed through even the darkest of sufferings. Alight on a different poem each day, and find rest in its cadence, restoration in its celebration, and guidance from new songs grown from deep-rooted wisdom.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“By bringing humility to a working world driven by achievement, urgency, and overwhelming demands, Dr. Arianna Molloy reminds her readers of the only satisfaction that can truly last. Dr. Molloy's insightful book Healthy Calling offers a timely and powerful reminder that anything that is not God is an idol and that we glorify God best when we rest in him first. Dr. Molloy's refreshingly honest wisdom and informed compassion lead us to a renewed, deeper, and sustainable joy in the goodwork for our good God that we have each been truly called to do.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Caregiving is the holy act of the literal laying of hands on another to help and to heal. It requires strength, courage, and commitment to serve another intimately with dignity, respect, and love. The giving of such care, however, gives the one who cares a glimpse into God's priceless kenotic gift to humanity. This beautiful and important devotional based on Nouwen's magnanimous wisdom offers encouragement to those entrusted with caregiving by reminding them that what they are doing plants roots in the eternal—even in the hidden or lonely recesses of servitude, caregivers are seen, they matter, and they are upheld by the right hand of God!”

Theology
“What bursts forth when Chesterton, Lewis, Sayers, and Tozer all meet together in one place? Trevin Wax's masterpiece The Thrill of Orthodoxy! With wise enthusiasm, Wax shows the weary, world-worn, or simply disinterested pilgrim how right belief has laid a path through the darkness into bright adventure ahead. Conforming our souls to the holy proves the most wildly nonconformist and yet fulfilling thing we can do. Read here why 'adventure' starts with 'advent.' For indeed, as Wax reminds us, by trusting the true yet unplumbable mysteries of God, yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Jon is the real thing. And his beautiful book on the power and relevancy of prayer to all of life’s circumstances directs us to the realest thing of all: the God who loves us and desires relationship with us. Let’s talk with him as we walk with him.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“What a brave, beautiful, and bountiful book that sings with quiet wisdom on the power of loneliness and the sanctity of companionship. . . . Flanagan looks directly into the center of what it means to be human and helps us hold our gaze there, too, so we may see ourselves and each other more clearly with a searing and soaring grace.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Lavishly illustrated and brimming with wisdom and whimsy, Ryan Whitaker Smith gives us a lovely Christmas book to be enjoyed by young and old alike throughout the year. Here delightful stories, excerpts, and reflective exercises are jeweled with poems, recipes, traditions, and even games! The charm of a time past illuminates the gift of our Savior ever into our present—in a manner of which Chesterton would have approved. For, in the words of C. S. Lewis, 'Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good [winter] fire?'”
