Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Pastor Dillon T. Thornton has done something almost unimaginable in today’s hyperconnected world: he’s gone off social media—cold turkey. But Deathly (De)Vices isn’t an instruction manual on how you can do the same. Instead, it’s a thoughtful exploration of how our smartphones can warp our souls. Dillon uses the seven capital vices—vainglory, envy, sloth, avarice, wrath, gluttony, and lust—to not only shine a light on the technology, but on our own hearts. A challenging, engrossing read!”
Expository Reflections on the Gospels, Volume 3
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Doug O’Donnell’s commentary on Mark’s Gospel is a remarkable piece of work. Grounded in a meticulous study of the text and sensitive to its theological contours, he offers fresh insight that is readily accessible to the preacher and layperson alike. O’Donnell’s poetic turns of phrase, engaging wit, and pastoral sensibility make it a resource that every Christian will want to have on the shelf.”

“The statistics are out there—America’s youth are in crisis. Both young men and women are experiencing frightening levels of depression, suicide, drug abuse, and confusion about themselves and the world around them. Worse, many (even those who are seemingly well-adjusted and happy) are drowning in a sea of apathy and ignorance about the only thing that can set their feet on solid spiritual ground: God’s word. None too late comes this thrilling book by Jon Nielson. Breaking down God’s story into a compelling play of five acts, God’s Great Story helps our teens (and perhaps their parents) navigate their way through the Bible in a year to see the big picture of redemption—and their place in it. I highly recommend this wonderful, much-needed resource!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“With his characteristic clarity and depth, Stan Guthrie highlights God’s story from all of Scripture, serving a delectable feast of biblical truth. If you are hungry for God’s Word, look no further.”
History & Biography
“'To be deep in history,' said John Henry Newman, 'is to cease to be a Protestant.' But Ken Stewart begs to differ. In this learned and eminently readable volume, Stewart conducts a constructive assessment of the evangelical identity crisis currently facing the church. His informative and evocative reflection upon the ecclesial drama argues persuasively that instead of a wilting cousin of the 'Great Tradition,' evangelical movements are poised to flourish by extending their roots into the soil of pre-Reformation Christianity—that is, providing they do so with integrity. In Search of Ancient Roots provides such insight, enabling readers to give a clear answer for their evangelical hope.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Paul said, 'Be imitators of me as I am of Christ.' This volume not only examines important issues associated with the apostle's ministry; it offers readers the requisite vision for pursuing Christ's mission in the first place.”
Theology
“With St. Jerome, Catholics and Protestants agree that 'ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.' But in the face of divergent theological and methodological commitments, how can interpreters from these communities acquire a synoptic view? Kevin Storer's trenchant analysis of de Lubac and Vanhoozer escorts readers to the Catholic/Protestant intersection to discover the answer.”
Theology
“A clear articulation of one’s Reformed faith requires familiarity with the ideas and events in which that faith is rooted. Unfortunately, there are few books on the subject currently in print that are both learned and accessible. Thankfully, this volume offers an outstanding solution to this problem.”
Roman Catholic Theology and Practice
Theology
“With his characteristic depth and clarity, Gregg Allison escorts readers to the Catholic/Protestant intersection to analyze theological commonalities and differences. In addition to yielding indispensable insight, this volume exemplifies the sort of warmhearted and principled approach that today’s conversation desperately needs.”
Sex, Dating, and Relationships
Christian Living
“Christ-centered reflection on sex, dating, and relationships has been a long time coming; thankfully, it has finally arrived. This volume is a must-read for anyone doing ministry among humans.”
Theology
“What is the church? Ask your friends, and you’ll get a legion of answers. In the face of such confusion, Gregg Allison’s volume The Church provides a clear and concise explanation—one based on decades of thoughtful study and experience. Allison considers practices that are common to Christians and on which we differ. His book is a readable, illuminating, trustworthy guide to ecclesiology that will inform your mind and kindle your soul.”
Christian Living
“In his penetrating and pastorally attuned book, my friend David McDowell encourages us not to look at suffering as an intruder interrupting our entitled quest for security, success, and happiness. Instead, he reminds us of the wisdom—and goodness—of embracing inevitable affliction as a necessary part of God’s redemptive purposes for our lives. The Goodness of Affliction will fortify your faith when you need it most.”
Theology
“In recent years, we have seen significant numbers of erstwhile Protestants swimming the Tiber to become Roman Catholics. This trend has sparked all kinds of soul-searching among the heirs of the Reformation. What are we to make of this? Is our faith sturdy enough to withstand honest questioning? Are the bold claims of Rome true after all? In her new book, which is part autobiography and part historical theology, Beth Felker Jones provides a welcome apologia for Protestant belief.”
History & Biography
“Worshiping with the Reformers not only fills a lacuna in historical scholarship but also offers an indispensable resource for the church. Maag is an expert guide whose rich illustrations bring readers into the sanctuaries, chapels, homes, and public spaces of early modern life. This book helps us to understand the various contours of devotion—its motivations, suppressions, superstitions, prayers, visual arts, and ceremonies—demonstrating how various patterns of worship have become markers of Christian identity that endure to the present. Highly recommended!”
