Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is a book whose time has come. I've long appreciated Stephen Witmer's advocacy for ministry in the small places. And now we have an apologetic, a theological vision for this particular work. He makes the case for small places without patronizing them or denigrating ministry in other areas. I even appreciated his pushback to the urban thesis of the early church. That's what makes this book an important read, even if you could never imagine living in the places where Stephen and I grew up.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“At one point in A Non-Anxious Presence I couldn't stop underlining and marking up the copy with stars and exclamation points. Mark Sayers has given us a leadership book that we badly need for these complicated times. I'm planning to share it with the leaders I serve.”
Women
“This book reflects the wisdom and insight I've seen firsthand from Kendra. I'm praying it will help more women find their place, and their voice, for the sake of flourishing, faithful churches.”
Bonhoeffer on the Christian Life
Christian Living
“‘Human weakness paves the way for God’s grace.’ So writes Stephen Nichols, using Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a guide to the Christian life. But how could a man who stood up to Hitler be considered weak? That’s what makes Bonhoeffer so fascinating, and why he deserves your attention. Nichols helpfully brings Bonhoeffer’s Christ-centered insights to bear on issues where we need to grow in grace, such as confession, freedom, and love.”
History & Biography
“In all the writing about Bonhoeffer, few scholars focus on his work as a seminary leader. As a result, we forget that one of his most famous works, Life Together, emerged from such a community. Paul House dares to apply this and other Bonhoeffer works to the challenges facing contemporary seminaries. Even those who ultimately disagree with House’s argument for life-on-life education will benefit from reading his countercultural critique.”
Theology
“No man is an island. But it takes a bold writer to try to convince our hyperindividualistic age. Chris Brauns sketches out a recovery plan informed by God’s Word that will help us rebuild the relations so vital to human flourishing and so often forsaken today.”
History & Biography
“I don’t often hear people question these days whether or not Christianity is true. I hear them ask whether or not it’s good. And that’s the challenge John Dickson accepts in Bullies and Saints. His honest look does not dismiss the horrible evil committed in the name of Christ, then and now. And that’s why you can trust this book. When we can be honest about the past, we can be discerning about the present. Whether or not you believe in Jesus, this book will test what you thought you knew and open your eyes to what might be possible.”
Charlie and the Preschool Prodigal
Children & Youth
“One of the great challenges of Bible teaching is making the stories feel as fresh and convicting as they did in Jesus’s day. That’s all the more difficult when children lack the historical background of the biblical world. Ginger Blomberg brings perhaps Jesus’s most famous parable into our world where children can begin to grasp the revolutionary implications of grace.”
Christian Living
“Just about every day, I wake up and read Erik Raymond’s insights on pastoral ministry, discipleship, and everyday living as a Christian. He always challenges me to love Jesus as I trust in the sufficiency of his work on the cross. As someone who struggles with contentment, I need his wise counsel to walk with Christ in freedom and joy.”
Christian Living
“Vermon Pierre is a church leader I've long admired. I've seen him handle tough issues with wisdom and charity. He continues to teach me in this book, which I hope will help Christians love one another as we've been so wonderfully loved first by God.”
Children & Youth
“What a joy to read this book to my family! I love the way Scott James teaches kids they can talk to God. The beautiful illustrations accompany a memorable, lyrical rhythm that encourages children to seek the Lord in every circumstance.”
Disciplines of a Godly Young Man
Christian Living
“Discipline is not a popular word these days. But disciplined Christians are growing Christians. So if you know a young man who wants to grow up in the faith, do him a big favor and buy him this book.”
Christian Living
“In Don’t Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams challenges us to break the self-worship commandments that promise freedom but deliver captivity. I appreciate the bold urgency of this call. Following the herd is leading our generation off a cliff. Maybe a little heresy can do us a lot of good.”
Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Here in Birmingham, Alabama, I often teach about the civil rights movement as the most effective faith-based movement for social change in American history. Justin Giboney honors such heroes as Fred Shuttlesworth and commends their example for today in this informative, provocative book.”
Christian Living
“This message changed my generation. I hope it will change the next ones too. We never grow out of the need to be reminded that God demands our souls, our lives, our all.”
Christian Living
“We may live in a world gone mad, but that’s not a new development. So long as you and I or our ancestors have walked this earth, sin has followed close behind. We need wisdom and grace to walk by faith among the faithless. You’ll love how Mike Cosper retells the timeless story of Esther with details and perspectives you hadn’t before considered. We need this book’s vision of courageous faith in the face of assimilation.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“No two single parents share the same circumstances. But they share many of the same needs from their brothers and sisters in Christ in the church. Anna Meade Harris offers gospel-centered perspective that will not only encourage her fellow single parents but also equip the rest of us to love them well. This book is full of godly counsel and hard-earned, practical wisdom.”
Christian Living
“How to Find Yourself gives readers a roadmap to the stories that compete for our affections. And Brian Rosner reveals the gospel as the compass that shows the way home. If you want to understand this cultural moment, pay close attention to this book.”
Christian Living
“I’ve been reading Kevin DeYoung since we were both young and restless. Over countless articles and books, he’s helped me mature in my view of the world and understanding of God’s word. Impossible Christianity challenged some of my assumptions and corrected some of my misconceptions. I know it can help you enjoy the pleasure of God in a quiet and dignified life.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I've long admired the breadth of knowledge on display in Jake Meador's writing. You'll see his characteristic combination of deep learning with an earthy touch in this wide-ranging book. You won't need to agree with every conclusion in order to appreciate how he makes you think and act more deliberately. We need more writers like him to help us live as faithful Christians in a fractured world.”
