Testament of Virtue

Christian Living

“Thoughtful, mature, assured, this deeply biblical account of human virtue is a sheer gift. Timmerman writes with authority and verve, summoning us to the power and beauty of a virtuous life.”

The God We Worship

Preaching & Worship

“Nicholas Wolterstorff writes on Christian worship with enormous expertise. . . . This book is a flood of light. It has all the Wolterstorff marks, including brilliant clarity and powerful illumination of his subject.”

The Gospel in a Handshake

Preaching & Worship

“Kevin Adams writes with great richness, passion, and verve. Above all, he writes with enormous Christian wisdom. Every Christian worshiper should read this book.”

The Mystery of Faith

Apologetics

“Travis Jamieson writes with simplicity and depth—a potent combination. Centering his book where the Bible does, Jamieson presents a compelling account of Jesus Christ in a story that is forever old and forever new. You would have to be numb not to be moved by it.”

The Pastor’s Bookshelf

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Austin Carty writes with great conviction on a truly significant topic: the need for pastors to be avid readers. He also writes with clarity, consistency, and grace. The church needs this vital book.”

The Riddle of Grace

Christian Living

“The Riddle of Grace is literate, lively, and — perhaps above all — lovely. Scott Hoezee has written a book that shines with the light of God's beauty and care, a light that cleanses, attracts, and heals. This deft and candid work manages simultaneously to inform and bless. Bravo!”

The Way to Heaven

History & Biography

“Yudha Thianto writes with great clarity and verve. This study is mature, revealing, and deft. Bravo!”

This Incredibly Benevolent Force

Theology

“Van der Kooi has written a masterful treatment of the Holy Spirit. Everything in it is fresh, revealing, mature. This will be a theological standard for years.”

Waiting for God, Justice, and Rush-Hour Traffic

Christian Living

“Okholm, as usual, has written a book rich with spiritual nourishment. Patience—understood either as dwelling easily in the present or else as the ability to absorb irritants without being paralyzed by them—is presented in this volume with great brio.”

What Does it Mean to Be Saved?

Theology

“A dozen first-class essayists show us ‘how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,’ and they do so to wonderful effect. Here, at last, salvation is much bigger than we are.”

What's in a Phrase?

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“McEntyre has again written with conspicuous grace and truth. She sees deeply into the Christian life. She writes simply and nobly, but with an enormous weight of discernment and suggestion. Some passages here are as powerful and lovely as any I've encountered in years.”

Where All Hope Lies

Preaching & Worship

“The sermons in this volume represent the work of a young preacher who understood and accepted the urgency of rendering God real to listeners. In these honest, gritty, sometimes desperately deep sermons, we find a faith beyond doubt, but not beyond question. Jim Van Tholen. preached the gospel as a human being, complete with its puzzles, questions, and pain. That's a good deal of what made Jim a believable preacher.. He showed us the turns and twists in a serious Christian life. He showed us that God is great in large part because God is god.. Whatever path Jim followed in his sermons, he preached the Word of God in all its tragedy and victory.”

Why I Still Believe the Gospel

Apologetics

“A relentlessly focused reflection on the gospel's cry of the heart: 'He has risen!' This small and mighty book will straighten the spine of believers.”

With Uplifted Head

Preaching & Worship

“Combining a deep reading of Scripture, intelligent reflection, and a wide-ranging wisdom, Machiela's work is a gift to the church and her ministers.”

Within My Heart

Philosophy

“Tracing the roots of Anglo-American evangelicalism to--of all things--the Enlightenment, Van Horn deftly shows us how so many modern Christians came to love the religion of the heart, both in its thoughtful and in its vacuous forms. Fascinating! And wonderfully articulate.”

Word by Word

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“McEntyre has again written with conspicuous grace and truth. She sees deeply into the Christian life. She writes simply and nobly, but with an enormous weight of discernment and suggestion. Some passages here are as powerful and lovely as any I’ve encountered in years.”

Word Made Fresh

Arts & Literature

“This is a book to savor. With total understanding of our wariness, Van Engen graciously ushers us into the world of poetry and makes us feel at home there. Like the tone of a concert cellist, his writing has both core and sheen: it’s perfectly clear and it’s also wonderfully evocative. This book is a sheer pleasure.”
