Waiting for God, Justice, and Rush-Hour Traffic

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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
