Companions in Suffering

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Few things are more isolating for a person than suffering, and that isolation only compounds the pain that suffering brings upon a person. Wendy Alsup understands this pain well and has given us all a gift in the midst of her suffering. Through her own narrative, the stories of others, and the testimony of Scripture, Wendy reminds us that we truly are never alone in our suffering. This book is a gift for anyone who is stuck in a deep valley, because Wendy understands that the valley doesn't always have an exit point. And instead of showing us the path out, she gives us the Christ within—the same Christ who has met her in her dark valley. Wendy has been a gift to me personally for a while now, and I am excited for others to experience that same comfort through her words.”

Cultural Counterfeits

Christian Living

“Women are confronted with all sorts of ideas in today’s culture. It’s hard to know what is true and what truth is to be believed. Jen Oshman unpacks the most common ideas women face with care, research, and a more beautiful vision of God’s plan for us. Jen has years of experience as a ministry worker of the gospel, as a student of the word, and as a mom of daughters. As a mom of sons and as someone who ministers to women, I’m thankful for her work! This is a book I plan to give to the women I minister to, and I hope you will do the same.”

Disciplines of a Godly Woman

Christian Living

“The word ‘discipline’ often carries with it notions of rigidity and structure. Thankfully, Barbara Hughes is not here to give a heavy-handed list of rules and regulations for the woman who simply cannot find time to do any more than she already does. In this helpful, classic book Barbara walks us through the right kind of discipline, one that serves eternal purposes. She shows us that the way towards godliness is not through our own efforts, but the efforts of Another—our Christ.”

Friendship with the Friend of Sinners

Christian Living

“Friendship is tricky to define in a digital age—but what about friendship with Jesus? How do we define a relationship with a person we cannot see? Jared C. Wilson has given us a beautiful picture of friendship with our Savior, one that is neither too familiar nor too far off. Christ’s friendship with us is vast and comforting, and this book is a balm to anyone longing to see friendship in its truest form.”

Fruitful

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Everyone wants to be a better person. But how do we grow? Fruitful is an accessible and helpful walk through the fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that self-help won’t save us or grow us. Through rooting us in Scripture, guided prayers, reflection questions, and even fun recipes, we see that the slow plod of abiding in the vine is the path toward fruitful living.”

In Church as It Is in Heaven

Church Leadership & Ministry

“People often talk about how divided our churches are when it comes to race and ethnicity, but few local church ministers know where to begin to make practical changes. This is why I'm so thankful for In Church as It Is in Heaven. Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones speak not only from their theological training but their pastoral experience as well. They have lived it together, and we benefit from their wisdom.”

Parenting with Words of Grace

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Who doesn’t want to invite their children into a healthy, vibrant relationship? I know I do. Bill Smith gives a compelling vision for how our words and conversations shape our parenting and how, through our words, we are vehicles through which our children see God. I read this book and wanted to go talk to my kids. You will too.”

Polly and the Screen Time Overload

Children & Youth

“Trying to help kids understand the need for self-control regarding screens is hard. That's why I'm thankful for this new resource that provides a conversation starter with my kids in the form of an engaging story. This book is for any parent looking for a way to limit screens and also teach your children why you're taking the iPad away!”

Redeeming Money

Christian Living

“In typical Paul Tripp fashion, he convicts me of things I didn’t even know existed in my heart. This book is for the ones who have problems with money and the ones who think they don’t—because as you will see, our money problems aren’t just budgeting problems. In these pages, you will have your heart exposed and then be taken to the Savior who provides the grace we so desperately need.”

Seasons of Waiting

Christian Living

“Betsy Childs Howard provides us with a much-needed message to strengthen us in every type of waiting. She transforms our understanding from the belief that we are not getting what we deserve, to hoping in the better life to come that awaits us in Christ. She removes the isolation we feel in our waiting and helps us see that we are all waiting for something in this life, but more importantly, we are all waiting for the return of King Jesus.”

The Stories of Women

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I’ve benefited from Colleen’s wisdom, teaching, and partnership in ministry for a number of years. She is a gifted Bible teacher who uses her skills to invite others into biblical literacy. In the Meet Me in the Bible series, she provides what few studies do—an opportunity for women to gather for both in-person teaching and discussion. You will be equipped to not only study for yourself but also cultivate teaching gifts in the lives of the women in your church. I can’t wait to recommend this to my ministry friends.”

Turn Your Eyes

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“There’s a reason God’s people run to the Psalms in distress. In these songs, we find language for the many things we experience in life. But studying them can be a challenge because they don’t follow a linear pattern. In Turn Your Eyes, Winfree Brisley and Sharonda Cooper give a framework for studying the Psalms thematically and practically. I’ve long wanted a study on the Psalms to give to friends. This is it! If you want to read the Psalms with fresh eyes, this study is for you—and your friends.”

Walking through Infertility

Christian Living

“Walking through Infertility is a resource I wish had been available when we walked through our own struggles with infertility. In an age of increasing medical advancement, the options for couples are numerous and often overwhelming. Matthew Arbo has provided a helpful resource for couples as they consider what the Bible has to say about infertility and how God’s Word speaks to the various treatments out there. But Arbo also speaks to church leaders, who are often left wondering how to counsel those under their care. This is a needed book and I’m glad it’s finally here.”
