Apologetics
“N.T. Wright is uniquely qualified to convey the enduring substance of Christian life and thought to contemporary people.”
Christian Living
“Singleness of Heart is an experientially deep yet sophisticated treatment of the dynamics that constantly hinder a simple and straightforward doing of the good for God's sake. This book will help those who seek liberation to find God's provision for a life of integrity in Christ.”
Spiritual Formation as if the Church Mattered
Christian Living
Foreword
“Wilhoit has written a book of special urgency for our times. In it he addresses the central problem facing the contemporary church in the Western world and worldwide, the problem of how to routinely lead its members through a path of spiritual, moral, and personal transformation that brings them into authentic Christlikeness in every aspect of their lives. . . . He helps any serious person engage the project from where they are, discover what really works for Christlikeness and what doesn’t, and assess outcomes realistically to make needed adjustments as they go.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Strength in Weakness makes it clear that what God gives to the weak really is strength and not weakness. We are enabled to be 'strong in the Lord and in the power of his might,' as Paul said. And we can learn to negotiate the intricacies of fantasy, feeling and context in such a way that we do walk in holiness and power wherever we are. These are universal lessons of the way of Christ, no matter what one's personal history may be.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Jan Johnson opens a path on which anyone can actually and continuously grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.”

Theology
“The Good Works Reader is a gold mine of instruction and inspiration for those who would love their neighbors as themselves. Out of his profound wisdom and scholarship, Tom Oden brings to us the teachings and practices of the great teachers of the Church during the period of its greatest power. They speak with clarity and force into our age of confusion where, beneath the turmoil and surface sophistication, the needs are exactly the same and the resources of Christ to and through his people never vary.”
Theology
“This book is especially helpful in making the activity of the Holy Spirit in our lives clear and accessible to the individual. I highly recommend it for those who want to make 'prophetic speech and action in Christian witness' something they actually work with and count on.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Profound scholarship and spiritual wisdom. . . Soak yourself in The Jesus Way.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“What makes this book especially valuable among writings on leadership is its richness of detail concerning the fine texture of the leader's life and personality. The weight the leader must bear, in order to carry through with the calling upon his or her life, simply crushes the person who is not, throughout their being, solidly joined with what is good and with God's grace upon all of it. So joined, in ways the author makes clear, there is joy and love, space and creativity, no matter what.”
History & Biography
“This is a unique and invaluable presentation of the way God makes his pastors. It helps one see how to surrender to the utterly unpredictable course of events through which one gains the spiritual substance that enables one to be a pastor—not just in title or position, but in real effects on people. By managing to be where he was Eugene Peterson became, under divine care, a pastor without boundaries. In his life he presents an entirely different (and desperately needed) model of what it is to be a success as a pastor. The book is packed with stories of blazing grace unobscured by holy moly. Just unadorned life under God. If you are hoping to be a pastor, or just to understand what that is, get this book and soak in it for at least three full days with no distraction. It may save your life and make you a blessing.”
The Secrets of Intercessory Prayer
World Religions
“Jack Hayford locates effectual prayer at the center of Kingdom living, which is also in the midst of the cosmic battle between good and evil. Everyone lives in that battle, whether they know it or not, and most of what really matters occurs in the fine texture of our lives with those closest to us. To be able to work with God in prayer for the good of those we love is a great gift of grace, but we must act with understanding to secure it. Pastor Hayford places the human heart under the microscope of Scripture to reveal the inner dynamics of a life that pulls those closest to us into the loving sway of God’s actions. What Pastor Hayford leads us into is healthy, strong, effectual and theologically deep. If you would like to see dear ones moved toward God, he tells you how. If a wide range of self-identified Christians studied and followed this book, the churches and the moral and spiritual climate of our world would change radically. My best advice is to read it and put it into practice.”
Fiction
“For decades The Singer has done the one thing most necessary: to make Jesus himself accessible and attractive in ways that stick in the mind and soul, so that he can do his work of renewing the life of God in the individual. Calvin Miller's great gift is to sing Jesus powerfully, to the blessing of our generation and those to come.”
Apologetics
“As you read this book, look to the evidence and breathe the fresh intellectual air that nourishes genuinely opened minds.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Luther prayed the Apostles' Creed, along with the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer. The importance of life-giving words in shaping and empowering the Christian's faith is sadly neglected or unknown today. Belief (faith) is not passive, but a condition which we must act to sustain as an active principle in our life. Anyone who will simply do what Steve Robbins says in Transforming Beliefs will experience the reality which the Apostles' Creed uniquely expresses. They will come to live in the world which they profess as followers of Jesus.”
Apologetics
“Guinness’s incisive analyses gives us hope of being able to deal with evil. A great accomplishment!”
