1 & 2 Peter and Jude

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a day where there is more confusion and less understanding of the Bible, the Everyday Bible Study Series is like you have a scholar in your pocket able to pull out and give us very practical understanding in everyday non-technical but super insightful. I am using these in every study I am doing for our church now and can't express how much I appreciate Scot's lifetime of wisdom he gives us in this series.”

A Lifelong Love (Updated & Revised)

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“When Gary Thomas writes anything, I pay attention. When he writes about relationships or family, I pay more attention. When he writes about marriage, I pay attention in the fullest way possible. He has a rare gift to take what we may think we know, and turn it inside out for a fresh reexamination using Scripture. Marriage is the most important relationship we have apart from the one we have with God. I am thankful for Gary’s passion and commitment to help us experience growth, no matter if we’re newly married or married many years. This is yet another Gary Thomas book I will recommend and use both personally and as a pastor in our church.”

An Emergent Theology for Emerging Churches

Theology

“The most important questions about the emerging church are not what the worship gatherings look like, what the music is like or whether the name of the church is different and cool. The most important questions are what the theology is behind what is happening in and among emerging churches. Ray has written a wonderful book which does exactly this.”

Analog Christian

Christian Living

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Analog Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Just as loving parents thoughtfully research the usage of technology and the impact it has on their children, church leaders must do the same for those Jesus entrusts us with. Too often we jump on the latest trends and whatever seems most attractive on the surface, without much thoughtful discernment. Analog Church is a wake-up call and asks us some tough, much-needed questions—whether our rush into the use of whatever new technology is available is helping or hurting people's understanding of God, worship, church, and themselves. In a digitally saturated world, where new generations are bombarded and immersed in the digital, we need to press into analog all the more. Analog Church shows us how.”

Breaking Old Rhythms

Christian Living

Foreword

“Amena fuses God?s truth with the reality of the rhythms of life. . . . [She] challenges us to not settle for less than the beauty of what God creates us each to be.”

Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“We cannot ignore the topic of multi-ethnic churches as we live in a multi-ethnic world. Mark DeYmaz writes with practical insight, not from theory but from leading an extremely strategic multi-ethnic church that is paving the way for so many others.”

Confessions of a Reformission Rev.

Church Leadership & Ministry

“For some, this book will inspire and energize you to keep going as a church on a mission for Jesus. For others, it may rekindle the sense of passion and mission you lost years ago. For others, it may awaken you to the realization that you have only been going through the motions of church and never really experienced the joy of serving Jesus as a missional church. Whatever the case, after reading this book, you will never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission.”

Demons and Spirits in Biblical Theology

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a timely and critically needed resource that I really hope church leaders—and as many people as possible—will read. We need to have a correct understanding of the nature and schemes of evil today more than ever.”

Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Jackie Hill Perry, Bible teacher and author of Gay Girl, Good God “If we care about people, then we must be thinking critically, theologically, and extremely lovingly about the issues of sexuality today. How do we know what is true or not? As emotional human beings, we are easily swayed by watching enough ninety-second convincing TikTok videos which may or may not be true. In this book we have a guide to sorting through and looking at big questions based on very important and trustworthy Bible study methods and a premise that all the Scriptures are all inspired by God. But not only do we have the theology and depth behind the answers given, we also have pastoral, sensitive, kind, and caring responses. I am extremely grateful for this book.”

God Behaving Badly

Apologetics

“This is a book which not only should be read by those into apologetics but read by all Christians in our churches. It is striking right at the heart of one of the most pressing questions being asked today, and we cannot ignore this. God Behaving Badly is an extremely helpful book in wrestling with these very difficult questions in a winsome, biblical and readable way. If you are at all missionally living in our culture and aware of the questions being asked and challenges to Christianity, then you really cannot help but read this book!”

God's Crime Scene Participant's Guide

Evangelism & Missions

“Serving as a pastor in a local church with youth and college-aged Christians for over 20 years, one of the main questions I get is about our origins and creation. I've always had a dilemma in sending someone to a resource to answer these questions. Not that there aren't great books out there, but I find they are either (1) far too technical or philosophical, (2) too simplistic in their answers, or (3) unintentionally demeaning to non-believers who are still searching. In God's Crime Scene, J. Warner Wallace addresses the frequently asked questions about origins and does so in a way that communicates to thinking college-students, Christians, and non-Christians alike. I am very thankful for this book as it is unlike most others. I am thrilled to think of the impact it will have on all those reading it.”

Grace Beyond Salvation

Christian Living

“Oh, how we desperately need to understand grace and how it changes literally everything when we do! I am overjoyed in my heart thinking of how many people reading Grace Beyond Salvation will be freed from untrue guilt, shame, and false perspectives of ourselves and of God. Kyle DiRoberts uses Scripture and truth to breathe back grace, grace, grace to rejuvenate us into remembering how much we are loved and valued by God.”

He Speaks in the Silence

Christian Living

“If you have ever wondered (as most of us do) … Does God see me? Does he want to talk to me? Is it possible for me to hear him speak? Diane’s story, compellingly and beautifully told, gets to the nitty gritty reality of what it means to know God deeply and intimately in all the silence and the noise of life’s good days, hard days, and every days.”

I Am a Follower

Christian Living

“What an incredible and sweet relief to read what it means to follow as lead is brought back to its Jesus-roots. Leadership is critical, but how easy and subtle it is to slip away from what Jesus taught and modeled and slip into the latest pragmatic techniques that may even contradict some of Jesus’ example and teaching. We may have great and pure motives in how we lead, but woe to us if we drift away from Jesus-like followership.”

Introverts in the Church

Christian Living

“As a fellow introvert, I well know the tension, irony and even contradiction of being in vocational ministry where public speaking and being with people are major and vital parts of our roles. This book puts together extremely helpful thinking to better understand who we are and how to navigate and celebrate being introverted and in leadership in an extroverted world.”

Invisible Jesus

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The local church plays an essential role in the lives of Christ followers for healthy growth and for their mission. Invisible Jesus raises some uncomfortable but valuable questions about whether we are contributing to the reasons some leave the church or are helping them stay and flourish in the church. We will read that the answers are not changing any historical core Christian beliefs, but they may lead us to change our thinking about how to live out these truths for the sake of future generations and the church.”

Love All Our Neighbors

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Love All Our Neighbors has a very rare powerful combo when talking about this critically sensitive and uber-important topic. First, Tony Scarcello shares his firsthand experience, showing this isn't theoretical talk but from one who understands what he is writing about. Second, we see a solid grounding in the historical doctrines of the Christian faith and ethics without compromise to the culture. It is crystal clear the answer is not rethinking Scripture to compromise truth as many have done. Third, it is a book of heart, compassion, and love and not angry, pointing fingers, creating a battle with the goal of redemption, reconciliation, restoration, and the gospel changing lives.”

Loveology

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“loveology” at the beginning of our relationship, and it changed our entire view on love and dating. It exposed and shattered all the “Hollywood movie” lies that were embedded in our minds and replaced them with God’s original design. Following the Loveology principles gave our relationship a sense of direction, saved us from making a lot of painful mistakes many couples make, and answered a ton of questions. Naomi and Isaiah, 22 and 24, married for seven months Love is at the forefront of the experience of what it means to be human. We can choose to try to figure it out on our own, or we can choose to see how the designer of love intended us to experience all this. Loveology guides us straight into the heart of God, who created this wondrous, powerful experience of love, romance, sex, marriage, masculinity, and femininity.”
