“Our world is increasingly polarized, even among the followers of Jesus. Rich Nathan and Insoo Kim, using Scripture and illustrations from their own life and leadership, patiently explain a way forward through the tensions for believers who must live in this world. Read it a chapter at a time and reflect how your life and leadership can be more true to God's desires.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I've just finished reading my friend Steve Macchia's new book, Broken and Whole. It combines Steve's long experience with leaders and organizations, wise practices, Scripture, and very practical applications for every leader. Don't miss the chapter on rudeness, a neglected teaching in many contexts. And pay attention to all the end of chapter application areas—this is where you will grow the most and redeem the investment in this new work.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“We don’t need bigger crowds. We need an army of leaders to change the world. Michael Fletcher’s new work explains clearly how Manna Church has developed the culture and systems to not only deploy leaders in their church, but also to be sent as an army to change the world. Empowering Leadership is filled not just with principles but very workable practices based on experience.”
How to Be Present in an Absent World
Christian Living
“How to Be Present in an Absent World is unique for being so well-written. It keeps you engaged and turning pages as it drives you to redeem the absence in your life and to become fully present and engaged. People need committed companions present with them in all parts of life: friendships, families, workplaces, and churches. How to Be Present in an Absent World is ultimately about those relationships. It journeys with you to find your time, place, and space in the world. It encourages you to collaborate with others in identifying and living out the story God is writing for you according to his purposes.”

“I have been reading Len Sweet’s wonderful books for almost twenty years, and they never fail to encourage, nourish, and strengthen my heart and mind for God and for those I lead. Join the journey with fellow wayfarers as Len plants in us an intriguing view of followership for this new season of ministry.”
Leading a Church in a Time of Sexual Questioning
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Dr. Miller does a great job handling the relevant biblical texts but also interacting with research, sharing stories of those wrestling with all the related issues, and describing productive ways of having meaningful discussions, even with those who may disagree on the myriad issues to address. I commend it highly to pastors and leaders to help them address LGBT+ issues both with their words and with their lives in the coming years.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“All the young leaders I engage want Osborne as their mentor. Sticky Teams contains the best thinking about practical church leadership that you will find today.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Stress. We all have it. The question is: How should we deal with it? Charles writes from the perspective of science-backed research plus deeply devotional 'habitudes' to help us deal with and redeem it. That sounds bold, but after a lifetime as a pastor and a PhD dissertation reviewing over five hundred studies on stress, Charles has something interesting and helpful to say in Stress Less. Start your Stress Resilience Growth Plan by reading this book and downloading the tools for your life. This will help you spiritually, physically, emotionally, and, of course, with your stress.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The Big Idea is huge. Big impact. Big insights. Big tools. Big practical learnings. Th e way forward for growing churches to drive home God’s truth into all of their attenders each week to grow them stronger in the faith. It’s big, fresh, and told in a winsome way by one of America’s great young leaders, Dave Ferguson. I always learn when I hang around Dave and the team at Community Christian. I encourage you to do the same through The Big Idea.”

“Whenever I get to talk to Geoff and Sherry Surratt, coauthors of Together, I smile, laugh, and go away encouraged. The same thing happened when I read this book. It’s not only practical but laugh-out-loud funny. I don’t care if you are in ministry with your spouse or not, reward yourself by reading reading this new work about real, live ministry and how to thrive in all the ups and downs.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
