Foundations for Soul Care

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Eric Johnson is resolutely fair-minded. He treats others as friends, with charity and respect. He seeks accurate understanding and takes no shortcuts. He takes others seriously, even when he disagrees. He earnestly pursues both truth and helpfulness. In other words, both in person and in print, he is after wisdom ('nothing else you could desire compares'). I count his friendship one of life's pleasures. Eric makes criticism easy to hear and makes vigorous argument in the pursuit of wisdom a delight!”

Pursuing Peace

Christian Living

“Interpersonal conflict is a misery maker, stirring up chaos and the fog of war. Robert Jones carefully walks down the narrow road that makes peace and stirs up joy. His presentation is judicious, wide-ranging, balanced, biblical, and full of grace. Every counselor needs to know these things. Every struggler willing to take the time will benefit—and we are all strugglers in these matters. Speed-reading not allowed! Pursuing Peace needs to be slowly absorbed and would make a marvelous twelve-week study.”

Singing with Emmanuel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book about the Psalms will help them sing even more deeply in your heart. It shows you how Psalms give voice to Jesus’ own experience. The image of Jesus Christ actually lives, thinks, feels, and speaks. And it is this very image that he wishes to form in us.”

Taking God At His Word

Christian Living

“The longer I do ministry, the more I appreciate a truly simple book—a book that rightly orients me to reality; a book that says important things in accessible words; a book worth taking to heart; a book written to care for the reader’s soul; a book that helps to change how you live. Taking God At His Word is simple. It will help you know what you believe and why. It clarifies the foundation for all practical ministry. Because the Bible is God’s own saving Word, you have something helpful to share with others who hurt, who struggle, who stray, who find life confusing.”

The Peacemaking Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Human conflict is a given in families, marriages, churches, small groups, and the world. Peacemaking is not in the Beatitudes because Jesus is just putting in filler. Peacemaking is core to being a Christian. So what Alfred Poirier offers is not simply another task in an impossible list of tasks. He’s giving to the pastor some of the very tools that will inform every other part of ministry—preaching and teaching, small group leader training, the church budget—in helping pastors to become truly the peacemakers who are blessed.”
