Fiction
“"This is a terrific story. The plot is riveting, and its unlikely heroes are people you care about. Woven throughout is a meditation on the nature of the conflict between good and evil, the meaning of faith, and the importance of the choices we all must make. To read it is to grow.”
Blackfire: The Girl with the Diamond Key
Fiction
“With the conclusion of the Blackfire trilogy, James Eckblad has broken new ground in the world of fantasy literature. His universe is full of exotic and magical creatures, the plot is set against a background of metaphysical seriousness about the conflict between good and evil, and above all, his central characters display the heroism of the ordinary. They are truly differently abled, and in their case, “differently abled” is the simple truth. They find their power as they work together in compensating for each other’s difficulties. Read it for the story, read it for the philosophy, but above all, read it to recover your faith in the strength and goodness of human beings.”
Christian Living
“In God’s Scoundrels and Misfits, biblical characters familiar to many of us are used to examine and teach the importance of character and the choices we make. . . . Ministers preparing sermons will get a rich trove of ideas to tell stories of faith from the pulpit.”
Arts & Literature
“As a male, husband, father, minister, and limited human being, I was touched by this volume of poetry. . . . He made me laugh, feel my tears, and be inspired. Whether I was revisiting my training in a state hospital mental ward, viewing the vista from a mountaintop, or being reminded of my limited ability to keep everyone safe, I connected with the experiences Jones puts to paper. . . . I was swept away by the images and savored each delicious offering.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“While managing to avoid the empty promises that come with quick-fix solutions, Ruth here provides a path and a pattern to realistically enter into and experience the kind of community that can facilitate authentic transformation—a vision of spiritual community that stirs in me great hope. In typical Ruth Haley Barton fashion, she moves quickly beyond that which is superficial, speaking with clarity, credibility and practicality to an issue that has become for many an illusive dream. This book needed to be written, and Ruth was just the person to do it. I highly recommend it!”
Pastoral Ministry in the Real World
Church Leadership & Ministry
“As a seminary professor I found it frustrating to find a suitable textbook for my Pastoral Ministry class since there is a real dearth of resources in this area. I am glad to see a book written from an experienced pastor who speaks practically and biblically to this subject. I believe it will be helpful to students who are new to pastoral ministry as well as those who have served for years as pastors. I highly recommend Dr. Wilson’s book!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This book is a breath of fresh air that brings with it the aroma of hope—hope that maybe, just maybe, there's a different way to do this thing we call church. But more than just a different way, Mike and Kent began with a different desire—a desire to be part of a community of faith that was characterized by something beyond success, a community that would actually begin to resemble the character and fragrance of Christ. Their journey toward fulfilling that desire has been a long and difficult one—costly too! But if you're like me, you'll find it full . . . of hope.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Dr. Yost has done an admirable service in writing this much-needed resource. It provides a very good, broad basis for building one’s own theological and practical library. It also serves as a ready tool for quickly finding books suggested on any given category included therein, either for one’s own use or for answering others who ask for help on a given subject.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“A must-have book for local pastors, CPE supervisors and students, and all who have the potential to find themselves 'stuck.' Menking uses Friedman's creative work as a platform to launch out into the world of pastoral care and leadership where so many do find themselves stuck and the result is burnout. His use of stories from his practice, biblical tradition, and theological heritage serve to push one to look deeper into oneself.”
