A Just Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Reading this powerful book reminded me that the forces upholding the existing missions model in America are strong and rooted in ideology, economics, and histories that are hundreds of years old. Mekdes Haddis gives us the gift of a rich resource to form our repentance and changed behavior as we work together to build a just mission.”

Not From Around Here

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“It is hard to escape the constant inundation of noise that reminds us of our distances from each other, which made Not from Around Here a truly delightful read. This is an enjoyable and convicting book that stirred a longing for more exploration around what is common in the midst of our diverse histories and backgrounds.”

The Drama of Discipleship

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Western spirituality often takes an individualistic approach to discipleship, but this book presents a holistic perspective of discipleship with an emphasis on forming communities who live out the biblical story in all domains of life. This is a book I want to read with our entire church family, as I believe the application of this book will allow us to more faithfully love our neighbors and each other.”

Unexpected Jesus

Christian Living

“I look forward to reading this book with people who don’t know Christ, new Christians, and mature Christians in order to have important conversations about Christ’s powerful and healing presence in our lives.”

When Narcissism Comes to Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“For far too long the evangelical church in America has nurtured and supported narcissism in our leadership. The addiction to platforms, influence, new ideas, as well as unbiblical definitions of leadership, authority, and power has sustained a structure that dehumanizes our leaders and exploits God's people. When Narcissism Comes to Church is an important book in a season when we must ask deeper questions of the very structure, metrics, motivations, and means to the work we set out to do in the name of Christ. Dr. DeGroat does not merely point a finger at narcissistic leaders, but asks us to consider these individuals in our church as fruit of a more fundamental problem in the American church. May we have ears to hear, humility to repent, and courage to respond.”
