Becoming Homeschoolers

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Like a lot of families, we were thrust into homeschooling during the pandemic. We’re still grateful we made that decision, but can I be honest? We weren’t ready. I wish we would have had this excellent book to guide us. It’s a gold mine of wisdom that will equip you to homeschool at every stage.”

Blessed Are the Unsatisfied

Christian Living

“The first emotion I had reading Blessed Are the Unsatisfied was sheer relief. Raised in the church, I've heard a thousand glib assurances that anyone who trusts Jesus for salvation will be completely satisfied—and I've despaired a thousand times as I've felt that satisfaction elude me. How freeing to hear that being unsatisfied doesn't mean I'm a defective Christian! The second emotion I felt was hope. Simpson gave me permission to stay hungry for ultimate satisfaction while providing strategies for pursuing the abundant life of which Jesus spoke.”

God's Story in 66 Verses

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“We face an epidemic of biblical illiteracy in our culture. Most Americans—especially those in the younger generation—have scant engagement with Scripture. And getting them to read the Bible is no easy task. It’s a big book! For a generation that doesn’t know Paul from Potiphar, it can be daunting just to crack the cover. That’s why I’m excited about God’s Story in 66 Verses. Guthrie has created a brilliant way to introduce readers to the broad themes of Scripture. With crisp prose and a disarming tone, Guthrie distills the biblical witness while showing how all of Scripture points to Christ. I pray many people will read this important book and come to know the Scriptures and the God whom they reveal.”

Heroes and Monsters

World Religions

“Heroes and Monsters is a beautiful book—and an ugly one. Beautiful because it’s so honest, and ugly for precisely the same reason. Josh tells his life story with lively prose that explores the paradox of human splendor and wretchedness while dangling hints of redemption. As you read, don’t be surprised to find your story in his story, and the divine companion who interrupts his life—the same one who has broken into yours. For Josh, the road traveled with God is twisting, bumpy, potholed . . . and well worth the ride.”

Jesus Loves Me

Christian Living

“This generation isn’t simply asking, ‘Is Christianity true?’ They want to know, ‘Is Christianity good? Does the faith actually promote human rights, alleviate suffering, and enable humanity to flourish?’ In Jesus Skeptic, John Dickerson provides a compelling answer to these pressing questions. He leads readers on a lively tour through the ancient world, demonstrating Christianity’s positive impact at key moments in history. This book is a remarkable accomplishment. It is sweeping in scope yet deeply personal. Dickerson, a reporter and pastor, reveals Christianity’s impact on history—then zooms in to explore what Christ means for each person. The evidence Dickerson offers will enlighten believers and non-believers alike. In the introduction, he writes that skeptics ‘are safe here.’ That’s true—but their skepticism is definitely in danger.”

LifeCrafting

Christian Living

“Most books are either interesting or helpful—but not both. LifeCrafting is a clear exception to the rule. Bradley Wright uses his decades of experience as a sociologist to unpack the science of behavior change is an accessible and engaging way. The result is a practical guide on how to implement change that exploits cutting-edge research while helping people avoid the many invisible obstacles they will encounter along the way. This is the rare book that can actually transform your life.”

Murder-Bears, Moonshine, and Mayhem

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As I was reading this book, my eight-year-old wandered into my office and started reading over my shoulder. ‘He’s very connected to poop,’ he commented. It was an accurate observation. But there was more than just poop. Or butts. Or man-eating bears. Or circumcision jokes. Beneath the edgy hilarity I saw a real affection for the Good Book and the God who inspired it. Harrington just better hope that God has a sense of humor—or those bears might be coming for him.”

Paul Behaving Badly

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Paul spent much of his ministry under attack. Nearly two thousand years later, the arrows are still flying. Patriarchal, racist, braggadocious, mercurial, the dark genius who corrupted the pure message of Jesus—he's been accused of it all. Even Christians have a tendency to look askance at the brash apostle when his words grate on our modern sensibilities. Paul Behaving Badly is a defense of the apostle that strikes just the right tone. Richards and O'Brien account for the understandable objections people have to Paul's writings while gently correcting misunderstandings. This learned and readable work will resonate with fans and foes of the embattled apostle and illuminate Paul's passion for the gospel and the Christ it proclaims. I can't imagine a more needed book on a more important topic.”

Shaping the Journey of Emerging Adults

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Restless, entitled, bloated self-esteem--pick your pejorative. Commentators have slung them all at those born between 1980 and 2000. Amid this barrage, how refreshing to encounter Shaping the Journey of Emerging Adults. Rather than throwing stones, the authors extend a hand by showing how to guide and disciple twentysomethings. This book is crammed with wisdom and couldn't have come at a better time. Indispensable reading for anyone who loves the younger generation.”

Supernatural Power for Everyday People

Christian Living

“Tired of slogging through your spiritual journey, back bent and jaw clenched? Yeah, me too. That’s why I found Jared C. Wilson’s latest book so refreshing. Jared reintroduces readers to the Holy Spirit, exposing the shenanigans perpetrated in his name, while also showing how the Spirit’s power is available to every believer for everyday life. If you’re hoping for some esoteric knowledge that will elevate you to an elite spiritual status, you’ll be disappointed. Jared argues that the Spirit’s work isn’t spooky or secretive. It’s to glorify Jesus and drive us deeper into the heart of the gospel. It’s there we find the power we need to live a fruitful, joyful Christian life.”

The Characters of Easter

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“I don't know how it happened. But somewhere along the way, I became numb to the wonder of Easter. I still believed that Jesus rose from the grave, but the miracle no longer moved and amazed me the way it once did. The Characters of Easter was the perfect antidote for my spiritual stupor. Darling's vivid portraits of the people present at the first Easter brought the momentous event to life for me. I learned fascinating details about the ancient world and received fresh insights about Jesus' friend and enemies. In the end, The Characters of Easter renewed my gratitude for Christ's sacrifice and resurrection and left me worshiping in the light of the empty tomb. I know it will do the same for you.”

The Storied Life

Arts & Literature

“How do I become an author?” I’ve heard this question, or some variation of it, hundreds of times, and I’m never quite sure where to start. Now I have the perfect resource to recommend. Jared’s book is a feast of wisdom for Christian writers served up by a master of the craft. It’s both inspiring and practical and covers topics ranging from how to kill adverbs to overcoming writer’s block to guarding your soul against the perils of platform. Most importantly, he reminds us that even our best efforts are derivative, owing to the ultimate Source of truth and creativity: “Christian writers should not think of themselves as originating anything but rather adorning what we’ve inherited.” Amen.”

The Water and the Blood

Christian Living

“Identity seems to be the preoccupation of our time. Unfortunately, we tend to look in all the wrong places to find it—some inward, others to the fickle affirmation of others. This book lights the path to a better way. Kevin Emmert shows how only Christ provides a solid foundation for our identity and how we encounter him afresh through the sacraments. With deep yet accessible theology, Emmert demonstrates how the sacraments help form our identity in Christ in a dynamic and tangible way. The Water and the Blood is a profound and beautiful book that will resonate with believers from a variety of traditions.”

Your Longing Has a Name

Christian Living

“With lyrical prose and powerful insights, Dominic Done points to a road map for the soul in an often-overlooked passage of Scripture. I finished Your Longing Has a Name filled with confidence that a life of meaning and fulfillment, while not easy, is possible. God used this book to breathe fresh life into my soul. I know it will do the same for many others too.”
