Bringing Home the Message

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Perkins is a preaching pastor who argues in favor of interactively involved parishioners, who not only listen to sermons but also study with others the texts from the Bible in 'sermon-based' small groups. These groups become inductive, expositional explorations of the biblical text that are the sources of the sermons. The good result of this . . . is in its potential for life-changing impact in the lives of people because both people and pastors are encouraged to become expositors of and listeners to the texts of the Bible.”

Face to Face, Volume One

Christian Living

“I am grateful for Marty Folsom's book Face to Face. His book is warmhearted and conversational as he guides his readers toward the goodness and generosity of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have deep respect for the theological wisdom and evenhandedness of Folsom as a pastoral/theological writer.”

Kneeling with Giants

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Here is a book that invites each of us to learn how to pray. Not only is Gary Hansen a superb scholar and historical theologian, he also writes with a personal warmth and earnestness that makes his readers feel safe and encouraged as they trace with him the journeys of a company of remarkable men and women from Christian history. The mark of each was that they cared deeply about prayer, and because of that we are enriched as we learn from them. Hansen also invites us to experience our own life of prayer as we learn from this rare community of brothers and sisters--people like St. Benedict, Martin Luther, Ignatius of Loyola, St. Teresa of Ávila and Andrew Murray. I was personally challenged and encouraged in each chapter, and I recommend this book enthusiastically.”
