20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Americans love bad statistics--particularly the kind that prove what we already feel. But math does not care about our feelings, so sometimes we need a reminder of the facts. Ryan Burge's 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America is just the book we need to set the record straight and help us better understand the facts today.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Few people have the reputation of Dann Spader—with a life's passion for making disciples. Now in 4 Chair Discipling, Dann challenges us to walk more faithfully in Jesus' calling. Read and dwell on this helpful book.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Whether used as a textbook for courses in evangelism, as a study guide for small groups, or as a helpful catalyst for individual Christians, I believe this book will help equip the church for its mission of introducing people to Jesus and the life that can only be found in and through him.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Scroll through Amazon and you can find a number of travel guides to a given destination, from bucket list guides to best hiking guides to dog lovers' guides. But what about those times when you find yourself on a journey not to a vacation spot but in the wilderness? We may not all travel to Paris, but at some point, we all find ourselves in wilderness seasons. With A Way in the Wilderness, Kristel Acevedo gives you the essential guide through Scripture not only to survive the wilderness but to see and know God more deeply through the journey. Whether you face the wilderness of sin, despair, oppression, or more, you will find biblical wisdom with a personal touch. This helpful guide, with accompanying video training for small groups or individual study, may be just what you need to thrive even in the desert.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“AI Goes to Church will benefit anyone seeking to navigate the digital frontier with faithfulness and integrity. We stand on the cusp of unprecedented technological change. This book challenges us to consider how we can leverage AI for kingdom purposes, ensuring that our commitment to the gospel remains unwavering as technology advances. I'm confident that AI Goes to Church will inspire you to engage with the digital age thoughtfully, embracing the opportunities it presents while steadfastly upholding the timeless truths of our faith.”
Christian Living
“Discerning God’s call with clarity is an ongoing challenge, but a necessary journey. Dave Harvey has written one of the most helpful, practical books on Christian calling that I’ve read. Am I Called? guides a wide range of readers, not just pastors, through God’s call to ministry in their lives. I know I will be sharing Am I Called? with many in the years to come.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“Pastors will be encouraged and educated to understand and respond to real-world situations. This is not a book of theory but of the practical realities of church life. It lays out for the reader a number of valuable constructs to help deal objectively and personally with the diverse challenges leaders currently face. I encounter more leaders than ever who give more time and attention to conflict resolution, leading themselves, and the specific challenge of developing community in a polarized world. You will find honest and vulnerable help here.”
Theology
“One of the longest studies ever conducted on human life—the Harvard Study of Adult Development—found the top factor in living a long, happy life is deep relationships in a healthy community. As believers we know this is near to the heart of God, who gave us the church as a spiritual family. Carmen Joy Imes gives a strong and needed call to this community in our land marked today by individualism and division.”
Better Together, Expanded and Updated
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Better Together has become the go-to book on how to do mergers well--the kind of mergers that are about multiplication more than subtraction, and expansion more than elimination. Jim Tomberlin and Warren Bird provide invaluable help through research, great examples, practical guidance, and helpful language.”
Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Building a Multi-Ethnic Church has been the go-to resource for so many of us in our churches, classrooms, and personal lives. It's been a gift to the church. In it, you will find helpful ministry resources from practitioners, but also helpful theological understandings we need for multiethnic churches.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“We live in a world of increasing complexity and division. In Building a Multiethnic Church Derwin Gray calls the church and its leaders to a new level of conviction and a new type of leadership. This book challenges convention and challenges the reader to abandon the status quo and embrace a glorious picture of ethnic unity that is made possible only in Christ. This book is a must-read.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“In this important new work, David Dockery and Chris Morgan lay out a powerful vision for Christian higher education. As one who has recently cast my lot into this world, I was encouraged and challenged to learn from this helpful array of voices. Few realize all that is involved in higher education, and walking through the historical, biblical, and theological implications is both instructive and inspirational. I highly recommend this volume for higher ed starters (like me) and long-term veterans seeking to be faithful in the work of Christian higher education.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Alyson Pryor nails a reality that transcends the physical and invades our spiritual, emotional, relational and other aspects of life. We are hyper-driven and desperate for peace. In these pages Alyson not only shows us the importance of times of solitude, silence, and rest; she shows us just how to go about it in practical and specific ways. This is a book for our time.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“As you read and engage, you will quickly come to realize that this is not just another book answering a plethora of questions that leaders do not seem to be asking today. I am convinced that Confident Leader! will be a close companion to you on your leadership journey toward authentic confidence. Dan’s ability to weave together foundational leadership concerns, leadership principles, and practical out-working thereof is to be commended.”
Christian Living
“Deep Peace invites readers on a journey to discover the ultimate path to the biblical concept of peace—shalom. My prayer as you read Todd Hunter’s book is that your heart will be comforted by the God of all peace and that the Spirit of God will use you to be a bearer of peace to a troubled world.”
Christian Living
“The heart of the gospel of grace is a Savior who did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but assumed the role of a slave to save His creation. Moore exposes the truth of God’s Word, and the glory of the incarnation. He is the God who is near, God with us.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Churches are called to be the hands and feet of Christ, bringing aid and joy to a hurting world beset by difficulty and tragedy. In Disaster Ministry Handbook, Aten and Boan provide practical procedures for establishing disaster ministries in your church, healing the hearts of those in distress as well as helping those in need. Every pastor should prepare to lead, even in the most difficult circumstances; to that end this book is vital.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Mark’s passion to bring diverse people together as one in Christ is a well-known fact. Lesser-known is his credible work and the measurable results achieved by his church in advancing biblical justice and economic development in the city of Little Rock. In Disruption, he not only shares the story but more importantly a transferable model, not dependent on size or resources, that any local church would do well to embrace.”
