Encountering the History of Missions
History & Biography
“Mark Terry and Rob Gallagher, two veteran missionaries and professors of missions, provide their readers with an edifying survey of the history of missions. I can enthusiastically recommend this book to professors, students, pastors, missionaries, and missions administrators. All will benefit from its scope and insights.”
Evangelism in a Skeptical World
Evangelism & Missions
“This practical guide not only provides a biblical description of evangelism but also includes helpful strategies for gospel sharing in everyday situations. This book will be helpful for all who desire to see those who are hostile to God become followers of Jesus.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In Fail J.R. Briggs succeeds in shining a light on an often taboo subject in modern-day ministry. Through the lens of the gospel, Briggs provides a vision to see failure as an invitation to grow in the grace and knowledge of God. If you are a minister, a former pastor, a fallen pastor or a struggling believer, Fail will encourage, strengthen and instruct you in the freedom offered at the cross. For 'by his wounds, we are healed.'”
Christian Living
“Mike Cosper gives us a finely written, timely, and sometimes provocative commentary on the themes of Esther. He retells the story with particular emphasis on how her story is really our own in a highly secularized society. I want an authentic witness in today’s world and this commentary will help you to live and tell Christian truth in a non-Christian world.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In Psalm 78 we read about the importance of passing our faith down to the next generations and telling them about God’s glorious deeds, power, and wonders. I don’t know of anyone who is better equipped and capable of helping the church do this than Mark Matlock. We must tell both the coming generations and the unchurched generations among us the good news of Jesus. In this book, you will discover not only information about where we are and the challenges we face but also hopeful and helpful ideas on what to do about them. Every one of us has a part in passing on our faith. Mark helps us do just that.”
Christian Living
“There is a troubling trend in Christian messages today: gospels which are more about self than Christ. In Free of Me, Sharon takes aim at this false gospel, revealing its emptiness and why it can’t deliver. Through personal testimony and scriptural backing, she explains how we can reject these messages and focus on the one true gospel that frees. In these pages, Sharon issues a bold call we all need to hear, which is why I highly recommend this book.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Ott and Wilson have delivered a massive resource with scriptural insights, timely stories, and practical guidance that will help anyone interested in church planting.”
Theology
“The church in the West is experiencing a lull in evangelism at a time when the need has never been greater—nor the opportunity brighter—for the church to tell the world the good news in Jesus. In God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves take us to the heart of the biblical motivation to share Christ: a proper vision of our great and glorious God. The more we are overflowing with the glorious love of God, the more we will overflow with words of the gospel to others. This book will show you how to overflow with gospel love.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Fuses academic scholarship with the practice of evangelism in our culture today.”
Gospel Witness through the Ages
Evangelism & Missions
“Evangelism might be one of the most misunderstood and under-practiced spiritual disciplines in the evangelical church today. In Gospel Witness through the Ages, David Gustafson has produced a valuable resource to help the church remember, theologically, what evangelism is while also offering a historical account of the various evangelism models and practices the church has employed throughout the last two millennia. My prayer is that the Spirit of God will use this work to recapture the church’s passion for evangelism while helping the church to imagine new evangelism models and practices for the twenty-first century.”
Christian Living
“Whether you are a preacher or a teacher, or whether you work with your hands or sit at a screen each day, your job matters.

In Grace at Work, my friend Bryan Chapell gives practical and encouraging wisdom to believers regarding our work—no matter our location or vocation.”

With a deep knowledge of the field and a solid Christian commitment, Grace for the Children will bring the hope, encouragement, and direction you need.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Reading books on growing churches is a big part of my job. I love people who love to grow churches. Yet it’s unusual to get a book like this—written by a pastor who has led a church to be one of the largest and most influential churches in the country. I’m grateful that pastor Jenkins distilled his wisdom into this book to help pastors and others navigate the many challenges and opportunities facing the church. This is not theory, but a lived, practical guide for the church today. Read it with your whole team!”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“My family, maybe like yours, has been touched by suicide. Answers are often sparse and the questions linger. In the midst of the pain, we mourn and we grieve. In this unique and helpful book, Al Hsu helps us to grieve well in the midst of the hurt.”
Hearing God, Following the Spirit
Theology
“In our hyper-driven world, we regularly experience sensory overload and can feel spiritually overwhelmed. This calls us to a resilient faith where hearing from God rises above the noise. In this compelling book, readers can find a biblical, culturally attuned, and practical approach to hearing God's voice to make a difference in our world.”
History & Biography
“R.A. Torrey is too often overlooked—and I'm thankful for How God Used R.A. Torrey. He preached an unchanged gospel—Torrey called it the "old gospel message." Yet, Torrey was willing to use changing methods—even is his own life, from big-room meeting, to personal discipleship, to founding what today is a globally-known university. A century later, this book will help you learn more of the essential Torrey!”

Christian Living
“With remarkable clarity and helpful analysis, Brian Rosner provides a template for understanding the expressive individualism so prevalent in the West. Rosner does so in an irenic way that makes this book approachable to those caught up in individualist approaches. It will be a helpful primer to some of the more important conversations people have at each other today—and it can help us to start talking with one another instead.”
