Evangelism & Missions
“The fork in culture between followers of Jesus and the unchurched is widening. This calls not for alarm or fear, nor should we dig in our heels to continue using “tried and true” methods that may have worked in a different cultural moment in the past. Craig’s book offers seven ways to revive evangelism in an effective way today, and I think he is on to something. He writes with a hopeful and encouraging perspective and offers significant research and insights to reach unchurched Millennials and those in Gen Z. I commend this timely book!”
Christian Living
“One of the great victories of faith in the life of a believer is coming to an understanding that honest doubt represents opportunity, not defeat. Doubt can cause us to seek answers from God and his word that will ultimately strengthen our faith. In this compelling book, Philip Ryken encourages the reader not to run from doubt but instead to grow through it, just as the biblical characters he describes did.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There have been few books that rightly assess and analyze the tensions American church leaders are managing in our current cultural moment. In Inalienable, the authors not only provide a proper assessment and analysis of these issues, but more importantly, they also offer a way forward. If you care about what the next generation of American Christianity looks like and how marginalized voices are shaping the future of American churches, I highly recommend this book.”

“Frank continues to challenge the church-at-large with a powerful mind, an impassioned voice, and a love for the Bride of Christ.”
Christian Living
“More than ever we need an articulate and detailed study of the importance and impact of the Christian faith that is not charged with emotions but is loaded with evidence. I am pleased to recommend John’s work to you, knowing that it will surprise you and draw you into the greater narrative of God’s unfolding mission within history. If you are a skeptic, this book is especially for you, and John’s arguments and research will intrigue you and invite you further into dialogue with history’s most significant person, Jesus.”

Discipleship & Christian Education
“Some books teach us truth, others motivate us, and some show us how to apply what we know. Rarely does a book do all three, but Discipology does. You’ll understand disciple-making at a new level by reading this important book.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The miracle of Christianity is that it offers a joy that goes beyond emotion and a hope that goes beyond time. In Joy for the World, Greg Forster presents a picture of this joy that inspires readers to hope and live in such a way that they transform their communities, their culture, and their world.”
Christian Living
“There's no better time than the present for a grounded, holistic, and strategic book on revival. James Choung and Ryan Pfeiffer have masterfully crafted a timely book that deals with head, heart, and hands in sustaining times of revival. Longing for, pursuing, and persisting toward revival are important precursors to sustaining and multiplying a move of God's Spirit among a people. You cannot read their book on revival without being profoundly moved to pray, 'Lord, do it again!' Read this book, learn from their experiences, and be shaped through their insights into all it takes to be ready for a move of God.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In Meet Generation Z James Emery White shares helpful insights into the generation that follows the Millennial generation in a clear, practical way. Pastors and church leaders seeking to better understand the world of their youth ought to read this text.”
History & Biography
“When Gutenberg invented his printing press, the book he printed was the Bible. In the great awakenings in the eighteenth century, John Wesley and fellow evangelicals produced so many Bibles, sermons, and all sorts of pamphlets, he was called 'thefather of the religious paperback.' Evangelists like D. L. Moody and Billy Graham leveraged the architectural advancement of great arenas for their evangelistic meetings, while more recently megachurches take advantage of the interstate highway system that allows people to travel quickly to gather in their auditoriums. But it may be that the use of the radio by Christians represents the most powerful way technology has been used to influence the masses, and two of the most influential voices were Bishop Sheen and Walter Maier. Read this to be informed of an important era in Christian history and to be inspired to utilize technology in our time for Christ.”

“With a firm grasp of the biblical narrative and a sharp focus on the mission of God, Gloria Furman challenges us to see motherhood as it is—not just a high calling but a part of the mission of God. You’ll be encouraged and challenged by this book!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Moral Choices has been the go-to ethics resource for evangelical colleges and seminaries for years. And with good reason. It’s a masterpiece of comprehensive ethical reasoning from a distinctly conservative, evangelical perspective. This newest edition updates this essential text in light of the most recent developments in the cultural discourse and the narratives that are shaping our world. You won’t regret letting Dr. Rae guide you through these often-difficult waters.”
Christian Living
“Move into More is for anyone who wants insight on God’s blessings. Using biblical principles and examples, Pastor Choco helps readers understand the importance of not only receiving but freely sharing God’s blessings.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“It would be hard to count the number of books, seminars, and podcasts currently available on leadership. Many are helpful and give wise counsel. In this book, Nicole Massie Martin offers a unique approach to leadership, one that recognizes the pathways and pitfalls of current leadership models in the church and in the culture, but one that also challenges various approaches with the perspective of a leader crucified to self for the glory of God and the good of those they lead. Every leader will resonate with one or more of the issues raised, and every leader will be helped by the wisdom offered in these pages.”
Evangelism & Missions
“The issue of refugees and immigrants exposes the division in America today. It also brings to light how many Christians see the issues more as a political football than as being about people for whom Jesus died. In No Longer Strangers, a remarkable group of contributors with deep and diverse experience in ministry to the marginalized show how to be incarnational in our evangelism. God is bringing the nations to us; may we be faithful to Jesus as we seek justice, show mercy, and tell the good news.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“not in it to win it,” and I’m in it with Andy and his passion for reaching people far from Jesus. Too many Christians are fighting the wrong battle and warring against the wrong people—you can’t wage war on people and reach them at the same time. Andy points us back to the mission Jesus sent us on—showing the love of Jesus to a broken and hurting world. This book is a prophetic call to a confused church, and I hope it is widely engaged and discussed.”
World Religions
“Neil Cole wants to make the complex simple—and he does it again in Organic Leadership. My head moved a lot as I read the book—mostly up and down, sometimes back and forth. Sometimes I just hung my head, thought, and prayed. Organic Leadership will trouble you—but more importantly, it will challenge you. And you should read it because the church could use some troubling and a new challenge.”
Theology
“The church today is blessed with an abundance of books and resources aimed at helping us draw closer to God, reach others, plant churches, or know God’s Word better. But there are far too few resources like this one. Jamin Goggin calls us to confession both to God and to one another. This book is not to be read lightly. Jamin shows us the way to prayerfully, gracefully deal with our sin as God intended. Our fractured churches need this book. More than that, pastors need this book. Read it slowly, prayerfully. Read it with other pastors. Confession is God’s way to healing, and we need that today. Let these words rescue you and bring you to a new depth of intimacy with God and with others in his body.”
