Church Leadership & Ministry
“The history of global missions is rich and encouraging. Even in this complex age we can learn a great deal from those who have gone before. In Pioneering Movements, Steve Addison provides us with a compelling reminder of the important role godly leaders play in the proliferation of the gospel for God's glory. Addison's book is both instructive and inspirational.”
Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Tim Morey did a courageous thing. He told the truth. In a space that is often filled with the retelling of airbrushed success stories, Tim wrote a book that revealed the difficulties often found in church planting and the effects those difficulties can have on church planters and their families. But Tim doesn't leave us there. His book enumerates many practicalities that will guide a church planter to avoid the worst and thrive in the work of church planting. Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul is a refreshing book and a significant contribution to the church planting conversation.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“An issue that matters today is our divided nation, filled with too many divided churches and divided Christians. That is clear to all. For those of us who call Jesus Christ our Lord, we also know the prayer of Jesus ‘that they may be one’ (John 17:22). But how do we do this? We start with the single most influential time in the church each week: the sermon. But how do we do that practically? In Preaching to a Divided Nation, Kim and Hoffman give a useful framework to confront the division in our time with preaching grounded in the Bible’s story line and founded on the redemptive work of Christ.”
Re-Imagining Short-Term Missions
Evangelism & Missions
“Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Short-term missions have become a major part of local church ministry for years, but often with little evaluation and too little regard for those hosting them. This book offers helpful and hopeful content that not only recognizes key issues with STMs but also gives a litany of helpful counsel for future trips. This is a must-read book for anyone involved in the leadership of STMs.”
Christian Living
“Frank continues to challenge the church-at-large with a powerful mind, an impassioned voice, and a love for the Bride of Christ.”
World Religions
“W. Mark Lanier brings the insight and exactitude of an attorney into the often-nebulous questions of religions and belief. Religions on Trial walks through major historic faiths and recent spiritual trends with careful analysis. It's a helpful resource to seek to understand not just religions but your neighbors.”
Christian Living
“The best place to begin the study of God is with worship. As my colleague Thaddeus Williams writes compellingly in Revering God, “Human beings are designed for awe.” Beginning with reverence, Williams mines deeply into who God is, who we are, and how to know and worship him. This book is a rare find among theologians as it is both deep and wide, filled with truth and approachable for the believer hungry to know and worship our awesome God.”
Christian Living
“In Saturate, Jeff Vanderstelt endeavors to provide Christians with an image of God’s grace that is all-encompassing and inescapable. Whether you are new to the faith or a seasoned believer, Jeff’s words will encourage you and focus God’s gospel on every facet of your life. This book will challenge the way you see your Savior, your mission, and your everyday life.”
Christian Living
“Margaret Feinberg is a wonderful storyteller, helping us delve more deeply into the narrative of the Scriptures and discover truths we often overlook.”
Apologetics
“The Christian faith at its core is both spiritual and supernatural. The new birth we receive through Christ reveals this reality. While it’s true that some go too far in emphasizing personal phenomena over proclaiming biblical truth, we shouldn’t react to extremes by swinging too far the other way. I know of no one better than Lee Strobel to amplify the miraculous nature of our faith with wisdom. This book will show you how.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In the decade since the first edition of Seeking Refuge came out, debates and views about immigration have only gotten more difficult and divisive. Yet, the global refugee crisis has only grown more pressing. With biblical arguments and empirical data, this new edition again helps evangelical Christians sort through some of the issues with clarity, conviction, and compassion. Most importantly, we are pointed to the heart of God for all people and reoriented toward the mission to show and share the love of Jesus with all nations, whether across the world or across the street.”
History & Biography
“Christianity represents a faith to be proclaimed—both by preaching and through song. In this intriguing and informative book, Edith Blumhofer shows us how preaching and singing came together through the enormous influence of the Billy Graham crusades. Now readers can see for themselves the details behind the crusades and especially the music that shaped generations. Edith has left us a gift in Songs I Love to Sing.”
Spurgeon’s Theology for Multiplying Disciples and Churches
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In a culture obsessed with the new and the innovative, Larry Osborne deftly discloses the secret to true innovation … If you aspire to be an innovative leader, you need this book.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“One of those books you will read more than once. It is wise and practical, just like its author.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In Teams That Thrive, Ryan and Warren provide the church with valuable insight from research rooted in biblical principles to create a picture of team leadership that is sound and scriptural. Whether your church is two hundred or two thousand, whether your team is two or twenty-five, this book will be an essential resource.”
The Battle for Heaven and Earth
Fiction
“In the Middle Ages, writers such as Dante and Milton employed poetry--each in a different era and context--to imaginatively explore the grand biblical story of creation, the fall, and redemption. In the modern era, the novel has become the dominant literary form for wrestling with those same enduring questions. THE BATTLE FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH stands in that tradition. Intentionally not a theological treatise, Mark Yarbrough--a respected seminary leader--and Jerry Jenkins--one of the world's most successful novelists--have crafted a compelling reimagining of the biblical beginning. Through the power of story, they invite readers to think afresh about origins, responsibility, evil, and ultimately, redemption.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“JR and Dan use their wisdom and experience to help churches plant churches that better reflect the effectiveness of the early church, emphasizing the importance of community and discipleship.”
Christian Living
“Too often the gospel fails to take root when it is assumed. The explicit gospel transforms individuals, churches, and nations as the mission of God is carried forward. Matt Chandler has gifted the church with a powerful tool to combat the assumed gospel. The Explicit Gospel is a serious threat to the moralistic, therapeutic deism that cripples the lives of so many. I highly recommend this book to both believers and unbelievers alike.”
