“Like stained glass panels adorning our houses of worship, illustrating the Gospel for an illiterate people, this book—a holy sanctuary of such windows—illuminates the human side of salvation, telling the story of God’s love with uncommon honesty and striking beauty. Like all great art, these letters effectively bypass the head and penetrate straight to the heart.”

Fiction
“With the sophistication of a theologian, coupled with the sanctified imagination of a pastor, master storyteller Matt Edwards retells the parables of Jesus in such winsome ways that you will not only be startled into hearing good news as if for the first time, but find yourself ushered more deeply into the wonder of the kingdom of God.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Jesus and the apostle Paul were among those who have had meaningful lives as single people. Conversely, many of today’s Christian subcultures emphasize the necessity of marriage in order to have a good life, resulting in the ‘ring by spring’ phenomenon on our Christian college campuses. Stacy George installs a relief valve on this cultural assumption, thereby reducing the pressure of premature marriages, giving students the freedom to choose if and when they will marry.”
Theology
“With the heart of a pastor, the mind of a scholar, and the soul of a Jesus follower, Brian Zahnd here shares the fruit of his long, unhurried contemplation of the cross of Christ. His keen insights liberate us from flawed atonement theories based in retributive justice that have persisted for far too long, and he breathes new life into the mystery of the cross: the supreme centerpiece of God's love that radiates redemption and ushers us into the peaceable kingdom.”
“Brian Zahnd's intrepid spirit of adventure and curiosity leads him to the far reaches of the Christian landscape—some of which has become overgrown with weeds of neglect or dismissed by post-modern sensibilities—and then invites us to join him in exploring the hidden mysteries of faith. This book is a pilgrimage for hungry souls who long for a deepening intimacy with God. With his ever-fresh voice and keen insights, Brian takes what is old and familiar—even forgotten or discarded—and breathes new life into timeless truths, refashioning them, and thereby us, for a truer beauty.”
Apologetics
“In our postmodern age ablaze with skepticism and secularism, Brian Zahnd's pastoral instincts and prophetic insights encourage us not to fear the loss of all that is being burned up in the church, but to be reassured that the enduring fire of God's love is branding the entire world with the kingdom of God. This is the burning bush of a book I didn't know I needed. Turn aside, take off your shoes, and read!”
