“Paul Tripp has a way of helping us to get beyond the surface. It is clear that Paul has thought through this subject deeply. Read this book and find yourself challenged and encouraged to stand in awe of the reality of God and to take him seriously because of it!”

“Dr. Perkins does it again. He frames suffering for us in a way that helps us not only realize and come to terms with it, but see it from a heavenly perspective, which is a hopeful one. As my wife and I have suffered much in our lives, we treasure his words in helping us to further frame the purpose of pain from God's perspective.”

“Father Hunger illustrates one of the greatest influences or lack thereof on the identity of a man: a father. Read a book that will strike an invisible chord in the lives of men both lost and found.”

“Dr. Carl Ellis was and is ahead of his time. This book was first introduced in the early 1980s; however, the items Ellis deals with have been timeless issues to African Americans. I have read and reread this book and quoted from it more than I can say. In essence, this is a classic work. It has found new life, as the same question of black identity is rearing its head again. The gospel must be applied to our issues contextually without changing its content. The scope of the gospel must be engaged in the black experience. Dr. Ellis is a brilliant theologian and sage! I recommend Free at Last? as foundational cross-ethnic reading for thinking through and dealing with the issues of today. Kudos to IVP for rereleasing the seminal work. I'll be continuing to refer to it in my ministry and recommend it to the lost and the found for shaping their journey.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Depth, balance, clarity, and creativity are words that come to mind when thinking of this resource. This symphonic resource merges history, story, and the Bible for the mind and the heart all in one. My dear friend Bryan Loritts has graciously kept all of us from separating our sociality from our theology; he doesn't call us to put our sociology before our theology but the other way around. Seeing the redemptive story of God in any history is amazing; however, seeing this metanarrative in black history is a gift for all of us to continue to see it in our lives today.”
Women
“Chrystal is a woman who has experienced brokenness, which gives her a huge heart for women who are in the same place. Read this work, which is a reflection of God’s putting her back together as he puts you back together.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“James W. Thompson vividly demonstrates how the author of Hebrews utilized Middle Platonic and Greco-Roman rhetorical elements—the cultural currency of his era—to articulate his profound early Christian ‘word of exhortation’ most effectively. Thompson rejects approaches that demand a sharp dichotomy between Hellenistic and apocalyptic Jewish influences. He shows that the former often appear in Hebrews in no less ‘Jewish’ ways than the latter, and always in service to the author’s Christian theological expression.”

“Mark has an uncanny gift of communicating very complex truths in an extremely accessable way. In a world filled with authentic identity replacements; Mark seeks to show how being transformed by Jesus is true transformation. However, it also will help you to know the one who gives new identity. Transformation without a relationship is to be an orphan. Yet transformation with relationship creates the deepest sense of meaning possible. That is why Who Do You Think You Are? is a helpful tool to bring clarity to the point of identity.”
Apologetics
“Christianity is under close scrutiny today—from the academy to the alley. Gen Z and millennials get their information from memes and YouTube videos that feed uninformed superstitions about the faith. As a pastor, I’m bombarded with questions about the Bible and the personhood and historicity of Jesus Christ on a regular basis. We now live in a time when truth is subject to a person’s preferences, and what is called “truth” is really just a formulated montage of misinformation. We need accessible and accurate information for people in all walks of life. In Why I Trust the Bible, Bill Mounce invites Christ followers and doubters to consider the reasonable and sound answers he provides to today’s tough questions.”
Worship in the Letter to the Hebrews
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The author of Hebrews reminds his audience of the importance of meeting together for worship (Heb 10:25), and John Paul Heil examines this 'word of exhortation' (Heb 13:22) to consider what might be inferred throughout the book about worship experiences and expectations. Heil's approach is distinctive and offers new insights.”

“Not many would want to be a prophetic voice today. There can be a cost to speaking out, but doing so means that you are unbought. That is what you will sense in these pages by my brother Steve Bezner. You may get rattled or even triggered at times, but that is not a bad thing. The American church has become too politics-centered rather than Christ-centered. We need a biblical worldview more than ever today. Read this work and experience the growth and implementation of such a vision.”
