Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Amy Sherman has done it again! Her thesis this time is that the good news is way bigger than we could have imagined. And the church—those who collectively find themselves following Jesus of Nazareth—has the best chance of helping each person flourish in every area of life: spiritually, relationally, economically, educationally, artistically, and vocationally. Throughout history, parts of the church in different parts of the world have gotten parts of this flourishing framework right, which led to the abolition of the slave trade, the adoption of children, care for the sick, the establishment of public schools and public spaces, and job creation for the common good. Today we can see the complete ecosystem of a flourishing community and the role we can play in helping to bring that about. I believe Agents of Flourishing can serve as the systematic theology for advancing shalom in every community and will be the go-to source for those who find themselves captivated by Jeremiah's word to 'seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you.'”

From the Sanctuary to the Streets
Church Leadership & Ministry
“From the Sanctuary to the Streets is the story of how one person began to help others--the broken of our world--dream and realize those dreams. She invites us into her world and introduces us to her friends. It is through this eye-opening account of Wendy's story and the individual stories of her friends that we get a glimpse of God's power to heal and mend the broken and transform them into a community of dreamers.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Filled with careful research, inspiring examples, heroic people and epic stories, Kingdom Calling introduces the reader to the reality that William Gibson identified: 'The future is already here; it's just not evenly distributed.' This book will go a long way in helping us fast-forward that future.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Bible Questions serves as a timely guide to the timeless Scriptures. New believers to aspiring theologians will appreciate its depth and simplicity. If you are looking for one book that combines academic scholarship along with practical application, this book is for you.”
The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump is a compilation of timely essays that document the perilous seismic and public shift from evangelicals endorsing the policies of a presidential candidate to evangelicals ordaining that same candidate. Today may be a great day for evangelicals politically but this day may ultimately lead to believers having less and less real spiritual influence on their neighbors around them. Judged by our own actions, good news will be seen as fake news and Jesus will soon be relegated to the alternative way, the alternative truth, and the alternative life. That's the spiritual danger of Donald Trump.”
