A Christian in the Land of the Gods

Evangelism & Missions

“I grew up in a church culture in which my heroes were missionaries; while my contemporaries were awed by athletes and movie stars, missionaries were the ones who held my attention. They still do. . . . In this memoir of her great-grandfather, Shelton adds one more riveting story to my scrapbook of risk-taking and courageous witnesses to the Christian faith.”

A Heart for God

Christian Living

“The life of David immerses us in the stuff of humanity--the everyday grit and glory that we all encounter simply by walking out the door each morning. Becky Pippert shows us that this is the raw material that God uses to shape a holy life in us. And as witness and participant she convinces us.”

Aging Matters

Christian Living

“Paul Stevens has spent a writing lifetime in shaping the Christian imagination into embracing the ordinary areas of life. Aging Matters may well be his most important work — important because we are living longer than ever and finding ourselves with fewer resources to live well and wisely. This book is a brilliantly crafted, prayerfully shaped witness for living to the glory of God.”

Broken and Whole

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Thank you for writing this important piece for leaders.”

Christian Basics

Theology

“I'm always on the lookout for a book that tells The Story accurately and well, a book I can put in the hand of an inquirer with confidence. Christian Basics: A Primer for Pilgrims is my latest find. Read this book and you will get the story straight — the God story, and your story along with it.”

Discerning the Body

“If you are looking for a sane guide through what seem like the ruins, this is the book for you. Jason Byassee's journalistic essays are accurate--I almost want to say sanctified--as he reports on conflicts, innovations, difficulties, and surprises that keep emerging in today's church and culture. Best of all, he writes with a gracious generosity that avoids gossip and is intent on discerning the Spirit.”

Downstream

“Downstream is an immersion (almost literally) in the streams and rivers of Appalachia in the company of two university professors, friends who through the years have developed both competence and knowledge in fly fishing. From its early pages I was riveted. Their language is exuberant but also disciplined. It didn't take me long to know that it would soon take its place on my bookshelf alongside John Muir and Henry David Thoreau. They are that good.”

Evangelical Theology

Theology

“Karl Barth for me is the theologian of the twentieth century. He gathered up, rethought, repreached, and reprayed the entire Christian tradition. I would not want to be without even a page of his multivolume Church Dogmatics, but this slim, spare book holds a special place in my reading. Its 'energetic brevity' keeps the nature and necessity of theology forcefully focused in my life.”

Fresh Wind Blowing

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“A growing number of Christians from across the American church scene have selected the term 'new monasticism' to identify themselves. Recognizing the failure and poverty of entrepreneurial and consumer-based attempts at church renewal, they are practicing the quieter life of prayer, meditation, and care for outcasts that in earlier troubled times was centered in monasteries--but in this case 'monasteries without walls.' I call it slow church development. It is the most promising development in my lifetime of Holy Spirit renewal. Harper's book is an attractive and accurate orientation to this quiet witness of imaginative and devout ways of living obediently in these times.”

Gospel Midrashim

Arts & Literature

“A poem provides a way to probe the inner reality of what is all around us, but because of familiarity, we miss noticing. Bazyn's poems do notice. The absence of stereotypes and the presence of accurate metaphors invite our participation. Pray these poems.”
