A Hunger for God

Christian Living

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Awe

Christian Living

“I still remember the first time I was in awe of God. It came after years of attending churches and calling myself ‘Christian.’ It was a major turning point in my life. It is an awe of God that inspires my major life decisions as well as my daily actions. Thank you, Paul, for getting beyond symptoms and getting at the heart of the matter. This book is brilliant, and I wish every believer would read it carefully. We live in a crazy time. We need books like this to help lay healthy foundations for our lives, so that we don’t spend our days overreacting to unpredictable events.”

Digital Detox

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Parents unknowingly destroy their children by being passive. Digital Detox exposes the harmful effects of screen time while giving hope and practical direction for parents.”

Faith for Exiles

Christian Living

“A timely reminder that Christians don’t have to conform in order to survive. It encourages those of us with deep convictions not to cower but to boldly speak truth with wisdom and love. Radical followers of Jesus can be relevant.”

Good Faith

Christian Living

“I love this book. It is a timely reminder that Christians don’t have to conform in order to survive. It encourages those of us with deep convictions not to cower but to boldly speak truth with wisdom and love. Radical followers of Jesus can be relevant.”

Nonviolence

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

““Considering the hostile and violent state of our world, Christians cannot afford to be ignorant on this issue. We need to know ahead of time how Christ wants us to respond so that we don’t make tragic mistakes when unexpected events come our way. While so many argue from clever human logic, Preston has taken the time to make a solid biblical argument. I highly recommend that every believer examine the truths in this book. You may discover that much of your current belief system has been influenced by sources other than Scripture.”

Parenting

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This is the most meaningful book I have read all year. It is both theological and practical, a rare combination for a parenting book. For years, people have asked me to write a book on parenting. After reading this, I am convinced that I could never write one better than this. I’m so glad I read this, but I wish I could have read it twenty years ago. After reading Parenting, I was torn. Part of me wanted to sit, cry, and confess all of my failures as a parent. The other part wanted to scream with excitement for the tremendous insight I now have to be a better parent.”

Reading the Bible Supernaturally

Christian Living

“I have been reading the Bible daily for thirty-five years. Reading the Bible Supernaturally challenged my motives, effort, and enjoyment. I doubt I will read the Scriptures the same way again. I look forward to deeper and more wonderful times alone in the Word in the days ahead. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to take Bible study seriously.”

Saturate

Christian Living

“I’ve always been grateful for Jeff Vanderstelt’s heart for discipleship. Rather than drawing people to himself, he labors to help others understand the power they possess in the Spirit. He does what all good leaders should do: spends his days equipping others to do the work of the ministry.”

Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God

Christian Living

“We live in a relativistic culture, where people are more concerned with being liked than being truthful. In Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God, John Piper does an outstanding job of biblically defending key truths that the church often ignores. He gives us an example of how to take a bold and educated stand on issues of race, purity, and God’s sovereignty.”

Songs of Suffering

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Scripture tells us to be Spirit-filled: ‘addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.’ Joni is the only person I know who actually lives this out, and she does it despite suffering more than anyone else I know. God has given Joni to the church as a gift and beautiful example of sacrificial worship. I’m so grateful that she has authored this book!”

Strong to the End

History & Biography

“I don't remember the last time I was challenged so deeply by a book. As a father of seven, I tried to imagine Lisa and I enduring what the Lloyds have suffered. I tried to think of any words that anyone could speak to me that would be helpful. I came up empty. It left me wondering if I have adequately communicated both the danger and reward of gospel obedience. I am deeply grateful that my children will be able to read this book and learn from a family who sees the glory of Christ worthy of any cost.”

The Christian Atheist

Christian Living

“Praise The thing I’ve always appreciated about Craig is his willingness to be honest when his life doesn’t match up with the Scriptures. Too many people are quick to make excuses for themselves and others who call themselves “Christian.” Craig challenges us to think deeply, honestly, and fearfully about how our lives may be contradicting our message.”
