Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Written by two people whose lives and vocations have been lived out in the rhythms of a large cosmopolitan and multicultural urban setting, Abba's Whisper causes you to pause, listen, and to wait. Alan and Beth Davey, however, are not proposing a simple contemplative journey; they want us to learn to be attentive so that the intimate soft whispers of God are felt and in turn elicit response.”
An Emerging Dictionary for the Gospel and Culture
“Hjalmarson has done what many have wanted to do but couldn't-made sense of the multiple threads of discussion that have been taking place around the missional church. Using the idea of a dictionary is brilliant. He takes the varied conversations and with gentle and perceptive skill draws them together into a coherent whole. Thoughtfulness and care is on every page. He takes the varied themes and draws them into a passionate dialogue on what it means to engage the culture with a relevant and transformational gospel. This was a needed tool that provides content and a frame to the conversation. A must for everyone who seeks to be part of the conversation and a follower of Jesus in this time.”
History & Biography
“The authors capture the distinctive history of the Baptist movement in Canada. Equipped with the insights of historians, they provide a roadmap for understanding the diversity and shared realities of a group of churches whose polity and congregational government evokes controversy and mission all at the same time. Caught in the religious fabric of both mainline and evangelical streams of church life, Baptists in Canada play a unique role in leadership and influence. Heath, Friesen, and Murray capture this reality. A great addition to studies of religion in Canada.”
Christian Living
“My first memory of Michael Wilson is notebook in hand, ready to record any illustration that may be helpful in communicating God’s truth. His disciplined habit has been evidenced in his writings and preaching ever since. Caught in the CROSS-Fire is no exception. This book wrestles with a very significant aspect of the Christian life—spiritual warfare. I warmly welcome this new offering on such a vital topic. It is very readable, helpfully structured, and grounded in God’s word. I am sure Caught in the CROSS-Fire will be a rewarding journey for anyone who reads this book.”
Christian Living
“Friendship is a lived reality. The credibility and impact of this book emerges from this reality. It is written by someone who has lived vibrantly into its themes. For years, Pamela Powell has engaged deeply into relationships and those in the circle of those friendships have been blessed. The words in the pages of this book have been authenticated by the life that has been lived. Read deeply and learn from the number of people who call her friend.”
Preaching & Worship
“Leaps of Faith will change the way you approach the task of ministering the Word.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“This book is desperately needed within the places where donor fundraising and philanthropy intersect. In Love Giving Well Mark Petersen moves beyond the transactional to the journey of giving and receiving in which partnership and growth is nurtured. He puts a face on the donor and receiver calling for a new way of relating. It is not easy but Mark knows what he is talking about. He has lived it. This book is a must-read for anyone working in the area of fundraising and those whose generosity is mirrored in their philanthropic endeavors.”
Mission and Evangelism in a Secularizing World
Evangelism & Missions
“There is something unique about the Canadian context when it comes to the challenge of secularization. A city like Toronto, a center of influence in Christendom and Global mission in the early 1900’s, has come on hard times. In Post Christendom Canada, churches are in decline. We are like a time lapse camera of where you are going. There is hope however. It is found in the missionary zeal of the diaspora who call Canada home. Santos and Naylor capture this emerging voice, the energy, and the way they are teaching us all to be the church. By gathering together diverse voices from a variety of contexts, they point to the hope of the gospel in the twenty-first century. A must read for those wanting to be the church in this time.”
Christian Living
“In this intimate introduction to living intentionally into a community, Lynda MacGibbon captures the inconvenience and surprise of what happens when you take the call to live deeply into the world where God has placed you. Your neighbors become your friends, your friends become your community, and then the discoveries begin. Lynda has lived this out, fully and generously. She shares this intimate journey with us in My Vertical Neighborhood, and we are better for it.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Over 20 years within a vibrant community of faith, Tim has lived the four trajectories that he calls all churches to in this book. It is a call to participate in God's liberating mandate of love by moving us to (1) radical hospitality, (2) shared life in diversity, (3) seeking justice for the least, and (4) embracing new life in Christ. Freedom is found there, shalom is found there. This is a book that begs to be read over and over. It is a book that leads us into deep living and identification with communities in which churches are placed. Most of all it is a book that emerges from years of laughter, tears, suffering, and joys as a church and its leaders live deeply into the neighborhood.”
“In a time of disorientation and seeming chaos, Brian shows us that discipleship and the radical way of Jesus is the plumb line from which all else is measured. This book is needed and the author’s ability to root it in life makes it all the more invaluable.”
The Missional Church in Perspective
Church Leadership & Ministry
“With anything outside the church’s own walls now being labeled as ‘missional,’ the authors provide a healthy corrective. They do so not by throwing stones but by shaping content for the conversation, showing how missional is more than simply another strategy. The authors lay out how radically different and revolutionary it is for the church to be a missional people. This book not only adds to the conversation but also shapes and deepens it.”
