Tending Soul, Mind, and Body

Theology

“In the church we have often failed to integrate our spiritual life with the rest of our humanity, resulting in a truncated vision of discipleship. We rightly emphasize evangelism, Bible reading, and prayer but are underprepared to help the mentally ill, the lonely, the addicted, or the traumatized. These helpful essays draw from multiple disciplines and address a wide array of topics to encourage a more holistic understanding of spiritual formation.”

The Biblical Trinity

Theology

“By working through a series of key biblical passages through a Trinitarian lens, Brandon Smith helps us understand how the Trinity is ultimately not an obstacle, but an aid, in understanding Scripture.”

The Enneagram Goes to Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The Enneagram Goes to Church will help pastors and ministry leaders grow in their preaching and teaching, oversight of worship, pastoral care, leadership, management of staff, understanding of institutional health, and more. For those already sold on the Enneagram, this book will enrich their understanding and help them relate the Enneagram to church life. For those who are new to the Enneagram, this book will be a fascinating journey of discovery. For those who are skeptical but willing to give the Enneagram a chance, this book may surprise them by highlighting just how helpful a tool it can be. A fascinating and useful book! Highly recommended!”

The Holy Spirit

Theology

“Fred Sanders is a world-class theologian of the Trinity. In this book, he introduces us to the Holy Spirit—the member of the Godhead whom Christians already know yet often neglect or misunderstand. Accessibly written, rich in historical and theological insight, and unwaveringly faithful to Scripture and orthodoxy, The Holy Spirit: An Introduction is the best book of its kind. It distills a great depth of learning into a clear, friendly, pastoral text. The twenty-seven rules of the appendix alone would make a wonderful primer for every Christian.”

Foreword

The Path to Being a Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Bobby Jamieson’s The Path to Being a Pastor helpfully reframes and normalizes the experience of becoming a pastor, and the process of decision-making surrounding it. For those wrestling with whether to pursue the pastorate, The Path to Being a Pastor will be both an encouraging and thought-provoking read, and will give them biblical, practical, and edifying steps for how to move forward. Give this excellent book both to aspiring pastors and to current pastors who seek to encourage them.”

The Steadfast Love of the Lord

Christian Living

“Sam Storms has blessed me so many times through his life and ministry, but the honesty and hope of this book moved me in a special way. We all need help to keep going when life brings suffering, and Sam teaches us how: look to the steadfast love of the Lord. Sam shows us how to take refuge in God’s love even when we cannot understand his ways (which will surely happen to us all). This richly biblical series of meditations will be edifying to everyone who reads it and will bring special comfort and strength to those who are struggling with doubts or spiritual dryness.”

The Unseen Battle

Christian Living

“Pushing against both an unhealthy obsession with the supernatural and a desupernaturalized reading of Scripture, Joel Muddamalle invites us to look closer at what the Bible says about angels and demons. If you’ve wondered about “divine council theory” or what the Bible means when it speaks of God’s family or the heavenly royal court, this book will provide a clear and helpful introduction. Highly recommended!”

Turning of Days

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“It's amazing how much we can learn from nature, if we have the eyes to look, and the patience to ponder. Hannah Anderson's beautiful meditations on creation help us appreciate the wonder that is all around us, and the unique insights creation provides into the character of God and the life of faith. Reading this book is like going on a long, refreshing walk in the woods—it nourishes your soul in ways you can't fully articulate.”
