Discipleship & Christian Education
“This is a beautiful book. Written as a compendium on the importance of institutional mission, it is both clarifying and compelling in its breadth and depth of insight. A must-read for the leadership teams of every institution serious about defining and articulating its mission and for every individual sincere in their efforts to fulfill it.”
Christ-Centered Higher Education
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Combining intellectual autobiography with a penetrating analysis and critique of the plight of higher education, McKenna offers a powerful overview of the forces at work shaping our universities and colleges as they, in turn, shape each new generation of students. . . . Beyond the numerous insights sprinkled throughout the book, the analysis of the evolution of higher education in America is one of the most riveting and provocative of any available.”
Christian Living
“Phil Ryken’s Grace Transforming is a captivating series of chapel addresses reminding us that we never outgrow our need for the transforming power of God’s grace. With wonderful illustrations, sound biblical exegesis and hard hitting yet relevant applications, Phil invites us to face the realities of our own life in order to realize in ever more profound ways the power of God’s life changing grace. I was personally enriched by reading this new treasure and reminded of the things I love the most even when I fail to realize their lively pulsating reality in my own life.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“John Kasich has written another fantastic book inviting us to find our ultimate meaning in life by giving ourselves to purposes that will outlive us. In his understated yet profound way, John paints a beautiful mosaic of how ordinary people can make extraordinary contributions. He invites us to become others-centered by committing ourselves to the well-being of our communities, and along the way highlights the great contributions being made by several individuals spread across our vast country. Simone Weil once observed that just as the power of the sun is the only power in the natural universe that can get a plant to grow against gravity, so the love of God is the only power in the spiritual universe that can get a human to grow against the power of their egocentrism. John’s book is a great invitation to lead a life of loving impact.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Jeffrey Dudiak has written a wonderful, concise treatise on how to approach truth in a post-truth age. . . . Writing with the depth of Dallas Willard and the clarity of C. S. Lewis, Dudiak offers both an analysis and a remedy that is sufficient in its overview and compelling in its response. I am delighted by the clarity and guidance it provides.”
Theology
“LONG ENDORSEMENTS INCLUDED HERE "This is a fantastic book. Jen Buck offers a wonderfully original work simultaneously critiquing outmoded models of the church while offering fresh and invigorating options built from the multitude of voices scattered across the earth. She helps us understand some of the most complex features of contemporary and feminist theology without sacrificing a robust commitment and confidence in the person and work of Christ. This is sure to become a leading voice in the field.”
History & Biography
“David McKenna’s latest book helps us capture the grand adventure of living our life as a response to the presence and love of God. In his 95th year, Dave continues to pursue God in ways unparalleled and unsurpassed. Always grateful for God’s grace, Dave teaches us how to live a life of faithfulness not in spite of, but because of all that life brings.”
“Under the rapid-fire pace of modern life, Dr. Curt Thompson provides laser focus to the dynamics of the human soul and especially the crushing weight of untreated shame. With the heart of a pastor and the training of a surgeon, Dr. Thompson excavates layers of shame and then demonstrates their life-destroying aspects when left untreated. His training in psychiatry and medicine and his love and commitment to the life and spirit of Jesus uniquely qualify him both to diagnose and treat the ailment while pointing us to the one and only source of true life. Every individual who suffers under the weight of shame will benefit from this important book.”
The God of Intimacy and Action
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This is a book that combines action and contemplation so that we can become like Christ and change the world. By combining their love for social justice with a compelling vision of the Christian life, Campolo and Darling offer a wonderful resource for our life with God. I really enjoyed this book and have benefited from it.”

The Messiah Comes to Middle-Earth
Arts & Literature
“Phil Ryken brings his creative genius to bear on the beautiful work of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Utilizing the threefold office of prophet, priest, and king, Dr. Ryken invites us to see in Gandalf (prophet), Frodo (priest), and Aragorn (king) image bearers like ourselves, who, in facing the haunting realities of their own existence, draw us into a deeper understanding and reflection on our own life with God. Utilizing his own mastery of English literature combined with his wide access to and conversation with the best of biblical scholarship, Phil has crafted a real treasure that will both nourish and inspire you. Enjoy the read.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“When God Laughs with Us highlights encounters, at once serious and funny, each with its opening and insight into a deeper reality of our life with God. Dave's capacity to peel back the veneer that encases so many leaders and prod us to look deeper into our soul so that we can bear the weight of leadership more lightly is provocative . . . You will enjoy the combination of personal and professional anecdotes and be drawn into reflecting on the intersection of your own personal and professional 'life lessons.' You'll love the book.”
