“Chris Nye made even an old theologian/pastor like me stop and reassess how I view Christian commitment. As I pondered his deep insights and powerful call, it drew me back to join the mission of the triune God, who creates, comes, calls, connects.”
A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Mike Tatlock is a pastor who combines an all-in heart, a deep wisdom for living a disciple's life, and riveting writing. He brings deep biblical and pastor insight to lead readers to A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture. Enjoy his author skills and grow to the joy of the life of a Jesus follower.”

“Once again, A.J. Swoboda has given us a great gift toward becoming mature disciples of Jesus Christ. Being teachable is at the heart of discipleship, but it’s often only an abstraction. Swoboda gives wise direction so we can learn from a wide range of people. I particularly appreciated his chapter on learning from enemies, a most challenging assignment. Do yourself a favor and invest in developing a teachable spirit.”
Theology
Foreword
“Lee Thai has done some wonderfully creative work here building from the quantum physics model into a way to connect God’s omniscience/sovereignty and human choice. . . . Because Thai bypasses some of the endless wrangling with this age-old problem (dare I call it a foolish controversy in many cases?), he does the church a great service by helping people come to where they can trust the God of the Bible in the face of terrible disappointments in life and horrible results of disobedience.”
Confessions of a Reformission Rev.
Church Leadership & Ministry
“how to be a pastor. People with a passion to be missional will resonate with Mars Hill Church’s story of implementing their vision to create a healthy body of believers in the least-churched city in the least-churched state in the country.”
Theology
“Michael Heiser has done a great service to all who want to understand the biblical theology of demons, the supernatural powers in rebellion against God. He gives a detailed exploration of the biblical materials as well as the best of the literature of ancient Jewish writers. He correctly believes that we must read the biblical accounts in the context of their ancient worldview. Reviewing all this material, helpfully gathered into this book, will challenge most everyone's understanding of demons. His work is controversial so he brings the work of those who differ with him into his discussions. The study will correct widely-held errors in modern demonology and make us more faithful followers of the One who has won the decisive victory over the Devil.”
Theology
“Daniel Hill interacts with theological giants—John Zizioulas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Stanley Hauerwas—in building his ecclesio-anthropology. His thesis is that ecclesiology—that is, the nature, mission, practices, and telos of the church—provides necessary insight into the study of human imagination, vocation, formation, and flourishing. Thus ecclesio-anthropology provides enriching insight into the nature of human action, the goodness of human embodiment, and the teleological nature of human creatures.”
Christian Living
“Diane Comer’s personal journey from disappointed good girl to deeply spiritual woman of God shows the power of the Spirit’s working in the midst of tragic loss when the eyes of faith opened deaf ears to hear the gently powerful voice of the LORD Most High. It will take you deep into intimacy with Him.”
Apologetics
“Dan Kimball is an absolute genius at helping Christians see why many people reject God because they read the Bible! He goes deep into those strong negative reactions to help us feel their power before gently showing us a better way. Reading crazy passages in light of the whole story shows us the power of the redemption of God through Jesus.”

Marriage, Family & Relationships
“This dialogue between professional scholar-ministers who are also couples living in exemplary marriages is incredibly helpful because they show theologically and personally the similarities and differences between complementarians and egalitarians. Because they dialogue respectfully as friends, the clear presentation of their similarities and differences is all the more helpful. It's a must-read for scholars who want to explore theology and exegesis, pastors and counselors who want to do better marital counseling, and people who need examples for more Christ-honoring marriages.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“People who help us ponder the wonder of the character of our God are a marvelous gift to God’s people. Sally Auguston has done just that in Meet My God. She will lead you through daily devotionals . . . to a deepened worship of the Lord of glory. Take and read and marvel.”
Mending the Soul, Second Edition
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Mending the Soul sets the standard for integrating biblical foundations and research-based approaches to healing the trauma of abuse. This major upgrade incorporates the Tracys’ lessons of fifteen years of worldwide utilization and is an essential resource for pastors, counselors, and teachers whose goal is to bring whole-person healing to traumatized and abused people.”
Theology
“Finally—a coherent statement of current dispensational thinking which leaves the zealous mistakes of Scofield and the Allis-Ladd-Walvoord wars far behind. It presents hermeneutics grounded in authorial intent rather than naive literalism, unity as well as diversity in the biblical covenants, Davidic as well as new covenants inaugurated by Jesus, and a kingdom-based framework for understanding progressive dispensationalism. It is a thoughtful presentation of a truly biblical-theological system, a bench mark for future discussions.”
Raising Passionate Jesus Followers
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Wise parenting requires the eyes of our hearts be enlightened by godly, experienced, reflective mentors who combine biblical insight and sage application. Phil and Diane Comer have given us this in Raising Passionate Jesus Followers. Their success with their own children, plus their pastoral guidance of thousands of others, is the foundation for this treasured resource.”
Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel
Christian Living
“Ben Connelly brings years of experience as an equipper of church planters alongside his own work as a planter to the crucial question, 'What is the gospel?' He writes with biblical depth, the wisdom of experience and the heart of a disciple-maker. I highly recommend careful study for the sake of the kingdom of Jesus.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Mark Sayers counters the fragility and failure of secularism with God's renewal pattern arising from living in peaceful presence as we become living temples of His presence. He lays out an eminently livable proposal for partnering with God in renewal by fostering His presence in corporate renewal leading to revival. Don't just read this book. Live it in remnant groups.”
Christian Living
“For too many Christians, resurrection is little more than a footnote to the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, merely confirming that at Calvary the debt of sin was paid in full. Steve Mathewson has done us a great favor with his series of fifty expositions to lead us into the magnificent depths of this essential doctrine. As you work slowly and carefully through the meditations, you will understand why the Church has always asserted that the resurrection of Jesus Christ changes everything!”
Theology
“Gregg Allison has done evangelicals a great service with a true theology of the church. In the endless stream of books and blogs on technique and pragmatics of doing church, Sojourners and Strangers gives an answer to the question ‘what is a church?’ that is superbly written, soundly biblical, theologically coherent, and practically applicable. His expertise in historical theology and his experience in leadership in a variety of types of churches enrich his profound biblical insights. It is a must read for all who are serious about leadership in the church of Jesus Christ.”
Theology
“Stanley Hauerwas's sermons, lectures, articles, and books have stimulated the thinking of Christian for decades. Gale Heidi has done us a great favor by providing an outstanding introduction, guide, and assessment of the enormous quantity and variety of Hauerwas's material. This enriching assessment, which is like a conversation between men of great heart and intellect, coming from deep understanding of Hauerwas, is the strength of Heide's book.”
