Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Of the two ways to get into the ocean, wading in from a beach is preferable to being dropped in from a helicopter. If you’re not sure where to start in your study of the Bible, Conversational Commentaries will help guide you into the deep truths of God’s word step-by-step. Why stay on the shore?”
12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You
Christian Living
“Image is everything, and for a woman who has built her identity on the sands of how she’s embraced online, the eventual letdown will come like a crash. But there’s a better way forward, a way to use our phones in selfless service, to glorify God in our connectivity, and to image Christ by our phone behaviors. For this, we must evaluate our glowing screens and train our discernment to see the difference between the sight-driven habits of our age and the Scripture-lit pathway of faith. Every chapter of this book is like the right kind of push notification in our lives. Stop, read, process, and apply with care.”
Theology
“To borrow a phrase from C. S. Lewis, there’s a kind of ‘Deep Magic’ about the way God created man and woman—an ancient wonder that few of us postmoderns appreciate. Through a pragmatic arrangement of 50 Crucial Questions, Grudem and Piper bring out passage after passage of Scripture to awaken our minds and hearts to the wonder of what our Creator has done. This concise treatment of the major questions surrounding our roles in the church and home will catapult readers straight into God’s Word to see what is really there.”
Christian Living
“As Keesee has reported news of the gospel’s advance from the frontlines, in this latest missive he describes how Jesus meets us on the frontlines of our suffering. Proverbs tells us that the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel. A Day’s Journey chronicles the profoundly sweet way that Jesus uses friendship to bless and strengthen us in our deepest pain.”
Christian Living
“Perhaps every generation in the church age could claim a need for Bavinck’s perspective on the Christian life. We can’t let our salt lose its saltiness and our light lose its brilliance—not now. Bavinck encourages us in this regard even as we are in the world, not of the world, and sent into the world. In one seamless volume, Bolt shows how Bavinck’s contributions help correct our nearsightedness as we become tethered to his conviction that the Word of God is ever living and ever active in every day.”
Christian Living
“Contentment may not be as elusive as we think it is. Erik Raymond’s enthusiasm in explaining the biblical text regarding contentment really shines in this book. Whether you’ve been wearied by trying to squeeze contentment out of the world or you’re happy right where you are, Chasing Contentment will refresh your perspective as you marvel at the sovereign joy of Jesus.”
Christian Living
“In our culture awash with instructions to follow our own hearts, we desperately need this book. On a personal note, next to the doctrine of the sovereignty of God, the Bible’s teaching on the conscience has become to me a deeply encouraging motivation in my evangelism. In the last chapter in particular, Naselli and Crowley have given a great gift to cross-cultural workers everywhere!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This discipleship resource has it all—pastoral clarity, urgent relevance, practical brevity, and faithfulness to the Scriptures. Line by line, every chapter contains fodder for significant discussions on what the Word says about evangelism, conversion, and the church. I’m so thankful that Michael Lawrence wrote this book—I’ll be referring to it often.”
Delighting in the Old Testament
Christian Living
“From bacon and tattoos to typology and hermeneutics, Delighting in the Old Testament covers an incredible amount of ground when it comes to helping us understand and apply ‘Jesus’s only Bible.’ Of particular import is how much more attention and care teachers and evangelists should take as we teach the Old Testament. All Christians stand to benefit immensely as they worship their way through this comprehensive and informative text. Feel your heart leap for joy as you see how Jesus heals you of your spiritual disabilities and purchases for you every spiritual blessing!”

“Fears fester and grow in the darkness of the 'what ifs.' But oh! When the light shines! Trillia has good news for all of us who are tempted to live in fear. The what ifs have nowhere to hide from the brilliant 'since God did not spare His own Son' of the gospel. Come bask in the light.”
Finding the Love of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“They say that ‘context is king’ in understanding Scripture, and certainly daughters of the King have a right to know. I love that Elyse’s new book is laser-focused on helping us see the context of God’s big story and how all the pieces fit together.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Every culture in the world has its own counterfeit version of friendship. All of us need the real thing—friendship the way God intended it—but how do we know if what we’ve got is the real thing? In Friend-ish, Needham helps us examine a high definition picture of friendships in American culture, and the floodlight of Scripture shines on every page. This book will help you see things about friendship that you’ve not seen before through the lens of a Scripture-saturated perspective.”
Theology
“I could hardly put this book down—it made my heart sing. God Shines Forth is an immensely joyful and faith-building encouragement to all who love and long to enjoy and participate in God’s mission.”
Christian Living
“Sometimes navigating the advice of others while in the midst of suffering can be an added trial. Powlison puts all of that to rest by giving readers the gospel—showing them the firm foundation of the Word. He puts the compass of God’s Word in our trembling hands and points us to true north: Christ himself.”
Christian Living
“Our teenagers’ valuable attention spans are pulled in different directions, and powerful narratives attempt to explain the world to them. However, there is only one story that deserves their thoughtful consideration and assigns meaning and value to everything they can see and everything they can’t see. Teens need to know this story and the one who wrote it. In a season of life when time seems to stand still, God’s Great Story is a devotional that will help teens get to know the one who stands above time.”
Children & Youth
“As children grow into teenagers, there is also a growing sense of urgency in their parents. There’s so much to say, so much to teach, and still so much to learn. It’s hard to know where to start. Parents can trust that Growing in Godliness will give their teen girls a great place to start in their discipleship. This practical resource is grounded in the gospel and candidly conversational to reach teen girls where they are.”
Fiction
“Faith, purpose, friendship, and hope. These themes and more draw young readers into a world where dreams come to life. Lost in the Caverns adds detail and depth as it carries the saga along with its readers.”
Make the Most of Your Productivity
Christian Living
“Ana Ávila’s enthusiasm for productivity for Jesus’s sake is contagious. She takes into account both our eternally focused goals and our earthbound, creaturely limitations. This book is a refreshing and friendly coach for readers who want to make the most of the time they’ve been given.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Mission Affirmed is immensely practical, challenging, accessible, and hopeful. It is a call to be more thoroughly and thoughtfully biblical about why we do the things we do in missions. All of us— whether pastors or church members, goers or senders—could all benefit from this insightful book.”
