Becoming Whole

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Why aren't Christians making more progress at becoming whole? The economic systems that shape our daily lives have been warped to keep us broken, so the world can exploit our brokenness. No one has done more to open our eyes to this, and show us what we can do about it, than Brian Fikkert . This book is a perfect way to start—or continue—the eye-opening process that we all so desperately need if we want to become whole.”

Reformation Theology

Theology

“Nothing would benefit American evangelicals more than a real rediscovery of the Reformation—not a superficial regurgitation of the familiar talking points but a powerful, experiential encounter with the learned depth, wisdom, humility, piety, and practical know-how of our Reformation forefathers. A volume like the one Dr. Matthew Barrett has put together is a big step in the right direction.”

Roman Catholic Theology and Practice

Theology

“Protestants and Catholics need to invent a new kind of relationship. The fire and sword of the Reformation era were unworthy of Christ; so were the desperate efforts of irresponsible leaders in the past century to deny that we ever really disagreed. Can we preach different views of the gospel and still love each other? If so, how do we understand that relationship, spiritually and ecclesially? With a systematic thoroughness worthy of Thomas Aquinas himself, Gregg Allison lays out the theological issues at stake. He provides a full overview of the questions that face us, and his commitment to fully love his Catholic neighbors while fully speaking the truth to them shows us how to handle our disagreements in a manner worthy of Christ. This book will reward the careful study it invites.”

Shalom Yesterday, Today, and Forever

Theology

“What is real flourishing? Few questions shape our way of life so deeply. With bracing rigor, Mark DeVine shows the heretical tendencies of the too-easy answers, summoning us to sharpen our mental tools and think carefully about the place of shalom in the work of God. This book draws on Scripture to force us to stop in our tracks and reconsider cherished assumptions about things near and dear to us, and that’s a rare gift.”

Stewards of the Earth

History & Biography

“Stewardship of creation is central to the image of God, and in the modern world one of our toughest ethical dilemmas is how to manage humanity’s environmental impact. Stewards of the Earth is both a fascinating window into fifty years of evangelicalism groping with this problem and an invitation to fresh thinking about this important dilemma.”

The Economics of Neighborly Love

Work, Money & Leadership

“This desperately needed book shows that a concern for fruitfulness—relational and vocational—is a deep pattern running through Scripture, literally from beginning to end. Fruitfulness in all our work and relationships is essential to discipleship to Jesus Christ, which is at the heart of the identity and mission of God's people. Tom Nelson has done both the church and the world an extraordinary service by giving it the fruitful gift of this book.”

Transforming Vocation

Work, Money & Leadership

“Reconnecting theological knowledge to what people actually do with most of their waking hours is the essential challenge of our time for academic theology, for the local church, and for Christians in their workplaces. This volume contributes on all three fronts. . . . Timely and informative . . . scholarly and rigorous.”

Work and Worship

Christian Living

“Nothing is more important for the local church today than to reconnect our Sunday services with our work on Monday so our whole lives can be an act of worship. This wise, accessible, and learned book is a magnificent gift to all who seek insight—theological and practical—on how to do that well. I’ll be recommending this book for years to come.”

Worth Doing

Work, Money & Leadership

“This rich, thoughtful, and practical book will transform your perspective on your daily work. Its theology of working within our God-given limits is desperately needed in this technological age of endless demands and demolished boundaries. And it insists that we must take the fall seriously—a much-needed corrective to naive optimism and not a moment too soon. Outstanding!”
