An Impossible Marriage

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In these raw and daring pages, we come face to face with the love of Jesus—a love that aches and bleeds and never lets go. This book is the story of a marriage, yes, but it's also the story of The Marriage between a divine Lover and the bride for whom he died. Whether you're single or married, straight or gay or anything else, there's something of the gospel for you here.”

Breaking the Marriage Idol

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“I've been waiting for someone to write a book like this: a culturally astute, refreshingly iconoclastic critique of evangelical Christianity's marriage myopia. Beyond the shattered remnants of the marriage idol, singleness and marriage emerge as equally and uniquely beautiful vocations within which followers of Christ can steward our sexualities. I'm eager for you to read this book. I'm even more eager for you to believe it.”

Christlike Acceptance across Deep Difference

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In an era when conversations about sexuality so often feel stale and repetitive, this dialogic collection is a breath of fresh air. As I read, I found myself wishing to join the discussion, to ask questions and push back, to cheer and shout ‘amen!’ May many more of our Christian disagreements be as gracious and thought-provoking as this one.”

Emerging Sexual Identities

World Religions

“In an era when so many conversations about sexuality feel hurried and anxious, this book is brilliantly patient. Yarhouse and Sadusky teach us how to slow down and ask better questions at the intersections of psychology, philosophy, and faith—questions that open dialogue with young people instead of shutting them down. This book will be a valuable resource for ministers, care providers, and parents alike.”

Heavy Burdens

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Rivera’s dauntless and nuanced voice fills a significant void in the Christian debate over sexual identity. This book challenged me to think more deeply about the logics that underlie my own convictions. I have a hunch that, no matter where you fall along the spectrum of belief, these provocative pages will challenge you too.”

In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Brave and bighearted, this book is like a series of coffee dates with a much-beloved friend. Colleen generously invites us to journey alongside her, not only through our suffering, but also into the joyous embrace of a Love that exceeds our wildest dreams. Every moment I spend with Colleen—in person and in print alike—leaves me more deeply convinced of the beauty of Jesus.”

Knowing and Being Known

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This wise, timely, and practical book reminds us that real intimacy is far more—and far better—than just sex. Erin's words are a gift to any person, single or married, who longs to cultivate a life of deep relational intimacy. In other words, they are a gift to us all.”

Leading a Church in a Time of Sexual Questioning

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Irenic, compassionate, and pastorally astute, this book is a timely entry in an increasingly antagonistic conversation. Instead of getting lost in debates, Bruce Miller returns us again and again to the Christian necessity of love: love for Christ, love for Scripture, and love for people—all people—regardless of sexual orientation or sexual ethics or sexual expression. I pray that many more church communities with a historic Christian sexual ethic come to resemble the church envisioned in this book.”

Love All Our Neighbors

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A refreshingly hopeful book, at once pastoral and personal. Tony Scarcello does more than simply show where we've gone wrong. He reminds us that the way of Jesus is still good and beautiful news for every single one of our neighbors—and for us.”

Single, Just Because

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Approachable and winsome, Bridget's story is a welcome reminder that—contrary to popular belief—singleness is not a disease in need of remedy. My own journey has been vastly different from Bridget's in many ways, yet the core truth of our experience remains so much the same: no matter how we arrive at singleness or why we stay here, the same God is ready to meet us in our holy aloneness and take great delight in us.”

Still Time to Care

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“paints a charitable yet harrowing portrait of the ex-gay movement and its residual influence on Western evangelicalism. Better still, he reminds us of the world that existed before the ex-gay movement, a world in which following Jesus and pursuing orientation change were never treated as synonymous. Reading this book has deepened both my sorrow over the past and my unswerving hope for the future.”

Twelve Lies That Hold America Captive

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this prophetically pugilistic book, Jonathan Walton has put into words so much of what troubles me about American Christianity. Like the best and most dangerous of interlocutors, Walton says things I'm not sure I agree with, breaks taboos I've been reluctant to break, and makes me think deeply enough to get uncomfortable. I recommend the discomfort of this book to every American seeking to take Jesus seriously today.”

Wait with Me

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In these pages, you won't find an easy solution to the 'problem' of loneliness. What Wait with Me offers instead is far wiser and more daring: an invitation into deeper life with the God who eagerly inhabits our isolation and lingers with us there. For anyone who knows firsthand the slow-bleeding pain of loneliness, this honest and hopeful and paradigm-bending book is worth pondering, worth lingering on.”

When Children Come Out

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This much-needed research is a gift not only to Christian parents of LGBTQ+ kids but also to the communities that love them. In these pages, Christian parents can learn from others with similar experiences and be reminded that they're not alone, and supportive communities can gain insight into the likely milestones of these parents' journeys. As an LGBTQ+ kid who loves my own Christian parents (and many others as well), I'm thrilled to see this book out in the world.”
