“Evangelical workers once helped to power the rise of the labor movement—and precisely because the Bible told them to do so. In A Working Theology of Labor Adam Gustine makes the case that contemporary believers have much to learn from their example. Drawing not on party politics but on the very best of evangelical theology and biblical study, Gustine underscores why Jesus followers should resist the siren call of upward mobility and instead rejoin the fight for economic justice. A timely and compelling read.”
History & Biography
“In her day, Elisabeth Elliot was one of the most formidable women in all the world. This thoughtfully crafted biography tells the unlikely story of how a missionary kid became an American evangelical icon. Lucy S. R. Austen’s eye for what made Elliot both remarkable and human renders this book an especially compelling read.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In an era dominated by clickbait headlines and disingenuous proof texts, Cruz's Faithful Politics is a breath of fresh air.

Faithful Witness in a Fractured World
Christian Living
“The dysfunction of our contemporary political scene is so overwhelming that it would be easy for Christians to throw up their hands in despair. But this timely book outlines a more faithful way forward. In the stories of a great cloud of witnesses—past and present, well-known and obscure—Johnson and Snarr find not only reasons for hope but also practical wisdom for the journey. This is an important read not just for individual believers but also for small groups and entire church communities.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In this book, Fea offers trustworthy answers to some of the most pressing questions that Americans are asking about the role that Christianity played in the founding of the United States. With deliberation and care, Fea sorts through all-too-prevalent myths and distortions, orienting readers to what the historical record actually shows. At a moment when our public discourse is often oriented toward heat rather than light, In God We Trust opens an illuminating window onto both past and present.”

Ordinary Heroes of Racial Justice
History & Biography

With all the care of a great historian and all the wisdom of a committed believer, she recounts true stories about imperfect people who nevertheless did the small faithful thing right in front of them—and to remarkable effect. Readers will find here not only a trustworthy window into the past but also sparks of inspiration toward a more faithful future.”
Theology
“This book could not be more timely. Helmut Gollwitzer's brilliant reflections on Christianity's implications for a world in crisis have been forgotten. In recovering Gollwitzer's life and witness, McMaken intervenes deftly into our own moment, offering contemporary believers an array of provocative insights into the most faithful way forward. This is a must read for anyone interested in the intersection of theology and public life.”
