Christian Living
“Is it possible to be thoroughly happy while also accepting the difficulties that life inevitably brings? Joy Clarkson answers a remarkable and resounding yes, an answer that includes such things as Pride and Prejudice, scones, Harry Potter, agonized doubts, Korean boy bands, and—most importantly—the Gospels.”

History & Biography
“Wordsworth famously wrote, ‘The Child is father of the Man.’ To better understand C. S. Lewis’s tremendous achievements later in life—as a writer of imaginative fiction and poetry, a literary critic, and a Christian apologist—we should look to his formative years. Harry Lee Poe’s Becoming C. S. Lewis is a valuable contribution to biographies of Lewis, providing a rich and comprehensive look at Lewis’s early years and his important relationships with figures such as his brother, Warren Lewis, his friend Arthur Greeves, and his tutor W. T. Kirkpatrick.”
Theology
“This is a book that lives up to its title, and will be a useful resource for any Catholic with Protestant friends or colleagues - and vice versa. It invites the reader to explore these often contentious issues with respect for both perspectives, and with genuine hope for resolution and reunion.”
Arts & Literature
“A valuable and insightful guide for readers who are ready to take a spiritual journey through Lewis' Narnia series. DeLorenzo has gathered stellar authors here to illuminate the spiritual truths in each of the chronicles. Readers will discover many theological treasures in Narnia through their reading of this volume and gain a deeper appreciation of Lewis' literary gifts as well.”
Apologetics
“Far too many young people abandon Christianity as they enter their teenage years, and all too often, families struggle with how to help their children sustain their faith into adulthood. In this thoughtful and insightful book, Cameron McAllister and Stuart McAllister present a solid framework for personal spiritual formation and developing the culture of the home that provides conditions for robust and lasting faith. There are no quick fixes offered here, and that's all to the good; instead, the son-and-father writers provide a model of how to do the hard, necessary, and rewarding work of discipleship in the family.”
History & Biography
“From the Kippah to the Cross takes the reader on a remarkable journey. It is a witness to the persistent and transformative love of Christ, and gives readers valuable insight into the unique difficulties and questions of Jewish seekers and converts.”
Arts & Literature
“Donald Catchings’s poetic and reflective companion to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a useful resource for parents and teachers to help children draw out the spiritual insights of Lewis’s classic tale, and to model creative responses to literature.”
Arts & Literature
“The clear, evocative language of Mosley’s poetry invites us and enables us to enter into the liturgical year as a lived experience, far more than just dates on a calendar. Readers will find much to savor in this collection.”
History & Biography
“Sally Read brings to her memoir a poet's sensitivity to language, imagery, and emotion. Her vivid, evocative scenes of life in Rome, London, and elsewhere help to show that conversion involves the whole of a person: intellect, emotions, relationships. This well-written account will be of interest to skeptics and believers alike.”
Apologetics
“In Reimagining Apologetics, Justin Bailey makes a valuable contribution to the development of apologetics as an endeavor that does justice to the complexity of the human experience. Both his theoretical exploration of the functioning of imagination in the work of apologetics and his consideration of the work of George MacDonald and Marilynne Robinson show that there is much of value to be gained from an approach that takes seriously the role of literary and imaginative engagement in the presentation of the Christian faith.”
Fiction
“In our contentious cultural climate, reasonable, friendly dialogue on important issues is becoming a lost art. Through his characters, Peter Kreeft offers a thoughtful and fair-minded exploration of the differing views on the Eucharist among Anglicans, Catholics, and Evangelical Protestants, and in the process, models how to discuss a difficult topic in a gracious and friendly manner.”
Arts & Literature
“A valuable guide. Pearce's thoughtful commentary is particularly helpful for works with darker themes such as Othello, Wuthering Heights, and The Power and the Glory, and offering fresh insights into beloved works such as A Christmas Carol.”
Christian Living
“Johnston’s readers have reason to be pleased with his new work that highlights the cultural impact of the Christian faith. Of particular relevance are the sections on eugenics, slavery, and racism, and the historic historic Christian rejection of these evils. May we take his words to heart in our day.”
