Agents of Grace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Why would someone who has been wounded by Christians seek to serve and unite our churches? The answer is the grace of God. Dan Darling has written a helpful work calling us, from Scripture, to see unity as a must-have, not a nice-to-have. He’s called us to love not just Christians but those Christians. You know the ones. The ones who look different than you. The ones who think differently than you. The ones who care about different issues than you. I remember once thinking about writing a book called Agents of Unity. I’m delighted Dan has written it for me, and he was right to champion God’s grace as the banner. May we all be agents of that grace so the world will know we follow Jesus (John 13:35).”

In Church as It Is in Heaven

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Conviction, camaraderie, hope—these are just a few things I felt reading In Church as It Is in Heaven. Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones write not as those who have reached the destination but as those inviting us to come along with them on the journey of pursuing multiethnic congregations. Best of all, the book is rooted in Scripture and has a lot of practical advice. It brings a conversation often up in the clouds down to the ground. This is a welcome and welcoming guide for all those eager to show the world we are Jesus' disciples by the way we love one another.”

Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy

Christian Living

“Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy isn’t written by an abstract theorist tucked away in an ivory tower. Rather it’s written by a pastor in one of the most politically, ethnically, and culturally diverse cities in the world, which means it’s written by a pastor who regularly sees redeemed sinners come into conflict. And yet, as Dunlop reminds us from Scripture, God can redeem even these conflicts for his great glory. If that seems downright impossible to believe, welcome to the club. And yet in this club, Dunlop’s voice insistently reminds us that with God all things are possible. We should borrow his hope. We should read this book. After all, if everyone were like you at church, church might be easy, but it wouldn’t be glorious. Here is a work that exhorts us toward the glorious while shepherding us through the pains of the inglorious. Let us gratefully receive and read it!”
