Short Answers to Big Questions about God, the Bible, and Christianity
Christian Living
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Apologetics
“Brilliant Bishop Wright is one of God’s best gifts to our decaying Western church...”
Singing and the Imagination of Devotion
Preaching & Worship
“England's Reformers, Anglican generally and Puritans in particular through the seventeeth century, valued sacred song as a devotional mountaintop. Dr. Brown has written a masterful exploration of the theology, psychology and spirituality which that estimate expressed.”
Sometimes It Causes Me to Tremble
Fiction
“The jolting story of a mainline minister who dares to be real. Guaranteed to keep you reading!”
Teaching the Faith, Forming the Faithful
Discipleship & Christian Education
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Evangelism & Missions
“Christianity is for sharing, and Christians who love their neighbor want to do that persuasively. Pizzazz-free and nonmanipulative, Metzger's training manual on helping people to care about truth and face the truth about Jesus is first class of its kind.”
Preaching & Worship
Foreword
“Hail to you, Bishop Mole! Ratty salutes you! Accidental Anglican you may be, but it is real, rich Anglicanism that you perceive and pursue. May your ministry among us be gloriously blessed.”
The American Pietism of Cotton Mather
History & Biography
“. . . the first book in our time to do justice to Mather as a latter-day Puritan and shaper of American religion.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Vintage Stott, with all that that implies. In it, as usual, we find him digesting and deploying a wide range of material with a symmetry matching that of Mozart, a didactic force like that of J. C. Ryle, and a down-to-earth common sense that reminds us of G. K. Chesterton. It is really a pastoral essay, a sermon on paper aimed at changing people . . . an outstandingly good book.”
Theology
“John Stott rises grandly to the challenge of the greatest of all themes. All the qualities that we expect of him—biblical precision, thoughtfulness and thoroughness, order and method, moral alertness and the measured tread, balanced judgment and practical passion—are here in fullest evidence. This, more than any book he has written, is his masterpiece.”
History & Biography
“Bright, breezy, and wearing his learning lightly, historian Catherwood has crafted a most illuminating cross-sectional review of the global evangelical movement as it is today. I found it unputdownable; I think many others will too.”
Women
“The Gospel of Ruth sparkles with cultural insights and contemporary illustrations that bring the biblical story of Ruth into direct contact with the lives of women in the twenty-first century. Robert H. Gundry Scholar-in-Residence and Professor Emeritus, Westmont College, Santa Barbara, California Carolyn Custis James refuses to reduce Ruth to a pretty story with a nice moral lesson. Instead, she makes this ancient woman of faith come alive for women — and men — today. A work of theological insight and practical Christian wisdom. Timothy George Founding Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and a senior editor of Christianity Today The Gospel of Ruth is indeed Good News as Carolyn Custis James writes compellingly of the essential importance of women — and men — in God’s redemptive plan. Carla Foote Editor of FullFill magazine Carolyn James reinterprets the story of Naomi and Ruth from a romance novel into what its author intended: life-transforming, character-building biographies. This is so because Carolyn allows the harsh fate and profound love rooted in faith of these gutsy women to interpret her own narrative of trials trumped by her trust in God’s sovereignty, goodness, and love. Bruce Waltke Professor of Old Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary (Orlando) and Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Regent College This surprising examination of Ruth reveals so much more treasure than we thought this book held — reminding us of God’s presence and work in troubled times. Amy Simpson Executive Director, Leadership Media Group, Christianity Today International Carolyn James provides a compelling and riveting reading of the book of Ruth that reveals its grace-full message and will change your assumptions about Ruth as well as Naomi and Boaz. Even more, this book will challenge your preconceptions about the relationships between men and women. I strongly encourage women and men to read this book. Tremper Longman III Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College Carolyn Custis James’ journey through Ruth breathed courage into me, to show me that I am most feminine when I own the gifts God has given me, when I partner with my brothers in Christ, when I trust Ruth’s example that when strong men meet strong women, both masculinity and femininity become mightier. I want to be like Ruth, a woman who lived in bold, innovative, risky love of Yahweh, a woman who encountered a strong Boaz and coupled her mind with his to show the world more of what God is like. The Gospel of Ruth will remind you that God is stunningly good for women. Jonalyn Grace Fincher Author | Apologist | Speaker Carolyn James has made the story of Ruth come alive in new ways for women — and for men! — who live in today’s complex and confusing world. This is a marvelous book that offers much wisdom and inspiration for all of us. Richard J. Mouw President and Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary I have not read (nor, I expect, have you) a more discerning, humbling, thought-provoking, God-honoring, life-enhancing treatment of Ruth than this one. It makes an outstandingly fruitful study for believers of all ages and both genders.”
The Jesus I Never Knew Study Guide
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Yancey’s flair for honest, vivid, well-informed down-to-earthness gives piercing power to these broodings on the gospel facts about Jesus Christ. In a day when novel ideas about Jesus are all the rage, Yancey’s pages offer major help for seeing the Savior as he really was.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Following in the footsteps of the late great Francis Schaeffer, two leading scholars here give wide-ranging guidance on how today we may show we are Christians by our love.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In solidly scriptural fashion a veteran pastor here explains how the local church through its leaders can become the community of peace and safety that it is called to be rather than the hotbed of hostilities that it too often is. This is a very salutary book on a very sensitive subject.”
Christian Living
“If any smoothing of Bunyan’s seventeenth-century language plus new colored pictures can set The Pilgrim’s Progress aglow in the hearts of today’s young readers, this lovely book will surely do it.”
The Psalms as Christian Lament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this volume Bruce Waltke, James Houston, and Erika Moore cover a selection of psalms that strikingly combine sadness and sorrow with faith and hope. . . . Masterful exegesis here blends with luminous theological perspectives and pastoral insights.”
The Psalms as Christian Praise
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Masterful exegesis here blends with luminous theological perspectives and pastoral insights.”
