The Church and the Crisis of Community

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Points readers to a rich, Christ-centered vision of koinonia and communion, all the while presenting an insightful account of how to integrate the social sciences into a robustly theological vision. This is a groundbreaking book in the field of practical theology!”

The Pursuing God

Christian Living

“Joshua Ryan Butler heralds a God of extraordinary love who takes us by surprise in the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In vibrant prose, The Pursuing God paints a dramatic, textured, and beautiful portrait of the God who we constantly underestimate. Butler presents Christian doctrine in color and in motion, testifying to a good news that is so much greater than we could have invented ourselves.”

Theology as Discipleship

Theology

“In Theology as Discipleship, Keith Johnson invites readers to inhabit a rich theological landscape as followers of Christ. Johnson's book overflows with wisdom and joy as he shows how Christians of all vocations are called to live in union with Christ, being reshaped by God's Word through the Spirit. This refreshing book is a wonderful theological companion for disciples of Jesus Christ.”

Truth We Can Touch

Theology

“In Truth We Can Touch, Tim Chester makes a compelling case for evangelicals to recover an understanding of baptism and the Lord’s Supper as God’s promise that comes to us in physical form. Deeply biblical and yet eminently practical, this book provides an alternative to a theology of the word limited to our heads. God’s word in Christ comes to us not only in preaching but also in baptism and at the table. As embodied creatures, we embrace God’s promises in touch and taste, with delight and praise. This accessible and winsome book is a joy!”

What Is Jesus Doing?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is not just a collection of academic essays. It's a series of learned meditations on one of the most breathtaking mysteries of the universe: Jesus Christ, the crucified, risen, and ascended Lord, is alive and active today among us by the Holy Spirit. If you are weary of trying to market the church and reinvent it by our human power, be encouraged. The triune God is at work through his Word and Spirit. Together, these essays encourage pastors and church leaders to make a bold move: to discern the triune God's work and enter in, as those who belong to Christ by the Spirit. Read expectantly, with joy.”
