10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity

Children & Youth

“Young people might not always articulate their questions about life. But they are wondering. 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity can help them both express and satisfy their emerging questions and longings. We wish we’d had this book when we were raising our children! But now we can give it away—confidently—starting with our own grandchildren.”

Discipling

Christian Living

“With simple yet profound insights, Mark Dever takes Jesus’s final command to make disciples and teaches us what that means for us and for our churches. By answering our questions—the why, the what, the where, and the how of discipling—Pastor Mark coaches us in how to follow Christ by helping others to follow him, to know the truth, and to live it well. Every follower of Christ needs to read this book! It’s the best book I’ve ever read on discipling.”

Fear and Faith

Christian Living

“Trillia Newbell digs deep down into our feminine hearts to expose the roots of our fears—roots of pride and unbelief and covetousness. And then she helps us face into those fears as she carefully applies the words of our faithful God who encourages us to 'Fear not!' This book is full of wisdom and truth that you will want to return to time and again.”

Feelings and Faith

Christian Living

“Here is a readable but comprehensive study that unites in biblical friendship the Christian's theology and experience. With the heart of a pastor, Brain Borgman offers an emotional life line that will stabilize your heart and support your faith. Faith and Feelings needs to be in your personal library. I will return to it time and again-so will you!”

Good News for Parents

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Good News for Parents offers wise remedies for the inevitable fears parents face. This book is not a list of how-tos but a biblical vision of how God provides the guidance we need. Through a careful explanation of the fruit of the Spirit, enriched with poems and prayers, Adam Griffin helps us relax and trust Christ with the results of our parenting. His message is clear: We are not the center of it all—Jesus is. And that is truly good news for every parent!”

Happily Even After

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“At last! A book that clears a pathway through the mess of exposed sexual secrets. In Happily Even After, noted author Dannah Gresh provides both the biblical truth and clinical evidence needed to win back the trust lost during the trauma of marital betrayal. This book is an invaluable resource, written from personal experience, for any who have lived through deception and disloyalty in their marriage, as well as for all those who long to offer hope to others hurting in this way. Every pastor and counselor—indeed, every spouse—will benefit from Dannah's timely and tender book. Buy it. Keep it on hand. And use it to offer the miracle of redemption to those who feel abandoned and unlovable but who, through Christ, can once again hope to live happily—even after.”

How to Thrive as a Pastor's Wife

Christian Living

“In How to Thrive as a Pastor’s Wife, Christine Hoover lovingly frees us from the trap of trying to live up to a title. She understands our specific calling as pastors’ wives and speaks directly to our significant role in kingdom work. She writes with authentic vulnerability about the distinctive temptations faced in ministry marriages—from bitterness to blaming to burnout—always pointing back to our kind King who will faithfully provide for each of our needs. Read her biblical advice and, for the sake of our marriages and ministries, learn to thrive as pastor wives!”

Joyfully Spreading the Word

Evangelism & Missions

“At heart, I’m a hesitant evangelist—and I don’t like that. ‘What should I say? How should I say it? Who would listen?’ That’s why I can heartily recommend Joyfully Spreading the Word. This theologically sound, guilt-free book answers those questions. Through a collection of stories and a variety of role models, it inspires readers with both the privilege and the urgency of the biblical mandate to go and share ‘the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus’ (2 Tim. 3:15). Read it, use it, and see if God won’t indeed prove through your life that his Word will not return empty, but will accomplish that which he purposes (Isa. 55:11).”

Loving Your Adult Children

Christian Living

“Our friend Gaye Clark has written a wise book on a weighty topic—long-term parental love. With engaging illustrations and biblical examples, Clark helps us care for our adult children more meaningfully. And even better, she helps us look to our Father God as we love our adult children. We—and they—are not alone in this journey.”

On Our Way Home

Christian Living

“On Our Way Home gently guides us in how to think through the complex questions confronting us in our inevitable suffering this side of heaven. A gifted author, Colleen Chao illuminates God's soul-sustaining promises to His children as we journey home. With stories from Plato to Anne of Green Gables, from John Flavel to J. I. Packer, Colleen tenderly invites us to accept one of the sweetest gifts of suffering—'a coveted invitation into more of Christ.' If you've ever been worried or wearied over the darkness and disappointments you live in, On Our Way Home is for you.”

The Love of Loves in the Song of Songs

Christian Living

“After reading The Love of Loves in the Song of Songs, I will never read this biblical book in the same way again. Ryken skillfully weaves into each passage God’s wisdom about both the magnificence of human marriage and the romance of our redemption. I can’t think of any Christian—single or married—who wouldn’t benefit from this book.”

Who Do You Think You Are?

Christian Living

“With his characteristic pastoral wisdom, Mark Driscoll offers us theologically deep and emotionally satisfying insights into our true identity in Christ. Who Do You Think You Are? exposes our false views of God and of ourselves. It opens up powerful encouragements that can change your biography into a timeless testimony about who you really are in Christ.”
