7 Lessons for New Pastors, Second Edition

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In 7 Lessons for New Pastors, my friend and colleague Dr. Matthew D. Kim has written a book that will inspire, challenge, and empower a new generation of leaders called by God to ministry in the local church. Honest and vulnerable, accessible and concise, infused with practical know-how and deep reflection, this book is a must-read for every new pastor or seminarian in training. What a gift to the church and the classroom!”

Feels Like Home

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Too many books on pastoral ministry set Christian leaders up to fail by promoting scale over substance, success over faithfulness. Not so in Lee Eclov's Feels Like Home. In this excellent book, Pastor Lee reminds ministry leaders that their job is not to be CEOs of successful companies, but to lead a family of believers with Christlike love. Let this book teach, inspire, and challenge you as it did me. Most of all, let it remind you that God calls every Christian leader to be a "homemaker."”

More Than a Sermon

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Too many books on preaching promote style over substance, success over faithfulness. Thankfully, More than a Sermon gives us a more excellent way.”

Preaching God's Grand Drama

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Too many homiletics books frustrate readers with predictable and played out hermeneutical scripts, such as the preacher-as-exalted-interpreter or the preacher-as-humiliated-subject. Thankfully, Ahmi Lee breaks free from these flat and stale patterns of description. Preaching God’s Grand Drama offers us a better script, a fresher performance than the typical proposals, one that holds promise for preachers and for preaching both now and in the future.”

Preaching the Manifold Grace of God, Volume 1

Preaching & Worship

“In volume 1 of Preaching the Manifold Grace of God, Ronald J. Allen and his team of collaborators give a gift to the church and the academy that will bless both communities for years to come. Now more than ever, we need resources that help us name our theologies and better understand the rich diversity in theological traditions. This wonderful book helps us do both. Already excited for volume 2.”

Preaching to a Divided Nation

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In such a polarizing and fractious time, Christian preachers need resources that bridge divides and remind us that God makes a way out of no way. Thankfully, Kim and Hoffman’s timely new book gives us both. Preaching to a Divided Nation is grounded in theory, saturated with Scripture, centered on the gospel, informed by practice, and infused with hope. Job well done!”

The Art of Preaching Old Testament Poetry

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Steven D. Mathewson is a gifted preacher (thirty-seven years) and teacher of preachers (twenty-five years). He knows how much skill and wisdom it takes to preach Old Testament poetry. Thankfully, in this excellent book he shows us how to do it and do it well. Job well done, Dr. Mathewson!”

The Digital Pulpit

Preaching & Worship

“In The Digital Pulpit, Sunggu Yang and his team of collaborators give pastors and professors exactly what we need: fresh homiletical ideas for preaching in a digital age. COVID-19 changed everything. We can no longer pretend as if nothing happened. In this wonderful book, homileticians from around the world equip us for our new normal through providing rich theological reflection, practical case studies, engagement with the latest literature on our digital world, and so much more.”

The Kerygmatic Spirit

Preaching & Worship

“Many of today’s best preachers know how to be timeless and timely. In The Kerygmatic Spirit, Amos Yong strikes that balance. His sermons bring together profound truths and accessible language, faithfulness to the text and to the modern context, appeals to the mind with appeals to the heart and the will. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Yong’s example reminds us that our preaching is better when we theologize, and our theology is better when we preach.”
