A Meal with Jesus

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Tim Chester has a keen ability to reflect on gospel, community, and mission, making them accessible to the common person through the mess and movement of everyday life. Tim certainly accomplished this again in A Meal with Jesus. With each meal, my convictions about how the gospel informs all of life and relationships went deeper, and my affections for Jesus grew stronger. I want everyone in my church to read this book.”

Gospel-Centered Discipleship

Christian Living

“With all of the talk of gospel-centeredness these days, I’m thankful to see Jonathan unpack this topic with a clear, compelling, Spirit-empowered approach. He goes beyond just answering the question What is gospel-centered? to help us see how the gospel of grace really works in the details of everyday life. His clarification of the unhealthy divide between evangelism and discipleship will bring about a more holistic approach to gospel-centered discipleship. I know Jonathan and respect the fact that these are not just concepts or theories, but truths coming out of the practice of his own disciple-making ministry. I trust that this book will serve to further advance the work of discipleship that has the gospel of grace as its foundation.”

Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel

Christian Living

“Far too many people have been reading the Bible visually impaired, missing the beauty of the expansive landscape of the good news of Jesus Christ. Sadly, they either burden themselves with a crushing load of guilt, shame, or performance-driven expectations, or they walk away never having taken in the life-giving beauty of Jesus when they consider key themes of Scripture. Ben's work reveals the reason so many remain blind to the beauty, while providing a means to begin seeing clearly the treasures of Jesus Christ found in every page of the Bible.”

Stronger Together

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Stronger Together makes a compelling biblical case for the necessity of collaborative gospel partnerships in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. This book is clearly the fruit of many years in the cauldron of learning and losses that produce practical wisdom. I’m grateful for Dave Harvey’s humble and helpful counsel that prompts us to create strong, healthy networks for gospel saturation.”

The Forgotten Ways

Christian Living

Afterword

“I am thankful for how Alan . . . calls us back to what is true of God’s people and prophetically catalyzes us toward a vision for what life looks like when we remember who we are. . . . May our memories be jogged, as our hearts are stirred, to live in the forgotten ways of our Savior, Lord, and King, Jesus Christ!”

The Prodigal Church

Christian Living

“Jared Wilson paints a vivid picture of the grievous outcome of church centered on programmatic pragmatism instead of the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. His critical analysis and probing confrontation, coupled with his personal encounter with grace, has the potential to bring the church to her senses and usher her back to our Father’s restorative embrace. The Prodigal Church is a desperately needed wake-up call.”

The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb

Christian Living

“I have personally witnessed the destructive effects of leading a church in the way of the Dragon. Jamin and Kyle have provided a humble and much-needed prophetic exhortation, both exposing their own brokenness, while drawing from the wisdom of godly leaders who have learned to lead in the way of the Lamb. The church and her leaders desperately need to hear this message and heed its call to follow the Lamb so that we might humbly, gently, and lovingly lead the bride of Christ.”
