A Hunger for More

Christian Living

“This is a worship-inducing read. With both deep theology and winsome devotion, Amy lifts our gaze onto our wondrous and good God. A Hunger for More is a nourishing feast and a balm for weary readers.”

A Place for You

Women

“This is the book I have been waiting for—for myself, for my daughters, for my friends. Reading it was like sitting down with a wise sister in the faith and diving deeply into what the Bible says about us as women. It turns out, contrary to many narratives in our world (and sometimes in the church), women are created with dignity, value, and essential purposes in the spheres where God has placed us. There is a place for you—a necessary role for every one of us—in our homes, in our churches, in our culture. Kendra Dahl writes with clarity, conviction, and compassion and I genuinely want every woman and teen girl I know to read this book.”

Behold and Believe

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This seven-week Bible study is true nourishment for the soul. Each week and each ‘I am’ statement of Jesus allows the reader to know her Savior better. This is a feast—whether you’re seeing Jesus for the first time or have known him for most of your life. I cannot wait to do this study with the women from my local church.”

Charlie and the Preschool Prodigal

Children & Youth

“The Father who runs out to both sons. The Father who delights in the younger and the older, the wild and the tidy, each and every one of us. I’m so thankful Ginger Blomberg has written this story so that even the youngest sons and daughters can begin to understand the unmerited and lavish love of the Father.”

Created to Play

Christian Living

“As a productivity addict, I needed this book. Brianna Lambert unveiled for me the goodness of play, gently rebuking my tendency to view play as indulgent, extra, something for later when the entire to-do list is complete. But it turns out, play isn't just a gift given by God for us to enjoy him, his creation, and one another—it's also a necessity. We don't talk about play much in the church today. I'm so glad Brianna is.”

Demystifying Decision-Making

Christian Living

“In the modern and wealthy West, we all know the paralyzing power of endless choice. Our cultural mantra that we are self-made causes decision-making to be all the more intimidating. Aimee Joseph gives us both a theological framework and practical steps for making good choices. This book will serve anyone who has to make any decision—all of us! And it will be especially helpful to those who help others make decisions: pastors, professors, counselors, friends, and mentors. I love Joseph’s prioritization of the character and goodness of our God, the reliability of his word, and the unshakable grace on which we stand when we make choices both large and small. Her words are both a bulwark and a comfort, pointing us to God’s eternal wisdom and matchless grace.”

Dwell Differently

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Vera and Natalie’s words feel like wise counsel from a kind friend. I will eagerly commend this book to my own teen daughters and my friends who are new to following Jesus. But it’s not only for the young or the young in faith. Those who have walked with Christ for decades will also be deeply encouraged by this book and the timeless practice of abiding in God’s Word. No Christian is ever too young or too old to dwell differently in God’s truth.”

Free to Weep

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Free to Weep is both memoir and theology, making it a powerful and personal read, sure to leave a mark on every reader. Brittany offers us an intimate and vulnerable glimpse of her own suffering. She shares her own battles, hard fought but beautifully and tenderly won, through abiding, believing, and trusting in our God who grieves over suffering. Brittany clears up many common misunderstandings about God's view and our view on grief and healing. The personal stories combined with powerful doctrine make this book one I will eagerly pass on to my own loved ones who suffer. I know God will meet them on these pages.”

Go and Do Likewise

Christian Living

“I was challenged by this book in the best ways. Each chapter quickened my heart to Christ’s. Amy DiMarcangelo reminded me of the real words and deeds and calling of my Savior. That alone was so encouraging. But then she showed me how to go and do likewise in my own life and context. This book is both worshipful and practical. It can feel overwhelming to see the needs of the world and not know how to engage. But I ended the book with both the peace of my sovereign Savior and the urgency of his call to go. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, start here.”

Hebrews

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Lydia Brownback’s Flourish Bible Study series has been a huge gift to the women’s ministry in my local church. Many of our groups have gone through her studies in both the Old and New Testaments and have benefited greatly. The Flourish Bible Study series is now my go-to for a combination of rich Bible study, meaningful personal application, and practical group interaction. I recommend them whenever a partner in ministry asks me for quality women’s Bible study resources. I’m so thankful Brownback continues to write them and share them with us!”

It Takes More Than Love

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“As a cross-cultural adoptive mom, I wish I had had this book when we adopted over a decade ago. I will be giving it to all our adoptive friends plus those who love and support them. This is a rich resource for not only the adoptive family, but for their entire community. Brittany speaks from years of experience and education—she's a seasoned mom as well as a strong and gracious advocate for first moms and adopted children. She centers the right stories and the right wisdom. The adoption community has needed this book for far too long. I'm so glad to have it now.”

Kinda Judgy

Christian Living

“Shannon Popkin writes with truthful precision, helping readers see our tendency to judge others and even have contempt for those with whom we disagree. She calls on stories from Scripture and everyday life to hold up a mirror that, I admit, I didn't want to gaze into for too long. I was convicted as I read. At the same time, Shannon rightly makes much of the lavish grace and mercy our Father in heaven eagerly gives to those who come to the end of ourselves. I was moved again and again by Jesus' compassion for sinners like me. In our current cancel culture, this book is a needed exhortation, especially for Christians, to remind us that every single human deserves dignity and no one is too far gone. As we have received mercy, so may we eagerly pass it on.”

Our Good Crisis

Christian Living

“Our Good Crisis is a compass, drawing the reader back to our true north, to God himself. As we walk across the ever-changing landscape of our age, Dodson reminds us of the never-changing goodness of the Beatitudes. God in heaven is the source of virtue, of all that's good, of the very remedy needed for the crises we see in the world and in ourselves. This meditation on the Beatitudes will nourish your soul and exhort you to walk with Jesus, living out his kingdom here on earth, by the power of his Spirit.”

Reactivity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Paul David Tripp offers not only an accurate and sobering diagnosis of our day, but also a hope-filled treatment plan so that we might get better. Tripp rightly addresses the church—the rage is not just out there, it’s in here too. And he rightly reminds us of the gospel. By the end of the book I felt a renewed peace in our good and sovereign God, as well as a renewed drive to honor the Lord online, in person, and in my own heart.”

Stand Up, Stand Strong

Children & Youth

“In Stand Up, Stand Strong Sara Barratt thinks deeply through some of the toughest issues of our day. She offers her readers a biblical lens through which to view this cultural moment—a lens that is shaped not only by truth, but also by grace. Both reason and humility are on these pages. I love that Sara is willing to go here and would love to see more Christians do the same.”

Strong in the Lord

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“This devotion is an excellent reset for the woman who has come to the end of herself. It’s so easy to pursue self-sufficiency, but those of us who have gone that route know we fall short. We are limited and weak, in need of a strength that’s outside ourselves. Strong in the Lord reminds us that our weakness is a gift because it leads us to true strength found in God alone. Take this book and the armor of God and receive his strength.”
