Theology

“With his usual crisp, direct style, Jordan Cooper marches through the material of his latest conquest, tackling the place of the law within Lutheran teaching and practice--especially within the context of the pervasive influence of Gerhard Forde. The presentation of evidence is thorough and fair, and while Cooper's conclusions may not shock, where specific theologians are aligned with regard to this debate may well provoke some surprise. I will be recommending this book often.”

Mentioning the Unmentionables

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Yes, this is a book about the threat of sexual sin—its tragic, ready acceptance among Christians, and the fight that should be waged against it. But this book is about much more. In truth, this book is a call for the church to be the church and to live out faithfully and unapologetically the reality that God desires for his creatures. This book needs to be read, and its call heeded.”

Slaves of Christ

Christian Living

“Servants aren’t slaves. We all know this. But we may not know that Christians are called not to be God’s servants, but his slaves. In our contemporary world, this is an unsettling, even shocking idea. So, with steady patience, Pastor Gadeken confronts this hard truth and invites his reader to discover with him the rich freedom of living as the slave of Christ. This is a truth the church needs to hear and heed.”

The Great Divide

Theology

“This book delivers what it promises without getting distracted, overwhelmed, or muted with qualifications. Cooper speaks with clarity and conviction and makes plain the real differences that exist between the Reformed and the Lutheran branches of Reformation faith. The book can be read profitably by anyone committed to biblical fidelity and doctrinal integrity, but especially by those convinced that the differences between Wittenberg and Geneva are trivial and inconsequential, or cause for dismissive condemnations.”

The Quiet Ambition

Christian Living

“Using the wisdom of a scholar, the insight of a pastor, and the practicality of a husband and father, Ryan P. Tinetti sheds bright but warm and tender light on the underappreciated and often maligned path of unambitious ambition. With disarming wit and deft argument, The Quiet Ambition challenges a world and church still thoroughly infected by the criteria of total work to consider the goodness and beauty of a humble and unpretentious life of faithfully following Christ.”
