Discipleship in a Post-Christian Age

Discipleship & Christian Education

“With insights from C.S. Lewis and a solid biblical understanding of discipleship, Thiago Silva calls all believers to experience the joy of wholehearted commitment to Jesus. He makes a case for Christians to integrate reason, imagination, and community through the church for a robust heart-and-mind-discipleship which overcomes the secularism, individualism, sexual confusion, and antipathy found within our culture. This is a must read for pastors and all who long to worship our Lord in spirit and in truth.”

The Unknown Garden of Another’s Heart

History & Biography

“If you want to see the meaning of true friendship in action, look no further than this inspiring book written by Joe Kohm! The lifelong, deep, and authentic correspondence between C. S. Lewis and his childhood friend, Arthur Greeves, is described beautifully by Kohm. New insights are here for fans of Lewis, scholars, and all who long for deeper relationships.”

Whitefield on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Avoiding ‘chronological snobbery,’ Schwanda and Maddock’s engaging and well-researched biography masterfully summarizes the immense legacy of George Whitefield to today’s evangelical church. Whitefield, perhaps the first celebrity evangelist, had his personal flaws and struggles. Yet ultimately his commitment to God’s word, his dependence on the Holy Spirit, his evangelical ecumenical mindset, and his desire that sinners like himself discover the new birth in Jesus Christ were used powerfully by God to impact countless people. Read this book and be encouraged to know that God can use you too for his purposes.”

Wrestling with Job

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The father-son duo of Bill and Will Kynes has produced the rare gem in the Christian book world: a study on Job that is full of scholarly insight yet also down to earth and rich in pastoral wisdom and application for pastor and layperson alike. Beautifully written with engaging discussion questions, it's perfect for small groups. While readers may not have all their why questions answered on the issues of suffering and evil, they will be inspired to persevere with Job-like faith and put their hope in the One who sacrificed all to redeem this fallen world.”
