Marriage and the Counsel of God

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Marital dissolution continues to be an increasing characteristic of our society. In large measure, this situation is due to a lack of sound preparation for marriage and--from a Christian perspective--a paucity of resources marked by theological depth and serious biblical study. Eschelbach has produced a book that embodies both of these traits. I am confident that his work will contribute to the great need for Christian marriage education.”

Martin Luther as Prophet, Teacher, and Hero

History & Biography

“Robert Kolb's study of changing interpretations of Luther's life and work is a valuable contribution to Luther studies. In particular, it demonstrates the impact of Luther on German theological thinking since the sixteenth century.”

Pastoring the Small Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Pastoring the Small Church is a reminder that the insights of a small church pastor can carry just as much credibility, if not more.”

Stockdale Paradox Christianity

Christian Living

“Stockdale Paradox Christianity is a bold and timely call for the church to rediscover its prophetic voice in an age of compromise. With clarity, conviction, and spiritual grit, it challenges believers to face the hard truths of our cultural moment without losing faith in God’s ultimate victory. Drawing from the powerful example of Admiral James Stockdale, this book urges Christians to combine unshakable hope with honest self-examination—and to stand courageously for the truth when the world demands surrender. Every pastor, leader, and believer who longs to see the church regain her strength and integrity should read this.”

The Art of Pastoring

Church Leadership & Ministry

“One of the most vexing questions students and graduates face centers on pastoral identity. Complicating this, most parishioners have no idea what are realistic expectations. David Hansen's The Art of Pastoring gives concise, centering answers. It is a pastoral theology drawn from years of pastoral experience, and it brings back into focus what a pastor is truly called to be and do. It is a much-needed corrective in a day pastors have succumbed to being therapists, CEOs or artists. It belongs in the curriculum of any school serious about training pastors.”

Uncharted Leadership

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Angie Ward has made a significant contribution to leadership studies. Looking back on twenty years of teaching leadership at a seminary, I wish I had such a resource to prepare my students for the realities of ministry. Uncharted Leadership also would have been a great help for my years as a pastoral leader. To survive and succeed, especially in these times, leaders need the guidance of these case studies. The questions and commentary invite the reader to engage and wrestle with each one. There is so much wisdom in the core themes Ward identifies in the conclusion. This is a necessary read for anyone courageous enough to step into ministry and determined to create and sustain a healthy environment.”
