A Heart for the City

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I am excited about this new tool, written by many of my longtime good friends and colleagues in the Christian Community Development movement. Ministry to the poor must be built upon sound practical wisdom that has been developed on the community level. With the expertise of time-tested veterans, this book helps to close the gap between the academician and the practitioner.”

A Heart for the Community

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There is a new awakening in the Christian community, and this book represents the voices of that awakening.”

A Journey to Victorious Praying

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Bill Thrasher's book A Journey to Victorious Praying was a personal inspiration to me, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to the whole church and to anyone who desires to bring their prayer life to a new level.”

A Passionate Commitment

Christian Living

“One of the most important and timely books written for Christians in our generation. Crawford's passion for service becomes contagious as he interweaves biblical principles for commitment and purposeful living around many of the important issues we face today. I highly recommend this book to any Christian serious about a dynamic walk of faith.”

Being White

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Being White is a book that everyone should read. It's a book that whites in particular need to read to have a better understanding of the struggles of minorities.”

Church for the Fatherless

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The holistic gospel message calls the church to care for making people and communities whole in the power of the Spirit. In a society where fatherlessness is rampant, the church must bear the good news by fathering those without dads. Pastor Mark Strong is not simply noting the pressing problem of fatherlessness--he's providing solutions. In our post-civil rights generation, I am greatly encouraged to find leaders like him spending themselves for the rights and needs of a generation without fathers. May this book inspire you and your church to join him in the struggle.”

Afterword

(wrote the afterword)

Drinking from the Wells of New Creation

Theology

“Dearborn provides us with the gift of deep insight into the heart of God and the ways of the Spirit to open our eyes, our hearts, our homes, and our lives to God and others. Through profound theological reflection interwoven with compelling stories, this book draws us into God's healing love and new creation. I pray God uses this great book to release the vision of Amos to which I've dedicated my life.”

Emotionally Healthy Discipleship

Discipleship & Christian Education

“This is a book that must be read by the church, a word that has to get out. The world is becoming urban and multi-ethnic, and this book shows us the way to build healthy and effective churches in those communities.”

Encounter God in the City

Evangelism & Missions

“Cities are to be loved. Living, learning and loving the city makes a huge difference in personal transformation as well as ministry. Randy White's Encounter God in the City is biblical, practical and full of beautiful stories. An important read for all followers of Jesus.”

Incarnate

Church Leadership & Ministry

“God has always desired to have his presence with us--the wholeness of his presence in and among us. It is sin that interrupts that presence. But in redemption that interruption has been removed. Incarnate will take the Christian community to the cutting edge of where the Spirit of God is pulling us to go. It is a significant book for a significant time.”

Knowing God

Christian Living

“Knowing God is must reading for any Christian who is serious about their faith. While it is theology, it is practical, and while it is profound, it is easy reading. I highly recommend it.”

La Biblia en 30 minutos

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“This is an important and meaningful book at this moment in our history. It can be helpful in understanding the big story of Scripture, and I pray it would be useful to many. I would encourage the greater public, particularly those who love the Bible, to read The 30-Minute Bible.”

Live the Questions

Christian Living

“Over the years, I have had so many questions of God. How long will injustice go on? Where is God in our pain? But my friend Jeff Keuss says that we make our spiritual journey through wrestling with the questions, not just getting easy answers. This book will help you live the questions. If you ask good questions on your knees in prayer listening to God, then God will speak to you. And within his body of the church, together we can transform the world.”

Men of Influence

Men

“Howard and Bill Hendricks' book could not come at a more important time in the history of the church and our nation. There is such a need, especially in the urban communities, for mentors--people who can encourage and challenge our youth and be personal examples of how to live. I strongly recommend this book.”

More Than Equals

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“More Than Equals reminds us that grace is the most powerful expression of God's love. It inspires us to move toward others, affirming the dignity of all human beings, and challenges us to be reconcilers in a deeply broken world. We need this book today more than ever.”
