New Wine Tastings

Theology

“The Institute for the Theology of Culture: New Wine, New Wineskins, from which this volume of essays emerges, is at the cutting edge of today's wholistic ministry movement. And because it's connected to a university and seminary, it's in a great position to challenge future leaders. I am highly impressed.”

Opportunity Leadership

Work, Money & Leadership

“This book is directing you to a level of inspirational leadership that you didn't expect was possible. Incarnational thinking is coming to the end of what you know about something, and you receive the light of the knowledge of God to solve the problem. This book is adding a major leadership principle to our vision. I'm so thankful and encouraged by my dear friend Roger, and his book is something we need to listen to—this book is timely.”

Persevering Power

Christian Living

“I learned the hard lessons of poverty and brokenness from an early age, growing up in Mississippi. I knew that I had dignity, but I also learned that there were systems in place that denied my dignity. I was invisible . . . voiceless . . . without resources. These are the people that my friend Bruce Strom and Administer Justice serve. Persevering Power shares Bruce's journey of self-sacrifice and service to the least of these. His call to look up, look back, look in, and look around is an invitation to everyone to join in this battle for justice. It's a fight worth living and dying for.”

Reconciling All Things

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Reconciliation has become a popular buzz word. But I've learned there are no quick and easy fixes for a broken world. This book takes us deeper. It is fresh, biblical, practical, inspiring and full of hope. The authors themselves embody the vision our world needs--African and American, black and white, Uganda and Mississippi, Protestant and Catholic, joined in common ministry across divides. This book is for all those restless Christians I meet who long for an alternative.”

Recovering Our Sanity

Christian Living

“I like this book a lot. Mike Horton and I are friends. And friendship is what we need a lot more of right now. In this critical moment gripped by fear, we desperately need this message. When we lose a good fear of God, all kinds of bad fears rush in. But when we see other people from God’s perspective, they’re gifts and not threats. This book has come at just the right time.”

Searching for God in Godforsaken Times and Places

“Hubert Locke is a great thinker with many important things to say. In this book he deals with doubt and skepticism in a personal, open, and very creative way. Yet he has much more to say besides. This is a discussion not merely about the challenges of a contemporary world marred by conflict but also of what the church itself is and ought to be. In one of his deepest and most sobering reflections, Locke points out that the church has often been 'a mirror of the world's smaller, narrower prejudices,' not least in the way that the church has lived with and accepted racism as a part of its existence. For Locke, this is the worst of sins — one which must be confronted and overcome with a renewed understanding of how Christ's body transcends human divisions and separations. I heartily recommend this honest, profound, and — above all — thought-provoking book to anyone who wrestles with doubt in today's difficult world.”

The Colors of Culture

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“You need to read The Colors of Culture with an open heart and posture of a learner! The message woven throughout the book of stepping out of our places of comfort and being intentional in building authentic relationships in order to reach diverse people is needed now in our society more than ever before. "Dr. MelindaJoy Mingo brings a fresh, new, and powerful voice in the arena of unity, diversity, and the role of the gospel in moving us beyond past hurts to the beauty and joy of cultivating and sustaining diverse relationships. The winsome art of personal storytelling from around the world allows us to follow the message of the value and worth of all people while pointing to deeper implications of change that occur when we allow the truth of the gospel to bring transformation in our lives and those we journey with in life. This book is written with authenticity of heart and the truth of the gospel. It will be both a joyful and thought-provoking read. This book presents a timely and compelling message not just for this generation but for generations to come.”

The God Who Gives

Theology

“The God Who Gives is a must read. Jesus himself said it is more blessed to give than to receive. This is a great book; it is beautifully written, practical, helpful, and biblically sound. I encourage all Christians, particularly those seeking to experience the blessings that come out of generosity, to read this book. The blessings we receive from generosity are not limited to strictly financial blessings, but often are the blessings of love and encouragement that we get from sharing our lives with others. These blessings are more precious than silver and gold.”

The Heart of Racial Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

Foreword

“What Rick and Brenda do in this biblically grounded book is to make reconciliation practical through the example of their friendship, reflecting on those who have gone on before them and building on (and appreciating) what each one has to offer. I highly recommend that you take time to read The Heart of Racial Justice. It is a blueprint for the Christian church.”

The Hole in Our Gospel 2025 Edition

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book represents a powerful personal story, face-to-face experiences with the poor that changed the author’s life, plus an insightful scriptural commentary. As happened with Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision, Richard Stearns’s heart has been broken with the things that break the heart of God. Stearns used his considerable CEO skills to serve the poor and oppressed. I highly recommend this book.”

The Kingdom Agenda

Christian Living

“The Kingdom Agenda is the most significant book my friend Tony Evans has ever written. It is a "must read" for every believer who wants to live an authentic Christian life.”

The Next Worship

Preaching & Worship

“We have lost the language of love in our worship—love for God and love for our neighbor. This is a book for those who want to recover these loves by practicing reconciliation in worship. The Next Worship shows us how to love God and love our neighbor practically in worship, specifically by sharing leadership and guiding others in change. Through her personal relationships and experience in community Sandra teaches us to create spaces of hospitality, solidarity and mutuality through worship. I highly recommend this book, having experienced Sandra's leadership and knowing the wealth she has crossing cultures domestically and globally.”

Think Red

Christian Living

“My friend Larry Stoess issues a bold challenge to us all. Think Red is a resource that will help the church apply the principles I’ve written about in my manifesto. I pray the whole church is brave enough to read this.”

Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“I have been waiting for this book because the Church desperately needs this book more than ever before. So many leaders and believers regularly ask me for wisdom around how to navigate our Christian faith and politics. While this book may not have all the answers, Rev. Eugene Cho has written an incredible and timely resource by providing a biblical, theological, and practical framework to both encourage and challenge pastors, leaders, and all believers. He bravely balances the pastoral and prophetic and urges us not to abandon politics but to faithfully work to ensure that our theology as followers of Jesus informs our politics and not the other way around. Indeed, we need to hear and embody this message!”

To Live in Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“To Live in Peace is a book that needs to be read by all who work in urban communities and by those who have a concern for the quality of life of people, especially people who live in our urban communities.”

White Awake

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Daniel Hill sought me out as a mentor over two decades ago, and it has been a joy to watch the progress of him and his church. Now, in White Awake, he shares lessons learned on his journey of following Jesus into the ministry of reconciliation. As Christians in this day and age, we need to all think critically and closely examine the teachings of Scripture. In this book, you will find fresh thinking around the critical topic of race, and I would encourage every Christian to read it.”
