“At a moment when so many are questioning what the church is and wondering if it even matters, McKnight’s claim — that the way we follow Jesus is shaped by our local church more than any other source — is a bold, prophetic, and compelling idea. Reading this book gave me a new vision for what my church is and what it could be. It was nothing short of a love affair with Jesus’ bride all over again.”

“It’s no surprise that most of the Bible comes to us as history and biography. In reading other people’s stories, we discover our own. More than that, we navigate our own path by the landmarks of those who have gone before us. Jeremy and Audrey Roloff have done a superb job of walking the road of dating to marriage, not just as lovers of each other, but as followers of Jesus. They take their relationship seriously; they take Jesus even more seriously. There is much to learn in these pages.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Few things slow us down and crack us open like poetry; done well, it can soften the heart, attune the spirit, arrest us with beauty, and carry us through a literary portal into union with God. One minute we're reading, the next we're caught up in the love of the Trinity and the beautiful mystery of life. My friend Tyler Staton has given a rare gift--a collection of writings that intentionally blur the line between poetry and prayer. As Tyler explains, the Western Church gave up poetry for music, to mixed effect. All of us who are finding our way backward through the treasure trove of Christian history will find in this book much joy.”

“As a pastor leading a similar church in a similar city, I pay very close attention to Pete Hughes and KXC. Not only do I count Pete a dear friend, but I view him as one of the best emerging thinkers and leaders in the western church. The community that has grown up around them at KXC is simply incredible. Few churches manage to capture the holistic nature of the kingdom with such tenacity and clarity—from spiritual formation of the soul to the transformation of society. Pete’s opening claim that “the story you live in is the story you live out” shows just how key the biblical narrative has been in the architecture of Pete and KXC’s vision of church. I simply can’t recommend this book enough. I want every person in my church to read this.”

“Mark Strong is a legend in our city. The archetype of a wise, humble, faithful urban pastor. Many younger planters look to him for more than mentorship, but for a template to pour our own lives into. When a guy like Mark talks about the collision of Jesus and community, I listen.”

“Louie Giglio is a prophetic gift for our time. And Psalm 23 is a resounding truth for all time. Put them together and you have a clarion call to attune our mindstream to life in the kingdom. As someone who starts every morning by praying Psalm 23, this book struck a deep chord in my heart.”

“Dr. Preston Sprinkle has become the go-to voice for a biblical theology of sexuality that is orthodox, intelligent, well-researched, nuanced, open-minded, yet firm in conviction, compassionate, and above all, grounded in reality. This book has more than dry data; it has compelling stories of real flesh-and-blood sexual minorities and their quest to follow Jesus in a cultural moment of ideologies and agendas. This is simply the best book I’ve found on the subject.”

“Bryan is painfully honest about the challenge of long-term friendships. Yet you read this book and come away burning with desire to bare your soul to another in love. . . . I walked away from reading Enduring Friendship not only recaptured by the beauty of the gospel, but also deeply moved by the power of grace.”

“When I think back to my childhood, one memory sticks out over all the noise; every morning I would walk down the stairs and find my mom sitting in her chair, Bible open, pen in hand, eyes focused but distant. She was hearing the one voice that could bypass her deafness. My mom taught me how to listen to God; this book will do the same for you.”

“This is simply the best book I've ever found on hearing God's voice. It does it all—with nuance, grace, intelligence, and spirit. Few things matter more to an apprentice of Jesus than learning to discern God's voice. Few books come close to being as helpful as this one.”

Apologetics
“We need this book. Dan Kimball has long been a guide for a generation trying to find their footing in a post-Christian world, for those of us who want to believe, yet struggle to make sense of the Bible in our age. Yet again, he steps in to offer kind, intelligent, wise, and, as you’d expect from Dan, funny guidance.”

“I hope, pray, and believe that hundreds of years from now, theologians and church historians will point back to Dallas Willard's radiant light as a key inflection point in the Western church's renewal, the same way we do to Wesley and others today. Here's my opinion: Keas Keasler is an early adopter and pioneer, one of the first academics to realize not just the importance of Willards's work more broadly but to take him seriously as a theologian. No other contemporary thinker has imprinted more deeply on how I see Jesus, formation, and life in the Father's world than Willard. Keasler's book does more than synthesize Willard; it gives us a map for the next chapter in our story. It is a book worthy of your consideration. It's expertly written, adroitly argued, and profound in its clarity and conviction. I could not put it down.”

“My friend David Kim has given the church a unique and special contribution. His insights on community and the great ache of loneliness in our time are some of the best I’ve found. This is a book I will be passing out to all my friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.”

“Utterly wonderful. Emotionally attuned, self-aware, thoroughly researched, well written, seamlessly blending theology, spirituality, and psychology, rooted in ancient practices and yet culturally engaged; there’s so many good things I could say about this book, but the main thing is: read it.”

“I've known Ally since we were kids. She's everything you want in a writer: smart, funny, honest, flawed, strong, passionate, and after Jesus' kingdom vision. To a generation that's dying for adventure, but scared to death of failure, Packing Light comes as a much needed kick out the front door. You might read this book on your couch, but you won't stay there.”
