A Beautiful Disaster

Christian Living

Foreword

(wrote a foreword)

A Crazy, Holy Grace

“He isn’t trying to persuade—he’s trying to understand what he himself believes and thinks. And that honesty is more persuasive than the most polished argument.”

A Glimpse of Jesus

Christian Living

“Don’t be deceived by the title, this is the demanding, unyielding, impatient tenderness of God that will break your heart and (if you let it) give your heart new life.”

A Life of Listening

History & Biography

“My best friend in high school met Jesus while listening to Leighton Ford forty-five years ago. It is Leighton's profound capacity to listen to Jesus that makes listening to Leighton a gift to us. In a voice that is lean and spare and angular and humble, there is great wisdom.”

A Trip around the Sun

Christian Living

“There is no word in the English language like the word adventure. A Trip around the Sun will awaken your hunger to make your life your adventure. If you can read this book without being stirred to life—check your pulse.”

All Groan Up

Christian Living

“Paul Angone offers a new voice to twentysomethings everywhere, writing honestly about one of life’s biggest transitions. At turns, All Groan Up is hilarious, poignant, and insightful. Angone relentlessly explores who God wants us to be rather than what God wants us to do — words everyone needs to hear, whatever their stage of life.”

An Hour on Sunday

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I got a front-row seat to watch Nancy Beach in action for a decade. Her heart and mind are a gift to everyone who works with her. An Hour on Sunday distills the essence of her wisdom gleaned over thirty years. For artists, it is indispensable.”

Apprenticeship with Jesus

Christian Living

“Gary Moon is a friend, a guide, and fellow apprentice. I know of few people with his passion or his clarity for the subject about which he speaks. I wish every follower of Jesus could have Gary’s wisdom on the most important subject in the world—where do we find life?”

Basic Christianity

Apologetics

“John Stott's Basic Christianity is a simple, clear, deep explanation of our faith. I am so grateful for the lucid elegance of this invitation to follow Jesus.”

Becoming a Contagious Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Mark Mittelberg’s heart beats strong for evangelism to once more come home to the local church. If you want to know how, read on.”

Afterword

(wrote the afterword)

Beloved Dust

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In Beloved Dust, Kyle and Jamin tell us the truth about who we are and why we’re here in a way that will draw you closer to God. Here is great wisdom on spiritual growth and friendship with God; written by two people whose friendship for each other is evident—and who will become your friends before the end of the book.”

Benefit of the Doubt

Christian Living

“Even when certainty is inaccessible, commitment remains an option. Greg Boyd is incapable of uninteresting thoughts. And this book is not merely thoughtful; it will be a tremendous help to doubters (and non-doubters) everywhere.”

Birmingham Revolution

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The calling of a prophet is a glorious burden. The prophetic voice of Martin Luther King is as needed by the church today as it was half a century ago. Edward Gilbreath allows us to hear it with depth and power.”

Blue Like Jazz

Christian Living

“It’s hard to find people who write about God from a position of commitment but still sound as if they’re being human and honest, not running every word through the filter of religious subculture. Donald Miller is such a person. Plus, he writes with wit, flair, and self-awareness to boot.”
