John Ortberg

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I love The Story of God Bible Commentary series. It makes the text sing and helps us hear the story afresh.”

History & Biography

Foreword

“Some books are worth reading because of the gripping drama of the author’s life. Some because of the healing wisdom they offer. Some are worth reading because they point us to God. This is the rare book that does all three.”

LifeCrafting

Christian Living

“Bradley and Cathryn Wright have written a research-based, science-guided, faith-informed, grace-powered, reality-tethered, motivation-growing, nudge-leveraging, habit-forming, vision-priming, silence-keeping, progress-celebrating, action-taking guide to change that could help every single human being on the planet toward significant life transformation. I hope you’ll be one of them.”

Living in Bonus Time

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Alec Hill has been on the hero's journey into the valley that no one wants to visit but no one can avoid. This book reflects his vast gifts: an exceedingly learned and literate mind, a tenaciously thoughtful faith, and a rigorous commitment to honesty. It also contains gifts of the spirit: humility, gratitude, wonder, and acceptance. Reading it will bring healing to many and wisdom to even more.”

Mark

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I love The Story of God Bible Commentary series. It makes the text sing, and helps us hear the story afresh.”

Mere Science and Christian Faith

Science & Faith

“What a great book. This sentence alone should be mandatory church wisdom: 'Let’s not fool around with science that can't be supported by scientists.' Greg reflects on science, technology, faith, and emerging adults with learning, urgency, clarity, and grace.”

Minor Prophets I

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I love the SGBC series. It makes the text sing and helps us hear the story afresh.”

Modern Technology and the Human Future

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The two words from which we get technology—tekton and logos—were both used by New Testament writers to describe Jesus. Technology and Jesus—and therefore technology and humanity—are inseparable and delicately linked. Technology, like the human body itself, is a good servant but a bad master. Craig Gay has written a learned and lucid reflection on how it can both help and hinder human flourishing.”

Work, Money & Leadership

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Night Driving

History & Biography

“It is not clear to me why God meets us uniquely in pain. It is only clear that he does. In Night Driving Chad Bird gives us an unsparing look at the desperate and unpretty human need for God through the lens of his own journey. We are shepherds of darkness and stewards of scars. If you’re having problems finding God in your life, you may find him here.”

No Perfect People Allowed

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I got to work alongside John for several years, and I saw his heart for ‘imperfect people’ firsthand. He has written a road map for people who want to travel to Christian community through the lands of brokenness and questions.”

Now I Become Myself

Christian Living

“Ken has written a book that is gripping both in the sense that its terrifically well-written but also in that it is spiritually arresting and soul-healing. He is deeply informed on the topic by Scripture, by wisdom, by the social sciences, and by his own open heart. In a world that often seems to be moving toward a shame/honor society, this book will foster a journey from shame to grace.”

Numbers

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I love the SGBC series. It makes the text sing and helps us hear the story afresh.”

Old Testament Essentials

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Tremper Longman is for me--and countless others--a treasured 'go-to' resource to uncover the treasures of Old Testament wisdom. This survey will be of huge value to anyone who wants the big picture of the Great Story.”

Organic Prayer

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Everybody prays. Everybody struggles with prayers. Sherry gives wise guidance for the prayer-filled life.”

Paul Through Mediterranean Eyes

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ken Bailey is pure gold. No writer I can think of has been a greater help for teaching the Scriptures with freshness and clarity. What a gift to have his insights on Paul.”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Present Perfect

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

Pursuing Moral Faithfulness
