Boundaries for Your Soul

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Personal growth requires that we create healthy boundaries for our internal world, just as we are to do in our interpersonal relationships. When the various parts of our soul are connected and integrated, the result is that we heal, relate, and function at the highest levels. Alison Cook and Kimberly Miller have written a very helpful, engaging, and practical book on how to accomplish this process.”

Building Love Together in Blended Families

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“The blended family is a new norm in our culture and world. It involves so many difficult challenges and complexities in the search for ways to promote healthy parenting, love, safety, healing, and structure. Gary Chapman and Ron Deal have written the best book I have read on the subject. They are clear, straightforward, and practical in the steps and skills they provide, especially in how the five love languages apply to the relationships. Chapter 1 alone is worth the price of the book. Highly recommended.”

Dirty God

Christian Living

“Grace is the underpinning of everything God offers us. With a deeply personal narrative approach, Johnnie draws you into the heart of God’s grace and challenges you to both experience it and guide others to it.”

Even in Our Darkness

History & Biography

“We all have our times of darkness when our circumstances are difficult, with no idea of where God’s presence is. It is one of the most painful human experiences possible. Jack Deere speaks on a vulnerable, raw, and honest level about his own narrative and the darkness he has encountered, both around him and within his own soul. He ultimately points the reader to the God who is always there and who always sustains.”

Finding Quiet

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Anxiety and depression are unfortunately far too common and can be highly severe, even life-threatening. J. P. Moreland’s book is a personal, vulnerable, and instructive guide from his own narrative to what has helped him and to what can make a difference to the reader. His biblical references are especially enlightening. Highly recommended.”

Living into the Life of Jesus

Christian Living

“Our life and relationships in Christ simply work right when we live them out from the heart. Issler's scholarship and warmth show us how clearly and deeply Jesus' teachings lead us along that path.”

Living Strong, Finishing Well

Christian Living

“Great marriages are both art and science. Dave and Jan Stoop have integrated both in a highly effective system, using the latest neuroscience, to bring couples more intimacy and happiness. Great concepts and very workable skills. I highly recommend this book.”

Mind Your Mindset

Christian Living

“Don’t Starve “So often when we experience dreams that don’t come true, or challenges in work or relationships, we feel discouragement and a bit of helplessness. We don’t know the next step, or if we should simply give up the dream and move on. But using the latest neuroscience and their own vulnerable personal narratives, Michael and Megan show that we have so many options in our minds that we never allowed ourselves to consider. What is more, they provide clear and immediately actionable steps to get you and your brain on the right track to success. Highly recommended.”

Permission to Speak Freely

Christian Living

“If you have ever struggled deeply in life and faith, and longed for someone who would understand, you must read this book. Anne’s gripping narrative is authentic, real, and also provides a substantive hope in God and his healing process.”

Dr.

Rhythms for Life Planner and Journal

Christian Living

“A great number of us suffer from some aspect of anxiety or stress. These issues can rob our joy, disturb our relationships, and paralyze our dreams. Rebekah Lyons has created an approach to dealing well with these. If you or someone you know struggles with anxiety and stress, you will find answers and hope that make sense and work. Highly recommended.”

The Connected Life

Christian Living

“It is no secret that people worldwide are increasingly disconnected from each other. For a number of reasons, we are detached from feeling we can be vulnerable about ourselves with others. This issue ties directly into massive problems in physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health. Todd Hall has provided a biblical and scientifically validated path to learn and experience true connection with God, others, and our very selves. The chapters on relational knowledge are a highlight. I highly recommend this book.”

The Deepest Place

Christian Living

“All of us suffer, in many ways: in relationships, in families, in work, and in health. And, because suffering is painful, we look for ways to end it, or reduce it. Yet God provides another, deeper, and ultimately better way to deal with suffering. Through Curt Thompson’s extensive expertise as a psychiatrist, his knowledge of the Scriptures, and his own vulnerable and warm style, he guides us into a path that helps us engage with suffering, deal with it, embrace that which must be embraced, and transform us to a life of faith, love, and hope. Highly recommended.”

The Emotionally Healthy Marriage

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Great marriages are both art and science. Dave and Jan Stoop have integrated both in a highly effective system, using the latest neuroscience, to bring couples more intimacy and happiness. Great concepts and very workable skills. I highly recommend this book.”

The God-Shaped Heart

Christian Living

“God designed us to navigate life’s decisions at the highest level, operating from his law of love. Yet we so often default to simply trying harder, and it never works. Dr. Jennings’s careful scholarship and moving stories will inspire you to live, heal, and succeed via a transformed heart, loving both God and others well. Highly recommended.”

The Joy of Missing Out

Work, Money & Leadership

“We all have dreams and desires to live a life of great relationships, meaningful work, and purpose. Yet the demands of time, the needs of others, and our own expectations of who we should be, overwhelm us and muddy the waters. Tanya Dalton’s thoughtful system to get back in control of your life is workable and simple. She helps you become focused on the truly significant and gives you the courage to prune back those to-do’s that are holding you back from the person you were made to be.”

The Theft of America’s Soul

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“During these days and in this world, we need a direct, clear, and positively disruptive message about what the Bible says about living life the right way. Phil Robertson’s voice is unique in that he not only speaks the truth, but he has been living these truths as a matter of faith and integrity for many years. His authenticity and his challenges will speak to you.”

Dr.

Torn Asunder

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“It is biblical. It is well researched. It is hopeful. It is practical. Dave Carder not only knows the subject, he lives in integrity as a man who walks his talk. His life, his teaching, his character, and his competency assure the reader that this book will change lives.”

When to Walk Away

Christian Living

“Toxic people can drain our lives, rob us of our joy, and worse. Unfortunately, many of us don’t have the skills to address these individuals in the best way possible. We know we are to love, forgive, and be patient, but those aren’t God’s only solutions. Gary Thomas has done a masterful job of showing us how and when to confront in the right way, how to guard one’s heart, and, most importantly, when to walk away. His comprehensive treatment of the many times Jesus chose to leave a person or a situation provides overwhelming encouragement in learning to love well, truth well, and behave well. Highly recommended.”
