A Non-Anxious Presence

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Mark has written another powerful and timely book. Many today are feeling overwhelmed by the chaos and uncertainty our world continually seems to be going through. But becoming a non-anxious presence gives us a compelling vision on how to bring Jesus' peace, leadership, and hope to these deeply troubled times. I am so grateful for a resource like this.”

All Things New

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“What people are saying about … All Things New ‘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.’ John Mark Comer, Author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and Pastor for Teaching and Vision at Bridgetown Church, Portland ‘Pete Hughes has written a beautiful book. He makes the story of Scripture urgent, compelling and desirable for those seeking to do mission in our post-Christian context. Theologically deep, and resonant with the Spirit, this will re-enchant many longing hearts.”

Being with God

Christian Living

“This is a fantastic book for those pursuing the way of Jesus. Instead of adding another religious task to do, AJ seeks to instill the necessity of being with God. Truly abiding is a forgotten discipline in our time from which all spiritual fruit is born. I highly recommend this book.”

Building a Resilient Life

Christian Living

“The last few years have been overwhelming for us all. No one has been left untouched. And many are struggling to move beyond the survival malaise and into the life that Jesus offers. In this deeply inspiring yet practical book, Rebekah Lyons shows, with compassion, skill, and love, how to build a life of resilience. I believe this is the book so many have been waiting for to take steps to cultivating a resilient heart.”

Creating a Missional Culture

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Many have written critiques about our consumerism, lack of discipleship, narcissism and theology, but few have given us a clear way forward. In this book, JR Woodward uses compelling theology, cultural insight, biblical wisdom and practical examples on how to shift from consumerism to mission and equip the people of God to reach their full redemptive potential. This is a real gift to the body of Christ.”

Deep Peace

Christian Living

“This deep and moving book shows us how to receive and move through the world with transformative peace—a true gift that will speak to and still many anxious hearts.”

How to Hear God

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Pete Greig has given us both a practical and profound book on how to connect more deeply with God. I believe it will enrich the lives of many people. I highly commend it to you.”

How to Revive Evangelism

Evangelism & Missions

“The Western church is struggling deeply in a time of real decline and growing apathy toward the Christian tradition. In this thoughtful and provocative book, Craig begins to pave the way forward for how we can join Jesus in seeking and saving the lost in these complex and challenging times.”

Irresistible Faith

Christian Living

“Scott Sauls has written a compelling book that does something remarkable in both your head and your heart. He accurately diagnoses the angst and tension many of us feel around our current version of Christianity, and then paints a picture and pathway to a personally inspiring, culturally credible faith. I found myself resonating on a deep level with his insight, humor, depth, and I honestly and personally know that he writes out of a life that models these teachings so well. I believe this book will go a long way in helping the church become more like the one Jesus had in mind.”

Our Good Crisis

Christian Living

“Jonathan has written an important book for followers of Jesus in our divided and hostile culture. Brimming with theological insight, genuine hope, and a beautiful way forward for these confusing times, I believe this book will greatly improve our credibility as disciples in the world.”

Platforms to Pillars

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Mark Sayers has written an incredible and timely book. As many are reflecting on the crisis of leadership in the church and the way forward, Mark paints a beautiful and biblical picture of the leaders and disciples we need who honor God without giving in to cultural standards. Culturally insightful, prophetically pointed, and biblically faithful. This book is a must-read.”

Questioning Christianity

Apologetics

“Dan and Rian have written a thoughtful and helpful book. As apologetic questions continue to shift with emerging generations, they give both fresh and potent answers to the longings of our world today. I am sure this will help many.”

Redeeming Sex

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Deb Hirsch has given us a real gift in this book. She has brought biblical clarity to one of the most misunderstood and controversial topics of the day. Many have either sensationalized or minimized our sexuality, leaving us confused, embarrassed or ashamed about the sexual nature of our humanity. But Deb has taken in this beautiful gift of God and woven it together with a Jesus-centered vision of how sexuality can glorify God and lead us to flourish. A much-needed and redemptive book.”

Resilient Life Journal and Planner

Christian Living

“The last few years have been overwhelming for us all. No one has been left untouched. And many are struggling to move beyond the survival malaise and into the life that Jesus offers. In this deeply inspiring yet practical book, Rebekah Lyons shows, with compassion, skill, and love, how to build a life of resilience. I believe this is the book so many have been waiting for to take steps to cultivating a resilient heart.”

Rhythms for Life Planner and Journal

Christian Living

This book touches a deep longing we all have for a more beautiful and sustainable life, one lived to the depth and height of what God actually offers. You will find rest for your soul and strength for your heart in here.”

Saving the Saved

Christian Living

“Bryan Loritts is one of the most thoughtful and biblical leaders I know. In Saving the Saved, he cuts to the heart of what the gospel is all about, offering good news not just to sinners but to the self-righteous as well. A freeing and engaging book.”

Searching for Enough

Christian Living

“The days of childlike faith seem to have slipped beyond our culture moment. The best of us wrestle with the darkness of the world and God’s work of redemption in the midst of it all. In Searching for Enough, Tyler Staton compellingly addresses both the angst and the hope we feel deeply in our souls and paints a captivating way forward with Jesus. This book is rich and accessible, and watching Tyler lead and embody what he writes gives it deep authenticity. I highly commend this book.”

Sexless in the City

Women

“In our sex-saturated culture, Christians constantly seek how to respond in both a compelling and compassionate way. Kat has done just that. Sexless in the City does a fantastic job of weaving together personal narrative with biblical truth and doesn’t shrink away from the hard questions people really want answered. You may not agree with everything in here, but you will be better for examining faith and sex through a holistic and biblical lens.”

The Art of Asking Better Questions

Christian Living

“J.R. Briggs has written a timely and important book. The questions we ask determine the kind of life we live. J.R.'s skillful, pastoral, and practical analysis of the power of questions in our lives is a gift to us all. Hoping God uses this book so we can ask better questions and live more fruitful, missional, and God-honoring lives.”

The Enneagram for Spiritual Formation

Christian Living

“I am deeply grateful for AJ’s thoughtful leadership and commitment to forming people in the way of Jesus. He brings the full strength of his thinking around discipleship and spiritual formation to bear on the Enneagram, moving it from a mere construct to discipleship resource. I recommend this book as a helpful and practical tool in this discussion.”
