Know What You Believe

Theology

“There are just a few timeless treasures in Christian literature. Know What You Believe is one of them. I am confident that the expanded and updated version of this book will be as important to this generation as it was in the days when I was a student.”

Life in the Presence of God

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“As the old adage says, 'We are known by the company we keep!' And, I might add, we will be known in positive, life-transforming ways by keeping company with Jesus. But the challenge is getting our heads and hearts around the discipline of practicing his presence. Thankfully, Ken Boa helps us! Life in the Presence of God is a clear and compelling guide to the joy of intimacy with Christ.”

Life's Biggest Questions

Christian Living

“In clear, insightful and relevant ways Thoennes tackles some of life’s most bewildering questions. His treatment of the perennial dilemmas that have plagued inquisitive minds avoids easy clichés and unrealistic answers. Thoennes artfully and biblically turns the question marks of sincere seekers into exclamation points that undergird life with confidence and certainty. This book is a one of a kind resource among similar books that are either too light and unrealistic or too heavy to get our heads around. As such, it is a welcome arrival and an important read—the kind of book that you are happy to share with a friend!”

Made for His Pleasure

Christian Living

“Alistair compels us clearly and biblically to know the joy of pleasing God in our relationships, successes and failures, and other strategic aspects of our lives.”

Made to be Loved

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Steve and Valerie have opened their hearts in a powerful way to help all of us move more closely to God and to each other. If authentic intimacy with our Lord and your spouse is what you long for, then this is what you've been looking for.”

Oneness Embraced

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“I am a raving fan of Christ's work in our world and have a lot of confidence in the words of my friend Jesus who promised that He will build His church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it! Unfortunately, we tend to complicate the path to victory by speedbumping the forward progress of the kingdom with our fallen ways and perspectives. Bravo for my friend Tony Evans who has taken the biblical bulldozer to the obstacles and smoothed the way for us. Since being "one" is the unanswered prayer on Jesus' heart, this is a very important read!”

Pivotal Praying

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The last great unconquered frontier for the advancing cause of Christ may very well be the personal prayer life of His followers. My friends John Hull and Tim Elmore provide fresh and compelling insights. Read this book and get ready to tap the true power source—especially in times of need.”

Seeking Him

Christian Living

“A welcome resource for all of us who continue to trust that God will answer our prayers for revival.”

Seeking Refuge

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“There is little doubt that one of the greatest tension points in our generation is the complex challenge of the refugee crisis. While the rest of the world peers into the problem through the lens of politics, economics, and cultural dilution, Bauman, Soerens, and Smeir call Christ followers to see it as an opportunity for the church to unleash the power of the gospel. In practical and persuading ways, Seeking Refuge offers us biblically wise counsel and effective paradigms that will bring Jesus' love and redeeming power to bear on the lives of some of the neediest people on the planet.”

Sex, Dating, and Relationships

Christian Living

“In a world of cyber relationships—fueled by Facebook, texts, and tweets—the issues surrounding sex, dating, and relationships have become increasingly complex and challenging for teens, their friends, and their parents. This cutting-edge treatment of the rapidly changing scene is a must read for parents, students, counselors, and pastors. A big thanks to Gerald and Jay for helping us think sanely through this head-scratching cultural shift from a realistic and theologically astute perspective.”

Sharpening the Focus of the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“It's no secret that the world has dramatically changed since 1974, when my seminary professor, Gene Getz, published his impactful first edition of Sharpening the Focus of the Church. The cultural issues are different now, but the fundamental principles of a biblical view of the church and its strategic role in society have not changed. Our challenge is to adjust the application of these principles to be empowered as church leaders to effectively impact a changed world while staying in the lane of biblical truth. When I think of this new edition of Sharpening the Focus of the Church, words like wise, in-tune, relevant, insightful, practical, and stimulating come to mind.”

Terrify No More

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“President,World Vision U.S. For those of us who embrace the fact that the Lord’s desire and pleasure is upon those who are advocates for justice in an unjust world (Micah 6:8), this book is a must-read. As a proven practitioner in the enterprise of bringing God’s justice to the plight of the oppressed, my friend Gary writes with unusual clarity and conviction. But, reader beware, Terrify No More will relentlessly tug at your heart and show you how you too can join the growing number of followers of Christ who are taking seriously His desire to grace our treacherous world with freedom from the enslavement and bondage in which millions are hopelessly lost.”

Dr.

The Faithful Preacher

Church Leadership & Ministry

“At last a great book that taps the fresh water that flows from the heart of three great African-American preachers of the past! We have much to learn from them.”

The God You've Been Searching For

Christian Living

“My friend Mac Brunson offers a powerfully clear and compelling case for knowing, experiencing, and loving God. For a culture confused in the fog of religious tolerance and political correctness, Mac shows the way through using the penetrating rays of biblical truth.”

The Life You Were Born to Give

Christian Living

“Experiencing the fullness of life in Christ requires that we are willing to turn our upside-down thinking right-side-up. Thanks to my friend David McKinley, this book will help you discover that fullness of life is more about giving than getting.”

The Light That Never Dies

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“With a transparency that is at times unsettling, Bill Hendricks allows the reader to see the way through death's dark abyss to "the light that never dies."”

The Magnificent Obsession

Christian Living

“Abraham’s fame is that God called him “friend.” Anne Graham Lotz’s personal obsession with the God of Abraham will spill over into your heart as she walks you through a life that finds meaning and fulfillment in a vibrant friendship with God.”

The Majesty of God in the Old Testament

Theology

“I can’t think of anyone better to lift our sight to the stimulating reality of the majesty of God than my friend Walt Kaiser. Unfortunately, God has often been tarnished by the smallness of our minds. Kaiser’s winsome yet direct and clear writing will put the magnificent reality of God’s glory in its proper perspective.”

The Post-Church Christian

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Eavesdropping may not always be polite, but listening in on this conversation is something you won't want to miss, especially if you want to understand the delicate dynamics of the generation gap between boomers and millennials. With clarity and transparency, Paul Nyquist and his son Carson navigate the whitewater of generational disconnect and provide for us a valuable seminar on understanding and reconnecting with those whose world views are dramatically different. Highly recommended!”

The Truth About Same-Sex Marriage

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With pastoral compassion and biblical clarity, my friend Erwin Lutzer has issued a compelling challenge to God's people, calling us to respond in love and truth to one of the most pressing issues of our time.”
