Philosophy
“Christopher Palmer’s A World Without God masterfully weaves the eerie town of Novemberton and its cast of quirky characters into a perfectly pitched allegory of our increasingly shallow and distracted world. Drawing on the profound insights of existentialists, nihilists, and theologians alike, Palmer paints a vivid picture of how an entire culture can lose its soul. Yet amid this evocative and imaginative narrative, he also illuminates a path back to hope, faith, and love. This prescient piece of writing underscores why a weary world seems to be awakening once more to its need for God.”
Evidence That Demands a Verdict
Apologetics
“Josh McDowell was one of the first guests to feature on my radio debate show Unbelievable? and Sean has been one of the most recent. I've been hugely impressed by both generations of Christian thinkers. In this new edition of Evidence That Demands A Verdict, their combined knowledge, integrity and passion for sharing the gospel has produced something truly special. Evidence was the book that first brought evidential apologetics to a popular audience. This updated edition, comprehensive in scope and yet immensely readable, will powerfully present the latest evidence to a new generation with a new set of questions. This book remains an essential resource for every thinking Christian who wants to give a reason for the hope that they have.”

Apologetics
“In Person of Interest, J. Warner does something new and remarkable. He shows why history was divided into two eras by the person of Jesus. This book is comprehensive, the argumentation is convincing, and the delivery compelling. If a skeptic wants to know whether the story of Jesus makes sense, give them this book and they’ll discover that Jesus makes sense of history itself.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In an increasingly distracted, tech-addicted, celebrity-driven culture, Platforms to Pillars is a timely reminder of why Christian faith stands in stark contrast to the spirit of our age. There is so much to appreciate here: Mark's keen critical analysis of the cultural forces shaping humanity. Discerning scriptural engagement that sheds light on how we can respond. And an urgent message that, when our world seems ready to crumble, it will be those formed as pillars, not those with platforms, who will make the difference. Mark Sayers is the kind of clear and cogent thinker the church needs in an era of digital distraction and dizzying change. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand where our twenty-first century world is heading and how Christ-followers can meet its challenges with courage, wisdom, and grace.”
History & Biography
“In an age of relentless self-invention, I believe that many people are desperate to find an enduring story that makes sense of their lives. Historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker is a superb guide to the religious and spiritual history that has shaped generations of our forebears over hundreds of years. Priests of History is an enlightening and compelling account of how re-engaging with the traditions, stories, and practices of the past can provide us clarity for our present times. In a confusing and divided age, this volume will give you hope for the future.”
Apologetics
“Despite the skeptical attitudes of our increasingly post-Christian culture, there seems to be a renewed interest in the supernatural. In fact, claims of the miraculous have never gone away. In this superbly researched and written book, veteran journalist Lee Strobel reveals why tales of the supernatural are more than mere legend. Exploring the historical, scientific, and philosophical case for healings, miracles, and spiritual encounters, this is essential reading for seekers, skeptics, and believers. Read this book and find out why God is closer than you think.”

Stepping Stones to Christianity
Apologetics
“This is a book for anyone who feels that embracing Christianity is like jumping into the deep end of a swimming pool! By providing a variety of scientific, philosophical, and historical ‘stepping stones,’ Peter Williams acts as a wise and helpful guide for those searching for a deeper faith.”
Apologetics
“Christopher Hitchens was easily the most interesting, likeable, and rhetorically eloquent member of the New Atheist movement. But he wasn't the most logically consistent. Peter Harris’s comprehensive critique of Hitchens’s anti-religious thought utterly devastates the famous atheist's arguments while also recognizing the humanity that made him a friend, not a foe, of the Christians he debated.”
Christian Living
“The high-profile falls of various Christian leaders in recent years have shown us something we should have already known—that ministry success should be measured not by the size of our churches but by the spiritual health of those leading them. I highly recommend Glenn Packiam’s book. Leaders and lay people alike will find clarity, wisdom, and encouragement for navigating one of the most difficult moments in history to be a pastor.”
Apologetics
“Greg Koukl is one of the clearest and most accessible Christian communicators I know. Telling the big Story of God’s purpose and actions in history, Greg masterfully demonstrates why no other story but Christianity can account for the way the world is and why it matters. Common sense, a logical approach, and years of experience in putting the puzzle pieces together in his own life, make Greg an ideal guide for others seeking to piece together the true Story of reality for themselves.”
Christian Living
“With scholarly research and imaginative flair, Jeremiah Johnston asks us to consider the unimaginable: What if Christianity had not won the war of competing ideologies? What if it were not to continue as a world-changing influence? This insightful book will help you to understand why Christianity makes sense for us and the world we live in.”
Christian Living
“There is no one unaffected by mental health struggles, either directly or indirectly, and Christians are hungry for answers to the big questions about depression, anxiety, and suicide. I’ve personally seen the phenomenal response from audiences when Jeremiah has spoken about these issues. Jeremiah’s new book is also one of the most helpful responses I have encountered.”
Apologetics
“This is such a helpful guide to belief, doubt, and how to hold the Christian faith with confidence in a skeptical world. It is engaging, accessible, and honest. Anyone struggling with faith or seeking answers to their questions will find it a helpful road map to navigating a path toward God.”
What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church?
“Skye has become my go-to thinker for understanding US politics, church, and evangelical subculture. This book brings together both a challenging critique of today's church and a hopeful vision of the world-changing movement it can be when we take the words of Jesus seriously. I wish a copy could be placed in the hands of every church pastor, home group leader, and congregant out there.”
Apologetics
“Doubt is an inevitable part of the Christian journey. Sadly, for many it can end up derailing their faith altogether. Combining personal experience, theological depth, and the heart of a pastor, Dominic Done has written an essential guide for navigating doubt. As the host of a religious radio debate show I am regularly contacted by people in the process of deconstructing their beliefs. I now know which book I will recommend to seekers, skeptics, and doubters who want to start putting their faith back together again. When Faith Fails is, quite simply, excellent.”
Christian Living
“We are living through times that test the soul. Full of wisdom and insight forged in the furnace of his own experience, Dominic Done’s book will provide anyone struggling to make sense of their journey with a road map to forming a resilient, integrated, and flourishing life.”
