Apologetics
“If I had the power to require every Christian parent, pastor, and professor to read two books on creation and evolution—ideally alongside their mature children, parishioners, and students—it would be 40 Questions about Creation and Evolution (by Kenneth Keathley and Mark Rooker) along with the book you are now holding in your hands, Controversy of the Ages. Neither book intends to answer all of the questions definitively, but together they are like maps for Christians in the complex and confusing intersection of the Bible and science. We cannot bury our head in the sand, or outsource study of these issues to others. Cabal and Rasor help us sort through the issues and the options, modeling for us how to use proportion and perspective in our rhetoric and strategies of disagreement within the body of Christ. We live in perplexing days, but clear and clarifying books like this are a tremendous gift to the church. If the arguments and tone of this book are taken to heart, we will all be sharper, wiser, and kinder. I pray it is widely read.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“We sometimes imagine that spiritual formation--the Spirit's work of conforming us to the image of God's Son--is something accomplished on our own. But in reality, God has graciously given us the gift of teachers and the community of saints. Thesewise guides can lead us and help us, through their teaching and example, pointing us to Christ. We could not ask for a more profound guide than the great theologian Jonathan Edwards. In these pages his gifted interpreter Kyle Strobel shows us a better way--a way less traveled--for how to live the Christian life bound to the Son in love. A feast awaits all those with eyes to see.”
Theology
“For years popular Christian teachers have been enticing us with the 'secret key' to the victorious, higher, deeper, more abundant Christian life. We've been told just to 'let go and let God.' If you've heard that teaching, you'll want to read this clear and accessible book. You'll learn not only where this well-intentioned teaching goes wrong, but you will discover afresh the well-worn old paths of biblical faithfulness and holiness. Andy Naselli is a careful scholar and a compassionate guide who longs to help and serve the church of Jesus Christ. I predict you will not be disappointed.”
Same-Sex Attraction and the Church
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The big idea of Ed Shaw's book is simple: the church must make the biblical commands on sexuality seem plausible again. He calls all of us to repentance and wisely shows us a better way to battle sin, to understand sufferers and to proclaim truth with grace. Even those who don't agree with every jot and tittle will find something to be challenged and encouraged by on nearly every page. I highly recommend this clear, courageous and compassionate book.”
Tactics, 10th Anniversary Edition
Apologetics
“In this wise and compelling book, Greg Koukl—who has thought long and hard about not only what to say but how to say it—provides a game plan for equipping believers through an artful method of careful thinking and winsome conversation. If you struggle with how to talk about your faith and respond to questions and objections in a meaningful and effective way—and most of us do—there is no better book to buy, read, and put into practice. I could not recommend it more highly!”
The Essential Edwards Collection
History & Biography
“You hold in your hands a unique resource: a window into the life and thought of Jonathan Edwards, a man whose life was captured by God for the gospel of Jesus Christ. In these pages you'll not only learn about Edwards, but you'll be able to hear him speak in his own words. This winsome and accessible introduction is now the first thing I'd recommend for those who want to know more about America's greatest pastor-theologian.”
Theology
“Kapic is a clear communicator who cherishes Christ, cares for the church, and conducts all the right conversations across the fields of theology. The result is a rare combination—a robust, warm-hearted, accessible book that glorifies our generous triune God and instructs and inspires readers throughout the church.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Everyone knows that work is both necessary and hard. But what about its meaning? Some think of work as merely a distraction from ministry; others, as a necessary evil to provide for higher ends; others still, a place where ultimate purpose and identity can be found. In The Gospel at Work, you will find two careful and experienced guides—brothers whose wisdom and teaching I deeply respect—who know not only the right questions to ask but also where to find the life-giving answers.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A good roadmap by a trustworthy guide is one of the best tools in navigating your way through unfamiliar or difficult terrain. That's not only true when it comes to visiting a physical place but also in studying literary and historical texts like the New Testament. In these brilliant pages, New Testament scholar Patrick Schreiner teams up with the gifted theological artist Anthony Benedetto to summarize every section of the New Testament, with each one complemented by an illustration that helps us see and remember the message at a glance. I love creative resources like this. I expect to use it for years to come. And I pray it is used far and wide to instruct and encourage the church today.”
“Two thoughtful young guys with different styles, Kevin DeYoung (the pastor-theologian) and Ted Kluck (the journalist), have teamed up to write Why We're Not Emergent. The result is a fair-minded, biblically grounded, insightful book. It's clear that DeYoung and Kluck are not motivated by the desire to criticize, but rather by their love of the church as the body of Christ. This is now the first book I'd give someone who asks the question, "What is the emerging church?" Highly recommended!”
