This fresh account of Christian spiritual formation will captivate students and seekers while reminding seasoned leaders of the many gifts that the Christian tradition offers to our weary souls.”
A Woman's Place Is in the Story
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Sandra Glahn beautifully presents biblical accounts of women that have been ignored or minimized, but she doesn't stop there—she teaches us how to read the whole story of Scripture. This book is for preachers, Sunday school teachers, and anyone interested in reading the Bible more fully and faithfully.”
Theology
“In a world seemingly convinced that our fragmented, lonely, isolated existences are not only inevitable but good, Becoming God's Family offers a refreshing and hopeful description of the meaning and significance of the family of God. Carmen Joy Imes has given the church the gift of a rousing call to take seriously our belonging to one another. Even those skeptical of the church will find in these pages a compelling vision of Christian faith that not only teaches us right doctrine but envelops us into a family.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Few topics are as contested—and as crucially important—as family. Emily McGowin meets our great need for deeper theological reflection with skill and compassion, weaving together rich theology and careful attention to our lived experience of family life. This is a fresh and thoughtful take on a topic too often bogged down with culture war antics.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Join the Resistance describes resistance to the powers and principalities as the work of one community—a community made up of biblical prophets, activists throughout history, and faithful advocates today. It will convict you of your apathy and inspire you with biblical teaching. But most importantly, it will equip you with resources for joining that community's work in the world today. This book is not merely about Michelle's journey, it is about how to live a life upended by the coming kingdom of God and shaped by the faithful work of the family of God.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Plenty of words have been written about the meaning of ‘Evangelicalism,’ but this collection of essays moves beyond warring descriptions into robust engagement and constructive proposals. Reconstructing Evangelicalism asks not merely ‘What is Evangelicalism?’ but ‘What should it be?’ Scholars and church leaders will benefit from the questions posed and the solutions offered in this diverse collection.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This is the book I have been looking—and praying—for! Rhodes blends rich biblical exegesis with robust theological insight and practical wisdom. I will personally reach for Reimagining Biblical Politics often, and I will recommend it to pastors, small groups, and any Christian seeking biblical wisdom for political life.”
Christian Living
“This book is a breath of fresh air—humble and thoughtful but full of conviction that the way of Jesus is worth pursuing. Slow Theology does not merely affirm important theological conclusions, it articulates a way of thinking—and living—theologically. Whether you are skeptical about Christianity or exhausted with theological bickering, A. J. and Nijay present a vision of Christian theology that just might inspire you to greater study of and relationship with God.”
The Science of the Good Samaritan
Christian Living
“We desperately need more conversations about faith and public life, and about what it truly means to be a neighbor. Dr. Emily Smith has given us a gift toward that end. She blends her captivating personal story with informative analysis of public health challenges and practical steps for the average person. A crucial and helpful book for anyone genuinely asking the question, “Who is my neighbor?”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“If you are exhausted by and exasperated with politics, this book is for you. The Spirit of Our Politics won’t try to drum up your enthusiasm for our broken political system; it will draw your attention to a greater and truer story—and the way that story should then shape our common life together. Michael Wear has given us the gift of diagnosing the deeper spiritual problems underneath our divisions and disagreements—and proposing a better path forward.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Uneasy Citizenship is an invitation for Christians to think deeply about their political lives—and live faithfully in challenging times. This is a book for churches and families to read and discuss together. What a gift Daniel Bennett has given us!”
What If Jesus Was Serious about Heaven?
Christian Living
“There are few topics more misunderstood in the American church than heaven. What If Jesus Was Serious about Heaven? addresses our confusion with thoughtful provocations, insightful corrections, and solid biblical teaching. This is a resource that doesn’t just fix bad theology; it also orients believers in Christ toward the beautiful picture of cosmic redemption actually found in Scripture.”
What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church?
“Our thinking about church is often conditioned on our experience, so we need something that surprises or startles us out of our expectations to think about what Scripture says in a fresh way. What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church? does exactly that, by using captivating images and insightful writing to help us evaluate our assumptions about church. This is a resource that critiques and laments our perversions of church—not for the sake of critique, but in order to encourage all Christians to understand and experience the better reality God desires for us.”
When Thoughts and Prayers Aren't Enough
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I don't say this lightly: this is a book that will change minds. Taylor's personal story is heartbreaking and compelling, but it is her passion for justice, her well-researched arguments, and her empathy for different perspectives that make this book so powerful. I am confident that When Thoughts and Prayers Aren't Enough will inspire many people, but I am even more confident that it will guide and inform real conversations that we desperately need to have in our families, churches, and communities.”
Theology
“Why I Am Protestant provides a succinct but thorough account of Protestant Christianity, elevating Protestant gifts while valuing Christian unity. Beth Felker Jones writes with characteristic sincerity, charity, and creativity. This is a gift for students, pastors, and all Christians seeking to better understand their own theological inheritance.”
