Theology
“Drawing from years of experience and research, Deep Reading offers insights, approaches, and practices to equip readers and teachers of readers. The book not only instructs—it inspires. I wish I had this work when I began teaching thirty years ago. It’s not only a book for teachers; it’s a book for all readers who desire to read deeply and to live deeply as well.”
Christian Living
“Modern-day Christians are so trained to think about the what (content) that we don’t often enough consider the how (form). Digital Liturgies—wisely, clearly, and compellingly—helps us to consider the ways in which we are formed by the digital world in which we live. Samuel James not only introduces some of the most important thinkers on this most defining quality of our age, but he also offers his own fresh insights.”
Discipling the Diseased Imagination
Christian Living
“Discipling the Diseased Imagination will help readers understand just how powerful and formative the imagination is to mind, heart, and spirit. A diseased imagination will lead to a diseased mind, heart, and spirit, but a healthy one will do what God intended: see God, ourselves, and his creation through his eyes. This book will inspire readers to refill and reform the imagination in everyday ways that will restore it to its glorious, God-given purpose. In doing so, this book will also help us restore ourselves.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“If you want to know what the next generation of evangelicalism could and should look like, look to Alan Noble. Grounded, faithful, and circumspect, he is asking all the right questions and leading us to better answers.”
Theology
“The expertise and joy Matthew Mullins brings to reading and understanding the literary nature of the Bible will help you not only to enjoy the Bible more but to enjoy poetry, literature, and (dare I say?) life more too. This is a book I will recommend widely and often.”
Christian Living
“Faith Among the Faithless reveals rich and timely parallels between the ancient biblical story of Esther and the current time Christians find ourselves in. Deftly weaving these threads together, Mike Cosper creates a rich and illuminating tapestry of timeless biblical truth. It’s been a long time since I have been so informed, inspired, and encouraged by a contemporary examination and application of a biblical narrative.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In an age of extemporaneous prayers, it is instructive and delightful to read prayers created within the word-rich age of the English Reformation and wrought with such care. Beautifully crafted, filled with human goodness and biblical truth, these are more than prayers: they are meditations, devotions, and little lessons on what it means to be human and utterly dependent upon God. This is a volume I will return to again and again.”
Christian Living
“Too many books written by and for Christian women are shallow and trivial. This is not one of them. Free of Me provides deep biblical and human understanding and offers the best sort of wisdom: honest, hard-won, and biblically sound. I will be recommending this book widely and enthusiastically to many for years to come.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Most textbooks on argumentation cover too much or too little, aiming either too high or too low. Good Arguments is just right. Clear, compact, and complete, it's just the text I've been looking for. I know it will serve my writing students well.”
Christian Living
“The changes we face in life are always unique and personal, but Michael Lindsay brings comfort and confidence in the understanding that these individual experiences also reflect the universal human condition. A delightful treasury of stories, science, and wisdom, Hinge Moments will enlighten and encourage you in whatever momentous transition might come your way.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Emily Hunter McGowin weaves church history, biblical wisdom, and current day applications into a highly readable and deeply knowledgeable work. Households of Faith will challenge and inspire readers within the context of their own family life as well as within life as part of the larger church family.”
“Rituals are so woven into our lives and in the universal order that it’s easy to let them go unnoticed. Dru Johnson opens our eyes, not only to the presence of rites and rituals in all areas of life but also to our need to be mindful of them. Human Rites is a compelling, challenging, and convicting read. We can’t rid our lives of rituals (nor would we want to), but we can and should heed their value and power.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Of all people, Christians should have an understanding and appreciation of the human bodies God created that bear his image. Yet, too often, Christians neglect the role our bodies play in the life of our souls on earth and in eternity. I'm so thankful for the way Liuan Huska tenderly and humanely stitches these two parts of our humanity back together in this wise, lovely book.”
Imagining Our Neighbors as Ourselves
Arts & Literature
“Imagining Our Neighbors as Ourselves will instruct and delight any reader who cares even a little about art, imagination, and humanity.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Southern Baptist history is as rich as it is complicated. Only by reckoning with our history can we fulfill the promises of a brighter future for the denomination. The work and witness of T. B. Maston is part of this history that needs to be recovered and remembered. Southern Baptists and the church as a whole have much to learn from Maston’s pioneering efforts in Christian ethics and racial reconciliation. His legacy is ours.”
History & Biography
“Jesus Through Medieval Eyes offers vivid, earthy, and sometimes jarring insights into Jesus as seen through the lives and minds of those who walked this faith journey ahead of us. The Jesus they understood is, in some ways, as startling to us as our portrayals of him today would be to them. But we have much to learn from ages past, and Grace Hamman is the perfect one to guide us on this tour. Her writing is as sharp, witty, and sparkling as the medieval minds she studies and introduces us to. This book is rich and utterly delightful.”
Christian Living
“This beautiful book will brush the dust from your dingy days and reveal the extraordinary that is to be found in the ordinary. No mundane daily task will be the same once these pages open your eyes to how the work of your hands reflects the ways of the Creator and the rhythms of eternity.”
Christian Living
“I didn't think I needed permission to live slowly. But in reading these beautiful, inviting, life-giving words by Jodi Grubbs, I felt a weight I didn't know I was bearing slowly lift. Read this book and you will feel it too.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Looking Up isn't just about birdwatching. It's about birds. And it's not just about birds. It's about life. And like life, it's delightful.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Tony Scarcello has walked a hard, narrow path with grace, love, and truth. In Love All Our Neighbors, he leads the way to help others do the same. This book will challenge you. It may make you uncomfortable at times. It will definitely make you think. But mostly it will equip you to wrestle through hard realities with the kind of grace, love, and truth Tony embodies in his life and ministry.”
