Christian Living

“We live in a culture oriented entirely toward comfort, and the church is not immune from its lure. Brett McCracken offers a timely and needed reminder that the call for Christians is a different one, but one that brings blessings richer than mere comfort. Uncomfortable will make you uncomfortable in the best of ways. Every believer needs to read this book and heed its call.”

Veiled Intent

History & Biography

“Meticulous research, nuanced analysis, and fresh insights into the works of these 'doubly marginalized' writers--both women and dissenters--make Veiled Intent a significant contribution to the criticism of the period. In examining the complex relationship of aesthetics, theology, and social activism in the works of these writers, Natasha Duquette provides an important model for literary scholarship, one many others should follow.”

What Are Christians For?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Jake Meador reminds us that the purpose of the Christian life never changes according to time, place, or station, even if we of particular places and perspectives have difficulty seeing and applying such a complete vision in whole. . . . Simple and superficial, this book is not. In fact, there is so much wisdom, so much wholeness in these pages, that to read them is to be left wondering how we have gotten so far astray. Indeed, this book fills me with yearning. It sounds a bell that calls all within earshot to come back home and gather around the table for a filling feast that is ours to enjoy forever.”

Whitefield on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Evangelicalism has a rich, complicated, sometimes contradictory history. As one of evangelicalism’s founding leaders, George Whitefield too has a rich, complicated, and sometimes contradictory legacy. His life not only is worthy of study in itself but also illuminates the larger history of the movement. To better understand evangelicalism today, one can do no better than to read this probing account of Whitefield’s place in his time and ours.”

You Are Not Your Own

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“You Are Not Your Own is astonishing in its breadth and its depth, but even more remarkable for its compassionate and practical wisdom. This is an exceptional book by an exceptional voice for our times.”
