Appreciate These Things

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“As a Sunday school child, I heard Philippians 4:8 as an admonition to wrangle my thoughts and constrain my heart, to block out sin by a mind control that allows only good things. But reading this book, I felt my jaw unclench and my shoulders drop, drawn into Duffield’s loving view of God, of life, of others, and of Scripture. Hers is an invitation into the compassion that lies at the heart of it all. Her stories, teachings, practices, and questions offer new channels of understanding for me—and a gentle assurance that gratitude is indeed the way to peace.”

Church for Everyone

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Here is just the book for our present moment: an enlivening vision of a church that nourishes life in its fullness, fosters true relationships between diverse people, and brings us closer to the God who loves us all. May we hear and heed this call to hope.”

Companions in the Darkness

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“With wise insight and palpable compassion, Diana Gruver recounts the oh-so-human stories of Christians revered across the centuries as leaders, as achievers, as exemplars. For all of their fame as 'great' Christians, these saints tasted their ownradical vulnerability and knew the anguish of mental illness. To all who seek God yet suffer, there is comfort to be found in this sacred company among the brothers and sisters who lived faithfully amid struggle, the companions and guides who assure us that depression will not have the last word. Practical and deeply personal, Companions in the Darkness is a gift to us all.”

Everything Could Be a Prayer

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Through insightfully curated word and stunning art, Kreg Yingst brings us into the company of those luminous ones who keep things going--inviting us, too, to join in the way of redeeming faithfulness.”

Love Big, Be Well

Fiction

“In the venerable epistolary tradition of Saint Paul and François Fénelon, Winn Collier brings us glowing spiritual letters for today, wholehearted meditations on friendship, grief, hope, doubt—and faith in a loving God who is near. Love Big, Be Well is a beautiful book for strugglers and seekers, written by a compassionate pastor we come to love.”

Our Church Speaks

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Like brilliant stained glass in cathedral windows, saints are people who let the light shine through: humans broken yet radiant and splendid, illuminated not by their own goodness but by God's glory. Our Church Speaks holds up preachers, healers, artists, reformers, women, men, and children, fifty-two saints from across times and places who scatter light of every imaginable hue. They inspire me with wonder: what are my own peculiar colors, created to display God's presence in the world?”
