“Frederick Buechner gives new life to Christian truth.”
Christian Living
“In a world of corruption and cover-up, it is easy for us to become cynical. Instead, Sumner invites us to get angry with Jesus’ anger. Here is a compelling, biblically rich take on one of the least understood emotions within the church. With the Bible in one hand and this book in the other, we are given a gift: an invitation to allow even our anger to be refined and be made useful in the hands of God.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Drawing from years of experience leading a nonprofit and listening to the stories of women facing unintended pregnancy, Angela Weszely has given Christians today a fresh framework for thinking through abortion. Her prograce approach can help the church learn to better see and love women and children, the image bearers who often get lost amid the well-worn political debates. May this book lead more of us to find a way out of false binaries into the grace and truth modeled by Jesus.”
Christian Living
“American Christians of the past fifty years have tended to make two mistakes when it comes to Jesus’ return: either obsess over the details of when and where, or ignore its import altogether. In this biblically grounded, humble, and engaging book, pastor and writer Chris Davis helps the church recover the centrality of Christ’s return and how it shapes our daily lives and affections. Jesus’ return not only reorients our priorities, it also offers good news to those who labor under persecution, live with unhealed physical and emotional pain, and await justice for wrongdoing and abuse. Bright Hope for Tomorrow helps readers walk with a lighter step as we set our sights on the joy of seeing Jesus face to face.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Building on the work of philosopher Charles Taylor in A Secular Age, Alan Noble deftly describes unique modern barriers to life lived with and for the Triune God and calls fellow Christians to a better, full-bodied witness. Noble’s teaching gives me hope for the possibility of enfleshed Christian witness in an age that is prone to mostly shrug at ultimate questions. It will also leave more than a few of us disrupted ourselves.”
Doing Nothing Is No Longer an Option
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With honesty and humility, Jenny Booth Potter takes readers on a journey of awakening to the layers of racism that pervade every sector of society as well as recognizing her own passive and active participation in it. This book gives other white women permission to confess their own racism and refuse passivity, instead leaning in to the lifelong work of dismantling racist strongholds in their own lives and in the world.”
Preaching & Worship
“With palpable reverence and predictable erudition, Fleming Rutledge unearths the riches of the most overlooked season of the liturgical year. Epiphany is all about glory, chiefly the glory of the person of Christ revealed in majesty and power as the King of the Jews and Lord of the Gentiles in key moments of the biblical drama. In Epiphany and the season leading up to Lent, the church gathers a fresh chance to behold the glory of her Lord and to renew itself in the work of proclaiming his glory to the world.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Perman’s new book on productivity goes beyond the how of effectiveness to the why: Why do anything well? The answer is found in our theology. Excellence, attention, and care are all ways that we leaders love our God and our neighbors. Drawing on the wisdom of business gurus, neuroscientists, and pastors, Perman has provided a resource for all of us who desire to steward our time, talents, and resources better so that we can live out the gospel more faithfully and fully in the time we’ve been given.”
Christian Living
“With her signature depth and grace, Jen Pollock Michel casts a vision of home as both a human desire and a heavenly promise. She calls us to build imperfect dwellings alongside our loved ones in this life precisely because we are destined for a perfect dwelling in the life to come. Women and men alike will find joy in her vision of keeping house. This is a book that invites you in and lets you stay awhile, and I'm grateful for it.”
Women
“With unflinching honesty yet gentle compassion, Nikole Lim draws close to women who live under oppression, shame, and gender-based violence. But she also treats her subjects as more than victims. Rather, women like Nekesa, Mara, and Mubanga have something to teach any reader about their own pain and oppression, and show that liberation comes not through avoiding brokenness but by moving through it with the mercy and love of God.”
Christian Living
“If Christianity is to retain its witness in our frenetic and fragmented age, it must take root not only in the thoughts and emotions but also in the daily lives and even bodies of those who call Christ Lord. Tish Harrison Warren has beautifully 'enfleshed' the concepts and doctrines of our faith into quotidian moments, showing how every hour of each day can become an occasion of grace and renewal. If you want to know how faith matters amid messy kitchens, unfinished manuscripts, marital spats, and unmade beds, Liturgy of the Ordinary will train your eyes to see holy beauty all around.”
Christian Living
“When Megan Hill prays, one feels the force of an entire life spent communing with the triune God. Now, Hill provides both the theology and practical guidance to usher others into a rich life of prayer among fellow Christians and in corporate worship. This book will remind you of how good and pleasant it is when God’s people dwell—and pray—together in unity.”
Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
Women
“With a deep reverence for Scripture and a sincere search for truth, Aimee Byrd peels back the layers of culturally informed teachings on gender that keep both women and men from flourishing in Christ and in relationship with each other. This is the book that Christians who have been misled by popular notions of biblical manhood and womanhood—but who still believe that maleness and femaleness are meaningful categories in the church, home, and society—have been waiting for.”
Recovering from Purity Culture
Christian Living
“Reading Camden Morgante’s book gave me renewed hope that the generation who grew up within purity culture could reclaim both their faith and their sexuality. Dr. Morgante takes a comprehensive and compassionate approach to various harmful effects of purity culture, giving readers the tools needed to identify how purity teachings negatively impacted them and to discover a ‘values-congruent sexual ethic.’ As such, Recovering from Purity Culture is a work of reconstruction. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a both/and approach to sexuality in a world of either/or answers.”
Christian Living
“With plenty of research and vulnerable storytelling, Melissa Johnson’s book has the power to loosen the chains of shame and self-hatred that have been sold to women for generations. Soul-Deep Beauty will reorient readers to the Source of their true worth and help them counter cultural lies with the truth that they are whole, loved, and free.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Individual bodies can't heal until they receive a diagnosis. Likewise, the body of Christ can't heal until it learns what is making it sick. With bold storytelling and deep engagement with the biblical text, Ruth Everhart diagnoses the unchecked power, patriarchy, and shallow forms of forgiveness that plague many Christian communities grappling with abuse. She also points to the cure: a better, more biblical practice of justice for victims. May this book ensure that more victims' cries for justice are finally heard.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“For anyone who has been curious about birdwatching, Ragan Sutterfield's lyrical love letter to this pastime is a wonderful place to start. Beyond the inherent joy of seeing a flash of brilliant color at the birdfeeder or hearing the mournful hoot of an owl on a forest walk, the birds provide us with a way of paying attention to, and thus loving, the created world. May Watch and Wonder restore our amazement at the variety, beauty, and interdependence of creation--and our commitment to care for it as our home.”
Christian Living
“With compassion and humility, Bishop Todd Hunter offers a lifeline to the many people who have been hurt in and by the contemporary church, by inviting us to see with fresh eyes the person and mission of Jesus. As it turns out, Christ spoke against the 'bad religion' of his day and invited his original hearers, and us, into his kingdom where questions are welcomed, dignity is restored, and goodness is tangibly evident in our world and among our neighbors. If you're intrigued by Jesus but skeptical of the church, this book suggests you're in the right place.”
What Your Body Knows About God
Science & Faith
“Body or soul? Brain or spirit? In this carefully researched, engaging book, Rob Moll shows how biblical Christianity brings together the parts of the human we too often divide against each other. Thank God, he has made us for glory that extends to the tips of our toes and even to our neural pathways. Read this and let your whole self rejoice.”
