“Hull, I believe, correctly identifies that though there is a growing concern among some evangelicals about the lack of true spiritual formation, this is a problem of a more fundamental nature that has been with many of us for much longer than many of us realize, namely, a vapid version of the gospel. He makes a compelling and inarguable case that the cross of Christ requires us to restore the crucial dimension of discipleship—a long obedience in the footsteps of Jesus— to our proclamations and invitations. I couldn’t agree with him more. Until we make the crucial correction, it’s useless to think we can expect our people to get excited about things like serving the overlooked or racial reconciliation.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Of the many books I've read on this subject, Milne's by far is one of the most biblically comprehensive and compelling. When I picked it up, I didn't need to be any more convinced that the church exists to model the new humanity that Christ has made possible. After finishing this well-thought-out work, I'm not only more convinced of this divine mandate, I'm even more excited to proclaim it and pursue it. I love this book!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“As a somewhat formally unexplored Seven, I found so much of my own journey on each page of Gideon Tsang's forty days of public self-examination. Did I, too, become a pastor as a subconscious effort to win the approval that my father withheld for most of my life? Is my owning nine bikes and a shelf full of professional camera gear an outgrowth of my own gluttonous propensities as it is for Gideon? Being almost twenty years further down the road than him, I can fully attest that the lesson of living each day with my worth fully sourced in Christ and his unbounded, unabashed love for me is also what has made my being a Seven much more of a blessing to myself and others than a curse. This book was incredibly validating and convicting!”

“I can appreciate why the Lord has invited Eunice to write More Christ, More Me because her story of overcoming unhealthy enmeshment to embrace a healthier differentiation is one that many others could benefit greatly from. In my honest opinion, her book should be required reading for any Asian American or Korean American in seminary, serving in a church, and even already leading or pastoring. Her honesty and depth of reflection are a breath of fresh air.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“What Gilbreath has done in his well-researched and very personal book is not only to call out the black Christian experience as what it's always been--unique, pain-filled, rich and diverse--but he's given many African American Christians clear validation for not wanting to or having to assimilate into today's version of evangelicalism. Gilbreath has also given people like me--an Asian American Christian who's also felt like the 'token' nonwhite on historically white evangelical boards--more of a basis for our lingering sense of misgiving and even episodes of outrage. I am going to insist not only that my own church staff and leaders read this book; I'm also going to recommend highly that white Christian organizations with the stated goal of racial righteousness study and discuss it. This book clearly stands out among the many other great books on this subject because of the commitment and courage of the author.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“God's perfect love certainly can cast out fear, but I never truly understood how God does that until learning more about being a shame-based person. Sandra Wilson has written an incredibly needed resource--especially for those of us from shame-based cultures--on how finally to experience exquisite freedom in Christ.”
Sunburnt Country, Sweeping Pains
Women
“Hill and Kim believe that Asian Australian Christian women, in particular, are some of the good Samaritans. They can bring deep healing and hope to the dying churches in their country. . . . It remains to be seen whether white male-dominated churches in Australia (and America) will take their cues from Jesus and put their trust in those good Samaritans that they have typically marginalized and oppressed. I agree with the authors that failing to do so will be fatal.”
The Pursuit of God in the Company of Friends
Christian Living
“As a pastor who has begun 'deprogramming' the church in order to build deeper neighborhood-centered communities of faith, I am thrilled to find Lamb's timely and on-target book. Readers will appreciate not only his thoroughness but also his personal commitment to pursuing God through the company of friends.”
