Christian Living
“Having recently turned forty, I'm grateful for how 40/40 Vision provides a great opportunity to reflect on the past and look toward a meaningful future. We don't want this second half of life to slip by. We're invited to live it faithfully and fully—in how we love our families, serve in the world, do our work and seek God.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Renee has written a beautiful book that bursts with life even as it faces tragedy and death. It shines with hope though it passes through heartbreak. She is profoundly generous to share her life with us like this on these pages. You'll cry with her, but also smile often. As Renee invites you to witness what she has witnessed, you'll be inspired in your faith, your love, and your life.”
Evangelism & Missions
“The word insider in the title is accurate but also misleading, because the joy of reading this book is learning more about how God acts and moves in people's lives outside of where and how we might expect. Dyrness takes us through the Bible, theology, history, culture, and case studies to open our eyes to different ways Jesus is being followed today. As a result, our eyes are opened to God's redemptive grace moving creatively in the world. And we're better prepared for thoughtful missions work that participates in God's story without imposing unnecessary cultural baggage.”
Christian Living
“Keeping Place is a lovely reflection on home—from our spiritual longing to the nitty gritty of keeping a house. As Jen takes us through reflections on her life and other people's stories, through literature and Scripture, I was grateful to delve deeper into the role of place in many aspects of our lives. In a transient time, this book is a welcome invitation to consider how we do life with each other and with God.”
Evangelism & Missions
“I'm so grateful for Scott, his role in missions and how he is hungry for new, turned-upside-down ways to follow Jesus. This book will provoke important, hope-filled conversations about how to keep finding our way to love and serve in Christ's name with our neighbors across the divides of money, power and culture.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Brian Howell's insight into the overarching narrative of short-term trips is thought-provoking and practical. I hope many pastors and trip leaders read this book. Everyone involved in these trips--those going and those being visited--deserves a more thoughtful, eyes-wide-open approach like Howell advocates for here.”
“Though shame often exerts hidden, destructive power over us, The Soul of Shame invites us to find freedom with each other and in God's story of love for us. Curt Thompson weaves together experience, insightful stories, science and Scripture to invite us into a story of healing and flourishing together. This excellent book will help to guide my thoughts and relationships for a long time.”
The Fellowship of the Suffering
Christian Living
“Reading this book truly is an experience of fellowship as we're guided through this difficult subject. If suffering is in any way part of your life (and I'm sure it is!), then I highly recommend this vulnerable, biblical, wise, practical, and important book. I'm grateful for my time in fellowship with Borthwick and Ripper and you will be too.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Kelley Nikondeha walks us vividly through Scripture, history, and the complexities of today. Advent--with its longing, lament, hope, challenges, and calling--comes more alive page by beautifully written page. This book has made Advent more meaningful for me, and I highly recommend it because I believe it will do the same for you.”
