Character Matters

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Character Matters is written by a pastor for pastors, but I would recommend it for pastors' wives, missionaries, Bible study leaders, and every other Christian who wants to see more of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in his or her life. Aaron Menikoff is the real deal, transparent about the challenges of ministry and even his own weaknesses. He humbly cares for others, loves the church and desires to glorify the Lord in his life and his shepherding. This comes through in his book, which is full of insightful truths that will help you examine your heart and grow in Christlikeness. As I read, I was convicted and challenged but always encouraged as gracious words pointed me over and over to the work of our Lord Jesus as the foundation for any good fruit. Read this book and let it spur you on to Spirit-wrought character.”

Disciplines of a Godly Woman

Christian Living

“Through Disciplines of a Godly Woman, Barbara Hughes has been a cherished mentor to me. She has taught me what it means to be a gospel-centered woman, and the Holy Spirit used the book to ignite in me a greater desire to know God through his Word. Not a ‘white-knuckle’ do-better book on spiritual disciplines, it addresses the heart and gives deeply thoughtful advice on how a woman can center her life on Christ. This book is my first choice to read with other women, and we recommend it regularly at our church. Read this book; let it change your life; and, then, share it with others.”

Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy

Christian Living

“Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy is a must-read for every Christian. Our world is full of conflict with people dividing over everything—race, healthcare, the environment, even the food we eat. But Christians are different. Our unity is in Christ alone. This unity isn’t easy but displays Christ to the world and can prevail over anything that threatens to divide us. Read this book to stoke your affections for your church and grow in loving others from the heart.”

Prioritizing Missions in the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Do you want your church to raise up missionaries and have an impact on the world? Are you interested in proclaiming Christ in foreign lands and supporting those who do? If so, read this book! From vastly different backgrounds, Menikoff and Singh give biblical counsel that will enable churches worldwide to faithfully ‘hammer away’ at raising up fruitful missionaries and partnering with them for the Great Commission.”

Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Nancy Guthrie rightly sees Christ in all of Scripture. Even in the details of biblical accounts, Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus points to the overarching story of the one who transforms sinners. Gather some friends and get drawn into the stories to see the impact Jesus had on the lives of hypocrites, crooks, and criminals. You might just find yourself mirrored in the characters, and your heart will be stirred as you come to know Christ better.”

The Lord's Prayer

Christian Living

“Even though one of the greatest privileges we have as Christians is to come to our heavenly Father in prayer, we often struggle to pray. The Lord’s Prayer begins with how we should pray, expounds on what Jesus taught us to pray, and ends in a crescendo of God-exalting prayer. It will give you a sense of the greatness of the God who listens to our prayers, which will spur you on to pray. Read this book, then read it again with someone in your church.”

What Is a Healthy Church?

Christian Living

“I’m eternally grateful for this book and its author. Sitting under expositional preaching and becoming a member of a healthy church changed my life. Then I watched the principles in this book transform my church. It doesn’t matter what country or culture you live in—to be a healthy Christian, you need a healthy church. Read this eminently practical book and grow in love for your local church.”
