Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Mike Tenbusch lays out a beautiful and simple expression of the gospel at work in Detroit—churches mobilizing people to love and serve children by investing in schools. This church-school partnership piece is key to loving and serving our cities in Jesus' name, and this book and these stories will inspire more churches to get involved, believing God will change lives as a result.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“I am proud to call Ebony Small a friend. Few young leaders have the intellectual, spiritual, and social qualities Ebony exhibits, and fewer still have the ability to share what they have learned quite so effectively. In The Leader in You Ebony uses her life story to share deep, practical advice on how all of us can become more useful tools in building the kingdom. We are all leaders in one way or another, and I am grateful that God raises up amazing young leaders like Ebony so that we can all become more effective.”
The Spirit of Jesus Unleashed on the Church
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“With equal parts exegesis and experience, I've watched Ron Clark and Agape dive deep into the core mission of Jesus--to reach people on the margins of society. Spirit Unleashed masterfully unfolds the book of Acts as the epic expansion of the Empire of Jesus and challenges every believer to boldly follow the Spirit into their communities through service, relationship, and sharing the good news.”
What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In my 30+ years of working with pastors around the world, I've never seen this level of personal anxiety and insecurity, as we face the challenges and pressures of this kairos moment. We need strong local churches more than ever. What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right lays out the foundational qualities pastors and ministry leaders need in these challenging times. Based on years of dedicated research with hundreds of pastors, it's full of practical examples and guidance that can fill in the gaps of what gets missed in seminary. Every one of us has weak spots in our pastoral leadership. This book can help us become more joyful, confident, and fruitful as we fulfill our part in building Christ's kingdom.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“I found it hard to read more than 3–4 pages without stopping, as it forced me to strongly consider what God was saying to me, through this fresh look at Jesus' words in His most famous sermon. For many of us, the Sermon on the Mount has become too familiar for our own good. We've neutered it by this familiarity, and often miss the way it was designed to bring us to our knees. I'm going to be reading this for years to come. Skye remains a gift to the church, and a prophetic voice that we desperately need for these challenging times!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“My friend Mark Strong and his folks at Life Change Church have navigated the struggles of gentrification here in Portland, Oregon, and have done so with grace and prophetic vision. Who Moved My Neighborhood? offers practical and faithful insights for churches struggling with the inevitable challenges that develop as our communities change. Healing, hope, and great impact are possible!”
Evangelism & Missions
“At a time when many are assuming that the Christian movement across America is down for the count, Rick Richardson provides far more than a ray of hope. In his new book, You Found Me, Rick describes the strategies that the top 10 percent of churches growing through actual conversion (conversion communities) are using to make headway in evangelism, living out and joyfully sharing the good news. In my hometown of Portland, Oregon, a proudly progressive and unchurched place, we've seen great gospel progress through active engagement with our community, which is seeking to continually encourage and equip everyday believers to share their faith. Unchurched people are far more open than we give them credit for. There's so much more we can do to share in the harvest, which Jesus continues to assure us is ripe and ready!”
Christian Living
“We live in times when our souls are languishing, and not through lack of effort. More is spent on self-improvement than ever before, yet we see the signs of decay everywhere. What shape is your soul these days? My friend Dominic Done has done us all a great favor in writing this look at life through the lens of one of Jesus’ best friends: Peter. Who better than Peter to guide us into the life and ways of Jesus? We are designed by God himself to walk with him as beloved children.”
