Marriage, Family & Relationships

“If you are looking for a book that equips and empowers parents to train children for a life with God, this is it. Sarah Cowan Johnson brings together head and heart in this insightfully instructive manual for the discipleship of children and families. Teach Your Children Well is filled with creative ideas and authentic stories for every developmental stage.”

Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus, Dave Ripper maps out the clues left by Dallas Willard for engaging with the Bible. Through story and scholarship, Dave weaves a comprehensive invitation for meeting God up close and personal through Scripture. Read this book, accept the helpful invitations at the end of each chapter, and prepare to get to know Jesus more deeply than you did before.”

Forming Resilient Children

Children & Youth

“With masterful use of engaging story and sound research, Holly Catterton Allen has given us a thorough and thoughtful exploration into the innate connection between children's spirituality and resilience. She offers practical insights that enable each of us to participate in nurturing resilience in children within the everyday fabric of life where hope and wonder reside. Dr. Allen doesn't avoid the hard topics but gently offers guidance around accompanying children as they process their grief and trauma. Forming Resilient Children is the book the world needs right now. Every adult who hopes for good needs to read this book for the good of the children within their circle of influence; our present and future demand it. Forming Resilient Children is a book that I will be returning to over and over; I recommend it highly.”

Hopeful Lament

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Terra McDaniel accompanies us into the waters of loss and lament in her book Hopeful Lament. She offers a helpful perspective around how we in Western society have forgotten the healing practice of lamenting. She is a faithful guide for reentering the healing practice of lament through wise and embodied ways to pray and process our sorrows. Terra doesn't shirk from the deep wounds and authentic sorrows of our day. She doesn't offer us a way around them (as if there were one), but she advocates lamenting as a way through while holding the hand of our living, loving Christ. One of the uniquely wonderful aspects of this book is Terra's inclusion of practices for families with children. We experience loss together; together we lament, and together we heal.”

Learning Humility

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Learning Humility is Richard Foster's pilgrim journey seeking and showing the way of humility. This tender, gentle retelling weaves the wisdom of the Lakota peoples and the humble way of Christ and his followers to reveal a stirring vision of humility. In our day of overheated egos and endless self-fixation, Foster offers us the cool water of deeper connection found through humility. In the midst of our confusion, he shows the slow and welcome process of clarity found through humility. This is the book I've been looking for, and I will return to it over and over, continuing to learn this humble way that my soul longs for.”

Not Finished Yet

Children & Youth

“Not Finished Yet is a warm and welcoming story that invites children and their adults to bring all the parts of themselves to God. Nestled in the safe relationship of grandparent and grandchild, children are invited to enter creatively into color, shape, and form as ways to express their feelings to God. Not Finished Yet is one to enter into over and over again with the child most near to you. I highly recommend it.”
