“Praise for Searching for Sunday As you read Searching for Sunday, you will feel that you are being breathed into, not just by Held Evans, but also I think, by the Holy Spirit, who felt very near, right at hand, as I was turning these pages.”
History & Biography
“This brave and wonderful book made me feel gratitude, care, and something like quiet awe. And it made me think—about generational inheritance, about the ways violence lingers, about forgiveness, and, most abidingly, about my own dead mother. I think of her, and of myself unto her, differently now that I've read Shattered.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“N. T. Wright’s introduction to Jesus is erudite (and yet also entertaining), and decidedly thought-provoking—I find myself pondering each chapter, hours after I had put the book down. But this is more than just a smart study. Somewhat to my surprise, I felt that, in reading Simply Jesus, I was really coming to know Jesus better; reading Simply Jesus, I actually felt Him near.”
Suicide and the Communion of Saints
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Vivid, this book is. Searing. Learned. Compassionate. Wise. And perhaps oddly, given the gravity of the topic, reading Suicide and the Communion of Saints is—I won’t say ‘pleasurable,’ but deeply satisfying, in that rare way that only reading something true, important, and translucent to the light of Jesus can be.”
Christian Living
“A distillation of Stanley Hauerwas’s thought, and a distillation of love—these letters should find a home on your bookcase. But make sure that it is easily accessed, as you’ll want to take The Character of Virtue down often, flip it open to any page, and immerse yourself in its loving, bracing wisdom.”
History & Biography
“With this book, Margot Starbuck unleashes her new, very welcome voice. She narrates the Christian spiritual life with winsome humor and (occasionally scary) honesty. Pretty much every woman I know will be getting The Girl in the Orange Dress for her birthday.”
Christian Living
Foreword
“In the company of The Great Belonging 's fearless and smart author, Charlotte Donlon, we, the readers, are allowed to indulge our interest in loneliness. I hope you and your loneliness will love this book as much as I do.”
Arts & Literature
“These 'occasional pieces' in fact add up to a marvelous whole--an erudite, provocative whole, at times winsome and at times bracing. They are abundant with wisdom about the pursuit of art, faith, and mystery (our pursuit of them, or, sometimes more properly, their pursuit of us). They are, in short, a gift.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“It seems very unsabbath-like to describe a book about Sabbath with the adverb “urgently”—but we urgently need this book. Mark Buchanan shows us that our business is killing us—killing us—and that Sabbath is our best cure, our best path for rest and reverence and discipleship.”
Preaching & Worship
“Nora Gallagher is a writer I would follow anywhere, but it is a particular thrill to follow her to the Lord’s Table; I know of no contemporary writer whose insights about the Eucharist match hers.”
Christian Living
Foreword
“I'll be conversing with, riffing on, and returning to The Scandal of Holiness for months and years to come, because, although it is not fiction, like the best fiction, The Scandal of Holiness prods the imagination. It opens out. It exceeds itself.”
Arts & Literature
“Honest, stimulating, practical and wise. This book is going on my shelf of absolute essentials.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Provocative, thoughtful, even prophetic, The Suburban Christian is a book the church badly needs.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“My dictionary doesn't have enough enthusiastic adjectives for this book, which I adore. . . Everyone who loves the church or struggles with the church or is just plain curious about the church will relish every page.”
History & Biography
“Open this book, and walk with holy fools and prophetic rebels as they struggle against all that would separate them from God. And what a blessing to have Jerry Sittser as a guide through the history of Christian spirituality! He writes not just as a scholar and a teacher, but also as a Christian who has long walked the narrow path, keeping company with God, and both his wisdom and his winsomeness mark every page.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“For years, John Perkins and Charles Marsh have been two of our most important figures in the discussion of--and pursuit of--reconciliation. Now, from their passion for justice, their love of the gospel and their friendship with one another, comes this gem, which may be the most important book either of them has written yet.”
Christian Living
“I love this book! It has made me think differently about what I do in church on Sunday morning, and about how Sunday morning reaches toward and might reshape the things I do on Tuesday or Saturday. Part of what this book shows me is that whether I find worship 'meaningful' doesn't really matter; worship is for God, not for me. At the same time, James Howell does help me find worship more meaningful; he helps me notice some of the ways worship shimmers.”
Worshiping with the Church Fathers
Preaching & Worship
“Christopher Hall's wonderful introduction to prayer and worship in the early church will not only draw you closer to the church fathers--it will draw you closer to God.”
