The God of Second Chances

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Clark's probe of prophets is itself prophetic: this book has the potential to move the church from despair to hope, from somnolence to divine presence, from wake-up to dream again.”

The Jesus Quotient

Church Leadership & Ministry

“We serve Jesus best not when we parrot marketing strategies in flattering an audience, or entreating an audience, or seducing an audience, but when we come to know an audience from the inside out. The Jesus Quotient builds on decades of previous writing and insight to propose a truly original and synergistic platform for raising your church to the next level.”

The Leadership Jump

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Looking for a bridge to the future? Take this one. When churches build a bridge by starting in the middle, the end result is a bridge to nowhere. Jimmy Long has traveled both sides, knows the depth of the chasm that separates the banks of established churches from emerging ones, and is conversant in the current conversations on either side of the scholarly divides. This book will help you be a bridgebuilder in your church, your family and your community.”

The Life

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Tired of the same old Sunday sermon? Mike Wilson’s The Life is a breath of fresh air. With raw honesty and a sprinkle of humor, he digs deep into Jesus’ teachings, showing us how they’re more relevant than ever. This isn’t your grandma’s devotional; it’s a practical guide to living like Jesus in today’s world. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and maybe even a little uncomfortable.”

The Man You Were Made to Be

Men

“In no-nonsense, power-packed language, Anthony Delaney shows how any old lump of coal can become a diamond—brilliant!”

The Multiplying Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Any book by Bob Roberts is an event. But this one is even more eventful than his others, primarily because the #1 church planter in North America shares his secrets with the rest of us. Your church, and your soul, can never be the same after reading this book.”

The Myth of the Non-Christian

Evangelism & Missions

“The world of real estate is ruled by one word repeated thrice: location, location, location. In the real world of relationships, which is the real estate of life, one word reigns supreme: context, context, context. Luke Cawley has written the new go-to book for contextual apologetics. This book is everywhere thoughtful and judicious; it is wide-ranging and deeply illuminating.”

The Pickoff

Christian Living

“Baseball and theology are a match made in heaven, but rarely have they been brought together with such pastoral wisdom and prophetic insight. Scott Womble has hit a spiritual grand slam, as his baseball metaphor brilliantly illuminates both the tactics of the enemy and the path to victory in Christ. Womble reminds us that Christianity isn’t a spectator sport—it’s about getting in the game and running the bases with passionate abandon. A must-read for anyone who wants to avoid being picked off by the enemy and score for the kingdom.”

The Remarkable Ordinary

Christian Living

“Frederick Buechner is not just a wordsmith but an image-smith—he’s the bridge between Gutenberg and Google.”

The Shaping of Things to Come

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Not often does a title of a book prophesy itself. But The Shaping of Things to Come has shaped things to come in the global Christian world like perhaps no one book published in the past decade. It truly is a ‘classic,’ and this new edition promises to continue its tradition of shaking and shaping.”

The Spirit of Jesus Unleashed on the Church

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a book that leads the reader into the open, fresh air of a faith that forms around relationships and Spirit, not rules and Law. In our world, where the ghostly empire of self is empty--empty of empathy for others, and empty of treasures for oneself--Ron Clark masterfully maps for us God's Holy Spirit Empire of love, beauty, truth, and goodness.”

The Study of Evangelism

Evangelism & Missions

“The wait has been worth it. Finally we have a collection of essays on evangelism to treasure that will only appreciate in value. The tone of the editors and the texture of their selections make this a book that will be invaluable for years to come.”

The Way of the Spirit

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“This book is a gift to the church—a glowing lantern for the inward journey. Jeremy Sims has a way of seeing that changes the way you see. In The Way of the Spirit, he invites us to trade our hurried faith for a long, loving look at the divine. His words are like 'wild stanzas' of grace, pulling us from the distractions of the world into the healing rhythms of the Spirit. It is a stunning, glowing achievement that will leave you more attentive, more attuned, more grounded, and more deeply in love with Jesus.”

The Winding Path of Transformation

Christian Living

“Very few authors could summon the courage to write this book. But be warned: it takes almost as much courage to read this book as it took to write it. If you go down this yellow-winding road with the author, you will move around the entire color wheel of emotions. You will gasp at its honesty; you will squirm and wince and feel uncomfortable at its vulnerability; you will shake your head in marvel and wonderment at its revelations; you will cry. But the promise of the title is real—your own journey will be transformed.”

They Like Jesus but Not the Church

Evangelism & Missions

“A tough-minded, clear-sighted look at authentic Christian living in the twenty-first century.”

Thin Places

History & Biography

“When I get my official copy of Thin Places, I’m thinking of having it bound in a gold-embossed bonded-leather cover with gilded page edges. Yes, it’s that much of a treasure to be cherished for a lifetime of reading. I’m tempted to request a zipper for its custom binding. That would symbolize DeMuth’s success at unlocking and interlacing her innermost story and soul with the Scriptures in a way that opens us all to the thickness of “thin.”

Transcendence at the Table

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Transfiguration and Hope

Theology

“Van Dussen's probing and provocative study of Jesus' ‘transfiguration’ reveals how much we are like Jesus' disciples, who instead of seeing the Spirit shining through him, inside-out transfiguration, still focus on ‘dazzling white’ robes and celestial visitors, outside-in transformation. Most importantly, Van Dussen shows on every page how much the world today needs transfiguration, not just transformation.”
