“Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity! Because God has given Scot the incredible gift of putting the proverbial 'cookies' of profound, biblical theology on a lower shelf - without diminishing the divine truisms - in a way that everyone can comprehend, wrestle with, and lean more fully into Jesus as a result. His writing style is engaging, his wisdom is revelatory, and his content consistently increases my affection for this redemptive love story we call the Bible. Dr. McKnight is pretty much a national treasure for Word nerds like me!”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Shine

Christian Living

“I love the idea that our calling as Christ followers is where our deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger intersect (as Francis Schaeffer said), so when I found out my dear friend Allison was writing a book on essentially that very subject, my heart did backflips! Shine is a literary match that will ignite the fuel in your soul purposed to burn brightly for the sake of the gospel.”

Singing in The Dark

Preaching & Worship

“Ginny’s masterful storytelling, personal transparency, and poetical exegesis help us revel in the hope we have, recover the hope we’ve lost, and lead image-bearers who feel completely bereft of hope toward the unconditional love and hope of Jesus Christ. This is more than a must-read; it’s a literary keepsake!”

Suffering

Christian Living

“Craig Keener is one of the kindest and humblest men I’ve ever met, who just so happens to be a brilliant Bible scholar. His wisdom is riddled with Jesus-shaped compassion, which makes him a trustworthy shepherd to follow into the sober subject matter of suffering. His exegesis of Scripture and the experiences he relates from the milieu of human hardship prove that getting the life we hoped for is not a sustainable source of peace, contentment, and joy. Instead, our Savior’s presence in those moments we didn’t hope for is what gives us peace beyond our understanding, contentment in the midst of chaos, and joy even when our eyes are wet with tears. This book is a necessary treasure.”

Tailor Made

Christian Living

“Alex Seeley is both a dear friend and one of the most effective ministers I’ve ever met. She consistently mines jewels out of the Holy Scriptures that I’ve tripped over in the past but never seen or appreciated until she held them up to the glorious light of the gospel. Tailor Made will absolutely help you fall more in love with Jesus and lead you further into the abundant, joyful, holy, purposeful, world-changing life He’s called us to!”

The Story of the Trinity

Theology

“This book is riddled with so many biblical truisms about the character and compassion of our Creator Redeemer, I found myself amening out loud before finishing the first chapter! And while his doctrinal content is substantive, Dr. Litfin’s writing style is refreshingly unstuffy. He generously puts the proverbial cookies of creedal theology on a shelf where everyone can enjoy them and lean further into the unconditional love of our Triune God as a result. In my experience as an oft-bumbling Christ follower, vocational Bible teacher, and doctoral candidate, it’s a glorious gift to get to sit at the feet of a brilliant theological scholar who has the tender heart of a pastor. The Story of the Trinity is that kind of experience.”

Thirsty for More

Christian Living

“In my experience, the ‘veil gets thinner’ during desert seasons, allowing us to see God more clearly. My dear friend Allison expounds on that theme so beautifully in Thirsty for More that you may just find yourself longing for a little more sand in your life!”

Traumatized Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Traumatized Church worked like a meat tenderizer on the hard, self-reliant lumps in my heart that seem to form overnight when I’m not vigilant about guarding it. McKnight and Gibson’s compelling and complex portrait of the agony and angst Paul went through when he was dealing with the Corinthian church is a poignant reminder that perfection is not a prerequisite for spiritual efficacy. The fact that at least one chapter in this great apostle’s story reveals tearstains on his face and grooves of grief in his soul proves we don’t have to curate our emotions to effectively communicate the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. And isn’t it almost always an acute awareness of our own brokenness that gives birth to the humility necessary for deep healing? Blessed are the vulnerable, because their longing for reconciliation points us all to the only true healer.”

Unexpected

Christian Living

“Christine doesn’t simply write about conquering the fear of unexpected heartbreak and hardship, she’s a doggone gospel gladiator waving the sword of truth as she charges into scary territory!”
