“Miller takes no prisoners as he cuts to the heart of the American obsession with fads, an obsession that is just as strong among Christians as it is among the secular population. Rather than merely list and critique the fads of the last half-century, Miller carefully diagnoses the causes of our obsession and offers solutions for restoring sanity and depth to the American church.”

A Complete Handbook of Literary Forms in the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Leland Ryken’s handbook is a well-conceived, concisely written, hugely helpful resource for students and teachers alike. Far from turning the Bible into ‘mere’ literature, Ryken draws us deeper into the authoritative and inerrant truths of the Scriptures. Just as we cannot know Christ apart from his incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth, so we cannot fully know the Bible until we understand the literary forms in which it was written.”

An Afternoon with C. S. Lewis

History & Biography

“This insightful and accessible collection of essays by scholars in Ontario, Canada, can be read and appreciated by both lay and scholarly readers of C. S. Lewis. For beginners, it provides a helpful overview of Lewis the novelist, apologist, and literary critic. For advanced readers, it wrestles alongside Lewis’s arguments, respecting and clarifying them while also offering constructive criticism.”

Apocalyptic Fervor

Arts & Literature

“Ken Bazyn takes his signature style—imagistic in its thick use of overlapping symbols, metaphysical in its yoking together of unexpected metaphors from multiple disciplines—and applies it to the end times. Coupled with photographs that mingle the ordinary with the mystical and the surreal, the poems explore, intellectually and viscerally, what the end times mean. Veils are lifted; judgment, death, and power reveal their terrifying visage; believers are called to trust and persevere.”

C. S. Lewis: Anti-Darwinist

Science & Faith

“This is absolutely first rate, the best thing I've read on the subject. . . . Bergman's research touches on every major issue related to Lewis and Darwinism. . . . I am very, very impressed by this work. Bergman has done something very important and timely, and I hope that this book will be read by many persons.”

Discipleship and Spiritual Warfare

Discipleship & Christian Education

“This well-written and highly engaging book takes a deep dive into the subtle temptations that trip us up on our Christian walk and cause us, like Dante, to fall off the true path. Thiago Silva really ‘gets’ C. S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters, and he uses that insight both to illuminate the core message of Lewis’s book and to offer practical pastoral advice on how to avoid the snares of the devil. I feel quite sure that Satan does not want you to read this book!”

Echoes of Eden

Arts & Literature

“Jerram Barrs offers a compelling Christian defense of the imagination as a vehicle of truth and of the need to reclaim an imitative (as opposed to a self-expressive) view of the arts. He not only quotes C. S. Lewis wisely, but has written a book of which Lewis would have approved.”

Faith, Reason, and Beyond Reason

Philosophy

“Rejecting the modernist war of faith versus reason, Mark Boone argues in this fine collection of essays that faith transcends reason by exploring the personal element of trust built on the empirical foundation on which reason rests. With Kant, Augustine, Kierkegaard, William James, Alvin Plantinga, and Islamic philosopher Allama Iqbal as his interlocutors, Boone helps rescue the traditional Christian worldview from the artificial facts/values split propagated by the Enlightenment.”

George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles

History & Biography

“Drawing widely on George MacDonald's novels, stories, poems, and sermons, Larsen boldly presents him to us in all of his heterodoxical orthodoxy. Here is a fiery Scotsman with a capacious faith and vision who could find Christ in the most unlikely of places.”

Gethsemane Moon

Fiction

“This is a bold, original, and highly literate attempt to take the reader directly into the mind of Jesus during passion week. Taking seriously the biblical teaching that Christ was tempted in all ways as we are but was without sin, Jon Birch pits his hero against all the wiles of Satan. Borrowing from the epic struggles of the heroes of the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, and Pilgrim’s Progress, Birch creates a three-dimensional character who is as much fully God as he is fully man. Make this your next Easter devotional!”

God's Story in 66 Verses

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“What a great idea for a book, and how skillfully executed! God’s Story in 66 Verses will help make the Bible accessible and compelling for a distracted generation perpetually on the move.”

Sex and the Unreal City

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Through page after page of Sex and the Unreal City blows what C. S. Lewis called 'the clean sea breeze of the centuries'. Funny, bracing, and dripping with Chestertonian wit and common sense!”

The Good News of the Return of the King

Apologetics

“Michael Jahosky’s simple yet profound thesis, that The Lord of the Rings is a parable rather than an allegory, allows him to open up the world of Tolkien’s Middle-earth in such a way as to find the gospel lurking therein. Without putting words in Tolkien’s mouth, he demonstrates that Tolkien is telling the same kind of story as the gospel with its promised return of the true king.”

The Good, the True, the Beautiful

Philosophy

“A fascinating potpourri of essays that takes up everything from philosophy to pop culture, from aesthetics to apologetics without ever straying too far from the classroom. A fine tribute to the worldview thinking and pedagogical commitments of David Naugle.”

The Heart in Pilgrimage

Christian Living

“Having already opened the eyes of the body of Christ to its treasury of devotional poetry in The Soul in Paraphrase, Leland Ryken now widens our vision to take in the depth and breadth of two millennia of devotional prose. Running the gamut from the giants of the genre (Augustine, John Donne, Jonathan Edwards, Martin Luther, Brother Lawrence, Blaise Pascal, Julian of Norwich, Bernard of Clairvaux) to writers we do not usually identify with devotional writing (Florence Nightingale, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, George MacDonald, Jane Austen, George Washington Carver), The Heart in Pilgrimage conducts its readers on a spiritual journey that is well worth taking.”

The Medieval Mind of C. S. Lewis

Arts & Literature

“Without the rich spiritual and literary legacy of the Middle Ages, C. S. Lewis would not have matured into the great apologist, essayist, and fiction writer that he became. Dante scholar Jason Baxter is just the right person to open up that legacy for modern readers and trace how deeply Lewis was shaped not only by the medieval worldview but by the way the medievals thought and felt and interacted with the spiritual and natural world around them.”

The Messiah Comes to Middle-Earth

Arts & Literature

“Ryken effectively draws out Tolkien's subtle use of Christ's threefold office (prophet, priest, king) by filtering his argument not only through the best of Tolkien scholarship but through the Old Testament, the church fathers, the Reformers, and his own multifaceted role as president of a Christ-centered college.”

The Romantic Rationalist

History & Biography

“Paints a well-rounded, sharply observed portrait that balances criticism with a deep love and appreciation for the works and witness of Lewis. The writers have all absorbed Lewis into their bones, and they invite us to do the same.”

The Story of the Family

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This book is exactly what the doctor ordered for a society that has lost its mind when it comes to defining the family and the sexes. A timely and seminal collection of Chestertonian wit and wisdom on marriage and divorce, love and sex, parents and children, birth control and public education.”

True Myth

Apologetics

“True Myth is an important book that has long needed to be written. Menzies has done yeoman service in synthesizing a great deal of material on topics that deserve closer examination. While being fair to the legacy of Joseph Campbell, Menzies presents a rich and nuanced understanding of myth that would have pleased C. S. Lewis.”
