Luke A. Powery
Preaching & Worship
“Through a study of the Psalms and hymns, Walter Brueggemann calls the church to its primary doxological vocation—singing praise to God! At a time when many congregations have lost their singing voice, this book invites us to the joyful, even subversive, gift of song that tunes up for God while turning down the volume on other cultural gods. Read this book and you’ll be made glad and discover why and what we should sing, but even more, you’ll discover a deeper, fuller life grounded in the covenantal music of God.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“I can think of no other person, scholar, teacher, or preacher whom I’d want to take me on a journey through the ABCs of Scripture. Her homiletical imagination will set you free. Read her words, and you will fall in love with the incarnate Word all over again.”
Preaching & Worship
“Professor Karoline Lewis is a sagely guide for lay preachers and all preachers. This gem of a book provides homiletical tools for those who might sense some trepidation in the ministry of preaching, but it also proclaims the homiletical wisdom that preaching is truly a way of life. Lewis reminds every reader, novice, or seasoned preacher of the gospel, that the goal of preaching is to be faithful and the most significant sermon one will ever preach is the one you proclaim with your life.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Love is stronger than death, and this honest, compelling, insightful book on the ethical lens of love by Professor Jonathan L. Walton will resurrect your biblical interpretation. Your ethics of reading Scripture will be guided by a hermeneutic of love. By this approach, Walton stands in a long tradition of biblical interpreters who believe that the rule of love is the greatest rule to follow when reading and living. When you open the pages of this book, you’ll feel the love, too, and remember once again that the ‘greatest of these’ is love.”
History & Biography
“Bishop Will Willimon is a Jesus-loving, story-telling, truth-talking, laugh-generating gift from God for the church. You might think this memoir is about him, but it is really about God, a God who calls, unwittingly, unexpectedly, accidentally. But nothing with God is accidental, not even your reading of this book. So when you open these pages that preach, you’ll thank God that you did! This is a literary gem, an honest and holy revelation about vocation.”
Alternative to the Bread of Affliction
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“For many years, Walter Brueggemann has been an exegete-poet-prophet-preacher extraordinaire. This book of sermons confirms again the revelation of his homiletical gifts for the life of the church. In his distinct bold style and voice, he reminds every reader that the gospel is still good news! His words will not feed readers the bread of affliction but rather break open the eternal bread of life.”
Fiction
“David Howell does it again! Buried Dreamer is a compelling, literary voyage you dare to take if you aren’t afraid to experience the full-throttled dreams of a buried soldier. Through the many dangers, toils, and snares of life experiences detailed in this novel, readers will discover that although people may be buried, dreams never die. Take and read and dream.”
Arts & Literature
“Scholar, teacher, poet-preacher Charles L. Bartow offers the refreshing gift of a liturgical poesis that weds poetry and preaching to doxology, showing us once again that he is more than a poet or preacher; he is a doxologian, a contemporary psalmist attune to the cries of praise and lament rising from the earth to God's cruciform altar. This theo-poetic offering will strangely warm every reader's heart during every season of life. Enter this poetic liturgy at your own risk because these words will usher you to the throne of God.”

“Craig Barnes offers readers a diary full of grace and truth about pastoral ministry. His writing is a salve for the human soul. But more than that, the Holy haunts this book.”

He invites us into his faith-rooted classroom with honesty and hope so that we might learn more clearly what it means to have the skills and courage to speak and do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God in the public square.”
From This Day Forward–Rethinking the Christian Wedding
Preaching & Worship
“Kimberly Bracken Long writes a hopeful, compelling, and refreshing vision of Christian marriage with the recognition that a fancy wedding doesn’t make a faithful marriage. Through historical, scriptural, theological, and practical considerations, she guides the reader toward the unfailing and unifying love of God that is the firm foundation of any marriage and life. Her forgiving, mutual, compassionate, and just vision cuts through contemporary anguish and debates about marriage and reestablishes the ground of hope in God. This book will stir your heart and mind to long for the wedding banquet feast to come when we take our seat and put our feet under God’s table.”
Preaching & Worship

Strawn is a world-class biblical theologian, a truth-teller, and if we follow his wisdom, the Christian pulpit will eventually be set free to tell the honest-to-God truth and nothing but the truth.”
How to Become a Multicultural Church
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In an age when diversity can be demonized, Doug Brouwer reveals its beauty as the heart of the gospel and the embodiment of the kingdom of God on earth. Through his rich pastoral experience, particularly at the beloved IPC, he reveals the joys, frustrations, and gifts that emerge in a multicultural congregation. He is an honest, seasoned, and wise guide who will fill readers with the hope that Pentecost is still possible today.”
Preaching & Worship
“Donyelle McCray leads readers to the shorelines of homiletics to discover fresh preaching pearls from ancestral wisdom. This wisdom stretches the human imagination as wide as the work of the Holy Spirit to reveal the fluidity of sermon genres. Like the Pentecostal dynamite power of the Spirit, McCray blows up myopic paradigms of what a sermon is and challenges us to see the Spirit of proclamation poured out on all genres, from singing to quilting. This groundbreaking book will not only ignite a critical conversation about multivocality in the field of homiletics; it will change the field for years to come.”
