The Faithful Preacher

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Do yourself a favor; read this book, and share it with others.”

The Gospel at Work

Work, Money & Leadership

“I read every word of The Gospel at Work and loved it. I want to make this a basic staple in my discipling and get lots of copies. This provocative and practical book asks and answers the right questions in the right way. It will even help you know how to better pray—privately and publicly. Two of my favorite people have now produced one of my favorite books.”

The Nicene Creed

Christian Living

“Like the Nicene Creed itself, Kevin DeYoung has given us important truths in a short space. Historically informed, theologically informative, and biblically sensitive, this little book will help you understand why the Nicene Creed may be the most important words ever written outside of the words of the Bible.”

The Pilgrim's Progress

Christian Living

“This is one of the best books I’ve ever read.”

The Pleasures of God

Christian Living

“In our fallen world, staring at the sun blinds us. But, by God’s grace, contemplating God gives us spiritual sight. Of all of John Piper’s books, this is the most radical. Get this vision of God, and begin to see.”

Theologies of the American Revivalists

History & Biography

“In this one volume, Robert Caldwell has carefully traced the fascinating story of revival through an event-filled century of change. Dependent on primary sources and freshly locating figures from Fuller to Finney, this is important theology presented by an even-handed guide.”

What Is the Mission of the Church?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert have written an important book on an important topic. Fair, keenly observant, startlingly honest, this book is replete with careful exegetical work. Verses are not merely cited; they are considered in context. The length of an idea is considered, all the way from its expression in the local church back to its source in Scripture. The result is a book that is nuanced and clear, useful and enjoyable to read, and that is no small gift from two young pastor-theologians who have already become reliable voices. Open this book and you’ll want to open your Bible and open your mind on everything from justice to capitalism, from mercy to love.”

Who Is Jesus?

Theology

“Clearly Christian, but more than polite and respectful to the skeptic, this book helps you consider Jesus carefully. Gilbert throws fresh light upon familiar scenes, joining facts with their significance. It is artful, yet plain and full of beautiful biblical theology. Here is an invitation to you the reader to come to know Jesus yourself.”

Why We're Not Emergent

“Why We're Not Emergent crashes into the emerging conversation in a voice which hears "them" and talks back! This is a book we've been waiting for. With careful observation, faithful handling of Scripture, and an eye for the ironic and absurd, DeYoung and Kluck have given us a feel for what attracts some to emerging churches and thoughts about why that's sometimes a very bad thing. Buy and read this book. You'll enjoy it. And it could help you and the people you'll tell about it.”
