Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“How refreshing to see an exegete wrestle, not with biblical scholarship, but with the text of Scripture itself. And not just any text but, to my mind, perhaps the most important book of the Bible. Add to that Mr. Carpenter’s penetrating insights into Paul’s thinking, and his painting anew Paul’s grand vision of the Christian life—well, we have a book well worth reading and re-reading for years to come.”
Amazing Grace of Quantum Physics
Science & Faith
“I’ve never had a conversation with Dillard Faries in which I didn’t come away with a deeper insight into Scripture or physics or whatever we happened to be talking about. This book has the same effect, with a subject that boggles the mind with the mysterium tremendum of the known universe.”
Church History in Plain Language, Fifth Edition
History & Biography
“Church History in Plain Language is just plain good. No, make that great —accessible, reader friendly, and interesting. A superb overview of the church’s story. Especially with the addition of recent historical developments, it’s the first book I recommend to those newly curious about the history of our faith.”
Theology
“Is there anything more destabilizing, threatening, and dangerous than grace and all the doctrines that surround it? So beware, gentle reader: you are about to enter into a minefield; step too far left or right and you'll be blown up by one heresy or another. Walk the straight and narrow path of law and gospel and you will find great comfort in these essays, which honor a man who has helped so many of us remember the dangerous comfort of grace.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Brandon O’Brien has done us a great service. He has addressed the current, hot issue of religious liberty by reminding us of one of its greatest American champions, Isaac Backus. He brings to life the contentions of Backus’s day to illumine our own and helps us pursue a liberty that will be a blessing to unbelievers and religious alike. As is often the case, looking backward is the soundest way to go forward.”
History & Biography
“One could hardly ask for a more interesting and comprehensive set of essays on the role of the Bible in evangelical life. It is a historical anthology that 'gets into the weeds' without getting lost—meaning each essay prompts one to think about contemporary biblical issues that evangelicals wrestle with today.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Eric Miller is one of the most thoughtful and graceful writers today--a combination of intelligence, humility, and faithful insight. I try to read everything he writes. What a gift to have so many of his essays collected in one place!”
Christian Living
“Krish Kandiah reminds us of a simple truth with as many consequences as there are stars in the night sky: God keeps showing up where we least expect him. To know that is to live.”
Christian Living
“Packer and Parrett argue that recovering the practice of catechesis can go a long way toward curing anemic Christianity. The book’s biblical grounding and theological structure should go a long way toward encouraging evangelicals to resurrect this ancient church practice.”
Media, Journalism, and Communication
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Read Schuchardt is in the business of telling fish about the water they swim in. We ‘fish’ instinctively breathe, eat, and drink media in all forms, all the time. We hardly notice. Schuchardt helps us notice both the fascinating and alarming. Schuchardt says some crazy things about media that just happen to be true, while pointing to truths in the gospel that may strike us as crazy. It’s why he is such a good person to discuss the media water we swim in.”
History & Biography
Foreword
“In this little book, Chad has a singular purpose. He wants us to get one thing straight. . . . He wants there to be no mistaking that, even in the darkest of times, we are not our own but belong to another, to one who has our best interests at heart and will never let us go.”
Christian Living
“Michael Horton’s Ordinary is, well, extraordinary. It can be described in many ways, and one is this: a call to love God and neighbor in freedom and grace, in the neighborhood you already inhabit, with the gifts and talents (and weaknesses!) you already possess. Spiritual heroes need not apply.”
Christian Living
“Read this book, and you'll be concerned and comforted. You'll question and doubt—and believe more deeply than ever. You'll despair at times . . . and hope like never before. In short, you'll be doing the best Christian theology, which takes you to places dark and mysterious and to vistas bursting with light and beauty, often both at the same time. That's what it means to live by paradox, where the deepest truths lie.”
Reformation Riches for the Contemporary Church
Christian Living
“This is indeed a sampling of 'vintage liberating treasures that were recovered during the Reformation.' You're not Reformed? No matter. A great many of these treasures can be appreciated by all Christians--in no small part because of the engaging way Bruins has conveyed them.”
Christian Living
“There is no better observer of the human condition these days than David Zahl. Here he exposes the haunting inadequacy of our various and sundry religions -- psychological, social, political, and even ecclesial. He prepares the ground and plants the seed of divine grace that can -- if we would just rest in it -- become the healing balm for our tortured lives.”
Preaching & Worship
“The Ancient-Future Visionary does two salutary things. First, it situates Robert Webber in his time: an evangelical who flourished in the late twentieth century—emphasis on evangelical. He was committed to the movement while prophetically nudging it to deepen its theology and practice. Second, it reminds us that his life theme—that the church’s future must be grounded in a wise appropriation of the past—is as relevant today as ever.”
Christian Living
“It has often been said that we Americans avoid the subject of death. It has been said often because it's true. What's also true is this: if you want to think about death wisely, carefully, faithfully, this book by Rob Moll is the place to start. I am praying that more and more people will have the courage to do just that.”
Theology
“I can hardly think of a book more necessary for our time. Many well-meaning attempts to summarize the good news today barely allude to the cross, and we're left with an anemic if not a false gospel. Read, mark, and inwardly digest this book if you want to learn about the cross that truly rectifies the ungodly, even the likes of you and me.”
History & Biography
“If you want to rediscover the 'first Thanksgiving' and learn what difference studying history makes--well, you couldn't do better than reading this one volume. By looking at the Pilgrims afresh, they come alive to remind us 'how we mean to live and do not yet live.'”
