Mark Labberton
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“If God is all good and all powerful, why are God's people so unchanged? This honest book puts its finger on just this issue and offers thoughtful, compelling and realistic help for God's people to live into our shared identity and common life, and to show our new humanity in Christ.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Cancer lurks and devours lives every day. The diagnosis, treatment, and even post-treatment survival of cancer can be as life altering as the disease itself. Alec Hill knows this journey from the inside out. His candor, humility, faith, and love allow us all to peek in on this excruciating, mysterious, and all-too-common road. Whether cancer is our story or a loved one's, we are reminded again and again of the unexpected possibilities and realities of God's presence and grace, even on the cancer road.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Whether we know and believe it or not, we live in sacred time. The only time that is is created, given, sustained and re-created by God--time that God will one day fulfill. Living the Christian Year beckons us to lay hold of this reality, to richly dwell in the story that holds time together, and as we do so to practice the communion that holds God's people together in grace across time and around the globe. This is the biblical story out of which comes all true worship and justice.”
Christian Living
“Dr. Michaela O’Donnell’s Make Work Matter offers a life-giving, meaning-making invitation, recipe, and coaching session about work—all in one. She is a very motivating exemplar of what she writes about, and her voice resonates with lived wisdom, creativity, and courage. In a time of extraordinary changes in work, turn here for true help.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Jesus' infectious peacemaking has taken hold of Jer Swigart and Jon Huckins. This book explains how and why—but even more, how and why they passionately want it to happen in the lives of any who are followers of Jesus. In a world of broken trust, hostile prejudice, religious violence, and pervasive fear, our world desperately needs God's people to be humble, courageous, and just peacemakers. The need for this fruit of the Spirit could hardly be more urgent.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In Missional Economics Michael Barram offers us a stunning gift. He lays out a remarkably clear, reasoned, biblical, and compelling vision of God’s transformative truth and grace for the world. I hope this book freshly opens many hearts and minds as it has my own.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“John Perkins has been giving me a transfusion of reconciling love for forty years. We may be one, but John has always had the better blood, more of Christ's healing and renewing love. So over and over, both for me and for so many, John has infused us with fresh vision and bold passion for God's reconciling love and justice. This wise book testifies that that same blood is still vital and pumping hard!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Phil Allen's story is as unique as any personal, multi-generational African-American tragedy can be. And that means the narrative is also a painfully common one. Open Wounds names the reality: for himself, for his family, for this nation. What makes Allen's story so powerful is his pursuit of the facts, the implications, and the risks of healing. But in the end, it is less a hero's journey, and more a communal story of lived faith, honest communion, and dogged hope.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“What I love most about this book is its weaving of Scripture, devotion to Jesus Christ, leadership history and theory, and grounded experience. Its authors provide a marvelous resource that can be read both as a primer and as an advanced study in leadership that is biblically responsible, developmentally accessible, academically engaging and practically valuable.”
Preaching & Worship
“The book foregrounds the responsibilities of Christian preaching traditions in co-creating a more just world. Thompson's approach hinges on a nonnegotiable ethic of radical-love-practice that challenges preachers and all of us to say and do what matters most for our personal and collective well-being.”
Preaching & Worship
“You will find in this collection of essays a treasure trove of convictions and insights about preaching the New Testament that can nourish, challenge and enrich any pastor's sermons. I read it eagerly and thankfully, in agreement and disagreement, but with gratitude throughout.”
Problems of Christian Leadership
Church Leadership & Ministry
“John Stott was a leader who never stopped learning. His posture of humility before God, before the Scriptures, before friends and even before enemies was one of his most remarkable traits. This set of lectures captures some of this spirit in a plain and compassionate way. For a leader who seeks humble courage, it can be tasted in this word of witness from one who lived it to the glory of the Lord he followed.”
Reading Ephesians with John Stott
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“No one I have known has loved, preached, taught and lived the Bible any more than John Stott. He often quoted Spurgeon's comment that we should seek for our very blood to become 'Bibline'; so seriously should we soak in Scripture in order to know and live it. This new series will give us daily help in just such living.”
Reading the Bible with the Dead
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Thompson's book provides an exceptionally incisive and courageous example of reading uncomfortable biblical texts through a history of the reading of those texts. The fruit it bears is faithful wisdom, the kind of reading we need most.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“'Rediscipling' is the operative assertion and action at the heart of David Swanson's powerful book about the white church. This means for him that exposing and dismantling racism in the church is not primarily a political task but a spiritual andtheological one. It has to do with a deep reformation of Christian practice that reflects the just heart of God rather than hiding racial injustice within sometimes false language and practices of Christian faith. Swanson's book and his example, interacting with key insights from James K. A. Smith, present a raw, compelling, and urgent call.”
World Religions
“Kwon and Thompson do a compelling job of laying out the historic legitimacy, the moral necessity, and the biblical urgency for reparations from slavery. With a kind of whiplash effect, they frequently let centuries-old voices speak into this very moment with shocking immediacy. May Christ’s loving reign over new hearts, minds, and systems reorder the powers of this world that all may freely and justly live.”
Preaching & Worship
Foreword
“Lamb makes here such a compelling case that within the preacher and the sermon lies one of the most important, if underappreciated, ingredients for deepest resonance: verbs. No doubt all the other elements contribute to strong preaching, but verbs resonate with our being and our doing in the presence of the Living God. Faith is a verb. Love is a verb. Obedience is a verb. Confession and lament are verbs. Thanks, praise, serve, and sacrifice—all verbs.”
