Architectures of Grace in Pastoral Care

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“While Rev. Olds’s outstanding book updates virtue ethics for pastors and those who come to them for spiritual care, it also addresses the heart as it proposes new practices for the ministries of grace—how to soothe contention and strife, staples of today’s confusing times. This important work is broad and deep, and its applications compelling and spiritually obliging. Rev. Olds’s book provides guideposts for my own Christian fellowship as well as for those theologically inclined from the church pulpit.”

Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things

Evangelism & Missions

“For those who have wondered whether there was still a place for missions history in the emerging discipline of world Christianity, with its strong emphasis on the indigenous reception of the gospel over missionary transmission, Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things gives a strong affirmative answer.”

Megachurch Christianity Reconsidered

Church Leadership & Ministry

Foreword

“Dr. Gitau approaches the megachurch story from a neglected angle: the perspective of history and the dynamics of people movements. She takes a few pages from the study of revival and revitalization movements around the world and judiciously uses these insights to probe the meaning of her story.”

The Epistles of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I am always excited when a new commentary from Dr. Samuel Ngewa appears. One has come to expect the careful exegesis, the prudent handling of controversial points and the quiet authority with which he writes. But what makes a Samuel Ngewa commentary especially unique is the African cultural touches that season so many of his discussions, the love for the church that emanates from every page, and the passion for the gospel that acts as a faithful sentry guarding against interpretations that may be novel but ultimately neutralize Christ and his saving work.”

The Quest for Early Church Historiography

History & Biography

“Jeremiah Mutie’s valuable study offers an important context for understanding the popularity of biblical critics such as Bart Ehrman. Mutie skillfully shows that ideas have roots, and the roots of modern biblical skepticism go back for centuries. I commend the author for this clear and insightful contribution to Christian historiography.”
