Marriage, Family & Relationships
“An Impossible Marriage is a book not just for marriages that seem impossible but for any marriage, especially between Christians. Through their own story, Matt and Laurie graciously put before the reader the purpose of marriage—the great mystery and seeming impossibility of Christ being made one with his church.”

“Michael and Lauren McAfee offer real and insightful encouragement to those who find themselves in seasons of anxiety, loss, and disappointment. They draw from personal pain and deep reliance on the Lord through each trial. We recommend this book to anyone whose life hasn’t turned out like they thought it would.”
Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic
Christian Living
“For over twenty years as pastor of The Village Church, I have had a front-row seat to the messy, slow process of sanctification in the lives of the saints. I have witnessed the miraculous breakthrough where addiction or anger seems to supernaturally lift and never return, but I intentionally used the words miraculous and supernatural because I have watched hundreds of people surrender to Jesus, love him, and have a hard time breaking free of certain indwelling sins. I’m grateful for books like Jon’s. It reads like real life to me: grimy, hard . . . honest. The Lord is faithful to deliver us. Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic is a testimony to that faithfulness.”

“Ray Ortlund has written on a truth that is desperately needed and yet somehow forgotten: that feasting is holy, laughing until your cheeks hurt delights the heart of God, and playing until your body is tired and soul is full is part of God’s good design for us. In Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, Ray masterfully shows us from Ecclesiastes that one of God’s great desires for us is in these short lives we’ve been given is the enjoyment of his grace found in the everyday and the ordinary.”
History & Biography
“Even in Our Darkness is filled with the raw pain, beauty, mystery, and grace that our hearts were meant for. There are no religious platitudes or ethereal ideas in these pages, just God’s grace and affection washing over a family time and time again through the highs and lowest of lows. I found the vulnerability and transparency of this book to be shocking, and a desire arose in me to live all the more in the light as God is in the light. This book will encourage you, and I pray it will warm your heart toward the affections that Christ has for you.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Facing Leviathan is a beautifully written book that weaves history and the Word of God together in a spectacular and challenging tapestry. I was moved, encouraged and provoked.”

“Trillia serves us well in this book by addressing fear and anxiety head-on and digs past the fear itself and into the very roots where fear is born. She does this with the gentleness of a mother and a mind steeped in the Bible. Whether you personally struggle with fear or walk with people who do, you will find helpful, well-thought-out help in the pages of this book.”

“The very nature of the gospel is understanding God's impartial love toward those of us saved by His grace through faith. It's a simple truth that's hard for the heart to embrace. We tend to default to trying to earn what is freely given. My friend Oghosa does a beautiful job of showing this truth woven through the story of Scripture. I found my heart stirred and soul replenished in these pages.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Josh McDowell is one of the best apologists I know. This book is something a bit different though. Vulnerable and honest, Free to Thrive helps us understand the hunger and thirst for greater freedom, joy, and wholeness that aches in the deeper parts of our soul and then helps us move toward it.”

Marriage, Family & Relationships
“The absolute last thing that most parents need is more pressure. That’s why I’m so glad that Adam Griffin wrote something different—a book full of grace and relief for parents. I trust his voice to encourage families by helping them see how much their faith can bless them and their God can unburden them.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“The family is God’s primary discipleship plan. It is in our households that we are taught what is most important and least important and we begin to understand how we fit in this big and scary world. In Habits of the Household, Justin Whitmel Earley gives us a template for household habits that root our families in the deepest realities of the gospel of Jesus Christ and form all of us more into his image. There is no formation without repetition, so I pray this book encourages your heart and emboldens emboldens your desire to allow the Spirit to flow into and through these ten everyday occurrences with greater purpose and intentionality.”

“Steve Timmis has been used by God powerfully over the last decade to encourage us to think about the church in a way that is biblically faithful and tremendously helpful. In I Wish Jesus Hadn’t Said That . . . Timmis once again serves us well by presenting to us the parts of Jesus’ teachings that often get left out, but are imperative to our joy and gladness.”

“There cannot be enough books written about the majesties and excellencies of Christ. I am grateful that Frank and Leonard Sweet put Jesus Manifesto in the lap of so many.”

“Do we need another book on classical disciplines of the Christian life? I have read many, but Recapturing the Wonder reads differently. It is a deeply spiritual, easily accessible, and creatively written book that encouraged my heart and exposed some disenchantment in the crevices of my own soul. I'll be handing this book out quite a bit. If you feel a little dry and disillusioned or need a refresher on God's invitation to know him more deeply through the practice of the disciplines, this book will serve you well.”

“PRAISE FOR THE DUDE’S GUIDE TO MARRIAGE “My friend Darrin Patrick has written an excellent book to help men develop the skills needed to love and serve their wives well. It is full of wisdom, honesty, and is extremely practical. The Dude's Guide to Marriage provides for us a beautiful real-life picture of what a marriage centered on the gospel looks like amid the daily grind of life.”
