Christianity for Young Intellectuals

Apologetics

“In this readable and rewarding collection, Robert Klitgaard gathers diverse thinkers—historians, philosophers, artists, scientists—to answer the most demanding questions of human experience through serious engagement with the Christian religion. The essays collected here are not apologetics in any flat or formal sense. Rather, they are serious and critical reflections that recognize Christianity as a complex, living, inspiring, and sometimes troubling tradition, and which persuasively invite their reader to do the same.”

Gaslighted by God

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Tiffany Yecke Brooks has written a moving book full of honesty, courage, wisdom, and faith. In always-searching scriptural reflections and sometimes-searing personal ones, Tiffany reveals to her reader what the Gospel writers already know: that the cross of Jesus Christ offers neither a tidy answer nor a magical solution to the problem of human suffering, only a humble, just, and holy human response.”

Spiritual Care First Aid

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Cody Sanders is a gifted teacher, pastor, and caregiver, and in this highly useful and lovingly written book, he shares his gifts with us. Spiritual Care First Aid exemplifies all the patience, attention, and compassion it explains. It offers practical advice to its readers, along with profound and essential pastoral grounding and orientation. It will be an indispensable pastoral and practical resource for anyone--lay or ordained, novice or expert, in almost any caregiving context--who hopes to care for others in need.”

The Beauty of Souls

Arts & Literature

“Scott's The Beauty of Souls presents a carefully insightful and intricately comprehensive close reading of all Marilynne Robinson's novels. For this alone it deserves praise. But The Beauty of Souls is more than just a literary analysis: it is also a spiritually attentive and deeply compassionate theology of human personhood and divine beauty.”

We Mend with Gold

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kristin Lee blends honest memoir with theological insight to create a rich, wide-ranging, and stirring call to discipleship. She lifts up so many essential voices and, in doing so, shows us how to lift up our own. We Mend with Gold is essential reading not just for Asian American Christians but for any Christian who wants to revitalize and reclaim their faith.”
