75 Masterpieces Every Christian Should Know

Arts & Literature

“Why should the Creator have stopped speaking through art and music with Giotto or Bach? In this beautifully illustrated and conceived book, Terry Glaspey takes us on a comprehensive tour of art, music, and architecture from the ancient world up to the present.”

A Long Letting Go

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Marilyn McEntyre embodies simple, patient kindness in the pages of this book.”

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

Christian Living

“Into a world that does its best to deceive us into believing that everything changes, God speaks his unchanging Word. Ours is a time and a world that needs to hear in fresh ways all that that Word might mean if we would only listen. Eugene has listened. In this book he tells us all that he has heard about those fixed facets of that unchanging Word.”

A Wilderness of Mirrors

Christian Living

“In this profound book, Mark Meynell resists the temptation to tell us what to see in this illusory, fallen world. Instead he lays the groundwork that allows us, through faith, to perceive for ourselves. He isn’t concerned with telling us what to think, but rather with providing insight into how to unravel for ourselves life’s confusing inconsistencies.”

A Year of Slowing Down

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Don't be fooled by the title of this book into thinking it's about slowing down the pace of your life so you can 'smell the flowers' or somehow break away from the world. It's about adopting a pace of life that allows you to listen to the Scripture more fully, with your mind as well as your heart. That is what Alan has done in the writing of this book. He models it for us on every page. If this is the result of a deliberately unhurried pace, then I'm in!”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Atheism on Trial

Apologetics

“For too long Christian belief has been subjected to uncritical scrutiny. Finally Mark Lanier, a lawyer of the first order, places disbelief before the bar. This book is a fair and balanced legal proceeding against the point of view that denies the existence of God and the redemptive results of faith on our culture.”

Basic Christianity

Apologetics

“'Who is Jesus Christ?' and 'What does it mean to follow him?' These are the basic questions that need to be first sincerely asked and then meaningfully answered. They are the fundamental questions the Gospels ask and to which they give the perfect answer. From Augustine to Bonhoeffer, from The Confessions to The Cost of Discipleship, great theologians with pastors' hearts have asked and answered these two basic questions for their own age. In our time, it has been John Stott and his Basic Christianity.”

Christianity on Trial

Apologetics

“Mark Lanier has made a successful career at seeking out and defending truth in the arena of the American legal system. Now, serving as biblical legal defense, he methodically presents his case for the fundamental truths of our faith.”

Finding Freedom and Grace in a Broken World

Christian Living

“Finding Freedom and Grace in a Broken World is a comprehensive, exhaustive exploration, a deep dive into the world of knowing and trusting the God of Scripture. It examines divine grace from every imaginable perspective through 234 brief, easily digestible essays.”

Girl Soldier

Christian Living

“For most of us, the enormous monolith of the suffering of Africa is impossible to imagine, much less enter into. This book represents a significant door. It is a precious gift from two women, both uniquely qualified to speak for the suffering children of Uganda, one an eloquent survivor and the other a fearless advocate. It is no coincidence that their names are Grace and Faith.”

How Majestic Is Your Name

Preaching & Worship

“How Majestic Is Your Name is a rich, expansive, and profoundly biblical book on true worship as service, reverential fear, and bowing down to our God. It reminds us that worship is not a forty-five-minute event each week but a twenty-four-hour-a-day awareness of the presence of God in everything we do. The church has been waiting for this book for a very long time.”

Imagine

Arts & Literature

“Turner, in this well-rounded and thoroughly biblical book, issues a compelling invitation to everyone in the creative community to move redemptively as salt and light into the world of the arts precisely for Christ's sake.”

Jesus, Bread, and Chocolate

Christian Living

“John Thompson has listened to the parable of his life and retold it in terms of coffee, chocolate, bread, and beer. What could be more deliciously compelling? It is only in community, gathered around a table laid with God’s flavorful fare, that we learn to listen to and appreciate our lives. John has taught us just how this can be done.”

Knowing God

Christian Living

“I first read the book in 1977 in what was then the ninth American printing. I was discipled by that book before I knew what discipleship was! As I reread it recently, I was embarrassed by all the ideas I kept coming upon that I thought were mine. Then I realized that through his book Packer had made them mine. It dawned on me that bad books try to tell us what to think, while good books help us to think. But truly good books shape the way we think. That's what this book did for me. There isn't a song I've written that hasn't been impacted by the point of view in this book. Knowing God not only points to the door, it provides the key, helps us open it and prepares us for the One we shall discover waiting for us on the other side. In his book Packer rescues us from the 'private religious hunches' of our theologically fickle age, from the 'gigantic conspiracy of misdirection' that would rob us of the deep, simple joy of knowing God.”

Make a List

Christian Living

“Encourages, guides, and directs. . . . Marilyn McEntyre embodies simple, patient kindness in her writing.”

Praying

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“This book is a powerful reminder that through prayer God speaks into our hearts. And if God is speaking, nothing else matters but listening.”

Quiet Time Bible Guide

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Provides a long-overdue resource for those of us who have found it difficult to maintain a consistent quiet time. What a wonderful gift IVP has given the Body.”

Singing in The Dark

Preaching & Worship

“In Singing in the Dark one of my favorite songwriters listens to some of the most important songs of the Bible and engages, resonates, and responds—and in the process encourages us to do the same. I’ve been waiting a long time for Ginny Owens to write a book, and Singing in the Dark goes beyond what I was hoping for.”
