The Whole Christ

Theology

“This book could not come at a better time or from a better source. Sinclair Ferguson brings to life a very important controversy from the past to shed light on contemporary debates. But The Whole Christ is more than a deeply informed survey of the Marrow Controversy. It is the highest-quality pastoral wisdom and doctrinal reflection on the most central issue in any age.”

The Word of the Lord

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“It’s not hyperbole to say, ‘It’s about time.’ While there are good books out there telling pastors how to preach Christ from all the Scriptures, there have been very few Bible studies for laypeople—especially for women—along these lines. Nancy Guthrie does an amazing job of helping us to fit the pieces of the biblical puzzle together, with Christ at the center.”

Thomas F. Torrance’s Theology of the Ascension

Theology

“An undervalued event in salvation history, the ascension was given considerable space in early Reformed theologies. Torrance recovered this interest, and my friend Stavan Narendra John has turned over this soil with considerable skill. I highly recommend this not only as the gold standard for interpreting Torrance but as a wonderful exploration of this essential truth.”

To the Ends of the Earth

Theology

“Among the many myths surrounding Calvinism is the idea that it’s anti-missions. Michael Haykin and Jeffrey Robinson draw into one place the many sources that demonstrate the tradition’s missionary passion. They do so without defensive rhetoric—more out of a love for the Great Commission than for any party label. You don’t have to be a Calvinist to find this story inspiring.”

Tracing God's Story

Christian Living

“As in a novel, you can’t just dip into a page of the Bible and get the gist. Through all the diverse writings, what’s the through line? This is an outstanding and accessible introduction to the plot that keeps biblical history moving from Genesis to Revelation. I highly recommend this book.”

Tracing God's Story Workbook

Christian Living

“As in a novel, you can’t just dip into a page of the Bible and get the gist. Through all the diverse writings, what’s the through line? This is an outstanding and accessible introduction to the plot that keeps biblical history moving from Genesis to Revelation. I highly recommend this book.”

Trinitarian Spirituality

Theology

“As valuable as this work is for specialists, it is an even greater treasure for the faith and practice on the church. At the time when spirituality seems theologically dry, John Owen--through his remarkably insightful interpreter, Brian Kay--reminds us just how significant the doctrine of the Trinity is for our daily lives as Christians. I anticipate a wide readership for this impressive work.”

Turning the World Upside Down

Christian Living

“At a time when it seems like Christianity is fading in the West, Iain Duguid turns our focus to the explosive spread of the gospel in Acts. Ours is the God of the resurrection and Pentecost; bringing life out of death is his specialty. If you need a powerful dose of encouragement from the apostolic mission for your ministry and life in the church today, read this book!”

Uncomfortable

Christian Living

“What if not only our answers but our questions are wrong? We think we know what we want, but as Brett McCracken explains with persuasive wit and wisdom, Jesus knows better. Uncomfortable is just the message we need to hear, especially right now.”

Union with Christ

Theology

“What does the doctrine of adoption have to say to a ‘moralistic, therapeutic, deistic’ teenager? How does the Reformed understanding of sin actually underscore human freedom? Are we getting too loose in our talk about ‘incarnational ministry’? Can we talk about a relationship with Christ without descending into sentimentalism? How does Christ’s work for us connect with his work in us by his Word and Spirit? Only after reading this book will you see just how related are all of these themes. And the integrating framework is union with Christ. In this fresh, winsome, learned yet down-to-earth exploration, Billings displays the research of a scholar and the heart of a pastor. This is one of the best books available on the heart of the gospel and its relevance for our lives.”

Wesley on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“As usual, Fred Sanders brings out treasures of his research without making us do all the digging ourselves. Though respectful of John Wesley, I’ve never been what you’d call a fan. But that’s exactly why a book like this is so worthwhile. Challenging caricatures, Sanders offers a welcoming portrait of Wesley that is too even-handed and well substantiated to be his own fabrication. If the purpose of this series is to display the resources of the past for the present, then Wesley on the Christian Life is a home run.”

What Is the Mission of the Church?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Christ is the greatest message in the world, and delivering it is the greatest mission. But are we losing our focus? Are we being distracted, sometimes even by good things? Zealous Christians disagree sharply today over the church’s proper ministry and mission. Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert bring us back to first things in an age of mission creep and distraction. Offering balanced wisdom, this book will give us not only encouragement but discomfort exactly where we all need it. It’s the kind of biblical sanity we need at this moment.”

When Dragons War

Christian Living

“Enemies without are more easily detected than the dragons within. Like Narnia’s Queen Lucy, Susan Erikson helps us slay them. Or better, she leads us to the one who has conquered the ancient serpent. Employing her exceptional poetry and evocative prose, this book is exactly what the doctor ordered for daily dragon-slaying. I definitely plan on reading this with the family.”

Who’s Afraid of Modern Art?

Arts & Literature

“In addition to being a fan of Dan's writing, I have heard him lecture on modern art in my seminary class. Christian engagement with art is especially intriguing when done by an actual artist who has spent his adult life in the contemporary art world. Even where other epochs are celebrated, modern art is often dismissed by Christians as unintelligible and even offensive. I've grown in my appreciation for the insights of modern art through Dan's expertise, and I am sure you will as well.”

Why the Reformation Still Matters

History & Biography

“Rarely does one find such a rich combination of historical theology and passionate exegetical argument. This is a warm, pastoral, and rigorous defense of the central claims of the Reformation. It also includes a defense of this common heritage from the perspective of Anabaptist/Baptist distinctives that recognizes important differences with the magisterial Reformers. For both reasons, Why the Reformation Still Matters represents an important contribution to ongoing conversations in the global church.”

Why We Worship

Preaching & Worship

“This is the go-to book on God's service to his assembled saints. What do we do in church? And why? Adriel Sanchez explores these questions with a rigorously biblical approach, uncommon clarity, and wise application. I can't think of a better book out there on this important topic.”

Worthy

Christian Living

“Like conjoined twins, legalism and antinomianism share the same heart. Curved in on itself, it recoils at being justified by an alien righteousness and being sanctified by conformity to someone else’s identity. Sinclair Ferguson’s long ministry of proclaiming God’s word has always struck at both forms of heart disease. Laced with pastoral warmth, striking illustrations, and dry Scottish humor, Worthy sets the table richly for a feast that will nourish the hearts of believers and invite strangers to pull up a chair.”
