Michael Wear

A Christian and a Democrat

History & Biography

“This timely, inspiring portrait of the role of Christianity in the life and presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt helps us better understand one of the influential leaders of the twentieth century. Woolverton has made a great contribution here that should lead us to reevaluate our view of the role of faith in the progressive movement, the Democratic Party, and American politics generally, while also stoking our imagination for how Christian principles might guide us today.”

Aggressively Happy

Christian Living

““Joy Clarkson is the pen pal you need in your life. This intimate, welcoming book is full of unpretentious wisdom about our life in and with God. I read it and thought, For once! An enjoyable book that is edifying, and an edifying book that is actually enjoyable! Read this book with friends. Read this book with an embarrassingly large cup of hot chocolate or tea. Read this book under a blanket by a window while it rains outside. The main thing is to read Aggressively Happy!”

Becoming ProGrace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“With this book, Angela Weszely has brought grace to a topic in desperate need of it. I hope many Christians read and learn from Becoming ProGrace.”

Believe Me

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In Believe Me John Fea takes evangelicalism seriously, treating it with the honest respect it deserves. He also manages to help us understand American politics in a much clearer way. I highly recommend this book to all who remain confounded by the state of faith and politics today.”

Bright Hope for Tomorrow

Christian Living

“The kingdom of the heavens is not a puzzle to solve but a real and present help to those who put their faith and trust in Jesus. Chris Davis makes this clear in Bright Hope for Tomorrow, a pastoral work which intends to bring heaven to readers’ hearts. And it succeeds!”

Called to Care

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is a clarion call for Christians to recommit to the biblical mandate to care for children and families, and it is a call made from two leaders who have a lifetime of experience doing just that. I encourage you to read this important book.”

Christ and Covenant in Global Politics

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Robert J. Joustra has written a refreshing and necessary book for more fully exploring the contours of international relations theory and considering distinctly Christian contributions to the field. We hope this book becomes an essential resource for scholars and practitioners and that it will help shape the imagination of Christians generally as they think about foreign policy and global affairs.”

Citizenship Without Illusions

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“One wonderful, essential thing about David Koyzis is that he takes politics seriously without making an idol of it. This book reflects the generosity of spirit and intellectual care that have characterized David's career. Once again, David has offered us a tremendous gift with this book. Read it closely. Consider it deeply. Dispel political illusions. Love God and love your neighbor.”

Faithful Antiracism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Faithful Antiracism will help you discern how you can advance racial justice in word and deed, with care for the orientation of your heart as well as for your actions and activism. Edmondson and Brennan will help you oppose racism without making it all about you. I can see many churches and communities benefiting from this thoughtful work, and I'm grateful for the hearts and minds the authors bring to the vital endeavor of promoting racial justice.”

Following Jesus in a Warming World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kyle Meyaard-Schaap has helped so many understand that caring for creation is a response to the call of the Creator. In this book, Kyle helps us see anew both the crucial responsibility Christians have in caring for the environment and how issues of environmental promise and degradation can bring us closer to Jesus.”

God Is Stranger

Christian Living

“God Is Stranger will help readers better know a gospel that is truly good news. Krish Kandiah is someone with theological depth and experience living out his faith in the real world. Krish has been an encouragement to me as a friend and exemplar, and I believe he will inspire a generation of Christians to serve a God who loves each person—including the stranger.”

Hopeful Realism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This sober, energizing work is a testament to the value of putting politics in its proper place for its own sake, and for the health of the church. Jesse, Micah, and Bryan have long been stalwarts for robust Christian political engagement and beacons of Christian faithfulness in academia and in our public life. Their intellect and the witness of their lives have been a blessing to a generation of students. Now, we all get to sit in their classroom, learn from these thoughtful men, and then go out into communities and our politics to pursue faithfulness there ourselves.”

How to Survive the Apocalypse

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Who said the apocalypse couldn't be fun? I binge-read this book. Wilkinson and Joustra take up some of the most important questions of our day in a fresh way. They give us a guide to the cultural and political terrain we must navigate together, providing encouragement to faithful Christians to enter the public square with confidence and purpose.”

Life Without Lack

Christian Living

“Dallas Willard helps us to understand that the Twenty-Third Psalm is not meant as a nice sentiment or for kitschy decor, it is for the very thick of our lives, the very moment of crisis. Imagine what our personal lives, families, communities, and politics would look like if we rejected the frantic striving of our day, and instead embraced the life without lack offered to us in Jesus Christ. No one has helped me to imagine and enter into that life more than Dallas Willard. I recommend this book with great joy and hopeful expectation.”

Reimagining Biblical Politics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With Reimagining Biblical Politics, Michael Rhodes offers a Scripture-rich guide to thinking about political life. This book provides wonderful prompts for healthy political discernment among Christians, and I trust God will use it to inspire healthy political engagement that blesses others.”

Start with Welcome

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Bri Stensrud is an inspiring leader who responded to what she was seeing in the world around her, reading in her Bible, and discerning from the Holy Spirit. I hope her response will inspire readers to consider how God might be calling them to respond.”

The Ballot and the Bible

History & Biography

“The Ballot and the Bible offers keen, level-headed, and perceptive insights into the use of Scripture in our political life that will empower readers without leaving them either complacently cynical or myopically gullible. Spend time with Kaitlyn Schiess by reading this book, and you’ll gain confidence in your own ability to navigate political issues. Kaitlyn’s combination of pastoral care with real pastoral wisdom is rarer than it ought to be, and it’s part of what makes me confident in Kaitlyn’s leadership, and our need for it, for years to come. The Ballot and the Bible is a wonderful contribution, and I highly recommend it.”

The Path Between Us

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In our individualistic age, we often wrongly assume we can understand ourselves best through deeper self-exploration alone. Sometimes, unfortunately, the Enneagram is used in this way. My friend Suzanne Stabile understands that we are people madefor relationships, and that we cannot understand who we are as individuals without better understanding others and how we relate to them. The Path Between Us offers a pathway to greater empathy, compassion, and wisdom in your relationships, and that is a gift for those who love you and for you too! I’m so grateful to have Suzanne as a friend and guide on so many of life’s most important questions. With this book, Suzanne will guide you as well.”
