Redemptive Reversals and the Ironic Overturning of Human Wisdom

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book opened my eyes to look for the consistent way that God works ironically throughout the Bible—the way he punishes sinners by means of their own sin, makes life possible through his own death, shows his strength through our weakness, and exalts those who are humbled.”

Resurrection Hope and the Death of Death

Christian Living

“In one of the best contributions to the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series to date, Mitchell Chase clearly and succinctly presents what is at the heart of hope set before us in the gospel—unending, embodied, glorious resurrection life on a renewed earth—which is so much more than the hope of going to heaven when we die, anticipating a disembodied existence somewhere away from this earth. Significantly, this book shows how New Testament teaching about bodily resurrection is rooted in Old Testament stories and prophecies, helping readers to connect the dots from Genesis to Revelation.”

Sanctification as Set Apart and Growing in Christ

Christian Living

“The reality that God not only desires but is also at work to accomplish the sanctification of his people cannot be missed in the Bible. But why? And how? And when? In this short but significant book, Marny Köstenberger capably leads readers through Old Testament history, the first coming of the Holy One and his teaching on what holiness of heart looks like, and to the epistles of Paul and Peter and James, which press in the urgency as well as the Spirit’s sufficiency to make God’s people holy.”

The Advent of the Lamb of God

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“This story, and the compelling beauty with which Russ tells it, is what helps us make sense of the big story, which we need to hear all year long, our whole lives long.”

The Appearing of God Our Savior

Theology

“With sound scholarship and insightful clarity, Claire Smith zooms out from the text of these three epistles, helping readers to see the overriding themes and ideas Paul communicates, and enabling readers to trace his arguments, understand his terms, and grasp his message.”

The Heart of Anger

Christian Living

“I found myself jotting down quote after quote as I read through this book filled with so much insight into the Scriptures, as well as insight into human behavior. Then I came to the question, ‘What can Christ do for our anger that anger management courses cannot?’ and in the pages that followed, I realized I had just struck gold—gospel hope for those who recognize the damage anger is doing in their lives and relationships and their need of a source outside themselves to deal with it.”

The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“To say that the story of the Bible is the story of the King and his kingdom is one thing; to see it clearly and concisely demonstrated from every part of the Bible is another. I look forward to recommending this book to those who love and appreciate biblical theology as well as those who love Christ and the Bible but haven’t yet understood how to see King Jesus throughout its entire story.”

The Lord Bless You and Keep You

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book infuses our shallow understanding of what it means to be blessed with scriptural insight and textual richness. It invites us to think more deeply about what is promised in the familiar words of the Aaronic blessing so that we hear them with fresh meaning and find ourselves receiving them with profound joy.”

The Most Misused Verses in the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is the book you’ve always wanted to help you figure out how to explain why that verse doesn’t mean what so many people use it to mean. In brief chapters and understandable language, this book provides clear explanations of those verses we’ve heard misused again and again. What a great resource for individuals or for groups who want to have a lively discussion that challenges long-held misunderstandings of Scripture.”

The Promise

Children & Youth

“What a great way to help kids (and their parents!) grasp where the story of the Bible is headed from the very beginning. This engaging book artfully presents the superiority and perfections of Jesus even as it puts the ‘heroes’ of the Old Testament story in their appropriate place.”

The Visual Word

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“When we're serious enough about the Bible to want to grasp the argument or storyline of a book, many of us need help to organize our thoughts. The Visual Word provides us with fabulous one-page diagrams that imprint the original author's organization and emphasis in our minds, leading us to greater understanding and more faithful interpretation and application.”

Tim Keller on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Tim Keller had a knack for presenting Christ and what it means to follow him in ways that I, as someone who had spent my whole life absorbing Christian teaching, had never heard before. It often stopped me in my tracks. It challenged my deeply ingrained understandings and interpretations. But most importantly, it enabled me to see the beauty, necessity, and sufficiency of Christ in ways that moved and changed me. This book enables those familiar with Keller’s teaching to be reminded of its core truths—and those who know little of it to get to its essence in summary fashion.”

Tracing God's Story

Christian Living

“How I wish I had grasped biblical theology long before I began to learn about it in my forties! What Jon Nielson has written in Tracing God’s Story is a concise account of the story the divine author has written in Scripture. While this book is economical with words, it is generous with insight. It presents the story simply but not simplistically. I look forward to recommending it to those who long to have a more solid grip on the Bible’s storyline.”

Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full

Christian Living

“Oh, how I wish I had had a voice like Gloria Furman’s to whisper such sweet gospel truths into the frustrations and discontent of my younger mothering days! There’s nothing simplistic or syrupy here. This book presents rich and deep wisdom that is sure to generate joy and peace in the homes and hearts of many moms.”

Turning the World Upside Down

Christian Living

“Though undergirded by Iain Duguid’s profound scriptural knowledge, Turning the World Upside Down is not a dense theological treatise on the important New Testament book of Acts. Rather, it walks through the story told in the first eight chapters, presenting its profound truths in a conversational way, making penetrating and personal applications at every step.”

Why We Worship

Preaching & Worship

“This is a book that every person planning corporate worship and, in fact, every person participating in corporate worship should read—not simply to evaluate, understand, and perhaps refine the various elements of the service of worship but to expand your sense of wonder over what it means that we enter into the worship of heaven when we gather with our brothers and sisters week by week.”

Women of the Word

Christian Living

“How can we go deeper than a little dabbling in the Bible for inspiration? Jen Wilkin shows us how in this must-read for every woman interested in teaching and leading Bible discussion groups in your church.”
