Authentic Masculinity

Men

“Most people today have no idea what it means to be a man. There are so many counterfeits, and not a lot of the genuine article. Seth Troutt's Authentic Masculinity is a terrific antidote to this pervasive problem. Troutt is a wise, gracious, calm, and balanced voice on manhood. He speaks realistically about the struggles of men, gets vulnerable about his own journey, and consistently points us to biblical truth. This is not mountaintop masculinity, intimidating and brash; this is relatable, brotherly masculinity. It's strong but tender; bold but kind. I pray this book goes far and wide.”

Finally Free

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Finally Free offers gospel wisdom that will rush over the sin of lust like a mighty wave. Easy to read, presented in a winsome pastoral spirit, it balances grace and effort with expert precision. The theological message presented in these pages will not only overcome even the strongest pornography addiction; it will also seep into our entire spiritual life, renewing and invigorating us, turning victims into conquerors and captives into liberators.”

God's Grand Design

Christian Living

“It is good for the church—and the heart—to see Sean Lucas, a modern pastor-theologian, working with such depth and clarity in the corpus of Jonathan Edwards, America's preeminent pastor-theologian. Lucas shows a mastery of the vast secondary and primary sources on and by Edwards, yet writes to be understood and to bless the church. If there is a better way to honor the New Light minister, I am not aware of it.”

How to Eat Your Bible

Christian Living

“The spirit of J. C. Ryle pulses through this short yet arresting book. In an age that urges us to be justified by doubt, not by faith, Pickowicz does something unusual: he counsels us to eat the words of God like food. In doing so, he models a deep love for and trust in Scripture. The result is a readable book that is as catalytic as it is instructive. What a gift! We learn here that the Bible is not for super-scholars, or far-out mystical gurus, or shiny-toothed salesmen. The Bible is for me, and in it I will meet God, and by it, I will see Him face-to-face.”

Made to Be She

Christian Living

“Though everyone is born of a woman, few today seem to know what a woman is. Because they stand squarely on Scripture, Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal have a ready answer. They unfold the beauty of biblical womanhood in this stirring book even as they offer a lovely mixture of honest reflection and cultural analysis as they go. Made to Be She is particularly good on the gospel that powers biblical womanhood. Womanhood is not ultimately about a list of suggested behaviors; being a godly woman is about living out of the overflow of God’s grace. It all starts there, and it all cycles back there: the atoning love of God shown in the cross of Jesus Christ. Made to Be She unfolds this vision and is a great resource for the rising generation today.”

Dr.

RetroChristianity

Theology

“We live in an age when looking like Buddy Holly, practicing the ‘domestic arts,’ and being a throwback artisan is en vogue. To be current in the present is to be conversant with the past. This trend has influenced evangelical churches in numerous ways. Michael Svigel’s fun and rich book helps us rediscover our vibrant Christian heritage even as he steers us clear of many common evangelical pitfalls. Full of expertly explained church history, cultural connections, and more clever phrasing than there were hairs in Athanasius’s beard, RetroChristianity is an excellent guide for those who justly wish to allow the story and theology of God’s historic church to breathe fresh life into modern faith.”

Seven Women

History & Biography

“Religion poisons everything—except, it seems, for the untold people touched by the lives of these seven incredible women. Your jaw will drop as you read these portraits of courage, each inspired by a personal vision of God and a convictional embrace of self-sacrifice. Metaxas’s beautifully written book answers the question: How can you change the world? The answer: find seven women, turn them loose, and watch Satan tremble in their presence.”

Sex in a Broken World

Christian Living

“Many books today confront the sexual brokenness of the modern world. Precious few equip you to spot counterfeit hopes while leaving you with an exhilarating sense of true hope. I know of no better antidote to our sexualized age than Sex in a Broken World. Read it, examine your own heart and habits, and soak in the renewing, restoring, overcoming grace of Jesus Christ.”

The Accidental Feminist

Christian Living

“Courtney Reissig has written what is sure to become the standard guide to Christian womanhood in a feminist age. Her book is practical, winsome, and full of rich theology. It is particularly strong—and unusual—because the content rests alongside a powerful narrative of personal transformation. Like the Savior it extols, this is a book that is going to strengthen, unsettle, and ultimately bless many readers—and there is nothing accidental about that.”

Uncomfortable

Christian Living

“In an anti-institutional age, many wandering souls are hungry for something bigger than themselves. Brett McCracken’s vision of the church points us to this reality, which is rarely what we expect and always what we need. Readers of diverse backgrounds—and differing viewpoints—will profit from considering these reflections. McCracken is a prophetic voice within the rising generation of evangelicalism, and I am thankful for his contribution.”
