Bringing Up Kids When Church Lets You Down

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“They should hand this book out in maternity wards. They should also invent a time machine so older parents like me could read it when we were first starting out. Bekah McNeel has written an accessible, illuminating, and essential guide to navigating thorny questions while raising your kids to do the same.”

Emotionally Sober and Unimaginably Good

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“I'm in my fifties, and it's only in recent years that I began to deal with the child inside me--and the long shadow of the alcoholic who raised me. 'It's never too late' is one of the many key truths Megan DeMatteo is inviting us to embrace in this helpful guide to restoring your inner and outer life and getting out of that shadow for good.”

Sects, Love, and Rock & Roll

Arts & Literature

“If you can name the exact musical connection between Michael W. Smith and Sufjan Stevens, then you don't need to read this book. But you can't do that, can you? None of us can. But Joel Hartse can, and he does that kind of s#*! on Every. Single. Page. I'm pretty sure he knows everything. Plus, he's witty and wise. I can't imagine a better book on the weird world of Christian rock.”

The Girl in the Orange Dress

History & Biography

“Will this book be made into a movie? A TV series? A graphic novel? Well, it oughta. Margot Starbuck's story has legs, and it'll captivate anyone who has a chance to hear it, in whatever way they can. Her easygoing style spins this unique yarn into an every(wo)man tale that can speak to us all.”

We Get to Carry Each Other

Arts & Literature

“Greg Garrett’s book doesn’t just speak to the U2 faithful, and his smart, sincere, and serious search through the layers of U2 meaning has made me a different kind of fan.”

What Your Body Knows About God

Science & Faith

“It's always exciting a read to a book whose core insight makes such intuitive sense but whose implications have gone underexplored. Rob Moll's work is engrossing and informative, and you can act on it right away. And at the book's heart is a really encouraging message grounded in solid research: when you look at your body closely, you'll find out that you're designed to be who you really want to be.”
