“Embodying the posture of a teacher as storyteller, Ostrander weaves together his fascinating personal academic journey with historical and contemporary insights regarding trends in American higher education. The book will be a refreshing and engaging read for anyone who loves narratives about intellectual pilgrimage. Ostrander’s vast array of roles and experiences in higher education also affords him a unique ability to speak insightfully about the strengths and struggles of both Christian higher education and Christians in higher education.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In an era of extreme polarization, Koyzis offers practical guidance about how to navigate being an excellent earthly citizen in light of one's identity as a citizen of God's kingdom. Shaped by biblical insight and real-life conversations and examples, Koyzis's guidance is neither trite nor idealistic. Readers are encouraged to honor their own and others' convictions by and while resisting idolatrous ideologies that demand one's full allegiance. Christian educators in particular will find it a valuable tool for cultivating good citizens—both earthly and kingdom.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“The authors of Digital Life Together demonstrate the beauty of excellent Christian research. They not only help us think about how to use our digital tools, they demonstrate how to use our social-scientific tools for learning. They employ quantitative studies, focus groups, case studies, classroom observations, and in-depth interviews to illuminate the complex realities and challenges of educational life with technology. As a result, they do not simply supply us with surface-level tips and techniques, they impart deep Christian wisdom about technology use in the Christian classroom gleaned from the field. Every Christian educator needs to read this book.”

“Elmer Thiessen boldly yet graciously sets forth a vision for redeeming unhealthy minds corrupted by sin. To this end, he provides a biblical framework for understanding the intellectual virtues and corresponding vices that promote or impede the communal pursuit of truth in our post-truth era. Full of tested wisdom and concrete examples, Thiessen's giftedness as a thinker, writer, and educator rewards the reader with powerful insights and practical guidance.”
Practicing Christians, Practical Atheists
Christian Living
“Skillfully blending sociology, philosophy, and theology, Phil Davignon brings readers timely new insights into the relationship between Christianity and culture. He reveals the power of the ordinary, secularly defined rhythms of daily life to form many Christians into practical atheists. To meet this challenge, Davignon sets forth the ways intentional Christian community, and the practices that comprise it, can serve as a compelling basis for Christian counter-formation—a counter-formation capable of meeting the challenges of our current context.”
Restoring the Vocation of a Christian College
Discipleship & Christian Education
“The call for Christian education to be distinct in its forms and outcomes has long been a point of scholarly discourse, and Brad faithfully reengages this far-from-stale conversation to offer new and needed perspectives. Drawing upon an interdisciplinary cohort of faithful scholar-practitioners, Brad surfaces actionable, real-world insights that move the conversation from ideas to practice. A product of Christian imagination—this guidebook equips educators not just to think faithfully but to act faithfully.”
Teaching and Christian Imagination
Discipleship & Christian Education
“I have never read anything quite like this delightful book. The authors both nourish your soul and draw you along the path toward teaching excellence. They offer colorful meditations on the imagery of pedagogy while also rooting these ruminations in the soil of practical teaching experience. While reading these pages, I repeatedly found myself inspired to rebuild not only my classroom practices but also my own life. Every kind of Christian teacher will find this book life-giving.”
Teaching and Christian Practices
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Christian professors who seek to integrate their faith into their teaching often lack wise guides. Fortunately, David I. Smith and James K. A. Smith here provide a work in which thoughtful Christian teachers lead readers through reflections upon their own efforts to transform their pedagogical habits by incorporating unique Christian practices. As I read and pondered these insightful stories, I found myself constantly rethinking my own teaching routines. This book represents Christian educational philosophy at its practical best.”
The Christian Intellectual Tradition from the Reformation to the Modern Era
World Religions
“Reeves et al. combine their expertise across various disciplines to provide what might be best labeled a great-texts primer, which affords key insights into how noteworthy thinkers across time and contexts sought to answer life’s big, enduring questions related to the natural world, human nature, politics, God, and more. This book will be a helpful resource for Christians endeavoring to participate competently in the ongoing dialogue of the Christian intellectual tradition as it is shaped by the great debates of past and present.”
History & Biography
“Wilson-Black provides a helpful genealogy to understanding the shards of the wreckage left after the former queen of the sciences fell.”
The t-Shaped Engineer in the Age of AI
Discipleship & Christian Education
“In The t-Shaped Engineer in the Age of AI, McGinnis does something I was not expecting. He uses rich storytelling from his personal experience to make engineering human and to demonstrate the threat of AI to that humanity. As a result, his work sets forth a compelling ideal that demonstrates profound creativity, theological depth, and wisdom. It also offers an inspiring vision for forming Christian engineers who are technically excellent, relationally grounded, and purpose driven.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Yarhouse and Zaporozhets helpfully illumine the complex realities Christian parents face when journeying with their children who identify as LGBTQ+. Drawing from decades of research and the extensive experiences of other parents who have already taken this road, this book offers wise guidance for both Christian parents and churches. In particular, it offers a map of what to expect along the pilgrimage and advice for loving conversations in pursuit of redemptive, Christlike relationships along the way.”
