1 Peter

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Faithful, relatable, practical—Conversational Commentaries are the first books to pull off the shelf when you need to understand or teach the Bible, passage by passage. Equally valuable for personal study or public witness, the simple yet profound titles in this new series empower godly women to know, apply, and teach the Bible in life-changing ways.”

1–2 Peter and Jude

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“David Helm exercises a vibrant preaching ministry in the city of Chicago. This book of Bible expositions displays his strengths as a preacher and serves as a model for other Bible teachers. It is vigorous in its defense of spiritual truth, clear in its explanation of biblical words and their contextual meaning, vivid in its use of language and illustrations, well-structured in its exposition of particular Bible passages, and fresh in its practical application of biblical truth to daily Christian life. It is the kind of commentary, in other words, on which preachers quickly learn to rely.”

A Legacy of Preaching, Volume One—Apostles to the Revivalists

Preaching & Worship

“For most pastors—maybe for all—becoming a better preacher is a lifelong quest. And on that quest, few things are more beneficial than spending quality time with more gifted preachers. Reading A Legacy of Preaching affords an unprecedented opportunity for all kinds of pastors to learn from a legion of men and women who are widely regarded as among the best preachers in history, from Peter and Paul to Billy Graham and Gardner Taylor. Hearing their life stories, learning their homiletical theology, and listening to their gospel proclamation will help any pastor fulfill the high calling of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

A Shelter in the Time of Storm

Christian Living

“Paul Tripp writes out of the experience of his own suffering and his skill as a pastor/counselor in helping people through times of trouble. He knows what it is like to go through the storms of life, but more importantly, he knows where to find shelter. This book will help anyone who is hoping to find refuge.”

Ancient Word, Changing Worlds

Theology

“Ancient Word, Changing Worlds is the best, clearest, and most reliable historical overview of the doctrine of Scripture for a contemporary audience. As careful historians, Nichols and Brandt show what the church has always believed about the Bible as the Word of God, and also how our understanding of the inspiration, inerrancy, and interpretation of Scripture has grown through the centuries. The authors let scholars and theologians on all sides of the age-old battle for the Bible speak in their own words, giving us the historical context and theological framework we need to accept the Bible's own witness to its beauty, perfection, and divine authority.”

Beauty, Order, and Mystery

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“For Gerald Hiestand and Todd Wilson, the ideal of the pastor-scholar is not merely theoretical but intensely practical. The example they set through their Center for Pastor Theologians is an invitation to practice ecclesial theology. So is their new volume of thoughtful essays on God's beautiful, well-ordered, and yet mysterious purposes for human sexuality—a book that demonstrates the value and relevance of having a community of wise scholars 'do' theology in the service of the church.”

Christian Higher Education

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Given the rapid numerical expansion and dynamic intellectual growth of new Christian universities outside North America, this is an exciting moment for Christ-centered higher education worldwide. . . . The mosaic of international perspectives in this wide-ranging volume demonstrates how much all of us can learn as every part of the higher education body of Christ shares its gifts and opportunities.”

Claiming the Courageous Middle

Theology

“Claiming the Courageous Middle is a call for Christians to find more common ground in response to prolonged, pervasive polarization over race, sexuality, politics, economics, and other current issues. From her vantage point as a scholar and educational leader, Dr. Shirley Mullen correctly identifies courage as the primary virtue that the present cultural moment requires. Keeping our biblical balance is not a form of compromise, Mullen demonstrates, but an act of spiritual courage that advances Christian unity as an urgent priority for the church.”

Concise Theology

Theology

“J. I. Packer’s Concise Theology is the best simple guide to Christian doctrine that I know. Because it is systematic, precise, and saturated with Scripture, I often use this book to introduce young people and new believers to the basics of their faith.”

Culture Care

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“For Makoto Fujimura, caring deeply for souls is a way of life. Through his magnificent paintings, profound essays, and wider leadership with organizations like the National Council on the Arts and the Brehm Center at Fuller Seminary, Fujimura quietly and consistently nurtures artists and the people who love them, both inside and outside the church. In this life-giving book, he cultivates practices that help us honor God by caring for the soul of our culture.”

Daily Liturgy Devotional

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“One of the best ways to renew and refresh your personal time with the triune God is to use a new guide for daily devotions. With its Scripture readings, prayers from church history, confessions of sin, expressions of thanksgiving, memory verses, hymn lyrics, and more, Doug O’Donnell’s Daily Liturgy Devotional invites a richer conversation with the living God and strengthens core virtues for the Christian life.”

Discover Joy in Work

Work, Money & Leadership

“As a dynamic leader in business, higher education, church ministry, civic engagement, and family life, Shundrawn Thomas knows how finding joy in our daily work can impact our personal well-being and professional success. In this enthralling book full of personal experiences and practical insights that come from his Christian convictions, Thomas guides his readers through a process of self-reflection that can transform the drudgery of a job into the joy of a calling that serves other people and gives glory to God.”

Ending Human Trafficking

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The world needs more from the church than people who care; the world needs Christians who know what to do. In this compelling new book, Shayne Moore and her colleagues apply this reasoning to the scourge of human trafficking. Their comprehensive, well-informed, and collaborative strategies will empower churches to play their unique and indispensable role in ending modern slavery—effectively helping without inadvertently hurting. Perhaps most importantly, Moore, Morgan, and Yim show how prayerful Christians can make a global difference by protecting the most vulnerable people in their local communities.”

Enjoying God in Everything

Christian Living

“To fulfill our primary purpose—enjoying and glorifying God forever—we need the eyes to see the beauty of God, the beauty of what He has made, and the beauty of everything He is redeeming in Jesus Christ. Because of his exceptional capacity to perceive divine beauty, Steve DeWitt's latest book will help us all to experience more of life's deepest, purest pleasures and then give God the praise.”

Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Faithful, relatable, practical—Conversational Commentaries are the first books to pull off the shelf when you need to understand or teach the Bible, passage by passage. Equally valuable for personal study or public witness, the simple yet profound titles in this new series empower godly women to know, apply, and teach the Bible in life-changing ways.”

For the Glory of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this accessible, comprehensive resource, world-class Old Testament scholar Daniel Block presents a complete biblical theology for the worship of God. With its careful exegesis of the Bible, clear understanding of ancient Near Eastern culture, and practical suggestions for the local church, For the Glory of God is destined to become an essential text for putting God at the center of worship.”

Giving a Voice to the Voiceless

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Christopher Yuan's wise and practical recommendations--firmly rooted in a faithful biblical ethic for human sexuality--will help campus leaders care for all of their students with truth and grace.”

Gospel People

Theology

“Michael Reeves is an evangelical in every best sense of the word—a gospel person who lives for the spiritual unity and integrity that his book Gospel People so beautifully illustrates. In a time of moral confusion, political polarization, and doctrinal apathy, Reeves gives the church a clear picture of Christian orthodoxy and the humble, holy lives that ordinary Christians ought to live as a result.”

Great to Good

Christian Living

“Jae Hoon Lee is an exceptional leader for the global church. As senior pastor of Seoul's dynamic Onnuri Church—and as chairman of the host committee for the Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization—Pastor Lee's vision for global discipleship truly reaches all nations. In this wide-ranging guide to transformational ministry, he shares pithy principles for good and faithful Christian ministry.”

Hebrews

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Lydia Brownback is an experienced Bible teacher who has dedicated her life to ministry roles that help women (and men) grow in Christ. With a wealth of biblical, historical, and theological content, her Flourish Bible studies are ideal for groups and individuals that are serious about the in-depth study of the word of God.”
