The Letter to the Hebrews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jon Laansma's new commentary on Hebrews is an ideal resource for serious expositors, full of practical themes for teaching and preaching. As a gifted scholar with a heart for the local church and for global evangelism, Dr. Laansma has an intuitive grasp of the epistle's missional context and homiletical structure. His scholarship - which is thoroughly up to date--is presented in a fresh, accessible style and animated throughout by a dramatic encounter with Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Great High Priest of our salvation.”

The Message of the Old Testament

Christian Living

“This book is a landmark in the history of Bible exposition—a homiletical tour de force. At the rate of one long sermon per book, Mark Dever has preached his way through the entire Bible. Reading this collection of his messages is an ideal way to get a sweeping overview of the Old Testament, or else to begin preparing to teach or preach any one of its individual books.”

The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church, vol. 7

Preaching & Worship

“With this expansive volume, Hughes Oliphant Old brings his massive global history of Christian preaching to an inspiring close. Our Own Time is remarkable for its geographical and theological breadth, spanning five continents and showing generous personal appreciation for an amazing range of twentieth- and twenty-first-century preachers. The great strength of Old's approach is the direct exposure he gives to the original texts of actual sermons. Anyone who loves biblical exposition will be encouraged by the vitality of contemporary homiletics and will gain an expanded understanding of the preaching of the church worldwide.”

The Supremacy of God in Preaching

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The Supremacy of God in Preaching is one of the few truly indispensable books on gospel ministry.”

Tried and True

Work, Money & Leadership

“Margaret Diddams and Shirley A. Mullen are thoughtful, battle-tested leaders who have a heart for helping other leaders fulfill their divine calling to sacrificial service for their communities. In Tried and True, they draw on their shared Wesleyan heritage; their broad expertise in history, psychology, and theology; and their faithful, sometimes costly leadership experience to develop a practical Trinitarian framework for Christian leadership. The dynamic dialogue they carry on across these pages will inspire other leaders to offer God their very best in deep dependence on the Spirit of Christ.”

Turning the World Upside Down

Christian Living

“My colleague, friend, and former pastor Iain Duguid has dedicated his life to understanding the Scriptures at their full depth, teaching biblical truths in an understandable way, and growing healthy churches by developing godly leaders. This makes him the ideal pastor to do what he does so helpfully in Turning the World Upside Down: connect the story of the first church to the ministry needs and gospel opportunities of the church in today’s post-Christian, prerevival society.”

Walking with Jesus on Campus

Christian Living

“Going to college is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for social and intellectual growth. It should also be a time for spiritual growth—for learning to walk with Jesus. Stephen Kellough has been teaching students how to make that walk for more than twenty-five years as a campus pastor. In this engaging book, Kellough uses his skill as a storyteller and experience as a shepherd of the human soul to address exactly the issues that college students face today.”

When the Stars Disappear

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Talbot’s experience of suffering gives him a heart of empathy for anyone who struggles to understand the hard ways of God. His rigor as a Christian philosopher equips him to voice the most disturbing questions we have about human pain without minimizing their difficulty or giving in to despair. Talbot uses stories from Scripture to offer the clear practical and theological guidance that suffering believers need to move forward in hope. This beautiful book will comfort readers with the assurance that we are never alone in our suffering but sustained by our ever-loving Savior.”

Where Wisdom May Be Found

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Most universities are really ‘multi-versities’—schools where academic subjects are studied in isolation from other disciplines, without any reference to God . . . Reading Where Wisdom May Be Found will help students and scholars gain eternal wisdom by seeing each academic discipline in proper relation to the total discipleship of the Christian mind.”

Whitefield on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“By all accounts, George Whitefield was one of the greatest, most prolific, most persuasive preachers in evangelical church history. At the heart of his preaching was a gospel experience that tragically became a Christian cliché and is often neglected altogether: the necessity of a new spiritual birth to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. This accessible yet comprehensive introduction to Whitefield’s ministry and theology helps us to recapture the cruciality of conversion for our own spiritual experience and evangelistic ministries.”

Whiter Than Snow

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Whiter Than Snow is music for the sinner's soul. In fifty-two personal, creative, and sometimes poetic devotionals, Paul Tripp responds to Psalm 51 the way a jazz musician improvises on a familiar tune. In making this sweet music, Dr. Tripp makes King David's confession our own, helping us get honest about our sin and opening our hearts to the mercy of Jesus.”

Wrestling with Job

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The biblical book of Job takes a hard, honest look at the painful trials all of us suffer. In this exceptional guide to its main interpretations and applications, one of my favorite pastors (Bill Kynes) combines forces with a world-class scholar (Will Kynes) to produce a faith-building book for Bible teachers and the people they serve. Rather than attempting to solve the mysteries of evil and divine sovereignty, Wrestling with Job helps readers persevere through times of spiritual struggle with enduring trust in Almighty God, and in his Son, Jesus Christ.”
