Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Dr. Scott Morris is the kind of person who, given a shovel and a mountain to move, would say, ‘Now, where exactly would you like it to go?’ In Memphis he pioneered a new way to address the health needs of the working poor. He models holistic medicine in all its dimensions, and this book shows how.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart
Christian Living
“Praise for In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart Warning: This book should only be read by imperfect, flawed people in serious need of God's amazing grace. Thank you, Ruth Graham, for having the courage to bare your soul and then lead others back toward God's welcoming arms.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“I know Sergey as an exuberant, energetic Christian in the troubled country of Ukraine. He understands that accomplishing our mission to change society, and indeed the world, must begin at home. Family devotions used to be a hallmark of faithful families. I hope this winsome and oh-so-practical book helps to revive the practice.”
Knowing the Face of God, Revised Edition
Christian Living
“This book should be around for many years and should be read many times.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I have traveled with Ron Nikkel to visit prisons on several continents, and he’s one of my heroes. Now he and Andy Corley have served up a rich combination of Jesus-centered wisdom and raw, real-life stories. Jesus emphasized prison outreach in both his first sermon (Luke 4) and one of his last (Matthew 25). I know of no better guides to teach us how to live out that mandate.”
Reaching for the Invisible God Study Guide
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“How do I relate to a God who is invisible when I'm never quite sure he's there?”
Christian Living
“What you need to know about Ann Voskamp: after the stunning success of One Thousand Gifts, she has chosen to decline the mantle of spiritual guru and instead to become even more intimately vulnerable. In this book, she helps us slow down, stop time, and allow gritty faith to penetrate, expose, and bring the hint of healing to the mess of daily life. For all imperfect people—in other words, for all of us—she offers a compassionate and wise way forward to help navigate our broken world.”
History & Biography

Christian Living
“I admire Hoezee's courage in facing some very thorny issues: the scandal of grace, the stubborn gracelessness of much religion, the conundrum of church discipline. Drawing from sources both theological and literary, he brings to these issues wisdom, honesty and, above all, his own manner of grace.”
Arts & Literature
“After living through communism and the Cold War, a time of suppression and restraint for artists, Liviu Mocan emerged stronger and more creative than ever. Now this pairing with the poet Jill Baumgaertner gives a buoyant example of the power of art set free. Poets compress meaning into words on a flattened page. Sculptors search for new media—wood, brass, marble, bronze, gold, iron, sandstone, walnut, oak—to express the same truth in multiple shapes. Together, they offer a feast for the eyes and the mind.”
The Sound of Life’s Unspeakable Beauty
Arts & Literature
“Drawing on diverse sources—trees, mountain hikes, musical instruments, artwork—a violinmaker weaves a tapestry of beauty and spiritual wisdom. Rarely have I read such a fresh and stimulating work.”
