Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“I have rarely been inclined to describe a book as superb, but in this case, no other word will do. Living the Lord's Prayer is so rich in story and holy conversation that, in conjunction with Scripture, it could make an almost complete library for those seeking authentic Christian formation.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Living Without Enemies is exactly and perfectly what reconciliation literature should be. Informative, certainly. Moving beyond anything I would or could have ever expected. And above all, instructive of my soul and my own Christian practice. I am much in the authors' debt for their retelling of these stories and experiences.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In Opening to God, David Benner has given us a generous, comprehensive and very pastoral guide not only to the myriad types of prayer open to us as Christians, but also to the informing attitudes and physical nuances which can enable a rich prayer life in all of us.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Once again, Myers hits a home run. Written in personable fashion and with highly informed common sense, Organic Community calls us all—church and congregants alike—to honesty about our goals and then offers us sophisticated, efficacious, and grace-filled ways to realize them.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“"In Path of the Purified Heart, Dunham employs all the candor and intimacy of good memoir and all the objectivity of a trained pastor to give us an honest and informative look into Christian mysticism from the perspective of the Reformed tradition.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This is an important book in the original sense of that adjective: it is a book that ‘imports’ to the church something that was lost in the Reformation and has been sorely missed during the centuries since. Protestant Christians, whether liturgical or not, will find here not only a missing part of their heritage, but also much counsel and instruction for their future practice of the faith.”

“Bryan Berghoef has given us the most complete presentation to date of what pub theology is, why it exists, and what it contributes to the lives and faiths of an increasing number of Christians. With his conversationally written and accessible reportage, he has also created something close to a manual for those who want to initiate a pub theology circle or simply find and join one.”
Fiction
“Wow! Recruits is a remarkable feat, combining adroit storytelling with a delicious mixture of the now and the fantastic. Locke’s writing shows a wonderfully fluid grace. The story brings to mind the poignant beauty of Arthur C. Clarke’s best novels, as well as such modern works as Avatar.”
Theology
“A crystal-clear, powerful course-correction for all of us--Christian or otherwise. If you want to know what Easter is about, get yourself a copy of Surprised by Hope and hunker down for the read of a lifetime....literally.”

The Missional Church in Perspective
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The Missional Church in Perspective is the most precise, informed, and uncompromising parsing to date of the history of the concept of ‘missional’ both as a sensibility and as a form of praxis. Like all good historical analyses, this book provides not only a basis for understanding where we have been but also a well-honed tool for considering where we may need and want to go next.”
The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Charmingly and conversationally written, but also rich in nuance and thorough in its coverage and its attention to detail, The Big Book is, as its name suggests, a big—even an enormous—scontribution to our current literature on the subject. Highly recommended.”
“In the tradition of all great apologists, Jones has written both a reasoned explication and a deeply personal explanation of emergent Christianity. Every thinking Christian should read this book either for the explication or the explanation. Wise ones will read it for both”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“With the easiness of long intimacy and a very deft hand, Buchanan here braids together into one gracious and sustaining strand the beauty of the Sabbath, the wisdom of its keeping, and the generosity of God in gifting us with it. These pages are not just a blessing, they are a psalm that cries out to be joyfully engaged.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This book is sturdy because it is made of sterner stuff than are most books, especially than are most religion books; that this book is about discipline; that this book is a map back to the ancient-future.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The Sacred Year is destined to become a classic within the genre of contemporary spiritual and religious writing.”
The Sacredness of Questioning Everything
“Brilliant and charming and insightful as always, Dark comforts both my soul and my mind with this synthesis, part memoir and part essay, of the culture around us and the culture within us.”
Theology
“Here McLaren breaks new ground. The Secret Message of Jesus is his first decoding of the Gospel for those who are, or wish to be, ‘a new kind of Christian.’ More to the point, Christians of every kind, old or new, will receive energy and a renewal of their own commitment from reading these pages.”
