Theology
“This new set of essays on the topic of hell's duration is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion on this important topic . . . What we have here is not a bunch of hobbyhorse theologians sitting around agreeing with each other, but a group of astute pastors and scholars wrestling with what God's inspired word says about hell. I commend this book to anyone who is wrestling with the topic of God's future judgment.”
History & Biography
“This is an incredibly raw and authentic book! David paints a beautiful and compelling picture of what it looks like to desire Christ above all else. His affections for Jesus make me excited to be a Christian.”
A Woman's Place Is in the Story
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Sandra Glahn's book is an exquisite and exciting contribution to the (neglected) role that women play in the biblical story. Taking a narrative approach to interpretation, she alerts the reader to subtle yet vibrant female characters in the Bible and also corrects some modern assumptions. Women aren't mentioned as often as men in Scripture, but when they are, they play pivotal roles in God's story of redemption.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Nate Collins has been researching and thinking through LGBTQ related questions for many years, and his new book, All But Invisible, represents the fruit of his journey. In it, Collins asks new questions and develops fresh categories regarding orientation and identity, and he does so in a thorough yet accessible way. This truly is a valuable contribution to the discussion and not just yet another book to be thrown on the pile of LGBTQ books. There are few people on the planet that I resonate with more than Nate Collins on this topic.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Every time I hang out with Laurie and Matt, I see Jesus on the throne of their marriage. Not because they have that gooey, mushy, always-in-love-and-never-a-fight marriage. They don't. (And who does?) Instead, their marriage radiates meaning, depth, authenticity, genuine joy, and a cross-shaped shadow that points to the real meaning of marriage—Christ's unyielding love for his people. Laurie and Matt's marriage shows off the gospel in all its truth and grace, which is why I'm so excited they decided to write this book. Anyone who is married or considering getting married needs to read An Impossible Marriage.”
Men
“This book is brimming with gospel-centered wisdom. Whether you’re single, married, or soon to be married, it will help you examine the roots of sexual temptation and some misguided views we have about sex.”
Christian Living
“When I first heard Eli speak, I immediately thought, he should write a book on that! This is why I’m so excited that he did! Mixed will take you on a complex journey that will be both uncomfortable and encouraging, disruptive and comforting. While navigating delicate topics like multiethnicity in America, the politics of race, and divisions in the church over cultural topics, Eli keeps the gospel at the forefront of everything he says. Eli’s brutal honesty combined with Christ-like humility made this book very hard to put down.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Nobody's Mother is an impressive contribution to the discussion about women in church leadership and the background of 1 Timothy. With studious attention to archaeological and exegetical details, Sandra Glahn dives deep into some of the most complex questions surrounding one of the most complicated passages in the New Testament. Not every reader will agree with Glahn's conclusions, but everyone who is interested in what Paul was trying to say in 1 Tim 2:8-15 must wrestle with Glahn's scholarly, responsible work. I found this book very hard to put down!”
Christian Living
“I found myself experiencing a full range of human emotions as I was clinging to these pages. One moment I was laughing out loud, while the next I was fighting back tears. Regenerate reads like a movie—one which will resonate with so many Christians wrestling with their faith while seeking to follow Jesus. If you’ve ever peeled back the thin veneer of happy clappy Christianity and wondered if the actual Jesus is really worth following, then this book is a must-read. One of the best books I’ve read this year.”
Christian Living
“Greg Coles and Julia Hejduk’s book Sexuality Beyond Sex is simply outstanding! Not only is it theologically profound and academically responsible, but it’s written with such thrilling prose that it’s nearly impossible to put down. It’s one of the most exciting books I’ve ever read on sexuality.”
World Religions
“An absolute joy to read! It moved not only my mind but also my heart, as I was taken on a fascinating journey into the peculiar lives and beliefs of early Christians. The book is both academically responsible and very practical. It uncovers an example of what it means for Christians to be in the world but not of the world. Nijay has an uncanny ability to examine ancient texts with precision and care and also to don a pastoral hat to help modern Christians not just study the past but learn from it. Put simply, Nijay’s book makes me excited to be a Christian.”
Christian Living
“In a striking display of honesty and depth, Andrew and Rachel Wilson explore the tension of faith and reality in this moving book. What I love most is that it’s written in ‘real time.’ They reflect on the pain and joy not after the fact but while they are experiencing it. The Life We Never Expected is one of those books you have to force yourself to put down. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will celebrate the goodness of God—even in the midst of suffering.”
Christian Living
“I just can’t do it. I can’t slug my way through yet another Christian book talking about the same old stuff in the same old predictable verbiage. This is why Joshua Ryan Butler is quickly becoming one of my favorite Christian writers. His lively prose nurtures thick theological reflection, creating a profound and profoundly accessible book. Joshua’s first gem, The Skeletons in God’s Closet, messed with my mind—in a good way. The Pursuing God messed with my heart—in a redemptive way—by reintroducing me to a scandalous God who aggressively pursues us with stubborn delight. Hands down: this is THE book to read for 2016! For everything that’s good and holy, please read this book—Chapters 7 and 8 alone are worth its price in gold.”
Christian Living
“With exquisite scholarship and studious attention to the biblical text, Muddamalle peals back the curtain on the spiritual battle that is integral to the story of Scripture. If you want to gain a fuller understanding of the biblical drama of salvation, The Unseen Battle is a must-read!”
Untangling Critical Race Theory
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“Ed's book is not only a responsible, fair, and honest evaluation of CRT and its Marxist roots, but it is also a model of what evangelical scholarship should look like. If you want an intellectually lazy approach to CRT that takes a binary—'CRT is evil!' or 'CRT is 100 percent true!'—then stick to your favorite partisan pundit to spoon feed you the 'truth.' But if you want an honest and responsible guide to help you think through the complexities of CRT and how it contributes to our understanding of race relations, then I cannot more highly recommend this book.”
