10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity
Children & Youth
“Young people might not always articulate their questions about life. But they are wondering. 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity can help them both express and satisfy their emerging questions and longings. We wish we’d had this book when we were raising our children! But now we can give it away—confidently—starting with our own grandchildren.”
Christian Living
“Every generation needs a fresh army of gospel men with a sense of destiny in their hearts. They aren’t looking for a job. They are following a call. God is setting them apart to pastoral service. Are you one of those men? Dave Harvey’s wise book will help you answer that question.”
Theology
“As Francis Schaeffer taught us, the Lord’s work must be done in the Lord’s way. In every generation, therefore, we face no more urgent question than the meaning of true spirituality. The excellent team of scholars writing in Biblical Spirituality combines academic gifts with personal wisdom to show us, from the whole of the Bible, how God has put his glory on the whole of life. Is there a more wonderful reality for us to consider together?”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Theology serves us best when it is translated into devotion. Paul David Tripp’s Come, Let Us Adore Him is that rare gem—great theology inspiring great devotion. This book will enrich my family’s experience of Christmas this year, and I believe it can enrich your Christmas too.”

“Decades ago, Malcolm Muggeridge helped us notice something: the Bible came down to us not through Dead Sea Videotapes but through Dead Sea Scrolls. Nor could videotapes have brought us the Word. Now today, with similar insight, Tony Reinke helps us notice something: beyond the media images daily surrounding us, tempting us, intimidating us, and defrauding us, Christ the Word welcomes us. Competing Spectacles can guide us back to reality, honesty, and calm, as we lift our eyes humbly to the Crucified One and pray, ‘Please show me your glory.’”
Christian Living
“John Stott’s writings are marked by clear reasoning on biblical foundations. Confess Your Sins: The Way of Reconciliation is no exception. I rejoice at its republication, especially in our time of such need. As a tsunami of sin is sweeping over us all, nothing could be more restoring, freeing, and healing than biblical confession and forgiveness. If the wisdom so ably offered in Confess Your Sins is heeded in our churches, the power of true reconciliation will feel like heaven on earth!”
Christian Living
“I thank the Lord for leading my friend John Perkins to write this timely book, Count It All Joy. Suffering is the only power that can prevail over this world of injustice. That means we are not merely available to our Lord; we are expendable for Him. And we are happy to serve Him, whatever the cost. John Perkins believes that, and his life proves it. Now his new book will help all of us walk with him on the only path that can change the world: suffering with joy.”
Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?
Apologetics
“In Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?, David Brickner opens his Jewish Bible to help us all see Jesus of Nazareth there—in the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. If you doubt that the Hebrew Scriptures, taken on their own terms, really point to Jesus, this book can satisfy your reservations.”
Theology
“Dynamics of Spiritual Life by Richard Lovelace has made a unique contribution to my ministry. No one else clarified for me the convictions that can guide a church into a revival-ready condition. The genius of this book is not that Lovelace invents new strategies for pastoring but that he shows us, in practical ways, how the gospel is the power of God for our ongoing salvation.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The apostle Paul wrote, ‘Follow me, as I follow Christ.’ We grow not only by learning true concepts but also by following faithful people. In Faithful Endurance, a team of veteran pastors invites younger pastors to follow them into the buffetings and temptations of ministry, offering the path of wisdom that the Lord faithfully provides for every new generation. I wish this fine book had been available to me when I was a young pastor.”

“Good News for Parents offers wise remedies for the inevitable fears parents face. This book is not a list of how-tos but a biblical vision of how God provides the guidance we need. Through a careful explanation of the fruit of the Spirit, enriched with poems and prayers, Adam Griffin helps us relax and trust Christ with the results of our parenting. His message is clear: We are not the center of it all—Jesus is. And that is truly good news for every parent!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Good News of Great Joy brings within our reach a fresh discovery of the glory of Christmas. What a relief, for busy people like every one of us, to sit down for 10 minutes each day in Advent and think about Jesus our Savior—and rest, rejoice, revive!”
He Is There and He Is Not Silent
Apologetics
“When our world falls apart and we must go back down to the very foundations to rebuild, we do not need slapdash, glib formulas. We need something solid, real, and honest. That is what Francis Schaeffer brilliantly offers us in He Is There and He Is Not Silent. The living God has drawn near to us and made himself known to us. If we rebuild our broken lives with his wisdom, we will have something compelling to say to our generation.”
Christian Living
“When we face a debated theological topic, we need a guide who has no ax to grind, who is fair, honest, reasonable and—above all—carefully biblical. We Christians do debate the ministries of the Holy Spirit. But we have a reliable guide in J. I. Packer and Keep in Step with the Spirit. Reading this book, we feel understood, respected, instructed, and more open to the true powers of the blessed Spirit of God.”
Christian Living
“Knowing God is one of the best books I have ever read. And J. I. Packer is one of the best thinkers I have ever known. If a great book combines a great topic with a great writer, then Knowing God is truly great. So much in our world today is second-rate, but this book is a treasure we can enjoy deeply—and because of it, know God better!”
Lloyd-Jones on the Christian Life
Christian Living
“Martyn Lloyd-Jones stood out in two compelling ways: theological depth and spiritual power. ‘The Doctor’ therefore represents what we most need afresh in our generation, especially as we pastors long to preach the biblical gospel under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This wonderful new book by Jason Meyer meets our need, not by idealizing a man but by drawing us into deeper personal reality with the living God.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Let's all admit it. The love of God can feel distant, unreal. We might even wonder, as I myself have wondered, My life is such a disaster. Does God hate my guts? Quina Aragon's Love Has a Story is for people like us. This book will move your heart, because it comes from Quina's heart. There is no pious spin here. Love Has a Story is for anyone who is open to the real love of God.”
Christian Living
“Our friend Gaye Clark has written a wise book on a weighty topic—long-term parental love. With engaging illustrations and biblical examples, Clark helps us care for our adult children more meaningfully. And even better, she helps us look to our Father God as we love our adult children. We—and they—are not alone in this journey.”
