A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
Christian Living
“I thank God for A Long Obedience. It is a pioneer message, first coming to us at a time when no one was talking about either 'long' or 'obedience.' And while, thankfully, others have added their voices in the intervening years, A Long Obedience retains its prophetic edge for us who live on the cusp of the twenty-first century. Rooted in the ancient psalmist's Songs of Ascents it invites us to journey with Jesus into the rich spiritual landscape of 'righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.'”

“I am glad for Ambition. It explores the issue of human ambition, a topic sorely in need of careful consideration in our day of raging hubris. Ambition is far from 'a many-splendored thing' but it is certainly 'a many-faceted thing.' Ambition explores these many facets of ambition thoughtfully, even reverently. I recommend it highly.”

“Apprenticeship with Jesus is a joy-filled resource for fleshing out the details of ongoing companionship with the Author of our salvation. Putting this book into practice day by day will substantially re-form the inner core of your life.”

“Both-And is a prophetic word for our day. It is relevant. It is challenging. It is compassionate. It is courageous. Get Both-And. Read Both-And. It is for your life.”

“Few people today could have accomplished what William Griffin has done in this work. He has exegeted for us a central feature of the life and thinking of C. S. Lewis, namely, his spirituality . . . and he has done it with zest and aplomb. I commend it to you.”
History & Biography
“It is great, good news that I, without human intermediaries of any kind, can enter into full fellowship with God. And, it is great, good news that I, with full soul competency, can come to the Bible and understand its spiritual treasures, apply its life-giving message to my heart, and live in joy-filled obedience to its wonderful words of life. This is the powerful reality Alister McGrath explores so well and so helpfully in Christianity’s Dangerous Idea.”

“Deep Peace plunges us into the subterranean chambers of a peace-saturated heart and helps us wrestle with the challenging social issues of justice for the sake of a needy world. I highly recommend this book.”

Foreword
“Deep-Rooted in Christ . . . is a treasure. It reminds me of the gentle spiritual direction of the classic spiritual writers. On the Protestant side, the writings of Andrew Murray and A. W. Tozer and Oswald Chambers. On the Catholic side, François Fénelon and Thomas à Kempis and the letters of Francis of Assisi to Sister Clare. That is to say, Pastor Kang's book is spiritual wisdom literature of the highest order."Deep-Rooted in Christ speaks to the heart. It urges, gently but ever so persistently, that our hearts should always be turning, turning into the light of Christ, turning toward the Lover of our souls, turning into the Way and the Truth and the Life--'till by turning, turning we come round right.' At the same time this book warms the heart, constantly drawing and encouraging, never pushing and condemning.”

“Today the interior life of vast numbers is empty, parched, dry. And the reason? In our daily, desperate scramble of panting feverishness we have never so much as considered the health of our soul. This is why Mindy Caliguire's Soul Care Resources are so valuable and so timely for the contemporary scene. They are practical, well-grounded, wise books that help us cultivate a life of robust soul-health. I recommend Soul Care Resources highly.”
Christian Living
“The most wonderful thing that can happen to any human being is to be loved. It alone speaks to the gnawing sense of insignificance and isolation we feel. And the marvelous news is that we have been loved and we are loved, each and every one of us. Uniquely and individually. At the heart of the Universe is love, divine love, personal, intimate God-love for you and for me...Once experienced at the deepest levels of the soul, no reality can be more profoundly disturbing, more radically healing, more utterly transforming.”

“Lacy Finn Borgo has thought more deeply and practiced more fully Jesus' words inviting us to 'become like little children' than just about anyone I know. And now with Faith Like a Child she has brought this vast reservoir of wisdom to us. In helping us 're-member our childhood selves' Lacy gently guides us into a more joy-filled life . . . indeed, into a life more like Jesus. I am delighted.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“I thank God for Finding Quiet. Here J. P. Moreland, a first-rate philosopher, provides us with wise and deeply personal insights into anxiety and depression. In doing so, he gives us a most useful understanding of the functioning of the human soul. I highly recommend Finding Quiet.”

“True service is close to the heart of all who are following hard after Jesus. For this reason I welcome Full Service by Siang-Yang Tan. Dr. Tan has wonderfully distilled and critiqued the vast literature on servanthood and leadership, and in addition, given us practical insights into how servanthood looks in daily life. Full Service is itself a genuine act of service.”

“The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.”

“The best book on divine guidance I have ever read. I recommend it highly.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“The third chapter of Colossians is one of the supreme passages in Scripture, brimming as it does with life-giving realities. Hidden in Christ can serve as a kind of midwife to help bring these realities to birth within us.”

“The practice of silence, in both its personal and its corporate expressions, is one of the special gifts Quakers have given to the larger Christian community. In Holy Silence J. Brent Bill unpacks this gift for us in vibrant colors and vivid detail. Holy Silence will deepen you, thicken you, and energize you. Get this book!”

“Eugene H. Peterson skillfully uses the David story to talk not about David, but about you and me. Leap Over A Wall is the human story in all its wonder and terror and pity.”
