Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Juanita and I have been friends for many years. I admire her preaching and teaching gifts, and value her generous contribution as a member of our Renovaré ministry team. Juanita describes herself as a type A personality. This is indeed true . . .although triple A might be a little more accurate description! Her 'crash,' as she describes her major depressive episode, was exactly that in every sense—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I say all this to underscore for you the importance of Learning to Be. This is a book of genuine substance dealing with the most heart-wrenching needs of the human soul. Learning to Be is an essential resource for every person seeking to navigate life in contemporary culture. I recommend it highly.”
Christian Living
“Most books can be skimmed quickly; some deserve careful reading; a precious few should be devoured and digested. Life Together ... belongs to the third category.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Living in Christ's Presence is a superb discussion of the many issues surrounding the reality of life in the kingdom of God here and now. I recommend it highly.”
Christian Living
“Mythical Me is a sorely needed corrective to our contemporary culture's obsession with constantly adjusting our personal and public image to fit hopelessly impossible standards. The wonderful news is that Mythical Me not only provides an accurate diagnosis of these soul-crushing habit patterns, it also guides us step by step into transformative ways of living and thinking that are eminently practical and life giving. I recommend it highly.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Excerpts "This book itself breathes the spirit of prayer . . . It is a book full of grace and mercy, jubilee and challenge. In it I sense Jesus inviting us to the adventure."”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“I thank God for Prayers for the Pilgrimage. Prayer is the root system that feeds and nurtures our life with God. Author W. David O. Taylor has provided us with just such a root system. Watercolor paintings by Phaedra J. Taylor placed at the beginning of each section are a lovely addition to this collection. They encourage us to pause in our reading and praying for quiet reflection and meditation . . . a selah, to use the language of the Psalms. Prayers for the Pilgrimage is a treasure. Get it. Read it. Pray it.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Pursuing God's Will Together is a much-needed corrective to our headstrong individualism today. It drills down deep into rock-bed practicalities for any community seeking to discern the will of God together. I recommend it highly.”
Arts & Literature
“John Leax is one of today's premier poets. With Remembering Jesus he utilizes his poetic skills in the serious business of imaginative play. Take! Read! Enjoy!”
History & Biography
“In Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven, James Bryan Smith writes fondly of his friend Richard Mullins. Even more, he shares the spirit of devotion that characterized Rich's life. Even more still, he points us to that great reservoir of devotion that has sustained followers of Jesus Christ throughout the centuries.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Savoring Childhood by Grace P. Pouch is a book written out of the crucible of lived experience. This makes it of enormous value, not only for our children but for us as well. There is a gentleness in the words that calls us to a deeper, fuller life of unhurried peace and power. I recommend it highly.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I have had the honor of speaking in Siang-Yang Tan’s church—or rather, Christ’s church where Dr. Tan serves as pastor—and I can witness that it is a place of joyful worship, loving fellowship, and abundant food. This warm congregation thrives in large measure due to the many years of pastoral care of Pastor Siang-Yang Tan. In Shepherding God’s People, Dr. Tan shares with us the wisdom of his years of academic and pastoral insight. This book is packed with exhaustive research and lived experience. I recommend it highly.”
Spiritual Conversations with Children
Children & Youth
“Learning to be truly present to another human being is the crying need of our day. For children, the need is double and triple. By gripping story and vivid metaphor, Lacy Finn Borgo shows us step-by-step how we can be truly present when we are with others, children especially. Spiritual Conversations with Children provides us with open windows and swinging doors onto the inner lives of children. I recommend it highly.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“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.”

Foreword
“The Fire of the Word is a marvel and a joy. How thrilling to welcome this fresh, new voice to the field of Christian spirituality. Christopher Webb has accomplished what few have succeeded in doing: he has given us courageous openings onto what a life hid with Christ in God can be like.”
The Good and Beautiful Community
Christian Living

Read them and apply them. Then live them out in the context of a loving community. You will not regret doing so.”

Theology
“I pastored one of those early churches where Dallas Willard taught Sunday school. I mean, when I taught, folks might come, but when Dallas taught, they brought their tape recorders! Me too. It was astonishing. It didn't matter which passage Dallas was teaching from--he always ended up presenting us with a rich biblical Weltanschauung, as the Germans like to say. I marveled to see parishioners studying fifteen, maybe twenty hours to prepare for the next Willard Sunday school class. These were life-transforming sessions. And now with The Kingdom Among Us Michael Stewart Robb gives us insight into the theological foundation of the Willard corpus. I'm delighted.”
