Evangelism & Missions

“If we Christians are not personally engaged in God's great mission in the world, we have missed the very thing God created us to do. But doing what we were made for isn't always easy. Traveling to the hard places and entering other cultures to witness and to serve can be fraught with challenges. And how we do it has everything to do with the impact we have as ambassadors of Christ. This classic guide from my dear friend Tim Dearborn continues to be an excellent resource for preparing your most important missions tool—your heart.”

Take Your Best Shot

Christian Living

“When people ask me how they can possibly make a difference fighting a problem as big as ‘global poverty,’ I tell them about a boy named Austin who, like David, stared Goliath in the eye without flinching. This young man has done more to make a difference in the lives of children orphaned by AIDS than most American churches, let alone individuals. If you are older than 10 and you haven’t yet done your part to change the world, read Take Your Best Shot and be inspired. Austin Gutwein shows us the way.”

Terrify No More

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A shocking glimpse into the unimaginably perverse world of ‘sex tourists’ who abuse children trapped in the international sex trade. This is an important step toward unmasking and prosecuting the thousands of crimes against children committed by American citizens abroad each year. A compelling read.”

The Mother and Child Project

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Few things in life are as important as a healthy family, and around the world today that often starts with the flourishing lives of women and children. This must-read book illustrates why maternal and child health are of such crucial importance for this—and future—generations. It could be your first step to offering hope for millions.”

The Spiritual Art of Business

Work, Money & Leadership

Spend a few hours with Barry, and he will show you how God intends to repurpose you. The Spiritual Art of Business is a book that can transform the next few decades of your career.”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Poll after poll has shown that the involvement of Christians in divisive politics has deeply damaged the witness of the church in America. Eugene Cho has given us an important wake-up call—reminding us that our most powerful witness is not found in politics, but in the moral and spiritual power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church?

“We have all had the experience of rebooting our computers when they became cluttered, overloaded, and dysfunctional. What if we could literally reboot the church? In this time of de-churching, deconstructing, politicization, and division, what if we could recapture the passion, energy, and unity of the very first Christians? In this very important book, Skye Jethani shows us how we can.”

What Your Body Knows About God

Science & Faith

“The Great Commandments and the Great Commission are at the core of our spiritual lives. In this book my friend, Rob Moll, tells a fascinating story of how God wired these commands into our very biology. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to dig deeper into their spiritual life.”

You Welcomed Me

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The issue of refugees and immigrants has become so politicized in our culture with narratives of fear and protectionism often drowning out the facts and the sheer humanity of their plight. Amazingly, we might even miss the key truth behind the question, what would Jesus do? That's why this thoughtful book by Kent Annan is so necessary now, to share stories and insights through the lens of Scripture. Read it as a tool to engage—because as Christ-followers we must engage in the most urgent humanitarian crisis of our lifetime.”
