A War of Loves

History & Biography

“Riveting, extraordinary—quite extraordinary! I really think I could give this book to any contact I have and they’ll be fascinated. I do wonder whether it will become a Christian classic of our time.”

Disciplines of a Godly Young Man

Christian Living

“This is a really uncomfortable book. I can honestly say that I read something troubling on every page. I am therefore so grateful to God for this great aid to the overriding aim of all of our lives: Christlikeness—read it and repent.”

How to Talk about Jesus (Without Being That Guy)

Evangelism & Missions

“Reading Sam Chan’s How to Talk about Jesus (Without Being That Guy was a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle—you have all the pieces, but you’re not sure how they fit together. In terms of evangelism, I knew that things like theology, story, culture, history, and community were essential, but I hadn’t grasped how they fit together until Sam gave me the code. The church owes Sam a huge debt of thanks for this excellent resource, which will help us model faithful, sustainable evangelism ourselves and also train our beloved church families to speak about Jesus.”

I Wish Jesus Hadn't Said That

Christian Living

“A profoundly challenging book. I was left reeling by these hard sayings of Jesus: first, when my mind acknowledged Jesus really had said what he said; secondly, when my heart began to wrestle with the implications; and thirdly, when my will cried to the Lord for help . . . but then there were flickers of joy.”

Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World

Evangelism & Missions

“Becky Manley Pippert has given her life to giving people the confidence to speak about Jesus. How does she do it? First and foremost, she's absolutely thrilled about Jesus, and he is the message. Then she models the fact that the sovereign Lord loves to organize encounters with lost people, and the Spirit loves to illumine their hearts . . . wonderful! But Becky is not naive; she understands our guilty silence and helps us practice the presence of Christ as we seek to overcome our fears and discover what it means to live and speak for Jesus.”

Questioning Faith

Christian Living

“l found this book riveting, not least because Randy Newman has given so much of his life to really hearing people’s stories. He has listened to their questions and is deeply engaged with their convictions and emotions. The result is a book that profoundly and humanely engages with what is going on beneath the surface in our culture.”

The Contemporary Christian

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Imagine being a child overwhelmed by hundreds of jigsaw puzzle pieces—you just can't put them together! And then imagine a kindly old uncle comes along and helps you put the whole thing together piece by piece. That is what it felt like reading John Stott's The Contemporary Christian. For those of us who feel we can't get our head around our Bible, let alone our world, he comes along and, with his staggering gifts of clarity and insight, helps us step by step to work out what it means to understand our world through biblical lenses. It's then a great blessing to have Tim Chester's questions at the end of each chapter, which help us think through and internalize each step.”
