Theology
“A mini-theology that breathes life! Justin Roberts's Behold Our God is contemplative spiritual theology at its best. It achieves his aim to bridge the intersection of the 'scandalous particularity' of the revelation of God in Christ, and 'the attestation of the glories of God' which flow through creation in a way that succeeds in making them 'harmonious dancing partners.' And it is written beautifully, evoking wonder and doxology. Your spiritual formation will be deepened by this read!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Church in Life is an evocative title that expresses succinctly the ecclesial and therefore missional nature of Christian life. Michael Moynagh brings us up to date on a fresh missional move of God through innovative churches which are fresh expressions of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. In so doing he informs and inspires us to live into and out of the missional identity of all of our churches.”
Theology
“In the moral and ethical maze of our time, this gathering of Iain Provan’s insights will help to upend assumed and cherished cultural narratives and ground the thinking of the church in biblical and theological narratives instead. His insight that the primary theological question of our time is ‘What does it mean to be human?’ is, I believe, correct. The core answer to this question lies in Christian humanism grounded in the biblical texts and the incarnation. This kind of work will hopefully curb the descent of the West into dystopia.”
Theology
“En el laberinto moral y ético de nuestro tiempo, esta recopilación de las ideas de Iain Provan ayudará a cuestionar y plantear las narrativas culturales asumidas y apreciadas y a fundamentar el pensamiento de la Iglesia en narrativas bíblicas y teológicas.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Matt Crocker has written a book about something I worry about almost every day—how this generation is being formed in an age where their immersion in social media is deep and the distractions that lead to disintegration are unprecedented. I can’t imagine something better for formation than a series of daily devotionals that expound on the great confessions of the Christian faith and invite us into an encounter with Scripture and with the living God in prayer. When people take and use this book faithfully, they will have been exposed to the whole counsel of God in a way that will form not only their Christian minds, but their hearts and lives also. Matt has written this in an engaging, accessible, and culturally conscious yet countercultural way, and I heartily endorse it.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book adds a needed injection into the discussion of the nature of the church and its leadership models in the twenty-first century. Many churches and pastors tend to be rigidly model-orientated, even emerging churches. Tidball offers 'models of permission' that enable a freer approach to ministry and the way it is conducted. He provides a refreshingly 'multicolored not monochrome' picture of ministry.”
Theology
“This fascinating book is the welcome attempt of a fearless young theologian to make the reality of God the Holy Trinity accessible and relevant at a popular level. If God is truly Trinity, and if there is no God ‘back of’ the three divine persons in coinherent communion, who share the divine essence and are equal in honor, and if knowing Jesus by the Spirit means knowing the Father, and if the triune being of God is more than a doctrine but a way of seeing the world and the cosmos, and if the Trinity is truly the center and architectonic of theology and life, then the message of this book is worthwhile, indeed vital, for all humanity. It is both entertaining and enlightening.”
Theology
“That Kant was an influence on—indeed, an asset to—Barth’s theological revelatory epistemology and that Kant can be a helpful influence for contemporary theology may seem to be counterintuitive. This careful work makes the convincing and nuanced case that it is so. Hand simply shows that Barth himself and, indeed, all theology after Kant, simply has to reckon with him, even if only to adapt or refine his assertions. I recommend the careful scholarship that this work represents.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“It is rare to find a person who is both a skilled emergency physician and also a theologically trained ethicist. Here Quentin reflects on one of the most difficult challenges facing persons and communities in cities, that of addiction. But this is not dry ethics. It pulsates with the experiences of real people and with gospel hope and hospitality. His discerning, person-centered approach makes me hope that this is only the beginning of many books he will write on pressing ethical issues of our time.”
History & Biography
“This is a riveting and humorous memoir of family life, the encountering of creation, personal pilgrimage, and grace-filled soul formation that will warm the heart and provide incentive for life in the triune God and his embodied community.”
Theology
“This is a realistic yet profoundly hope-filled account of contemporary, post-Christian, fragmented society and the nature and role of the church in its exilic state. Grounded in thorough biblical exposition, Beach normalizes this state, and in fact suggests that the church is most healthy and most true to its missional identity when it 'digs the ground' it is on! Lee Beach has made a significant contribution to the 'church in exile' literature by fleshing out what it means for said church to live into its true identity. All church leaders should have this book in their arsenal!”
The Holy Spirit in the New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“William Simmons certainly has his finger on the pulse of global Christianity and the phenomenal growth of the Pentecostal and charismatic movement, as well as the concomitant need for sound and lively theology for this church. He has written a helpful New Testament theology of the Spirit that honors the third person of the Trinity and opens the door for a drawing together of the incarnational and the pneumatic—that is the person and work of the Son and the Spirit—in Christian life and thought. This book may be a further contribution to the movement called 'Third Article Theology,' in which theology is viewed from the lens of the third article of the Nicene Creed. This attempt to overcome dualisms and bring together what is not separated in organic theology—that is exegesis and devotion, theology and praxis, the Christian mind and Christian spirituality and ethics—by the power of the Spirit, by means of a focus on the Spirit in each book of the New Testament, is indeed commendable.”
