12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You
Christian Living
“For many, the phone is an object of increasing anxiety, exhaustion, and dependency. The wise Tony Reinke leads us practically to find freedom from the phone without requiring us to huddle away in a monastery somewhere in the middle of Montana. If you want to know how to steward your technology and your life for Christ and his kingdom, read this.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“The twenty-first century brims with peace and prosperity and technology the likes of which no generation has ever known. And yet many people feel dead inside. Maybe you are exhausted by the 'survival of the fittest' culture all around you and the numbness it leaves behind. If so, read this book. Ashley and Bryce Hales reintroduce us to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, peeling through the familiarity of it to get at the shocking, joyous, life-upending power of it.”
A Short Guide to Spiritual Formation
Christian Living
Foreword
“[This] book doesn’t hit us with abstractions but with specific, concrete counsel on how to recognize and to pursue truth, goodness, beauty, and community. You will leave this short book not burdened down with a sense of all the things you can’t ever seem to do. You’ll instead start to see the possibility of how you, in your own life, can seek holiness and formation.”
AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep
Church Leadership & Ministry
“When it comes to AI, this book deletes the algorithms of both alarmist and utopian thinking. The authors combine deep insights about theology and technology, all with a heart no machine can replicate. Whether the prospect of artificial intelligence exhilarates you or terrifies you, this book will make you think.”
Theology
“It is hard to be simultaneously boring and polarizing, but the Calvinism/Arminianism debates typically are both. The arguments are often filled with the kind of ‘bitter jealousy’ and ‘selfish ambition,’ the Scriptures identify as ‘demonic.’ Timothy George’s Amazing Grace is different. In this book, a world-renowned Christian scholar walks through the biblical texts about God’s purpose of grace in a way that is honest, easy to understand, and charitable to those who disagree. Whether you are a Calvinist, an Arminian, or somewhere in between, you’ll learn something from this book. You’ll also see modeled how to converse with those who disagree with you. And, more than all that, you’ll put the book down at the end and worship our love-driven, grace-filled God. This is the best book on God’s grace in print today.”
Between Interpretation and Imagination
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Even at points where I differed with the author, this was an invigorating read. That’s particularly true of the last half, where she explores how the Bible—especially the Gospel of John—shows up in the Chronicles of Narnia.”
Christian Living
“Lots of us in our scariest and darkest moments want to talk to someone who ‘gets it,’ someone who’s been where we are and who can point us to life on the other side of the grief. Lauren and Michael McAfee wisely guide us through what it’s like to live through confusing or sorrow-filled times without losing heart. If you’re hurting, or if you love someone who is, this book is here for you, maybe at exactly the right time.”
Theology
“Some Christians avoid the book of Revelation, thinking it is only for the brilliant or the paranoid. In this clear and engaging book, Nancy Guthrie walks us through the meaning of this crucial book of the Bible, showing us how it is about blessing. This book wouldn't fit in a conspiracy theorist’s underground bunker, but it is needed for people who wonder how the fears and worries and regrets of our lives can be transformed by what Jesus showed John on the island of Patmos two thousand years ago. After reading Blessed, you will never again skip past Revelation in your Bible reading but will turn there with wonder and confidence, expecting to see Jesus. It will leave you informed, pondering, and, yes, blessed.”
Bonhoeffer on the Christian Life
Christian Living
“This book will quicken your pulse as you are drawn into the story and the example of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Stephen Nichols brings a long and complex life to a point of ongoing personal application. This book prompted me to pray for the kind of courage that comes only after intense communion with the living God. Read and be strengthened.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In a time when too many pastors and too many churches are content to minister among those who look like them, we need leaders with gospel courage and a biblical insight to call us out of monochromatic apathy. Derwin Gray is the right voice at the right time. Read Building a Multiethnic Church and be energized to see the kingdom of Christ in all its vivid diversity once again.”
Dr.
Children & Youth
“Carved in Ebony, like its author, is courageous, compassionate, and clear. In considering the lives and faith of the women profiled here, we can learn how we as Christians can serve Christ and love the world for which he died and lives again.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“With insight and empathy, Beaty diagnoses the broken patterns of leadership we see in the church. This book shows us the isolation and loneliness and abuse that can come from, and contribute to, these expectations of celebrity. But this book is no mere jeremiad. It points the way forward to renewed visions of power, accountability, and humility.”
Christian Living
“Dan DeWitt is a sharp, rigorous thinker who can communicate deep truths in a way people can grasp. This book shows the way forward in the struggle between Christ and our reigning secularist cultural mood. Buy three copies of this book. Get one copy for an unbelieving friend, to think through the claims of Christ. Get one for a young Christian, unsure of his or her faith. And then read one copy yourself, to equip you to engage your neighbors with the credible good news of Jesus Christ.”
Christian Living
“Tony Reinke has proven to be a wise guide for Christians through this era of technological whirl. Now with this accessible, sagacious book, he has done so again. This book shows us how to pull our eyes away from the latest viral video or our digital avatars of self and toward the ‘spectacle’ before which we often cringe and wince: the crucifixion of our Lord. That’s the spectacle we need.”
Apologetics
“What Christianity has to offer the world is bound up in its strangeness. Only a distinctive word can be truly good news in a world like this. In a secularizing age, though, Christianity is often not simply odd to the world but also unexplained and seemingly inexplicable. In this book, Rebecca McLaughlin takes seriously both the Bible and the questions of nonbelievers. If you’re a non-Christian and have wondered why Christians think and do as they do, this book will be a good start to exploring those questions. If you’re a believer, this book will not only equip you intellectually but also call you to compassion and empathy for your questioning, unbelieving neighbor, as well as prepare you to bear witness to the Light that has come into the world.”
Christian Living
“I know of no one who has more exemplified joy in suffering than John Perkins. This book will be treasured by those who are hurting, those who feel as though joy seems impossible, and for everyone who loves such people. In this book, John Perkins takes the reader to Christ and Him crucified, where all joy and suffering point. Read this book and find comfort and peace and hope.”
Theology
“Creation Care represents a thorough and thoughtful account of the biblical view of creation and how we should live in light of it. Douglas and Jonathan Moo call us away from the apathy that many, in the church and out, display toward the care of the earth and atmosphere around us. At the same time, they model charity on issues where faithful Christians might disagree on how best to apply these truths. This book will make you think and will help you think as one shaped and formed by Scripture.”
History & Biography
“Carved in Ebony, like its author, is courageous, compassionate, and clear. In considering the lives and faith of the women profiled here, we can learn how we as Christians can serve Christ and love the world for which he died and lives again.”
Children & Youth
“I can think of nothing more urgent than teaching the next generation not just that they should pray, but also how to do it. This beautiful book is a fun, understandable way to show children a practice they can carry throughout their lives and right into eternity.”
Christian Living
“This book is as vital as it is timely, offering a practical and spiritual guide to recenter believers in the peace of Christ—a peace that loves kindness, seeks justice, and renounces all fear. Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, professor, Calvin University, and author of Jesus and John Wayne Todd Hunter takes aim at our psyches and our consciences with a biblical word that goes far beyond a calmed nervous system or a Zen-like tranquility. This book will help us find peace in these tumultuous times, even with our frenetic schedules.”
