“Andrew Osenga explores something many Christians feel but don't know how to articulate: the hunger for something older and truer than spiritual performance. This book doesn't scold or sell—it listens, laments, and then leads us back to what we've almost lost.”
How to Stay Christian in Seminary
Christian Living
“This book makes me angry and sad—because I wish it had been written years earlier. As I read it, I can see faces of people I love who wrecked their lives in seminary, and I wish I could go back in time and hand them this volume. Some of them lost the faith. Some lost their families. Some lost their integrity. The Devil wants to bring down ministers of the gospel, and he usually erects the demolition scaffolding in seminary, when we’re too occupied with Greek flash cards to see the shadow of the pitchfork on the wall. This book, by brilliant men of God, can help you lay out a war plan. Read it, and fight.”
Christian Living
“How We Relate will help you understand your personality traits and why you’re inclined in the ways you are. But that’s not really what it’s about. This book is about connection—about helping you discover what you’ve never noticed in yourself or in others so that you can relate, commune, serve, and love. That is the kind of help I need, and you probably do too.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Some have given up on a biblical vision of racial justice, morality, and reconciliation. Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones have not. This book is a practical guide that gives up neither sober realism nor kingdom hope.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book, by some of the most thoughtful leaders in the church today, points us away from fear and panic and toward promise and hope and joy. Jesus is building his church, and doing so, as he always has, using those who are at the margins. This book will help ready you for the exciting next generation of the Spirit's work through the church.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“I know countless families who have asked for just this book. I am glad that it was written, and that Brittany Salmon is the one to write it. Every adoption brings difficulties and challenges. Transcultural adoptions can sometimes be even more confusing, for parents and children and birth families, all wanting to love each other and to do the right thing. This book raises difficult questions, offers authentic reflection, and can help families think through how best to approach these matters. It takes more than love, but it takes nothing less. This is a book of love and of hope.”
Christian Living
“Karl Barth spoke of finding a 'strange new world' in the Bible. Nothing could seem stranger or newer to the ambient culture than a biblical understanding of manhood and womanhood. In this insightful and winsome book, Margaret Elizabeth Köstenberger shows that the debate over feminism is not, first of all, about whose name has 'Reverend' in front of it. It is, first of all, and last of all, 'about Jesus.' Those wishing to engage the feminist culture all around us will find an excellent resource in this volume.”
Christian Living
“Hartman's book is an encouragement to the church that eschatology is not a place for speculation but hope. Rather than be fearful about the end, Hartman asks the church to unite around the essentials and be about the work of the gospel with hope and assurance rather than anxiety. This introduction to the hope of eschatology will be a welcome resource for pastors and laity.”
Christian Living
“At some point in every Christian's life, God intervenes to show us that what we thought to be our home isn't—and sometimes, only a lifetime later does one see that this was actually good news. Mike Cosper is one of the sharpest thinkers in the Christian world, and also one of the most creative. This book includes cultural analysis, personal lament, and biblical reflection. If you've ever felt the pain of losing home—and if you want to learn how to long for something better—this is the book for you.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“If your mailboxes, physical and digital, are like mine, they are filled with apocalyptic rantings. Religious groups point to the signs of the end times. Environmentalist groups warn us we must act now, before it's too late. Here's a different message. While not every reader will agree with every perspective in this book, all of us can be provoked by its winsome engagement with tough issues from a biblical perspective. Whatever your position on matters such as climate change, this book will prompt you to think through how your biblical hope intersects with the problems of the day.”
Christian Living
“Sometimes catechisms seem to emphasize truth at the expense of life. The parroting back of doctrinal answers to posed questions, while often valuable, can be dangerous for those tempted to think of Christianity as the mastery of syllogisms rather than as the Way of the Cross. In this book, Brad East takes us along as he guides a young pilgrim in the path that is Jesus. Reading this will help you see your own faith with fresh eyes and will prompt you to be not just a disciple but a discipler.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In this book, Micah Fries and Jeremy Maxfield dismantle the idea that the church is a corporation of consumers, served by a professional class. Instead, this book calls us back to an ancient vision of the New Testament: of a clergy called out not to serve in the place of the people but to equip and empower the people for the work of ministry. If we heed the call of this book, we will see a more faithful, more joyful, more purposeful church.”
Preaching & Worship
“At a time when almost every institution seems to be in crisis, this book shows a better way forward for the church: the way of worship and mission. This book will help you better enjoy and serve the God who sends.”
Christian Living
“Few of us want to admit how lonely we are. It feels shameful, even though almost everyone is facing loneliness right now. In this book, Justin Whitmel Earley draws us out of all of that to show us not just why we need people but how to combat this lonely age. This book is practical and timely and will make you feel less alone.”
Christian Living
“Sexual sin can seem like a trap from which one can never escape. David Powlison brings good news to those caught in sexual sin, and to those who have been sinned against. This book addresses sexual sin not with shame and moralizing but with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We all need to hear the message of this book.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“If you are looking for just another collection of saccharine clichés about shiny happy Christian families, then you might want to leave this volume on the bookstore shelf. In an era when too many Christians listen more intently to television therapists than to the Bible on the question of the family, this could be one of the most significant books you ever read.”
Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel
Theology
“There is no one alive I would rather read than Ray Ortlund. This book will show you why. It shows us how marriage is a metaphor for the gospel itself, the one-flesh union of Christ to his church. This book will help you see the gospel and marriage both in a clearer light—in the light of an unveiled mystery.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“By reading this book, you can learn from one of the most impressive and effective leaders in the world today. Regardless of your specific calling, Nicole Massie Martin here will equip you to lead with joy, humility, and excellence while overcoming discouragement and hardship. By the time you close the book, you will not only be ready to lead better, but you will also be inspired to follow Jesus more closely than ever.”
Christian Living
“This book, by one of the brightest writers in contemporary evangelicalism, examines the life lessons of a hymn writer, a freedom fighter, and a gospel preacher. Even if you don’t think you like church history, you will love this book. Reinke ties Newton’s life and thought to practical applications for every believer. I encourage you to read and savor anew the grace that saved wretches like us.”
