History & Biography
“It’s impossible to understand our crazy current moment at the intersection of politics and religion without understanding how the twentieth century led us here. And it’s impossible to understand the twentieth century without understanding Richard Nixon. With riveting storytelling, Daniel Silliman submerges the reader both in the tricky psychology of this brilliant, tragic man and in the social forces that transformed his world and ours. This book broke into my mind like a door at the Watergate Hotel.”
History & Biography
“When I hear the word ‘evangelist,’ the first face I imagine is always that of Billy Graham. And when I think of careful analysis of Graham’s monumental reshaping of the world religious landscape, the only name I can imagine is that of renowned historian Grant Wacker.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“This isn't a history textbook but a lively introduction to a group of flawed but faith-filled followers of Christ spanning the breadth of the Christian church. You will come away from this book not just educated about these men and women but inspired to seek out the ways of the Spirit to which they point.”
Theology
“Avoiding both gullibility and cynicism, Vickers and McCall guide us through what happened at the Asbury Outpouring. Along the way, they show us what revival can and ought to be. This book will leave you hopeful and maybe even praying in ways you never thought you could.”
Christian Living
“The word wonderful is a cliché these days, meaning simply 'very good.' This book, though, reclaims what it means to be wonder-full. Mike Cosper, one of the keenest gospel Christian analysts of culture alive today, shows us in this book why our world has become so disenchanted and charts us back to the joy of awe. This is an awe-full and wonder-full book, in the right meaning of both of those words.”
Arts & Literature
“Sometimes when standing at a museum, I think to myself, I wish somebody who knows something would explain this to me. And I look around and see, on one side of me, someone expertly pointing out every intricacy in the painting and, on the other, someone bored and looking at a phone in hand. Somehow this book is able to captivate people in all those categories. Russ Ramsey walks us through a museum of artists and art works, showing how each of them illuminates something about God, humanity, and the meaning of life, and he does it in a way that won’t bore the expert or intimidate the novice. Those who love art will find here new paths to the gospel. And those who love the gospel will find that they can love art. That’s a lot to ask from a book, and this one delivers.”
Christian Living
“I pray that you come away from a book on mortality with a sense of clarity about what really matters—about who really matters. I pray that this book, as it leads you to reflect on your own coming demise, gives you a sense of joy, of gratitude, of longing to be part of that great cloud of witnesses in heaven. Your life is worth living precisely because it is not your life at all. Your life is hidden with Christ. That gives you the freedom to lose your life in sacrifice to others, in obedience to God, in order to save it.”
Christian Living
“Some Christians are paralyzed by fear or indecision or constant second-guessing or by the blur of activity in their lives. In this book, Owen Strachan points out what’s immobilizing you right now, and to give you the gospel coaching to run the race again. Read this book to stir up courage in yourself, or to equip you to do so for a brother or sister in need.”
Same-Sex Attraction and the Church
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Ed Shaw identifies the primary obstacle to a Christian sexual ethic in today's culture. It is not that the culture weighs Christian arguments and finds them wanting, but rather that the culture cannot imagine any alternative to sexual autonomy. In this book, Shaw pastorally and wisely shows how to apply a Christian vision of marriage and sexuality to those with attraction to the same sex. The book is a welcome vehicle for discipleship for the whole church to help us to bear one another's burdens.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is a powerful, persuasive case that the people of Christ should care about the vulnerable, including those fleeing from danger. Its message is even more crucial now than it ever was before. Read this book with an open mind and a Christ-shaped conscience.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Start with Welcome combines biblical orthodoxy with practical counsel on how we can follow Jesus in seeing those whom the world often wants to make invisible.”
Christian Living
“Courtney Reissig is a true daughter of Sarah. She is wise, discerning, brave, and thoughtful. This book is a needed antidote to the false views of women we so often encounter, and too often absorb, in our culture.”
Apologetics
“For too long, evangelical Christians have sometimes acted as though apologetics were simply a matter of reaching the intellect with more data. Joe Wooddell, one of the brightest lights in evangelical Christian philosophy, continues the conversation in another direction with this fascinating book. I commend it to you, and long for the day when evangelical Christianity clearly engages the mind, the heart, and the imagination with the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Praise for The Body Teaches the Soul Justin Whitmel Earley has written the book many of us didn’t know we needed—until our hearts raced, our minds spiraled, or our screens numbed us into disconnection. This book shows how healing begins not in our heads alone but in our habits, our breath, our bodies too.”
Christian Living
“Mike Cosper has stared into the abyss of the darkest horrors of American Christianity. He also has gazed into the light of the glory of Christ. This book shows us how to tell the difference between the two while yielding to neither complicity nor cynicism. Listeners to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast will find that this book shows a way forward without wish-casting or spin, but with honest, repentant, cross-shaped hope.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“In this book, Darrin and Amie Patrick give us down-to-earth, practical words of wisdom to young men about relating to their wives well. This book is solidly biblical, gospel rich, and helpfully practical. The Patricks don’t deal in airy abstractions but give concrete guidance for men about what it takes to succeed as husbands. The Dude’s Guide to Marriage is brimming with valuable insight gained from years of experience. It would be a great book to give to a couple in premarital counseling or to share with a long-time married couple, still learning, as we all are, how to grow together in Christ. I highly recommend it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Hunter Baker is one of the sharpest thinkers in contemporary American Christianity. This work will provoke the same kind of conversation ignited by Richard John Neuhaus's The Naked Public Square. Read this book slowly with a highlighter and a pen in hand as you think about questions ranging from whether the Ten Commandments ought to hang in your local courthouse to whether there's a future for public Christianity.”
The Family Life of a Christian Leader
Christian Living
“Family life is never easy. This book, from a wise, experienced sage, can help you, regardless of your family situation. It rings with biblical authority and practical counsel, helping equip you to be the husband, wife, father, or mother God is calling you to be.”
Christian Living
“I can think of no one who better understands people than Ian Cron. This book may be his most personal and his most pointed yet. Whether you have grappled with any kind of addiction, you love someone who does, or you just want to change something about your life, this is the book for you. Just picking up this book might be the half step you need in the right new direction.”
The Gospel Comes with a House Key
Evangelism & Missions
“One cannot spend any time at all with Rosaria Butterfield without a renewed sense of how good the good news really is. This book is a needed call to the church to model the hospitality of our Lord. As our culture faces a crisis of loneliness, this is the book we need. The book will inspire you and leave you with a notebook filled with ideas for how to practically engage your neighbors with the welcome of the gospel.”
