The Great Tradition of Christian Thinking
Discipleship & Christian Education
“David Dockery and Timothy George are among the preeminent Christian intellectuals of the current age. This book demonstrates why. The volume courses with biblical conviction, evangelical vitality, and a breadth that interacts with the great cloud of witnesses from every place and era of the church of Jesus Christ. I commend this book heartily to students, professors, and church leaders.”
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 The High-Definition Leader and be energized to see the kingdom of Christ in all its vivid diversity once again.”

Foreword
“The Life We Never Expected is an honest, confessional, and hopeful book. It doesn’t flinch from telling the whole truth about the trials of parenting special-needs children, and it reminds us of our need for the gospel every day. This isn’t a book that’s going to tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try harder. This is a book for those who are on the floor, weeping, because they need to know Jesus is with them.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The information saturation and attention decay of the present moment can make prayer seem counterintuitive. In this book John Starke shows us how prayer has always been just that, a pull away from the ephemeral into the eternal. This book will show you the way to clearing your attention and your schedule in order to communicate with the One who loves you and holds your life together.”
The Religion of American Greatness
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I can think of no one more qualified to speak to the pressing issue of Christian nationalism than Paul Miller. Despite the bleak subject, this book is full of confidence, conviction, and hope. Liberal democracy matters. The kingdom of God matters more. Those who care about either or both should read this work.”
Christian Living
“If there’s anything pastors and church leaders need in these bewildering days, it’s resilience. In this volume, respected pastor Glenn Packiam shows us the way to resilience in every aspect of life and ministry. If you feel embattled or discouraged or exhausted, you will find words of hope in this book.”

“This book will spur you to read more and will show you how to do it. Wilson knows the difference between being well-read and being holy as she calls us to strive for holiness even in our reading. This book illustrates how good literature can stir the imagination and how the imagination can stir us toward holiness. The voice of this book is not of an English teacher asking if you have done your reading but instead that of a smart and humble friend who says to you: 'Let me introduce you to some friends who know exactly what you're going through right now.'”
Children & Youth
“This book communicates the most important thing in the universe to children with both truth and beauty. Parents will want to read this to their children, and children will want to read the book even when their parents aren’t around. The Sower is a book that will sow seeds of its own, seeds of gospel truth.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I know many people I respect as spiritually mature. I know many people who know politics from the inside out. I don’t know very many who fit both of those categories. Michael Wear does. This book shows a smart, bold, hopeful way forward, paying attention to what Dallas Willard would tell us is the real conspiracy—the inbreaking kingdom of God. If you have never thought spirituality and politics belong in the same sentence, this is the book you must read.”
Arts & Literature
“Praise for The Storied Life Most followers of Christ aren’t called to be writers, but all of us are called to tell the old, old story that’s been handed down to us. In this book, an expert and revered author shows those who write, or who want to write, how the craft fits in that much bigger framework of what it means to bear witness to the story of God in Christ. This book will help you to tell that story, and to live in it.”
Christian Living
“There is no one I would rather read on issues of popular culture than Mike Cosper. This book is not another ‘here’s how you find the gospel in Superman’ project. Cosper analyzes popular culture with depth and with wisdom, seeing both the common grace of conscience all around us and the depths of human sin. As Cosper interacts with popular culture, he models for us how to listen to the voices around us in order that we might engage them with the mission of Christ. This book is about more than the media he analyzes. It is also a training ground for how to pay attention to our neighbors.”
Christian Living
“When we feel crushed by stress, most of us wish we could find practical counsel from a wise, trusted, proven friend who has lived through stress and knows how to thrive in it. This book enables us to get that kind of counsel from one of the most respected Christian leaders of our time. Some books seem to increase stress by promising quick fixes from people who have never been where we are. This book is different. It helps us in seasons of stress to see that we are not alone and equips us to find our way to the other side.”
The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism

Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb
Christian Living
“Insightful, humbling, and worshipful, this book is a necessary call for the church to seek its power in the Spirit, not in the celebrity culture of a lost world. The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb will encourage pastors and church members to look at themselves and their fellowships through the lens of the gospel.”
Christian Living
“Sammy Rhodes is an imaginative, thoughtful, substantive, and funny voice. . . . Few people out there can combine deep wisdom with thoughtful hilarity. Sammy Rhodes does.”
Christian Living
“I don’t know about you, but I run into a lot of Christians who are exhausted, burned out, and demoralized. Maybe you’re one of them. For many, life seems really heavy, and the church sometimes makes it even heavier. I know no one wiser and more equipped to unburden such lives than the author of this book, Vance Pitman, one of the most effective pastors in North America. Vance calls us away from a life driven by rules and regulations and toward a life joined to and enlivened by Jesus Himself. Lay aside some burdens and listen to the joy in this book.”
Arts & Literature
“I learned so much about the artists in Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart that I hadn’t known before—the perseverance and long-suffering of Artemisia Gentileschi and the civil rights advocacy by Norman Rockwell—but it was the way Russ Ramsey personally opened up about the paintings that allowed me to see them better. To read this book is to hover over the shoulder of Picasso, share a drink with Gauguin, and suffer heartbreak with van Gogh. You don’t want it to end. JESSICA HOOTEN WILSON (PhD, Baylor University), the Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University You might be an art expert who can see an entire history in a Rembrandt painting, an amateur who can’t tell the difference between van Gogh and Van Halen, or somewhere in between. In any case, you will find in this book the best kind of education—the kind that doesn’t feel like education at all. In classic Russ Ramsey fashion, the storytelling is gripping and the insights are surprising. After reading this, you will walk into your next museum, or gaze up at the night sky outside it, with very different eyes.”
What Does It Mean to Be a Thoughtful Christian?
Christian Living
“This generation of Christians inhabit cultures that sometimes reject not only biblical revelation about reality, but also the reality of reality itself. The 'Questions for Restless Minds' series poses many of the toughest questions faced by young Christians to some of the world’s foremost Christian thinkers and leaders.”

What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality?
Christian Living
“DeYoung takes on the most pressing issue of our day: whether we will be conformed to the spirit of the age or whether we will follow Christ. Against the sexual revolution and its high priests, DeYoung presents an alternative vision, the ancient wisdom of a Christian sexual ethic. This is the best book on this subject that I have read. Every Christian confronted with these issues, which means every Christian, should read this book. You will finish this book better equipped to preach the gospel, to love the lost, to welcome the wounded, and to stand up for Jesus and his Word.”
