“#Churchtoo is a timely resource for Christians and a much-needed contribution to the conversation about sexual ethics in the contemporary Church.”
History & Biography
“I’ve waited a long time for a book about Madeleine L’Engle’s spiritual legacy and A Light So Lovely was entirely worth the wait. In this book, Sarah Arthur explores L’Engle’s wide and generous spirituality with her bestselling books, her lectures, her public work, but wisely also with her relationships and her devoted readers’ (myself among them!) remembrances, all while placing her within the larger narrative of her time and place. A Light So Lovely beautifully and honestly illuminates illuminates one of the most important and creative writers of our time.”

“We need to hear Kelley Nikondeha’s voice these days. Her Adopted will deeply shape your own prophetic imagination and create pathways of belonging in our world. I’ll be recommending this book to everyone.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“What a pastoral, kind, and true book. Emmy is a trustworthy guide, a gentle prophet, and a fellow sojourner for the weary and the wounded. In so many ways, this book will lovingly shepherd the lambs.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Assimilate or Go Home is inconvenient and necessary, hopeful and unflinching, humble and wry; it is as ferocious as love. During this age of the Church when we too often worship worldly obvious success, we need to receive D.L. Mayfield’s ministry of subversive truth-telling.”
Christian Living
“For all of us who have found ourselves sitting in the rubble of our once-certain faith, wondering what in the world to do next, James F. McGrath has helpful ideas. Advising against giving up in despair or rushing to new certainties and fundamentalisms, he invites us to inhabit a faith that works, explores, experiences, and connects. I found this book to be generous, compassionate, and wise. I believe it will be a good companion for all of us interested in rebuilding our faith on the other side of deconstruction.”
History & Biography
“For the many who find themselves evolving in their spirituality in a different way than those they love, it can be a scary, disorienting, isolating experience. Stina's book is a lyrical, honest, moving portrayal of marriage in the time of divergent deconversion and deconstruction. Hopeful without being simplistic, loving without being sentimental, theologically rich without being an answer book, Blessed Are the Nones will be a gift to those reorienting their lives and marriages.”
Christian Living
“I absolutely love this book. Micha is a trustworthy guide to the deepest places of courage, beauty, pain, and grace within us. Each page is a devastating and merciful invitation to transforming love, the kind that changes not only the world but also our own selves. It cleared a path for me to love an inefficient, complicated, beloved life and to want to follow Jesus all over again. A gift, a gift.”
Christian Living
“No offense to anyone else, but I think Alli Worthington might have written this book just for me. I needed Breaking Busy! — but I’m not alone. This book is practical, yes, but it’s also wise and warm, like a good friend who helps us all to find the real way forward into a life less busy and more fulfilling.”

Foreword
“In Defiant, Kelley lays out a feast for us of the truth about biblical womanhood: the resis¬tance, the strength, the civil disobedience, the collaboration, the truth-telling, the drumming, the wit, the holy liberated power of women who know their God.”
Christian Living
“A truly hopeful, practical, humble, real, and empowering book about partnering with God to see the kingdom come. If you want to do good in the world but feel overwhelmed, I’m so happy to hand this book to you with my highest confidence that it will matter in you and through you. I’ve worked with Chris for years now and he’s the real deal.”
Christian Living
“Wise, erudite, loving and tender, Embracing the Body will bring true healing and wholeness to our theology of our physical bodies as a church. Tara Owens is the perfect guide for this holy journey.”
Christian Living
“What a compassionate and pastoral book! As Leslie Schilling dismantles the lies of diet culture in our world and in our churches, she also teaches us God’s good plan for nourishment, embodiment, and even joy in our particular bodies. If you’ve experienced the damaging oppression of diet culture at the intersection of spirituality, this book is a healing must-read.”
Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire
Women
“Some books are all in the head or all in the heart, others are all in the hustle or the habit, but this book is blood and bone and soul. It pulses with energy and heat, with sincerity and goodness, strength and truth. It is beautifully written, sincerely good, authentically lived absolutely, but I also believe it will literally save lives. I cannot wait to press this book into the hands of every woman I know. Jen has never settled for the wide and easy path. She chases after Jesus and redraws the margins as the center of God’s kin-dom but like any true disciple of Jesus, she always leaves a path for us to follow too. A good guide who is worthy of your trust, Jen has offered us more than a map or a guidebook, this is truly a path for transformation, wholeness, and freedom for the sake of the world. I love this book and I love her.”
World Religions
“In this powerful and necessary book, Harper does something truly unique. By telling the story of her own family, she tells the story of America through a deeply Christian lens. As truthful as it is hopeful, this beautifully written book about resistance, healing, memory, place, history, justice, and identity shows how we are all still shaped by the stories we tell. This is a story that will stay with you.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Some of the best people I know are Eights, and I am so grateful for this resource that sees, celebrates, affirms, and blesses them. Sandra brings a much-needed perspective to the Enneagram with this journey. Her words are a gift, not only to Eights but also to those of us who love them.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Nothing has shaped me and my view of God like the experiences of pregnancy, loss, birth, and raising children. Childbirth is more than a metaphor, it's an altar. With this book, Aubry G. Smith has reclaimed childbirth as a profoundly theological and spiritual partnership with our Creator. Holy Labor will set women free, not only to experience an empowered and Christ-centred childbirth, but to encounter the living God in that experience.”
Christian Living
“If Southern gothic theology was a genre of writing, this may be our generation’s undomesticated, spirit-haunted introduction. Poet-prophet-preacher Jonathan Martin has come to us speaking in tongues of fire as a howl and a song from the sea, from life after everything is lost. This gorgeous book is deep water, terrible and beautiful and cleansing; the words smell of salt water and wine, bread and longing, grief and hope. All of us who have ourselves gone under will weep with aching recognition as Jonathan testifies to the loving God who meets us in the chaos and the swirl and monsters to set us utterly free through a rescue that didn’t look at all like we thought it would.”
