Finding Quiet

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Finding Quiet is a remarkable book. I am grateful that J. P. Moreland researched the topic of anxiety and depression so deeply and then shared his findings through his own story. His personal vulnerability is both encouraging and convicting. Whether you wrestle with anxiety and depression yourself or know someone who does, this book is full of wisdom and practical steps that make it an invaluable resource.”

Four Views on Christianity and Philosophy

Philosophy

“I’m a big fan of the Counterpoints series by Zondervan. And this is one of my favorites. The expert will find insight and clarification, and the novice will learn the scope of the debate. All will walk away with an appreciation of how important it is to wrestle with the relationship between philosophy and Christianity.”

God's Crime Scene Participant's Guide

Evangelism & Missions

He takes the biggest life questions and provides insightful, provocative answers. I am thrilled and honored to endorse a book that will equip and challenge so many people.”

Happy Lies

Apologetics

“Happy Lies is a wake-up call. I’ve studied New Age for years but was not as aware of how deeply New Thought has infiltrated the church. This book is a huge service for Christians today. I hope you will get a copy, read it, and share it with others.”

Improbable Planet

Apologetics

“Dr. Ross has done it again! With his typical clarity, insight, and precision, Ross shows how recent scientific findings undermine naturalism while simultaneously providing evidence that there is a plan, purpose, and design in the universe. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, you will be challenged and equipped immensely by reading Improbable Planet. I highly recommend it.”

Leading a Church in a Time of Sexual Questioning

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There has been a need for a book like this for a long time. Bruce has wrestled long and hard with questions related to LGBTQ people and the church. With biblical fidelity and a pastoral heart, he addresses the practical and difficult issues churches are facing today. He doesn’t always give easy answers. And you may disagree with him at times, as I do. But I am not aware of any other book that addresses such challenging questions with sensitivity, honesty, and biblical wisdom.”

Light of the Word

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Light of the Word is a wonderful introduction to the Bible. Along with addressing some of the big questions about how the Bible was put together and reasons we have to believe it is true, Susan Lim shares her personal story of leaving Buddhism and becoming a Christian. She also recounts how—years later—she came to embrace the Bible as God's Word. This is a fascinating book that will help readers better engage the Bible.”

Man, Myth, Messiah

Apologetics

“In Man, Myth, Messiah Rice Broocks takes a massive amount of historical research on Jesus and makes it accessible, interesting, and relevant for today. This book will both strengthen the belief of Christians and challenge the unbelief of skeptics. As Broocks demonstrates, Jesus has had more influence on history than any living person. Isn’t it worth wrestling with the question Jesus said matters most: “Who do you say I am?” Man, Myth, Messiah will take you on a journey to explore the historical evidence for the resurrection and the powerful implications that has for your life.”

Mind Your Faith

Apologetics

“This is the book I have been waiting for. Mind Your Faith is a much-needed resource to help young people flourish as followers of Jesus in the university. I wish I had this book before I went to college! I will be personally recommending this to the many students I get to work with every day.”

Moral Choices

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Moral Choices is my go-to book on helping students think through challenging ethical issues. I recently took a group of advanced high school students through it, and they loved it. It is clear, compelling, and biblical. I’m thrilled about this update and am honored to offer it my highest recommendation.”

Moral Choices, Fifth Edition

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Moral Choices is my go-to book for thinking biblically about challenging ethical issues. I have taken a group of advanced high school students through it, and they loved it. And I also turn to it myself when I need clear thinking and in-depth research on the most pressing ethical issues of our day. Thus, it has the rare balance of having both depth and readability. Moral Choices is clear, compelling, and timely. I’m thrilled about the fifth edition and am honored to offer it my highest recommendation for a book of its kind.”

On the Origin of Consciousness

Science & Faith

“In On the Origin of Consciousness, Ventureyra offers a critique of naturalistic explanations for the emergence of mind. Yet he also offers a positive account for how theology can contribute to the quest for a satisfactory account. This book is well-researched, insightful, and an exemplary model for how to integrate scientific, philosophical, and theological questions.”

Person of Interest

Apologetics

“I’ve been studying the historical Jesus for decades, and Detective Wallace made some fresh insights I had not thought of before. Person of Interest is perfect for a skeptic open to considering the evidence for Jesus or for a believer who wants to go deeper in his or her faith.”

Protecting Your Children from Internet Pornography

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This is the best book I have read to help parents and other caring adults protect kids from the harms of pornography. It's research-based, eye-opening, and practical. I will be recommending it for a long time.”

Restoring All Things

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Restoring All Things is an important and timely book. Smith and Stonestreet provide an insightful analysis of contemporary culture as well as practical steps each one of us can take to make a difference right where we are. I pray this book makes the wide and lasting impact it deserves.”

Speaking of Homosexuality

Theology

“Speaking of Homosexuality is one of the most clear and informative books on the subject. Dallas responds to the most common Revisionist arguments with clarity, but also genuine kindness. If you want one book to offer biblical and historical truth about homosexuality, but also how to lovingly put that truth into action, then you won’t find a better book.”

Stand Up, Stand Strong

Children & Youth

“Stand Up, Stand Strong is a clarion call for students today to live out the worldview of Jesus in a countercultural fashion. Sara offers a bold challenge to this generation, and she equips them with the tools to carry it out. I highly recommend it.”
