A Non-Anxious Presence

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Mark Sayers is consistently ten steps ahead of the rest of us, and this book is no exception. I have not read a more insightful analysis of our precise historical moment—its cultural roots, its psychological impact, and its spiritual implications—than I have in these pages. Sayers has gifted us with brilliant insight and understanding that is both honest about our challenges, while also managing to be hearteningly, and realistically, hopeful. I will be recommending this book to every leader I know.”

A Spacious Life

Christian Living

“God created limits, and he called them good. That is the message of this book, and it is an urgent word for our overwhelmed, overextended culture. With tenderness, wisdom, and scriptural insight into our times, Ashley Hales has written a spiritual meal of a book. It is lovely and deep and true, and a long overdue invitation to our souls.”

A Way in the Wilderness

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Me encanta un buen estudio bíblico, y Kirstel ha escrito uno importante. El desierto es para luchar, y Kristel ha diseñado este estudio con ese propósito exacto. Si estás en una temporada desértica y tienes sed de la Palabra de Dios, ¡este es el estudio para ti!”

Beyond Awkward Side Hugs

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Ever since Adam first uttered the accusation ‘It was that woman you gave me,’ the relationship between men and women has been fraught with fractures. For millennia, humanity has swung between legalism and libertinism, and this overcorrection continues in the church today. Thankfully, Bronwyn Lea is offering a far better way. In these pages, Lea navigates the stormy waters of gender and sexuality with wisdom, scriptural insight, balance, conviction, and good humor. This book is a tremendous resource to anyone wanting to imitate the radical way of Jesus, but I especially commend it to leaders in the church. It is a much-needed word for our time.”

Fierce Faith

Christian Living

“deepest, darkest fears so that the rest of us can recognize our own. In Fierce Faith, Alli does this courageous work, naming our fears and providing practical steps to fight them. Packed with truth, this book will not only help you take down your fears, but it will help you feel normal, understood, and empowered for the fight.”

Finding Holy in the Suburbs

Christian Living

“As a suburban dweller myself, I confess I had never given much thought to how my location was shaping my faith. Thankfully, Ashley Hales's book Finding Holy in the Suburbs opened my eyes to both the pitfalls and the possibilities of following Jesus in suburbia. Through a combination of theological depth and simple, practical steps, Hales provides a much-needed path of spiritual formation. I am both humbled and delighted to say I will never look at my community the same again.”

Glorious Weakness

Christian Living

“In her stunning debut, Alia Joy peels the shame from weakness and lights a campfire with the husks, inviting us to gather around and warm our hands. Her vivid, lyrical writing paints a place of solace where longing makes way for belonging and sorrow is a hidden passageway to wonder. I devoured every word. Read this book if you want to believe God is even bigger than you need him to be. There’s room for all of us in this wide circle of hope.”

Here Goes Nothing

Christian Living

“Ordinary obedience to Jesus isn’t glamorous, and it isn’t a formula, which is why I so appreciate Kendra Broekhuis’s message in Here Goes Nothing. Too often, we want something to show for our efforts—a shiny takeaway, or a tidy triumph—which can leave us feeling defeated and alone. Addressing this disconnect, Kendra depicts a more honest picture of faith. Detailing her shortcomings and the lessons born out of them, she invites us into her thirty-day journey of intentional discipleship. Her daily meditations are full of meat but easy to digest, leading readers deeper without weighing them down. This book is ‘not a success story,’ but it is an encouragement and a helpful guide.”

If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry

History & Biography

“Living up to its title, If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry is equal parts comedy, tragedy, coming of age, and coming to faith, all brilliantly bound up into one. . . . If you are looking for real hope and resilience to guide you through life’s hardest trials, this book is also for you.”

In Good Time

Christian Living

“We are living in an abundance of undercooked advice, which is why we so desperately need voices who have done the work, plumbed the depths, and harvested true wisdom to guide us. I can think of no better way to describe the writings of Jen Pollock Michel. If you feel overwhelmed by your pace of life or your schedule feels like a bucking bronco, you will find more than simple, helpful steps in these pages, though they are many! You will also discover tender, theological riches.”

Living the King Jesus Gospel

Discipleship & Christian Education

“You can tell a lot about a teacher by his students, and in this collection of essays—written by pastors and theologians formed by the teaching and character of Scot McKnight—we are gifted with a taste of his legacy in the church, as well as a higher vision of what discipleship can be.”

Para subir hay que bajar

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Yo no conozco a nadie que le importe menos 'las preocupaciones superficiales de esta vida' (Mateo 13:22) que a Marlena Graves. Ella es una voz clamando en nuestra generación, llamándonos a una visión de Cristo que casi ha sido ahogada por el crecimiento del pseudo-cristianismo de la autoayuda. ¿Y qué de este libro? Este libro es su corazón sobre papel. Si quieres sentarte a los pies de una gigante espiritual, y si quieres recordar exactamente a que tipo de libertad Cristo nos llama, no te pierdas este mensaje.”

Raised to Stay

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Sometimes it is hard to love the church. While pain is a normal part of any human relationship, there is something especially disillusioning when it comes at the hands of a Christian. For many of us, this grief raises a difficult question: How do I take the pain seriously without the pain taking me out? Thankfully, this book has the answer. With raw honesty, tender compassion, deep conviction, and unrelenting hope, Natalie Runion speaks the kind of truths you can only hear from someone who ‘gets it.’ This book ministered to me profoundly, and I know it will minister to countless others as well.”

Remaining You While Raising Them

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“As a young mom, I constantly feel crushed by advice. There is always more I could be doing, as social media is ever ready to remind me. For moms of this generation, shame looms large, so when I first opened this book, I was nervous. Thankfully, my fears were instantly relieved. This book is good news for mothers. It is a lighter way to parenting with impact. With her signature wisdom and humor, Alli offers herself as the most generous mentor. I so enjoyed reading this book, and you will too!”

Soul Care to Save Your Life

Christian Living

“Somehow, Manda has written a book that is essentially about confession—the ancient Christian practice of being fully known by God and others—in the most fresh, liberating, and page-turning manner. I cannot recommend this book enough but with one wink of a caution: this is not just a book that you read but a book that reads you.”

Start with Welcome

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“If you are curious what Scripture teaches about how to care for the immigrant and refugee in an incredibly complex world, there is no better place to start than this book.”

Take It Too Far

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“We serve an outrageous God. He is a creative genius, a brilliant visionary, an infinite lover, and an unrelenting strength. We could spend our whole lives plumbing the depths of our Father, but too often we are content to sit on the seashore. Not Jess Connolly. Jess understands that when our vision of God is small, our faith and our lives will be too. In these pages, Jess dares us to lean in and out, further than we ever have before, and just see what God will do. I sincerely hope you will join her.”

The Ballot and the Bible

History & Biography

“What a gift Kaitlyn Schiess is to the church. Somehow, Kaitlyn serves up rigorous academic research with illuminating insight and theologically rich wisdom, all perfectly peppered with wit. And in these pages, she is operating at the height of her powers. The Ballot and the Bible is brilliant and fascinating and about so much more than politics. This book should be required reading for hermeneutics classes, as well as anyone who teaches the Bible.”

The GREAT Morning Revolution

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Tara Beth Leach is a true sage. She speaks with uncommon wisdom and authority, and this book is no exception. If you want to live with more intention and form a habit that cultivates your intimacy with God, I cannot commend to you a more trustworthy guide.”

The Grown Woman's Guide to Online Dating

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“There is so much to love about this book. It’s hilarious, it’s practical, it’s hopeful, it’s wise. But here is what I love most: there are many ‘grown women’ in our churches who are single and looking for companionship (not just the romantic kind!) and guidance, and Margot lovingly offers herself as both. Her words will no doubt help an oft-overlooked group to feel seen, understood, and dignified, and that’s an example we would all do well to follow, no matter our relationship status. I can’t wait to share this book with some of the women in my life!”
