Christian Living
“It’s like meeting Jesus for the first time, all over again! Sometimes the best way to get a fresh new look at Jesus is to go backwards, and Jared Brock invites us on a journey to meet the Jesus with skin on. The one who lived as a Jew, rowed in wooden boats, wore sandals, and slept in the outdoors. The one with real siblings and friends and enemies. The one who cried as a baby, whose voice broke as a teen, and who cried again as his heart broke over the people he loved. Reading this book, I felt like I could smell ancient Israel—and see Jesus in all of his humanity. For those of you who have known Jesus for a long time, or have yet to meet Him, I’d like to invite you to meet a God named Josh.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“For Better or for Kids will inspire—and prod—you to be a real team with your spouse! With humility and humor, Ruth and Patrick share the mistakes they made and the lessons they’ve learned while “loving your spouse with four kids in the house!” In their stories of busyness, unexpected tragedy, and the mundane of everyday parenting, they always come back to one thing: now that you’re parents, your marriage matters more, not less, because other people are counting on you. So cling to each other and get ready for the most exciting ride of your life!”
Christian Living
“Tired of clichés about counting your blessings? Then you'll love this book! It's Not Your Turn throws out those tired, guilt-inducing admonitions to just put on a happy face for Jesus and shows us the surprising, practical—and even fun!—way to wait in God's upside-down kingdom. My soul felt lighter just reading this book—and yours will too!”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“What a breath of fresh air! If you've ever wondered why Christian sexual ethics seem to be limited to 'stay a virgin until you're married and then have lots of sex later,' get ready for Erin Moniz to replace this anemic way of thinking with a robust theology of intimacy. And that theology challenges so much of what we've been taught: that marriage is the pinnacle; that romance is the point; that sex is the center of everything. What would happen if our churches focused less on stressing marriage and more on creating a culture of wholeness, health, and the vulnerability that is intimacy's currency? Erin's vision of churches transformed by real intimacy is both scary and exciting—and I'm ready for it!”

“God took Darlene’s mess and made it beautiful. Now she’s calling other women to follow not her but Jesus as He helps us find peace, joy, and contentment—even in our own messes.”
Men
“Finally, a book that treats men like they can actually be full followers of Jesus! Zachary Wagner doesn't berate men, blame men, or condescend to men. He just tells the truth. The church has told a story of manhood that is toxic and looks nothing like Jesus, and the fruit has been rotten—broken, shame-filled men. Ruined relationships. Shattered women. But it doesn't need to be this way. By rediscovering what Christic manhood looks like, we can aim for emotional wholeness and health, especially in our sexuality. I'm excited to see men and women embrace this message!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Being a woman in the spotlight at church is HARD. Your parenting, your marriage, even your clothes are under the microscope. And Jessica, Stephanie, and Jenna get it. They’re like your funny best friends, cheering you on as you learn to put down the masks you’re hiding behind, embrace authenticity (even if it makes tongues wag!), and find delight in serving God again.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Thank you for this book. We desperately need safe churches, but women can’t create them on their own. We need men to listen, humble themselves, and change—just like Andrew has done in these pages as he has elevated women’s voices. This book will haunt you—and it should. It is the right book at the right time. Don’t just read it. Feel it. Grieve it. And then go and do something about it.”
Christian Living
“beautiful work, reminding us that we can never truly know God until we can face the truth about ourselves. And as we look Aimee full in the face, it’s that much easier to see our own faces too—and long for the day when we all may see him, barefaced, unmasked, face-to-face.”
History & Biography
“This book is a must-read wake-up call for the evangelical church! Yes, it details the heart-wrenching realities that missionary kids all too often experience. But more than that, The Missionary Kids is a thorough, insightful critique of evangelicalism as a whole. As Holly Berkley Fletcher explains in detail how and why missionary kids were made to feel expendable, she helps us see how evangelicalism has gone off track too. And she invites those of us who want to cling to Jesus to a faith that doesn't demand child sacrifice, but instead focuses on flourishing and wholeness. We simply must do better, and this book leads the way.”
Men
“I didn't realize how healing a book like this would be until I read it. The Sex Talk You Never Got brought me to tears--in a good way. As a woman who is constantly trying to convince the wider Christian culture that it is possible for men to look at a woman without objectifying her; that lustfulness is not a synonym for masculinity; that men are capable of deep and intimate relationships, to hear a man say all this is so refreshing. This book is what the church needs. It cuts through the lies that have kept men trapped in addictions and compulsions while being walled off from real relationship, and it points a Jesus-centered picture of what authenticity, peace, and victory look like. Thank you, Sam.”
Theology
“and embrace each other as gifts. May that song of the sexual reformation lead to our dance of celebration!”

“As a Christian woman, I’m often too worried about being nice. Gary Thomas shows us that it’s not about doing what others want but what God wants. Don’t let someone else derail God’s purpose for you! As Gary says, sometimes you have to walk away from something to walk toward what God really wants.”

Men
“I’ve often noticed that sermons on Mother’s Day tend to gush over moms, while on Father’s Day they tell dads to ‘shape up.’ I’ve always thought this strange, but David Murrow’s book explains how common this attitude actually is. The modern church pushes men out of the pews by ignoring their needs and devaluing their stengths. For churches and individuals wondering where all the men have gone, Why Men Hate Going to Church gives us a much-needed diagnosis and a practical prescription to call the church back to effective, relevant ministry to America’s men.”

“beckons us toward peace, purpose, and powerful parenting.”
Women
“A resounding wake-up call to men who want to be allies to women and not just lip-service supporters! Thank you, Todd Korpi, for pointing the way with humility, grace, and humor for what it will look like for men and women to be true partners in the gospel.”
