The New Testament in Color

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The American evangelical church has desperately needed this book, The New Testament in Color. For those of us who value the power and authority of God's Word while aware of the diverse experiences and realities that shape our own culturally unique stories, we have longed for this book. This text reminds us that God is a transcendent God who speaks through a transcendent source, but that God is also God with us, immanent in the Word and also in our lives.”

The Next Worship

Preaching & Worship

“One of most significant challenges for the next era of evangelicalism is developing unity in the worship life of a multicultural Christian community. Sandra Van Opstal recognizes that multicultural worship is a long journey with many bumps along the way—there are no simple and easy answers. In The Next Worship, Sandra puts forth key principles and helpful models that should inspire us to pursue this noble goal. This book may well become the essential text that helps multiethnic churches turn the corner in their worship life.”

The Post-Black and Post-White Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As God moves in the twenty-first century, fresh eyes and fresh voices provide a much-needed fresh perspective. Efrem Smith not only offers a compelling case for this type of leadership, he embodies it.”

The Power of the 72

Evangelism & Missions

“The Power of the 72 is a breath of fresh air. Theological, inspirational, and practical, it injects much-needed life into what unfortunately has become the stale church practice of evangelism. John Teter expresses passion and joy through this text that encourages readers toward a holistic and healthy approach to sharing the power of the gospel message.”

True Story

Apologetics

“True Story invites us into the great narrative of the Scriptures. Grappling with the tough questions, James Choung provides a blueprint that will challenge the unbeliever, the new believer and the longtime church member to discover the fresh and healing message of the gospel. This book calls us to a relevant and real faith that properly redefines the call to evangelism as an ongoing journey toward shalom.”

Undoing Manifest Destiny

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The destructive power of a warped imagination lingers throughout the American story. The lack of awareness about the doctrine of discovery and Manifest Destiny reveals the inability of the church and American society to deal with reality. In this thoroughly researched text, L. Daniel Hawk offers an essential study of American history. With clarity and precision, Hawk exposes the White settler narrative that needs to be dismantled. This text exemplifies the type of truth-telling that is required if the healing that all sides of the narrative desperately need can occur.”

Vintage Saints and Sinners

History & Biography

“There are many times when Christian ministry—particularly activist ministries that pursue the full expression of the kingdom of God in the world—can be an arduous and lonely task. It can feel like we are the first ones to tread this territory. Karen Marsh looks back upon an important spiritual history. She offers important examples and role models who remind us that we are never alone when we pursue the fullness of the kingdom of God. If every activist Christian were to engage in a daily reading of this text and actually put into practice what is offered by these vintage Christians, Christianity could actually serve a healthier witness to the kingdom of God.”

We Mend with Gold

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kristin Lee offers a distinctly Asian American Christian story, but also an authentically American church story. Many Christians exhibit anxiety about the future of the American church. The decline of the church in America is not simply a numerical decline; it is also a moral and theological decline. Unless we heed the prophetic voices of lament and renewal from the margins, the American church could face a bleak future. Lee does not hesitate to offer a prophetic pronouncement in this important and timely work. This book tells the truth of the harm that the church can do, but also the healing that the church can provide.”

Welcoming Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Growing up in a Korean American immigrant church context, I did not hear the name John Perkins all that often. Since those early years, I have made a concerted effort to learn as much as possible about the work of one of the most important American Christian voices of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book provides important insights into the life, testimony, theology and ministry of John Perkins. It is both a work of inspiration and a work of history (reflecting the leanings ofthe dual authors) that must be read by any student or practitioner of social justice ministry. The book provides novices, faithful servants and even the weary laborers the inspiration to persevere in God's kingdom work. John Perkins and Charles Marsh provide for us a view of compassion, mercy and justice ministry that needs to be heeded in the context of a new evangelicalism in North America.”

Where the Cross Meets the Street

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Noel Castellanos not only preaches and teaches on a holistic ministry of evangelism and community development, he embodies it. Noel's story, told through this timely and significant book, will encourage and challenge Christians everywhere to engage in the ministry of the hope of the cross lived out in the street. Through his life story, his ministry, his leadership of CCDA and now through this text, Noel Castellanos offers the possibility of a vibrant Christian faith not contained by the walls of a church building.”

White Awake

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Many evangelicals of color have grown weary of ringing the bell and issuing the clarion call for racial justice. While we do not look for white evangelicals to legitimize or affirm our perspective, it's nice on occasion to know that there are 'woke' white evangelicals out there. It's nice to know that these efforts have not been in vain. Daniel Hill has been my friend and ally for many years. In this book, you will have the chance to hear his story and heart—and learn from a learner.”
