Apologetics
“'Engaging Unbelief' maps a clear strategy for engaging our postmodern world. Chang is an excellent interpreter of Augustine and Aquinas, and his practical analysis of their two major apologetic works should not be missed by any Christian interested in broad cultural influence today. Thoughtful Christians will find much here to fuel and inform their passion for witness.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Allow me to encourage you to read Rick Richardson's Evangelism Outside the Box. For those of you on campus staff, encourage your student leaders to read it as well. Rick does a superb job of helping us to consider what evangelism looks like in our emerging campus cultures. The book is clear and compelling--full of new ideas and energy.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“If you are in your forties or fifties, you may already be thinking of retirement. Bob Buford looks you in the eye and asks “retire from what, to do what?” In an open and engaging way, Game Plan tells us how and why everyone in the middle years of their life needs to change their view of success. Bob’s own story of moving from mere achievement to magnified significance is inspiring, but more important, it is also a good map for those eager to embrace the future. So if you’d like to do what you really want to do for the next thirty years or so, reading Game Plan is a strategic place to start.”

“Bob Buford knows that in life, as in sports, it is important to finish well. What good are great stats in the first half if you come up short at the end? In a way success-minded Americans can understand, Bob gives a locker room pep talk on discovering life’s basics. If you wonder if you have the right game plan for your life, call a time-out and read this book.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Prayer is one of those areas where one model or one mentor just isn't enough. I've never been good at prayer, and mostly blamed my lack of discipline. But Kneeling with Giants is changing all that as I am now experimenting with many more ways to pray--and doing so under the tutelage of some of God's great heroes of faith. Gary Hansen has provided us with a very practical guide drawn from these saints' actual prayer practices. He also supplies wonderful materials at every turn to make the journey rich and expansive. This is a unique and wonderful resource!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Only occasionally does a book come along which will become a steady companion in my own journey of discipleship. Bobby Gross has engagingly written that kind of book. It both points the way to a fuller understanding of God's great story in Christ, and simultaneously provides guidance and tools to help me weave my life into God's story as I enter the steady rhythms of the Christian calendar. I have never seen a book quite like this.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“It seems like there is a lot of talk these days about the 'missional church.' But Kris Norris puts biblical flesh on those bones and helps those of us who want to be real disciples of Christ take the next steps. It's about receiving and entering into a new identity--about falling in love with Christ, Christ's people, and Christ's work in the world. Norris walks us through the book of James and into a pattern for a bolder and more authentic way of living.”
Christian Living
“I've tried so many times to be a better sabbath keeper--but I'm just too busy. And so are my family and friends. We've made a virtue out of being overworked and then rationalizing that as faithfulness. Lynne Baab's book not only called me up short but also called me back to a biblically sound and graciously practical reconsideration of God's gift of sabbath. This is the best book on sabbath that I've seen, and my life is changing after having read it.”
Evangelism & Missions
“This is the book that I've been waiting for in my own teaching. In our technological, postmodern, post-Christendom age we need to hear the call to reengage both a generous spiritual journey and a courageous missional life. Each aspect of formation must rely on the other-and both are the product of the Spirit's clear work in Jesus' followers. My students either think that the church will be renewed by an inward journey or by outward activism. And each group thinks that their way is Jesus' way. Paul Jensen's lucid, scholarly, and empowering book calls us back to a transforming spirituality which nourishes and empowers God's people for the Kingdom mission into which Jesus sent all his followers with grace, love, and power.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Our culture is rapidly changing. And that includes how leaders think, behave and relate to one another across the generational divide in the church. Jimmy Long has done an amazing job in providing practical help in how to navigate the emerging leadership landscape. The younger leaders I work with will wish that every senior leader would read this book with them.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This is not a story for people who like easy answers or quick fixes. But I can testify to the fact that it is a true story. It is the story of a 'man of God' who almost ceased to be one--and whose life was changed forever, by the God whom he nearly abandoned. And it is a story still being written.”
Words and Images that Seep into the Soul
Christian Living
“Phil Noble sees the world through a pastor's and activist's eyes, and is able to translate what he sees into words that richly capture the insights. This is a collection of poems and quotations that must be read slowly. It is surely nutrition for the soul!”
