Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In an age when principles and virtues are shrouded by assumptions and distractions, John Kingston rises above the fray and offers a vision for awakening that honors the good of our past while offering hope to the weary in the present. I’ve listened, watched, and admired long enough to say with confidence that this man has a fervent pulse on the heartbeat of America—he too has won, lost, and arisen even stronger. Read his story and pay attention to your heart pounding within.”
Christian Living
“Alan set out to offer an inspiring vision of leadership that is less hurried and more fruitful, less hectic and more joyful—and that he did. With the biblical text as his consistent backdrop, each principle, practice, and suggested reflection creates a unique mosaic for every spiritual leader desirous of living an abundant life.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“An Unhurried Life unearths our idol of efficiency and the incessant struggle to catch up, keep up and stay up with the velocity of our high-energy world. Fadling invites us into a countercultural way of being present to God and one another.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Living in the freedom of an integrated life with God is a refreshing priority. This includes transforming the inner garden of the soul, even the weeds. Thanks to Miller and Cook, we now have in our hands this gentle, transformational journey that leads us graciously into healthy internal boundaries of Spirit-led self-leadership.”
Dr.
Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“It's refreshing to find a book that's authored by a pastor who believes Christlike formation is the central mission of the local church and has discovered ways to place the Scriptures in the middle of an authentic spiritual, formational experience. Pastor Dave Ripper loves and lives Dallas Willard's approach and invites us to do likewise as healthy disciples of Jesus.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The deeply spiritual life is one of release and abandonment, learning how to let go, die to self, and live the abundant life, all within healthy boundaries of love. This is so contrary to the world's way of accumulation, domination, and self-absorption. The ancient fathers and mothers of our faith point us in this direction with humility and grace, and so does Jared Boyd. Reflect deeply and intentionally on the contents herein and watch how your spiritual horizons expand as the freedom of constraint takes root in your soul.”
Gender Roles and the People of God
Women
“In this book, Dr. Alice Mathews harvests a lifetime of serious scholarship and practical ministry experience in the church and academy to make a cogent case—biblical, historical, theological, and practical—for the liberation and employment of the spiritual gifts of all God’s gifted and called people, both women and men. I recommend her work with enthusiasm and confidence and would like to see it in the hands of every seminary student in the country. DR. JOHN JEFFERSON DAVIS, professor of systematic theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary A concise, cogent, and convincing treatment of gender roles for God’s people. Alice Mathews has confidently walked onto the historical turf of biblical theology, looked her opposition straight in the eye, and with grace-filled clarity of heart and mind boldly challenged outdated presuppositions, defended a God-honoring position of gender roles, and walked off the playing field victoriously. I delight in this incredible ezer-kenegdo woman of God.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Learning how to attend responsively to God's invitations leads us into wholeness, freedom and transformation. Thanks for reminding us that Jesus continually invites us to come close, draw near and follow him via these pathways of grace, healing and joy.”

Soul Care in African American Practice

Christian Living
“As a huge proponent of the importance of dreams and an even larger advocate for the ministry of spiritual direction, I quickly became a fan of this terrific book on both topics! Thanks to Beth Booram for writing such an inviting text for all who wish to discern their God-given dreams.”
Children & Youth
“I agree wholeheartedly with Justin Earley's priority of living a God-drenched rule of life. It's truly like a healthy jasmine plant growing up on a trellis of good habits that form and shape us into the image of Christ. The earlier we learn this in life, the better off we will be. In your hands is a counterintuitive vision for today's youth who wish to emit a Christlike fragrance to the world around them.”
The Fellowship of the Suffering
Christian Living
“The Fellowship of the Suffering is not only biblically relevant and historically redemptive, but it's personally restorative, most notably when everything above, beneath, around, or within us seems to be falling apart. We don't realize how much we believe it to be true until we need it the most. With refreshing transparency and spiritual vitality, Paul and Dave invite us to consider our broken lives in the context of the gospel of grace, where the deepest fellowship sets us free to receive and release all of our pain now and ultimately for God's glory.”
The Quest for Gender Equity in Leadership
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I have witnessed first-hand how Jewel Hyun embodies the quest for Biblical equity in leadership in Africa. Her faith-filled ministry in Kenya is a wonder to behold, and transformational to experience. As a result, the book in your hands is filled with Biblical wisdom and practical implications that will stand the test of time.”
Arts & Literature
“Anna Friedrich creatively combines lovely words with evocative images, capturing both the extraordinary and the daily in a full kaleidoscope of emotion. I commend to you the deep reflection she invites all of us to savor herein.”
Christian Living
“Thomas Pfizenmaier has offered a much-needed boost for the life-changing nature of love. In a broken culture, with the church as the best ray of hope, we are left with one response: lean fully into the transformational love found only in the Triune God. With dozens of historical and current companions helping him craft his message, Pfizenmaier ushers us into an accessible primer for the applicable gospel of love.”
