Stephen A. Seamands
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“We will never know intimacy with God or truly understand ourselves without entering into silence. That’s why this book is so significant. Having discovered the life-changing power of silence herself, Jenni Ho-Huan offers us so many wonderful insights she has learned along the way. Read it and you’ll be informed, but above all, inspired to ‘be still and know.’”
In Search of a Confident Faith
Christian Living
“Many books focus on either intellectual or emotional barriers to faith. What makes this one unique is the profound way it combines both. In addition to identifying and helping us remove barriers, it also includes many practical, positive strategies for building our God-confidence. As I read it, I found myself not only being informed, but also being inspired. Often I found myself praying, 'Lord, increase my faith.' I am confident you will too.”
Theology
“This insightful, engaging study of English Protestant theology in the seventeenth century helps us to account for the neglect of the doctrine of the Trinity in modern theology — something from which most Protestant Christians today are still trying to recover. By carefully recounting this largely unknown story, Jason Vickers has filled an important gap in the history of Trinitarian doctrine and made an important contribution to the current Trinitarian renaissance. Yet Invocation and Assent is much more than a historical study. Its greatest value lies in clearly and forcefully reminding us what the ultimate purpose of the doctrine of the Trinity is: not to offer a rational explanation of how God can be three in one, but to enable us — in baptism, worship, formation, and mission — to personally encounter, know, and love the triune God. That's why this book needs to be read not only by academics but by pastors and Christian leaders everywhere.”
Power Encounter in Spiritual Warfare
Evangelism & Missions
“Combining years of missionary experience, expertise in cultural anthropology, and decades of practical involvement in spiritual warfare, Kraft convincingly demonstrates the significance and value of Power Encounter--an aspect of evangelism mission common in Scripture and the ancient church, but scarcely understood or emphasized in the West today. His book . . . will make a significant contribution in the recovery of this crucial lost dimension.”
Christian Living
“Rooted in her seminal work in Christian hospitality, friendship, and community, these splendid essays by former students, colleagues, and friends are a fitting tribute to the profound influence Christine Pohl has had on so many. Above all, they are a testimony to a life in Christ well lived. For no one has embodied what they have believed and taught more graciously and winsomely than Christine.”
Theology
“For those of us shaped by a materialistic Western worldview, Satan Exposed both exposes biases that have distorted our interpretation of Scripture and offers truer understandings that can lead to more fruitful ministry practice.”
The Continuing Relevance of Wesleyan Theology
Theology
“For the past three decades, whether he is writing about a historical figure like John Fletcher or a contemporary theologian such as Wolfhart Pannenberg, Larry Wood's passion and purpose has always remained the same: to deepen and enhance Wesleyan theology both by furthering its own historical self-understanding and broadening its dialogue with contemporary theology, philosophy, and science. These essays-written by friends, colleagues, and former students-are a fitting tribute to Larry because they so clearly reflect his lifelong concern and richly contribute to it. Read them and be both challenged and inspired.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Every pastor and Christian leader needs to read this book--about once a year. It is a much-needed wake-up call to remember what we all so often forget: it's Christ's ministry, not ours, and for his ministry to manifest itself through us, we must first die to ours. Written with clarity and passion, there is much here that is theologically rich, spiritually challenging and practically relevant. The North American church today desperately needs to heed the message of Andrew Purves's book.”
Theology
“Play, it has been said, is the serious business of childhood and of heaven. What’s more, as Brian Edgar convincingly shows, all things, such as work, spirituality, theology, worship, are meant to be infused with play. Indeed, play is rooted in the nature of God, in the perichoresis and playfulness of the Trinity. But not only is his book a profound theological reflection about play; above all, it is a joyful invitation to play and to join with The God who Plays.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Here is a book, clearly and passionately written, that will help us Christian ministers understand, proclaim and teach the meaning and significance of Christ's resurrection as never before. But most important, here is an invitation to build our ministries on their sure foundation: the resurrected ministry of Jesus himself. What a difference that makes! Joining our risen Lord and participating in his ongoing ministry will infuse us with Easter joy and hope.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“No other book is as comprehensive in bringing together so many important elements and dimensions related to the subject. . . . Most books on this subject are written by experienced practitioners directly involved in deliverance ministry. Very few have been written by seminary professors. Pete Bellini is a rare combination of both. He has written an extremely practical, user-friendly book that is easily accessible to any Christian who seeks to engage in deliverance ministry with someone.”
