A Sojourner's Truth

History & Biography

“Raw, vulnerable, and bold, Natasha Robinson calls the people of God in Christ to honesty, courageous confession, and loving listening. Every Christian needs to read this beautiful and poetic call to restoration, reconciliation, and redemption.”

Being with God

Christian Living

“Sherrill pastorally calls for Christians to disentangle themselves from the loud clamoring of the world by embracing the formational rhythms of Jesus and entering entering into the depths of a gracious, loving, and kind God. AJ not only casts the vision, he also pastorally tells us how to experience the fullness of God.”

Go and Do

Christian Living

“With a robust understanding of the complexities of peacemaking, Shane Blackshear and John Perkins pastorally point us to the alternative way of Jesus by drawing on the richness of Scripture. Shane and John understand that peacemaking is messy and difficult, but readers’ hearts and minds will be nourished and infused with God’s creative and healing imagination for the world. We need this book more than ever.”

Mentor for Life

Discipleship & Christian Education

“In a culture that prides itself on individual strength, growth, and determination, Natasha Robinson invites the reader to imagine the kingdom vision of the Bible—communal strength. . . . Not only does Robinson make a strong biblical and theological case for mentoring and discipleship, she also inspires the reader to implement the models laid out in the book. I personally am excited to see the fruits of this lovely and insightful book.”

Plain Truth for Plain People

Preaching & Worship

“Lean into the pastoral, prophetic, and wise words of the preacher whose sermons unfold in these pages. As you read, open your minds to creative, theologically deep, and edifying sermons. As you are edified, you will also discover a collection of sermons that will enhance and shape your own preaching in a way that edifies your flock in your local church context.”

Preaching to a Divided Nation

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In a polarized and hostile political, racial, and economic context, preaching has become a challenging and delicate pastoral art. With one simple sentence or sound bite, pastors risk unintentionally dividing their flock in a way that harms not only the local church but also the soul of the pastor. Division hurts all of us. Kim and Hoffman provide a theological framework for preaching while also guiding the pastor to remember that we are but heralds, not heart changers. We’ve needed a book like this for a long time now, and it comes just in time. If you want a framework for preaching that leads to reconciliation instead of division, this one’s for you!”

Pursuing God's Presence

Christian Living

“Drink from the deep well of wisdom and grace as you read the pages of this book! Roger Helland pastorally offers a robust biblical vision for seeking, experiencing and hosting the presence of God. Helland’s call for a presence-centered life will nourish the imaginations of the weary and saint alike. This book will soon be a classic.”

Rediscovering Scripture's Vision for Women

Women

“As a woman in ministry and a local church pastor, I have studied what the Bible and scholarship has to say about women in ministry. But after reading Lucy's book, I realized I have only understood the tip of the iceberg. Insightful and inspiring, Lucy offers a fresh and full vision for a woman's role within the body of Christ—a vision that is close to the heart of God and revealed in the pages of the Bible.”

Seven Practices for the Church on Mission

Church Leadership & Ministry

“While missional might seem like a buzzword these days, it’s always been central to the call of the bride of Christ. More than ever this is a conversation that all churches should lean into. David Fitch offers practical ways for ordinary Christians to order their lives to participate in the mission of God. This book removes the intimidation factor and helps readers discover that mission may not be as daunting as they thought.”

Slow Theology

Christian Living

“Ours is an age that prizes quick takes, sharp certainties, and tidy solutions. But faith doesn’t rush. Slow Theology invites us to pause—really pause—to dwell with God in the questions, to make peace with mystery, and to journey through the rugged terrain of belief with resilience and hope. A. J. Swoboda and Nijay Gupta offer not only profound theological insight but also pastoral wisdom shaped by suffering, beauty, and a trust in the slow, redemptive work of God. This book does not shy away from the chaos of our time; instead, it dares to suggest that chaos might be the very compost from which Christlikeness can grow. Every page pulses with grace, truth, and an unflinching belief in the God who never rushes but always redeems. I will be recommending this book to pastors, students, and weary saints everywhere.”

Tempered Resilience

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Tod Bolsinger has written another gift for the church and her pastors and leaders. As the world around us rapidly changes, churches are faced with their own adaptive challenges. The toll that change takes on a leader has the potential to shape the leader for the better. With a pastor's heart and a wealth of experience, Bolsinger tells us how resilient leaders navigate change with grit. Every church leader needs this in their library!”

The Expectation Gap

Christian Living

“Steve Cuss extends a hand to those of us navigating the sometimes-bewildering journey of faith, where the realities of God’s presence and love often seem distant. Through his candid sharing of personal struggles and the breakthroughs that transformed his pastoral ministry, Steve offers not just empathy but practical tools to bridge the gap between our intellectual beliefs and our heart’s experience. His insights challenge the often-unspoken norms within our faith communities, encouraging a journey toward a more authentic, tangible relationship with God. As a fellow traveler on this journey, I believe The Expectation Gap will be a beacon of hope for many, illuminating a path to experiencing the peace, freedom, and love promised in Christ.”
