Changing Stories

Evangelism & Missions

“There is plenty of information about refugees today. There are stats, graphs, maps, and charts. As important as those are, stories capture the true essence of what is happening as people are on the move globally. Jairo de Oliveira writes about these stories and reminds us of the humanity amidst the overwhelming numbers.”

Emerging Gospel Movements

Evangelism & Missions

“Movement ministry has already permanently shifted the focus of many in the Great Commission workforce. A good number of these leaders are not Western leaders. They observe the simple yet strategic ways that the gospel moved out in the first few centuries and seek to live that sort of ministry themselves. . . . A book on the topic which is neither critical nor naïve championing has fertile soil in the missiological community right now.”

Is the Commission Still Great?

Evangelism & Missions

“Steve has put into words what many who work in missions leadership have observed but been unable to voice. Namely, mission myths have led to a pandemic of ignorance about the realities and opportunities of mission. In a practical and winsome way, he walks the reader through the shibboleths of our day, ending with a call to join Jesus in the Greatest of Commissions.”

Knowing God to Make Him Known

Evangelism & Missions

“This book distills a philosophy of ministry born from life experience and leadership experience. Ed plants the flag of spirituality in knowing God. In a world rocked by shifting morality, cultural upheaval, and an avalanche of spiritual challenges, this is a much-needed call.”

Mapping Church Missions

Evangelism & Missions

“Many churches have a significant investment in the global Great Commission yet there are few resources specifically designed for the staff who work in this important area. Sharon Hoover has written a great overview of the many unique issues that church missions leaders face.”

Mission on the Move

Evangelism & Missions

“Much of the past discourse on migration has been filtered through a Western prism. This book is different. It features non-Western authors while presenting a positive, forward-looking missiology of immigration. At times it pressed me past my comfort zone in a helpful way. If you are looking for a resource that will shed new insight on immigration and diaspora missiology, this is the book for you.”

The 6 Seasons of Calling

Work, Money & Leadership

“This book was a journey in self-reflection. It was a chance for finding where I am along the path, where I might be headed, and how God has shaped the road on which I find myself. Leadership is often about seeing the bigger picture. Self-leadership, a skill we all need to practice, relies on getting above the fray to see this more expansive view. Brian's book helped me to do this.”

The Ministry Multiplication Cycle

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The enormity of the task ahead requires us to think and act with multiplication as an expectation. Multiplication was what the first-century church experienced. Straightforward and easy to understand, Dr. Bill Jones captures simple yet profound steps toward multiplication.”

When God Feels Far Away

Christian Living

“Who among us has not at times felt that God was distant and far away? In this book you find practical, biblical insight about these very human experiences. Jamie reveals ways to deepen our faith rather than detract from it. This is not a trite set of prescriptions but an unfolding of spiritual truths with application and encouragement.”
