For a New Generation

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Over 90 percent of American churches are either declining or growing more slowly than the community in which they are located. Here is the story of a church that went counter to the norm. Here is the story of a church that started reaching a new generation. Here is the story of a church where the seemingly impossible became possible in God’s power. Read Lee Kricher’s powerful story of Amplify Church for encouragement and insights. But above all, read it with the prayer that God will do a similar work in your church.”

Leveling the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“"hired hands" to do the work of ministry. Nothing could be further from the biblical truth. I am thankful to God for Leveling the Church by Micah Fries and Jeremy Maxfield. This book provides the needed road map for biblical equipping to take place. Read it. Apply it. Live it.”

Our Christian Hope

Theology

“David Dockery has demonstrated once again that he is one of evangelicalism's gifted theologians. He has articulated the doctrine of eschatology with clarity and conviction. This book is simply an outstanding study of a critical doctrine.”

Pastoring Men

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I commend Pastoring Men to you with enthusiasm. I just wish the book had been available when I was a pastor.”

Pursuing Peace

Christian Living

“In a day when ‘us and them’ seems to be the default presumption with which our society confronts culture, politics, and religion, Robert Jones has provided us a scripturally sound and pragmatic path to follow to experience the peace for which most of us have a God-given desire. While the book may find itself in the syllabus of many Christian counseling classes, it is equally at home in the school of practical theology. Rich with biblical references and connected to practical application, Pursuing Peace will be helpful specifically for those dealing with issues of conflict in any arena of life, and generally for all who wish to gain a clearer understanding of how to interact with others in God-pleasing ways. With uncanny insights and sharp clarity, Dr. Jones addresses and then makes sense of normal, everyday conflicts and how they should be handled so that full resolution might be experienced. This book is indeed a helpful contribution to the culture of our day.”

Reviving the Remnant

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Reviving the Remnant is a powerful and timely call to weary pastors and lay leaders who still believe God can ignite revival through the faithful few. With biblical depth, personal vulnerability, and practical hope, David Woolverton reminds us that the Spirit often breathes fire into flickering embers—not celebrity stages. This book is a sacred spark for anyone daring to say ‘yes’ to God again.”

Stop Trying

Christian Living

“What if we stopped trying so hard to please others? What if we discovered the way to find the joy and peace that comes from discovering our identity in Christ? In Stop Trying, Cary Schmidt does a masterful job of showing the transformation of the followers of Jesus so we might understand the path for our transformation as well.”

The Mythical Leader

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The next sentence is cliché. This book is the book I have wanted on leadership. It may be cliché, but it’s true. Ron Edmondson is one of the best to bless us with a book on leadership myths. He absolutely nails it. Read this book to become a better leader. Read this book to become a better person.”

The Post-Church Christian

Church Leadership & Ministry

“If the church is to reclaim a credible voice in our culture, the world's largest generations (the boomers and Millennials) will have to learn to work together. Paul and Carson Nyquist, father and son, have begun a conversation I pray will continue around your dinner table, your local coffee shop, and your pulpit for years to come. May God raise up a new generation of leaders even greater than the last.”

The Prodigal Church

Christian Living

“Jared Wilson provides a stern warning against the excesses of pragmatic approaches to church growth while reminding us that if the power of the gospel is not driving our ministries, we may build a crowd, but we are not building a church.”

The Solo Pastor

Christian Living

“I love pastors. I am humbled by the fact that pastors often come to me for advice and wisdom. Now I have a resource that answers so many of their questions. This book is fantastic! There is no doubt that it will be on my shelf as a reference for years to come.”

The Stressless Life

Christian Living

“Vance Pitman is the master of applying biblical truths to the lives and routines of believers. This book, The Stressless Life: Experiencing the Unshakable Presence of God’s Indescribable Peace, meets a huge need at a critical time. So many of us Christians need to grasp how Christ wants us to have the abundant life and not the stressful life. Indeed, this book is one of the most timely tomes I have read in years.”

Unburdened

Christian Living

“This book is gold. Solid gold. It is like breathing a breath of fresh air for the first time after living in a world of pollution all our lives. Unburdened reminds us to stop working so hard, bound by the exhausting and burdensome rules of religion, and instead allow the life of Jesus to take over our own. Thank you, Vance Pitman. Thank you for this refreshment to my soul. Thank you for this book.”

Unimaginable

Christian Living

“This book joins What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? and Who Is This Man? as historical affirmations of the positive effects of the Christian faith. Easy to read and thoroughly documented, Unimaginable shows how the fundamental values humans hold dear are traceable to Christianity. Where we find a rejection of those values we find death, destruction, and despair. Far from being a detriment to the world or the source of all ills, Christianity is foundational to our concepts of freedom, equality, and human dignity.”

What Every Pastor Should Know

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I love pastors. I am humbled by the fact that pastors often come to me for advice and wisdom. Now I have a resource that answers so many of their questions. This book is fantastic! There is no doubt that it will be on my shelf as a reference for years to come. Great work Gary McIntosh and Charles Arn!”
