Theology
“Here is a clear, learned, accessible, and profoundly courageous volume that directs the reader to the heart of the faith. In deep conversation with the past and present, McGlasson has his eye on the future and offers here the necessary provisions for the church to move forward in faithfulness and good cheer.”
History & Biography
“William dePrater has written not just a concise history of the Reformation and its continuing influence today but, perhaps more importantly, he has written a very useful book. Pastors who teach a new members class, small groups who study the roots of their own faith, or councils who seek a deeper understanding of the church will find this book an indispensable resource for ministry.”
Theology
“Paul McGlasson's No! is in fact a profound 'Yes!' that affirms Jesus Christ as the center of the gospel's message. The 'No!' that he speaks is aimed at idols that we contrive to avoid the scandalous grace of Jesus Christ. McGlasson sees that it is not the Law or the nation-state or cultural prominence or even one's own faith that saves. To all of that one must say, 'No!' The One who welcomes sinners and eats with them does not make Pharisees but forgiven, free, and joyful saints.”
Preaching & Worship
“In this book Ralph Wood, a layman and teacher of literature, preaches and, by professing the faith in such a lively and life-giving way, reminds us what preaching can be and why this task is so crucial for the church's life and mission in the world. . . Those who preach or who care about preaching will feast on the words and the Word found in this volume.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The church undertakes no more radical witness in the world than when it prays, so John Rogers's book of prayers is a book of great hope. These prayers help us understand the radical nature of God's love and the gracious privilege of voicing our thanks and praise. They will serve as models for the church of the twenty-first century to begin the daring work of prayer.”
