Growing in Godliness

Children & Youth

“While I have no experience in being a teenage girl, I’ve got a fair bit of experience in raising them. And from the perspective of a father, I can say this book represents exactly the kind of knowledge and wisdom that will serve them well for the few years they are teenagers and for the lifetime beyond.”

Habits of Grace

Christian Living

“There is not a Christian in the world who has mastered the spiritual disciplines. In fact, the more we grow in grace, the more we realize how little we know of hearing from God, speaking to God, and meditating on God. Our maturity reveals our inadequacy. Habits of Grace is a powerful guide to the spiritual disciplines. It offers basic instructions to new believers while bringing fresh encouragement to those who have walked with the Lord for many years. It is a joy to commend it to you.”

How Should We Then Die?

Theology

“Rarely has a book been needed as urgently as this one. Rarely has an author been better qualified to write it. I urge all Christians to prepare themselves to be able to provide a truly biblical response to one of the defining ethical issues of our day.”

Justification

Theology

“There is no doctrine more important to the Christian faith than the doctrine of justification. There is no biblical scholar I’d rather learn this doctrine from than Tom Schreiner. This short book features one of our era’s most prominent theologians concisely explaining the very doctrine upon which the church stands or falls. That is more than enough reason to read this book and benefit from it.”

Lies Men Believe

Men

“It took a long time and some unexpected circumstances for there to be a companion volume to Lies Women Believe, but in God's good and mysterious providence it is here at last. I'm thankful for Robert's efforts in writing a book that so wonderfully complements Nancy's. This book will prove to be both a challenge and a blessing to you.”

Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy

Christian Living

“One of my favorite pastimes is reading the sermons of preachers who have long since gone to their reward. And one of my least favorite realizations along the way has been that few of the churches these preachers once led so well survived much longer. In fact, some of the churches I have attended in my own lifetime—some of the churches where I was once taught so well—have already decayed and been disbanded. In so many cases, it was not false doctrine or false teachers that undermined the church but a simple failure to love—to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. It’s for this reason I’m so grateful for this book and for Jamie Dunlop’s clarion call for you—yes, you!—to pursue unity in your local church. May God use it to convict his people and protect his church.”

Memorizing Scripture

Christian Living

“There are few disciplines Christians want to do more but actually do less than memorizing Scripture. Glenna's book is designed to help. It will motivate you to rediscover this important habit, instruct you on why it will benefit your life and faith, convince you it will foster your joy in the Lord, and help you build and maintain the practice. As we and so many other parents taught our children, it will help you to put the best thing (God's Word) in the best place (your heart) for the best reason (so you might not sin against Him).”

Reactivity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The gospel of Jesus Christ is meant not only to deliver our souls to heaven but also to transform our behavior on earth. And, deeper still, it is meant to transform our desires, our attitudes, and our instincts. It is even meant to transform our reactions and responses to those who oppose us, disagree with us, or sin against us. In this timely book, Paul Tripp calls us to react to the chaos around us in a distinctly Christian way that counters the toxicity that exists deep within our hearts and deep within our culture. If we would heed his call, the world would be blessed, the church would be strengthened, and the Savior would be glorified.”

Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

Theology

“Whether read cover to cover or used as a reference volume, this book belongs in every church library and the collection of every church leader.”

Resurrection Hope and the Death of Death

Christian Living

“‘The topic of resurrection hope is dear to my heart,’ says Mitchell Chase. And so too for me. As I live out my brief life here on earth, as I grapple with sin and temptation, as I endure pain and sickness, as I say farewell to so many I’ve loved and lost, the hope that sustains me—the only hope, really—is the death of death and the promise of resurrection. This wonderful book shows how the entirety of Scripture teaches that those who are in Christ can have every confidence that they will rise to everlasting life and everlasting joy in his presence. That makes this a book of encouragement, a book of blessing, and a book of hope.”

Romans

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that if you understand Paul’s letter to the Romans you understand the Bible. Said otherwise, the person with no knowledge of the rich truths of Romans will necessarily have a weak understanding of the Christian faith. If you wish to know Romans better, and especially to understand it as a cohesive and coherent work of literature, you will benefit tremendously from this book. Andy Naselli is a skilled and trustworthy guide who will lead you deep into the greatest letter ever written. Through it, the Lord will inform your mind, shape your heart, and change your life.”

Songs of Suffering

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Where would we be without hymns? Where would we be without songs to express our sorest griefs and deepest sorrows? I hope you'll allow Joni Eareckson Tada to introduce you to some of the best and most powerful of them all, to explain how they have been a blessing and comfort to her—and to encourage you to get to know them, to commit them to memory, and to sing them before the Lord, so they can be a blessing and comfort to you as well.”

Songs of the Son

Theology

“There is a tremendous benefit to reading the Psalms on their own. But as Daniel Stevens shows so well in Songs of the Son, there are further and fuller treasures to be had as we read them in light of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Focusing on the psalms used by the author of Hebrews, Stevens instructs us in how to read the Psalms in light of the whole Scripture and the whole gospel.”

Spirit-Filled Singing

Christian Living

“I invite every Christian to read this book and, as you read it, to deepen not only your understanding of congregational worship but also your experience of it. May God use this book to help us all bear fruit through the songs we sing!”

The Biggest Story Curriculum, Student Workbook

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I am excited to see the Biggest Story suite of resources continue to grow to now include this student workbook curriculum. Like all the resources that have come before it, it combines beautiful visuals with trustworthy truths. I highly recommend it.”

The Bookends of the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington look at the Christian life through a wide-angle lens, examining the framework that supports, stabilizes and secures the believer's life in Christ. They teach elements of a distinctly biblical worldview, leaning upon the righteousness of Christ on one hand and upon the power of the Holy Spirit on the other. A wise and powerful book, one I heartily recommend.”

The Care of Souls

Christian Living

“One of the best books I’ve ever read on the craft of pastoring. It’s one I gladly recommend to all of those who have been called to be shepherds of God’s sheep.”

The Dawning of Redemption

Theology

“You can’t make sense of a musical if you don’t hear the opening songs; you can’t make sense of a book if you don’t read the opening chapters; you can’t make sense of a trial if you don’t listen to the opening arguments; and in much the same way, you won’t ever make sense of the Bible if you don’t understand the themes of its opening books, the Pentateuch. What my friend Ian does so well in The Dawning of Redemption is introduce the major themes that begin at the beginning and extend all the way to the end. If you’ll read it, you won’t better understand just those five books, but also the sixty-one that follow. You’ll better understand the Pentateuch, to be sure, but also the entire Bible.”

The Dragon and the Stone

Fiction

“Interesting characters and exciting action, vivid locations, and important lessons. This is just the kind of book my children loved to read—and the kind of book I loved to read to them.”

The Heart of Jesus

Christian Living

“This is a sweet and comforting book that will grow your knowledge, provoke your worship, and inspire your devotion. Best of all, it will help you to know, love, and trust our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
