Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As followers of Jesus, we are regularly told the Bible is God's personal communication to us. If we are honest, many of us struggle to fully accept this profound truth. Often, we have nagging doubts about whether such extraordinary stories can really be true. It's comforting to know we are not alone. I can personally attest to Susan Lim's scholarship and her deep search for an authentic faith—a faith rooted in the Scriptures. I was struck by both her candor and careful approach. At many points, I was deeply moved, challenged, and comforted. What a gift.”

Seasoned Speech

“In today's toxic communication climate, the apostle Paul's admonition that our speech should 'always be gracious' (Col 4:6) seems impossibly naive. One factor that fuels our skepticism is that we have no models of what gracious persuasion looks like in practical ways. How can we be both gracious and convicted in our communication? We are indebted to James Beitler for offering us vivid examples of Christian communicators—Lewis, Sayers, Bonhoeffer, Tutu, Robinson—who spoke timely truth marked by creativity, passion, and respect. Even if you are familiar with Beitler's subjects, his insights cast them in a new and invigorating light.”

The Offensive Church

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Since becoming the codirector of the Winsome Conviction Project, I've attempted to facilitate civil conversations between Christians. Simply put, race is in its own category. At the mere mention of race, people immediately voice anger, confusion,hurt, and defensiveness. Like no other topic, it shuts down communication and erects walls. What is most needed today is a trusted guide who doesn't shy away from the complexity of race but offers hope and a plan to open lines of communication. I can think of no one better qualified than Bryan Loritts to be our guide.”

The Six Conversations

Christian Living

“As codirector of the Winsome Conviction Project, I've seen many conversations blow up with voices raised and relationships strained, or even severed. I've also seen some amazingly civil and compassionate conversations between people who deeply disagree. What's made the difference? How much we think about not just what we want to say, but how to say it. Dr. Holleman's book is a perfect tool for helping us understand how to develop a loving mindset heading into a conversation and how to maintain it when things get heated.”

Untangling Critical Race Theory

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As codirector of the Winsome Conviction Project, I can assure you there is nothing winsome about our current discussions of race. As soon as Critical Race Theory, white privilege, or systemic racism is uttered, walls go up and voices rise. While many books have been written on race and CRT, Dr. Uszynski—who I've known for over thirty years—is my most trusted source on how to have productive and honest conversations on difficult issues, especially race. Whether you agree or disagree with Dr. Uszynski, his insights will provoke, inspire, and help us communicate and not separate.”
