Church Leadership & Ministry
“"Mark Sayers has a unique and profound ability to understand culture and, in particular, our cultural moment—how we got here, where we are going, and how Christians might seek to live faithfully amid the tectonic shifts of our age. In A Non-Anxious Presence, Sayers casts a vision for pastors and other Christian leaders that allows us to offer hope in a quickly changing and ever-anxious world. Sayers vividly describes the disorienting 'gray zone' we now find ourselves in, as well as helpfully interpreting this cultural shift as a 'wilderness' of testing in which leaders are called to be refined and purified as we seek the presence of God in our world, our churches, and our lives. Sayers is a faithful, studied, and remarkably insightful guide in this time of upheaval and transition, a time where we find ourselves often befuddled and fearful, a time when God is yet at work redeeming all things.”
Apologetics
“With characteristic rigor, clarity, and wit, Ross Douthat makes the case that being religious is, on balance, the most reasonable response to the intelligibility, mystery, joy, and sheer gratuity of existence. In these pages, he elevates our societal discourse about religion in a way that is disarming and helpful. If you are a thoughtful atheist, agnostic, or general skeptic, read this book. Its challenging insights will, at the very least, sharpen your thinking. And if you, like me, are a believer with doubts, surrounded by those who find traditional religious faith preposterous, read this book. It not only will engage your mind and strengthen your convictions but may even lead you into wonder and worship.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The partisanship, point-scoring, bickering, and pettiness that mark Christians' engagement with politics often belies the message of hope offered in Jesus. If we, as a church, do not learn how to seek the good of our neighbor and the broader world without being beholden to a particular political party, we will, however inadvertently, preach a false gospel in our actions and public life. Because of this, reconstructing a political theology that is wise, humane, just, and deeply biblical is the most urgent calling facing the church in America today. The AND Campaign is a leader in this vital work of reconstruction, casting an alternative vision for a politics rooted in faith, hope, and love. In this book, Giboney, Wear, and Butler provide basic tutoring in civics, Scripture, race, justice, and political engagement that will help us, as a church, find a more faithful and truthful way of walking as Christians in this world of political turmoil. I want every church in America to give an ear to these men as they help us walk the way of Jesus as a community and a political people.”

“Far from offering a quietist, self-help approach to curing anxiety, Deep Peace is filled with earthy wisdom that comes from a lifetime of following Christ and pastoring and teaching the church. I recommend it to all who seek to know the God of peace.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In our era of extreme polarization and political partisanship, Justin Giboney's close study of how the historic Black church held together orthodoxy, piety, and social justice is vital and instructive. Giboney moves us past superficial engagements with the high-profile leaders of the movement and acquaints us with lesser known but equally important pastors and activists like Fred Shuttlesworth and Fannie Lou Hamer. This book is required reading for every Christian who wonders how to be courageous and faithful amid the challenges we face in our present moment.”

“In this beautiful meditation, weaving together her experience as an Anglican priest and the pain and hope she's met in her own life, Hannah Miller King helps us understand why the Eucharist has always been central for Christian worship. It is a meal that teaches us to live in the in-between, where joy and sorrow are indissolubly bound together. This is a book that rewards slow and attentive reading and revisiting. Highly recommended!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Boyd's vocation to bridge Christian traditions shines through the pages of this book. He is a Vineyard pastor who loves Ignatius of Loyola, John Cassian, and Saint Benedict. He is a charismatic who cherishes the contemplative tradition of the church. Somehow in his insightful telling, these diverse streams of the Christian faith fit together harmoniously. This book does a great service to the church by showing charismatics and Pentecostals how the constraint that characterizes monastic practice offers joy, flourishing, and faithfulness.”

“For all of us, the Christian life must be embodied and lived in a given place. Even for those of us (like me) who have never lived in the suburbs, Ashley Hales's examination of her own location and context help us explore how we are formed by ourown concrete community and geography. Her honest struggles with the false promises of consumerism, busyness, worship of safety, and other idols of our day will resonate with many, including us city dwellers. This book isn't just about the suburbs; it is about a woman who finds herself in a place she would not have chosen and seeks to learn what the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus bring to bear on her own home, neighborhood, time, money, parenting, friendships, and life in this moment in history. With warmth, humor, and wisdom, she helps her readers—in their own lives and context—to do the same.”

“This wonderful book is a pastoral, homiletical gift to those in need of encouragement. Diagnosing the problem of our era as a failure of hope, Irwyn Ince shares the fruit of his profound meditations, study, and preaching of the book of Hebrews. This is the kind of strong medicine needed to restore hope in a generation that has been disappointed by apathy, injustice, and scandal. He shows us that the hope of the gospel is the secret to joy and endurance. For those who are discouraged, sorrowful, and struggling, this wise book helps us to have eyes to see the beauty of Jesus anew.”
Theology
“I love how Rosolino draws upon the great tradition and ancient sources for the contemporary church. This book is smart and also hilarious, engaging yet challenging. I found myself laughing out loud at moments and pausing in wonder and worship at others. Highly recommended!”
Children & Youth
“We are shaped not primarily though information-gathering but through practices and experiences that work their way into us, forming our appetites and kindling our imaginations. Many of us want to invite our kids into the miracle of knowing God in prayer and through the Scriptures, but we often aren't sure where to start. Imaginative Prayer is a great gift to parents (or godparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone who loves children) because it offers a guide for us grownups to engage our kids with the gospel holistically—not just their minds but also their hearts and imaginations. These prayer exercises are theologically rich yet elegant, even refreshing, in their simplicity. Here is an invitation to wonder, to surprise, to creative engagement with God. Walking through these practices with our kids was delightful and nourishing, not only for our kids but for us parents as well.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Costanzo, Yang, and Soerens have given the American church a tremendous resource with this profound and needed book. Their impassioned call to us is to listen to our brothers and sisters in the Majority World and minority churches in the United States. These authors recognize that White American Christians can no longer act as the dominant partner in missions and theology, but rather we need to adopt a vulnerable and listening posture. This is a must-read for all Christians who long to see renewal in American evangelicalism.”

“As someone who grew up Baptist and has wrestled deeply with questions about infant baptism, I wish I could have read this book years ago. McKnight has given the church an enduring gift—a book that is theologically rich, serious, and steeped in tradition yet accessible and readable. As a mother of young children and as a priest, I will put this book in the hands of many a friend and parishioner. If you are a parent deciding whether to baptize infant children, this book is essential reading.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“In an American Christian context awash in pragmatic—but often reductive—takes on marriage implying that marital intimacy is the best or only way to address loneliness, Moniz points us to a robust, theologically rich, and biblical understanding of intimacy. Amid our epidemic of loneliness, she expertly offers us humane, approachable, and expansive theological resources to broaden our imagination about friendship, love, and the relationships that shape our lives. This book shows how the gospel is good news for relationships and points the way toward greater relational flourishing for us all.”
Christian Living
“In this little book, East teaches about the gospel—he catechizes. But its epistolary format allows what could seem tiresome or didactic to become conversational and approachable. These letters tell the story of Jesus in many ways, from many different angles, and with a lightness of touch. They also convey what it might feel like to be a Christian and to think about the world in light of the story of Jesus. If you are someone who cares about young people or those of any age finding their way in the spiritual life—if you care about future saints—read this book and share it with others.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“This brilliant collection from Rutledge’s sermons leads us into the beauty of the church calendar, in which time itself forms us in the truth of the gospel. That the themes of Rutledge’s sermons naturally lend themselves to the pattern of the liturgical year is a testimony to the depth and range of her theological insight and her profound care for the church. Rutledge is not only a gifted theologian and homilist, but a profoundly gifted wordsmith as well, and her luminous prose gives insight on each page. I will be using this book for my own devotions, and I commend Rutledge’s wisdom to the whole church.”
Arts & Literature
Foreword
“The poems in Now I Lay Me Down to Fight are luminous, honest, heartbreaking, and at moments even funny. They are at once defiant yet surrendered, buoyant yet profound, faithful yet never trite. To read them is to encounter a beautiful and brave soul who invites us into her vulnerability, illness, and mortality through images and stories as human as they are hopeful. I cried reading these verses—no surprise given the subject and my love for the poet. What did surprise me was how much I smiled as well. Katy Hutson has descended into the darkness of cancer and there wrought beauty, goodness, wisdom, and even abundance.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“In this short book, Beth Felker Jones has given us a rich and beautiful gift. Her writing is vivid, comforting, and luminescent. And she masterfully pulls together her daily life and struggles amid a global pandemic and enduring truths from the great tradition of Christian thought. With wide-ranging meditations on anxiety, lament, weakness, death, and hope, Jones invites us into the mystery of God with the clarity of a brilliant theologian and the compassionate heart of a pastor.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Recently, more Protestants and evangelicals are expressing a renewed interest in the idea of living by a rule of life. Paul Gutacker's book gives greater depth and shape to these conversations, first by showing how the Anglican tradition embodies and commends a rule of life, but also by showing how deeply anchored this practice is in Scripture and in Christian history. I recommend this book to anyone interested in how to follow Christ more intentionally in their time, habits, rhythms, and daily life.”
