The Sacred Overlap

Christian Living

“In a day where the world, our culture, and the church are marked by a continual default to division and defensiveness, J.R. Briggs offers us a vision of an interconnected, integrated, and incarnated way of being in the world. In the engaging and entertaining “both/and” character of this book, Briggs helps us to see God and reality in ways that are both deeply inspiring and profoundly uncomfortable, completely biblical and distressingly disruptive, breathtakingly spiritual and shockingly down-to-earth. This book should be read by all those who want to be formed into someone who can personally participate in crossing divides and working for a genuinely restorative common good—and are willing to have their assumptions challenged every step of the way.”

The Scripture Challenge

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Simple. Engaging. Challenging. Life-changing. Lisa Toney is like the best kind of coach, and this book is her clipboard, whistle, and game plan all in one. Part motivational speaker, part skilled teacher, and part faithful companion on the journey, Lisa's Scripture challenge will reignite a deep longing and heartfelt love for God's word permeating every aspect of your life.”

Tried and True

Work, Money & Leadership

“Tried and True offers a hopeful, accessible, and stirring Wesley-shaped vision of Christian leadership rooted in formation rather than performance. Through their formation trellis of surrender, stewardship, and servanthood, Margaret Diddams and Shirley A. Mullen give leaders a wise, countercultural framework for resisting the cult of charisma and leading with integrity amid the many disruptions challenging leaders today. This is the kind of book that can steady a leader's soul and, overtime, reshape the culture they serve.”

What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Even a glance at the table of contents will tell any reader that What Great Leaders Get Right is rich with insights from experienced pastors. It will be a great gift for those who are working on recalibrating ministry during this most disruptive moment. Offering real examples from real leaders from the front lines of ministry, there is winsome encouragement and the wisdom of experience shining through every page. Many will find, in the words of an old hymn, "strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow" in this generous compilation of insights from some of the most effective pastors.”

What Is Jesus Doing?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In a world of rapid and disorienting change, a 'bias-for-action' is often a necessary trait of leaders and ministers. But without deep formation in the activity and character of God, these actions can become, as Thomas Merton once described, 'thecontagion of our own obsessions.' In this thoughtful and accessible collection of essays, Van Driel and colleagues remind us that God's being and action is first, foremost, and primary, and then leads us to discernment and activity that enables us to develop a bias for 'wise action' that honors and embodies God as our first, foremost, and primary task. This is a timely book that will stimulate both good conversation and more reflective action.”
