Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Alan Fadling is a seasoned and wise guide who gently points the longing and unsatisfied heart in a different direction than to the frenetic pace and seductive siren songs of our noisy and anxious culture. Each carefully chosen word reflects a gifted artist of the soul whose insights from Holy Scripture along with contemplative voices from the past, as well as his own transparent spiritual journey, bring renewed peace and hope to any weary soul. I highly recommend this book.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Narrowing the perilous Sunday-to-Monday gap may be the most urgent and compelling need for the church in our time. In Agents of Flourishing, Amy Sherman brilliantly presses into the implications and opportunities for organizations and local churches that are embracing a transforming vocational mission for the glory of God and the common good. Sherman's theological rigor and storytelling prowess prompt my imagination to soar and my heart to skip a beat in considering the wide-open door of gospel impact available to the church in our time. This is a book every pastor and Christian leader needs to read. I highly recommend it.”
Preaching & Worship
“While we often speak of the true, the good, and the beautiful forming the contours of the good life, beauty has all too often played second fiddle in our theological imagination, greatly impoverishing the rightful worship of God in our daily lives. Beholding Beauty is a timely, hands-on grace gift for all apprentices of Jesus who long to live a more joyful, integral, and seamless life. I highly recommend it.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Each morning we wake up to an economic world, yet we often fail to grasp the wonder, complexities, and challenges of modern free-market economies. Few writers today are more intellectually robust and fairhanded, while also engaging and accessible, than Greg Forster. Forster’s deep grasp of theology as well as economics brings a rare and welcome historical perspective, helping the reader grasp the rich contours of the past and wisely engage the present realities of a free-market economy. Embracing a gospel centricity, Forster rightly asserts that the gospel demands a new economic life and paves the way for more virtuous economic exchange. Forster’s book is a treasure for all who desire a greater grasp of modern economic thought and its integration with Christian theology. I highly recommend it.”
Work, Money & Leadership

Drawing from the ancient wisdom of the biblical story, common cultural distortions and soul-suffocating clutter are carefully and gracefully swept away. A clarifying vision emerges, guiding us to embrace the life-giving rhythms of a seamless way of living into our daily work. Whether you enjoy your work or are struggling with it, this well-crafted and practical book will help you discover how faith shapes and brings meaning to your Monday world. I recommend it.”
Christian Living
“From the invigorating depths of theological reflection as well as personal life experience as a stay-at-home mom, Courtney Reissig opens our minds and captures our hearts to the messy grandeur of noncompensatory work.

Whether you are presently a stay-at-home mom or your workplace is outside the home, Glory in the Ordinary will help you better connect Sunday to Monday with a more integral, coherent, and seamless gospel faith. This is a book that needed to be written, one I have been waiting for. I highly recommend it.”

“Skillfully weaving the beautiful threads of a robust biblical theology with down-to-earth, practical wisdom, God Loves Your Work persuasively narrows the perilous Sunday-to-Monday discipleship gap so prevalent today. . . . Larry Peabody is a wise and seasoned sage to guide you in your Monday world as a faithful and fruitful apprenticeship with Jesus. I highly recommend it!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“With a refreshing depth of biblical, historical, and cultural insight, Greg Forster presents a compelling way forward for the church to rebuild influence in American society. Joy for the World opens up broad vistas of the Spirit-filled life with its transforming power, yet remains wisely tethered to the hopeful realism necessary for living with true joy in a fallen world. This book is tailor-made for every follower of Jesus who desires to embrace an integral and influential gospel-centered faith lived out and embodied in every nook and cranny of life. I highly recommend it.”

Whatever your ecclesial context, I am confident imaginations will be sparked, creativity unleashed, beauty indwelled, and the gathered worship experience wonderfully transformed. Imagine what it would look like if every follower of Jesus was encouraged to bring their work world into their church experience. This excellent book is a great contribution for church leaders and all who love the church to more fully embrace an integral gospel that shapes all of life. I highly recommend it!”

“Utilizing the inviting metaphor of a long and invigorating hike, Packer and Nystrom are unusually gifted and trusted guides—not only for experiencing more delightful prayer but also for living a truly formative and flourishing Christian life. As apprentices of Jesus, we are invited to a disciplined and grace-filled journey, one that is well worth the exhilarating climb. I loved this book and highly recommend it!”
The Fellowship of the Suffering
Christian Living
“For many of us who are ushered down the painful path of suffering, we need a fresh reminder that as apprentices of Jesus our suffering is not a senseless dead-end, but rather a welcome mat at the open door of more intimate communion with God and others. The Fellowship of the Suffering lifts the myopic veil from our eyes and puts a hopeful shout in our souls as well as helpful wisdom in our hands. I recommend it.”

Bill's down-to-earth, accessible wisdom is off the charts, and now is available to you through this amazing book. I highly recommend it!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The most perilous leadership land mines are often political ones. Those called to lead the church quickly learn they must not only read the Bible well, they must also read the room well. Utilizing a scholarly bent with practitioner flair, a persuasive case is made that the longevity and fruitfulness of Christian leadership is in good part due to a growing competency in navigating the inevitable political realities any faith community presents. For all who are called to the enterprise of church leadership, The Politics of Ministry is an invaluable guide down the path of greater effectiveness and influence. I highly recommend it.”
Christian Living

The depth and beauty of the poetic words as well as each breathtaking photograph point longing hearts to a God well loved and a life well lived. Steve Garber is a remarkably good man with a rare gift of storytelling. This may be his finest work. I highly recommend it.”

I am deeply grateful that this wisdom is now available in this wonderful book. I highly recommend it.”
Theology
“With an irenic spirit and remarkable wisdom, J. I. Packer soars to rare theological heights while revealing in down-to-earth ways how authentic Christian faith is forever marked and formed by the written Word of God. Reading this truly outstanding book is to delightfully rediscover a buried treasure that has only grown in its great value over time. Truth and Power will not only bring compelling clarity to your mind, but your faith will be fortified, your imagination stretched, and the loves of your heart reordered. A must-read for the thoughtful follower of Jesus.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Jesus calls all who call him Lord to embrace a lifestyle of neighborly love. With humble transparency and helpful practical wisdom, Mark Strong makes a compelling case that loving our neighbor means loving our neighborhood, even when it goes through dramatic demographic and economic change. I believe every Christian leader ought to read this important book, not only for greater understanding in navigating the challenging terrain of a moved neighborhood but also for a fresh vision of God and his redemptive mission of love in the world. I highly recommend it.”
