Bavinck on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“Not one square inch of nature, work, culture, or history escaped the reach of Herman Bavinck’s expansive Christ-centered worldview. Of the great Reformed theologians, Bavinck is the generous giant, with a heart as wide as his axiom ‘grace restores nature.’ Bavinck’s vision of a sovereign Savior at work in the world, carefully grounded in the gospel, suits him to speak authoritatively on the Christian’s place in this world. This book is a masterpiece from John Bolt, a man who knows Bavinck’s mind as well as anyone.”

Between Life and Death

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Some of our weightiest decisions wait until the end. When death draws close, what medical treatments will we embrace or reject? Even Jesus-loving Christians struggle to know how to answer these questions, and we need a seasoned doctor to educate us on the options and their pros and cons. Dr. Butler educates the mind, answers the questions, and takes the imagination on an unforgettable ride, made vivid with the descriptive prose only a gifted writer and experienced trauma surgeon could offer us. This remarkable, Christ-centered book is loaded with reality checks and soul checks, and it will serve Christians and pastors for many years to come as they make these final decisions out of faith and not fear.”

Fierce Convictions

History & Biography

“In the pages of this vibrant biography, Karen Swallow Prior paints a living picture of Hannah More: a modest and imaginative woman with the courage to cultivate biblical femininity and the wisdom to avoid the snares of early feminism. Her story must be retold in every generation. Ours is now covered.”

Growing in Christ

Christian Living

“Growing in Christ is a classic from the pen of the late J. I. Packer. I am happy to see this concise introduction to the Christian faith republished for a new generation. In 64 short readings of about 1,000 words each, Dr. Packer delivers a popular-level overview of the Apostles’ Creed, baptism, conversion, prayer, and the Ten Commandments. The brief readings include biblical references for further study and good questions to awaken personal meditations and to inspire group discussions (as originally intended). Highly commended.”

Pointing to the Pasturelands

Theology

“Years ago I bought access to Christianity Today’s digital archive simply to harvest the best of J. I. Packer’s columns and articles. The painstaking work yielded bushels beyond what I expected—nearly six decades of gold. But if I were a more patient man, I could have just waited for this collection, an indispensable volume for any Packer reader.”

Songs of Suffering

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“My friend Joni lives with pain in her body, a tune in her heart, and a song on her tongue. Her faithful ministry to us all comes through the songs she sings, the great example of what Ephesians 5:19 was meant to look like in us all. I aspire to become what I see in my sister. In her prolonged suffering, she worships her loving Father, to proclaim his greatness to a watching world. Joni is a miracle, a spectacle of grace. Who better to lead us through our most precious hymns for the hardest seasons of life?”

The Deep Things of God

Theology

“When faced with dark riddles about our triune God, I turn to books by Fred Sanders for help with seeing the light of Scripture. In this book, deep questions find careful answers in a living theology that breathes and pulses with joy. As Sanders reminds us, God’s inner life, ‘in the happy land of the Trinity above all worlds, is a livelier life than any other life.’ This readable book on God’s undiluted life is fantastically perceptive, and it’s been made more valuable now in a second edition with additional features for personal study, Bible meditation, group discussion, and real-life application. Like never before, The Deep Things of God invites new travelers to hike into the glorious terrain of this happy land together.”

The Fountain of Life

Theology

“God made you to delight in thinking about him. Grasp that divine purpose, and by grace, you’ll treasure profound little volumes like this exploration of aseity—the breathtaking reality that God exists entirely from himself, an infinite wellspring of love, life, and holiness. This trinitarian self-sufficiency unveils the blazing core of God’s eternal joy in himself, the Father forever generating the Son and breathing forth the Spirit in explosive delight. God’s triune nature ‘is what makes the happy doctrine of aseity happy.’ And because our God needs absolutely nothing, his choice to create and redeem us erupts from pure, unrestrained love. If it is our great and glorious destiny to magnify God by enjoying him forever, then being thunderstruck by the majesty of divine aseity isn’t a distraction to life—it’s the very substance of our God-given purpose, elevating this little book to the level of essential reading in our age of distraction.”

Tim Keller on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“I was eager to open this book to better appreciate Keller’s pastoral legacy and to see how Smethurst would tell the story. I found exactly what I’d hoped for: a wise pastor curating the wisdom of another wise pastor. The result is a treasure—a study about our Father’s love to us, which awakens our love for him and for others. The beautiful fruit of the heart-transforming gospel.”
