Christian Living
“John Calvin called the book of Psalms a ‘mirror of the soul.’ The psalmists want us to pray these poems as our own prayer to God. They thus help us articulate our heart to God and they minister to us by drawing us close to him. Josh Moody does a masterful job of leading us through the psalms of ascent in a way that touches and transforms our life.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“There are many commentaries on Jude and 2 Peter, but none like this one. . . . Andrew Mbuvi has written an excellent exposition on these small, but important, biblical books that will not only throw fresh light on the text, but also on our own lives.”
Theology
“Knowing Creation brings together leading Christian thinkers to enrich our understanding of the relationship between Christianity and science. I found myself enlightened and encouraged in my faith and my thinking. I recommend this book with great enthusiasm to a broad readership.”
Women
“Men and women will benefit from reading Carolyn engagingly written book. In Lost Women of the Bible, she brings new insight to the biblical text and rightly expands our idea of what makes a woman godly. I enthusiastically recommend this book.”
Marriage and the Counsel of God
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Marriage is an institution established by God in the Garden of Eden. Thus, a husband and a wife enjoy a relationship made for intimacy, exclusivity, and love. Marriage can also be the crucible of the deepest pain and heartache. God has given us in the Scriptures guidance to nurture our marriages and Michael Eschelbach leads us masterfully through the treasures of God's word in a way that will strengthen the bond we share with our spouse.”

New Explorations in the Lost World of Genesis
Science & Faith
“John Walton has been writing insightfully about the book of Genesis for over twenty-five years. His important reminder that the books of the Bible were not written 'to us' but rather 'for us' underscores the importance of reading the books of the Old Testament in their ancient Near Eastern context. John has helped us do just that for years, and in this new book, he revisits the topics that he has treated earlier on the book of Genesis to give us his most recent and best thinking on that foundational book. I recommend New Explorations in the Lost World of Genesis for all readers of the Bible.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Jesus is at the heart of our faith, and we meet him most clearly in the pages of the New Testament, which also describes the work of the Spirit and the kingdom of God. Robbie Castleman masterfully leads us in a study that introduces us to the glorious teaching of the New Testament, a study that deepens our love and trust in our Savior.”
Theology
“Not Home Yet is a compact and powerful exposition of the Bible’s teaching on earth and God’s mission to it. I have never seen such a clear articulation of the theme of creation and re-creation anywhere. Ian Smith also deftly speaks about the practical ramifications that such a teaching has on our thinking and our actions. I highly recommend this book for all who are serious about understanding this central theme of the Bible.”
Old Testament Theology for Christians
Theology
“John Walton is one of the leading Old Testament scholars of our generation. I am always informed and stimulated in my own thinking whenever I read his work. He is rightly sensitive to the ancient context of the Old Testament as he pursues its continuing significance for our lives as Christians. Old Testament Theology for Christians presents his most wide-ranging analysis yet. I recommend this book enthusiastically to all who want to think seriously about the Old Testament.”
Old Testament Wisdom Literature
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Clear, accessible and insightful. Bartholomew and O'Dowd have teamed up to produce an introduction to the theology of wisdom that will not only inform the readers' minds but encourage their spiritual development as well. Great for classroom use.”
Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?
Science & Faith
“Origins, particularly human origins, continues to be a controversial issue among evangelical Protestants. In Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?, the organizations BioLogos and Reasons to Believe model a respectful interchange of ideas in spite of their significant differences. The result is an intelligent and illuminating discussion of this crucial and timely topic.”
Christian Living
“We hear God’s voice in Scripture when we interpret it correctly. Nothing could be more important. Richard Schultz masterfully guides us away from common mistakes of interpretation and toward a reading that will transform our minds and hearts. This book is must reading for all Christians.”
Perspectives on Our Father Abraham
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Perspectives on Our Father Abraham is a remarkable volume honoring a remarkable and influential teacher and writer. With a focus on Abraham, biblical scholars and clergy present insightful and provocative views that are sure to challenge and inform the readers of this volume. I highly recommend it.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Too often we limit the gospel to one aspect of life. Neil Livingstone walks us through a number of the Bible's powerful portraits of God's work in a way that enriches our life and witness.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Luther is reported to have said that the prophets have a 'strange way of talking.' Anyone who has read Isaiah or Daniel closely knows the truth of these words. Brent Sandy helps us to engage the prophets intelligently and avoid sensationalist readings that take us down a road that obscures God's message. I will recommend this book to all my students.”
Preaching & Worship
“Preaching from the Old Testament is crucial for the church but often neglected. After all, it is difficult to know how the Old Testament relates to the gospel of Christ, which is the heart of the Christian faith. Many pastors struggle with the Old Testament, and seminaries often do an inadequate job preparing their students in this area. For those who need help, Sidney Greidanus is an excellent teacher as he exposits the book of Daniel and carefully guides us to proper preaching of its important message, showing us how it leads us to Jesus Christ.”
Preaching Christ from Leviticus
Preaching & Worship
“Preaching from the Old Testament is crucial for the church but often neglected. After all, it is difficult to know how the Old Testament relates to the gospel of Christ, which is the heart of the Christian faith. . . . For those who need help, Sidney Greidanus is an excellent teacher.”
Preaching & Worship
“I have long admired Sidney Greidanus's writing on preaching from the Old Testament. The Old Testament is often neglected in the pulpit because many think it to be irrelevant to Christians. In this book Greidanus reveals the richness of the Psalms and helps us discover their theological and Christological significance.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Sex is a gift from God, but often it feels like a curse. We are all broken people because of our rebellion, and thus we struggle with sexuality. David Lamb has given us a book that acknowledges acknowledges just how bad we are. Indeed, we are worse than we think we are. But then he reminds us through this brilliant look at biblical stories of brokenness just how big God’s grace is toward us. Once you start reading this book, you won’t be able to put it down.”
