Theology
“Pastor Josh Moody takes us verse-by-verse through Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Along the way, he exposes our tendency toward man-exalting ‘gospels’ and then focuses our attention on the good news that exalts Christ. No Other Gospel is a model of compelling biblical exposition and a timely reminder to the Church of the unchanging good news.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Not often do I come across a book that lands squarely in my heart and covers me with conviction in painful but healing ways. Jeremy Writebol's reflections on pastoring, in light of Jesus’s words for the seven churches in Revelation, are wise, measured, and profound, applying the heart of the gospel to the heart of the pastor.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Tim Challies is a treasure hunter. He has rummaged through the attic of Christian history, he has rediscovered priceless prayers written as poetry, he has dusted them off, and he has now brought them back out for use today. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—men and women who ran the race faithfully through prayer—and with Tim as a guide to deeper devotion to our Lord, we now can join our hearts to theirs, echoing their praises and petitions, giving glory to the same God who saves and sanctifies his people.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This is not just a book about prayer; it's a book about God. It's not only about technique and practice; it's about the majestic God of the universe who bends his ear to listen to his children and who loves to respond. If you read this, you'll not only learn to pray, but you'll also learn more about the One you're praying to.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This work from Dave Harvey provides a way for you to discover your position on the network matrix and to examine each quadrant’s strengths and weaknesses. A book that celebrates virtue and warns against vices, Stronger Together will strengthen partnerships for kingdom advance across the country and around the world.”
Theology
“This worshipful and biblical explanation of the Trinity is a real gift to the church.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“It is encouraging to see a new generation of Christians wrestling with the formative power of habits and rituals. Our patterns of life shape our attitudes and actions more than we may realize. The Common Rule urges us to consider our habits in a new light and to embrace a new way of life in which we self-consciously limit ourselves in order to pursue what is best for us and for our neighbors.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I have long benefited from the work of John Stott because of the way he combines rigorous engagement of the biblical text and careful engagement with the culture of his day. The God's Word for Today series presents Stott at his very best. This series displays his commitment to biblical authority, his zeal for the mission of the church, and his call to faithful witness in the world. Stott's reflections here are a must-read for church leaders today.”
Theology
“Who would have thought that the aseity of God—a doctrine often tucked away in the corners of systematic theology—could awaken such awe and wonder today? Samuel Parkison shows us why this attribute is anything but dusty or dull. Without it, God is not God. With clarity and reverence, Parkison unfolds the significance of divine self-existence, inviting us to behold the glory of the triune God, to pause in contemplation, and to bow in worship.”
The Mission of God and the Witness of the Church
Theology
“Justin Schell provides an excellent overview of mission through the storyline of Scripture. His work reminds us of our identity as a community of witnesses to the work of God in the gospel and gives us a better glimpse of the God whose self-revelation is oriented toward restoring a relationship with his image bearers.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The Reason for Church is one of the most important books of the year. An incisive, insightful analysis of the acids eroding institutional health today, from the heart of a pastor who loves Jesus and his bride and wants to see disciples made and formed in Jesus’s likeness. Brad Edwards is a gift to believers struggling in an era of loneliness.”
Arts & Literature
“For years Jared Wilson has served us with his writing—his ability to arrange words and adorn truth so we experience the good news afresh. Here he points us to the Story that gives shape and significance to all our work. For those who care about the craft of writing, The Storied Life does more than instruct; it inspires.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Visual Word is one of the most exciting projects I've come across in a long time! I found myself engrossed in the visual outlines and imagery, pulling out my Bible to follow along, to see the broad contours of the narratives and logical flow of the arguments. This will become an excellent aid to believers who want to better understand the New Testament.”
Christian Living
“What a book! Each chapter brims with wisdom—drawn from Scripture, steeped in deep reading, and refined through life experience. I found myself not only nourished personally but also earmarking pages to send to family and friends wrestling with major decisions or simply trying to make faithful daily choices. Truly one of the year's best.”
Theology
“What stands out upon reading this classic is how little the questions have changed. Decades later, the debates over Scripture's authority, inspiration, and inerrancy remain with us—as do the subtle ways we sidestep its commands and diminish the centrality of God's Word in our churches. J. I. Packer reintroduces us to the battles of previous generations, warns us about the dead ends, and sends us back to the Word as a lamp to our feet.”
Theology
“In Union with Christ, Todd Billings expounds upon an important New Testament doctrine by exploring its contemporary ramifications in light of careful historical and exegetical reflection. This is a thought-provoking book that will ignite fresh conversations about the nature of our participation in Christ.”
Christian Living
““This book will be life-changing for believers who find themselves wondering what God is doing as spiritual seasons shift, feelings fluctuate, and doubts multiply. Full of sober-minded wisdom, When God Seems Distant shows us God’s work in drawing us near and conforming us to Christ, even—and especially—in seasons of desolation. The truths found here will strengthen you to walk by faith and not by sight.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“In this beautifully designed and illustrated book, Ryan Whitaker Smith serves up a feast of G. K. Chesterton's wit and wisdom for Christmas. Even more, in the devotional reflections, Ryan builds on Chesterton's work with memorable expression and striking insight of his own. A holiday treat!”
