Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Many of us long to pour out our unfiltered protests to God but wonder if it's allowed. Through the psalms of lament, Crying Out to God shows that our cries are not only permitted but invited. With vulnerable storytelling, biblical insight, and thoughtful questions, Wendy Alsup leads readers into the richness and power of lament. This study doesn't just teach—it helps you practice lament as a way to draw near to God. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.”
Christian Living
“This is an important and much-needed book. With boldness and wisdom, Jen thoughtfully unpacks the prevailing cultural lies about what it means to be a woman and beautifully points to the truth of whom God created us to be. Cultural Counterfeits strikes the rare balance of grace and truth and I recommend it to anyone who is tired of the empty promises of this age and is looking for something lasting.”
Christian Living
“I’ve often wished that God would skywrite his will for me, but after reading Demystifying Decision-Making, I see that the process of seeking God is as important as the outcome. This book draws extensively from Scripture and will be a trusted guide to navigate life’s choices, from everyday decisions to life-changing ones. Aimee does not offer a pat formula, but rather a robust framework to help gather and fit together the puzzle pieces in our decisions, drawing closer to the Lord as we do. I will refer to this wonderful book often!”
Apologetics
“Stunningly honest. Brilliantly written. Biblically insightful. The questions Lina asks, as she takes us on her journey of deconstructing and then reconstructing her faith, are our questions as well if we dare to be that vulnerable. If you have ever grappled with suffering, doubt, and disappointment in the Christian life, tempted to abandon Christianity completely, read this book. Fractured Faith will inspire you to trust Christ in the middle of your story and will reignite your faith. Who should read this book? Everyone I know!”
Christian Living
“Tender, refreshing, and thoroughly biblical, God’s Grace in Your Suffering is a cup of cold water for those in the desert of suffering. Writing from the perspective of both a fellow sufferer and a wise counselor, Powlison gently leads us to find God’s goodness, grace, and comforting presence in our pain. We see how God is at work in our trials and can bring gold out of our afflictions. My copy is well marked as I know I will refer to this insightful book again and again!”
Evangelism & Missions
“Have you been longing to share the gospel with your friends and neighbors but have been hesitant to initiate? If so, Joyfully Spreading the Word is the perfect place to begin. We all know that we should evangelize, yet most of us feel guilty that we rarely do it. This winsome collection from various writers reminded me of the daily opportunities I have to share my faith and gives me courage and tools to follow through. These women offer practical examples from everyday life, which makes this book so helpful. Read it—you’ll be stirred afresh to share the best news in the world!”
Reading the Bible Supernaturally
Christian Living
“No book has inspired me to approach Scripture with as much anticipation as Reading the Bible Supernaturally. Read this book at your own risk, for it will ignite your devotional life. You will find yourself actively hunting for treasure in the Bible, looking carefully at each passage, praying and trusting that God himself will open your eyes to see and savor his glory. Don’t let the length of this book fool you; it is clear, accessible, and inspiring. In fact, it is the most practical, passionate, and motivating book on reading the Bible I have ever read. Read it. Apply it. Test it. It will transform your approach to God’s Word.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Is understanding the Ten Commandments necessary under the new covenant? A resounding yes! Thorough, accessible, relevant, and convicting, this book offers the most insightful analysis of the Ten Commandments I’ve ever read, skillfully applying them to our lives today. DeYoung beautifully marries grace and truth, leading the reader to understand the importance of obedience and the cross that makes it possible.”
Christian Living
“'The journey through suffering, while unwanted, can be the road to flourishing—the hard road to glory.' The authors back up that hope-filled statement with stirring testimonies, careful research, and penetrating insight that reveal the mysterious value of suffering. They don't celebrate or explain away our pain; instead, they remind us that God is with us in our trials and that they are never without purpose. After reading When the Journey Hurts, you'll be convinced that, even in life's fiercest storms, God is redeeming what once threatened to undo us.”
