Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Most writers recognize that writing is more a job than a cry from Heaven. Writing requires a kind of nine-to-five discipline. If it were inspiration alone, writing itself would be its own prayer. . . . The prayers in this book, written by writers of various times and places, are sometimes beautiful, sometimes yearning, sometimes thanksgiving, and sometimes a beating on Heaven's doors. Yet they may be the prayers of all writers in all times.”

Ashamed No More

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“A genuinely important book.”

Flannery O’Connor

Arts & Literature

“This book is both scholarly and easily accessible for the average reader, both interpretive of O'Connor and grittily realistic. Whether O'Connor is taught in areas of higher education, portions of this book ought to be used.”

Lament for a Son

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Wolterstorff inquires as Job inquired. He is honest and utterly resistant to the cheap answers about death: finally, to any answers about death at all. . . He looks, without foolish giddiness or delusion, but in faith, to the day that Death and this death shall be overcome—and he takes his place beside all who suffer. . . A miracle.”

Leap Over a Wall

Christian Living

“Leap Over A Wall brings King David’s life so close to us, each event a devotional experience, each application an experience that walks us step by step to David’s God and ours.”

Living the Message

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“[A] year of days of divine companionship. No voice is wiser nor so deeply convincing.”

Tailings

History & Biography

“Already by the second chapter, this is a book hard to lay aside. Schwehn's prose is liquid and intelligent. It catches your interest immediately and swings you from paragraph to paragraph and chapter to chapter. Her observations never stand still but sweep you forward into her story/memoir. She is a genuine artist.”

The Book of Marriage

“Marriage — forever more than a mere institution' — receives here, from wise minds and faithful souls, the thought and the complexity it deserves, enriching our understanding of this covenant. A book for married, singles, and children alike.”

The Jesus I Never Knew Study Guide

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“In this, The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey is both more personal and more focused on Jesus than perhaps he has ever been before. He remembers the experiences of his childhood church with honest sight and astonishing insight—and then he holds himself and his reader to a true biblical and historical investigation of who this Jesus was (and is) after all. Jesus becomes, under his faithful eye, human and divine and powerfully present, in the text of Scripture and in our lives. It is this progression—from a view of our Lord too narrow for the full promises of the Bible to a presence both broad and blessed—which is the genuine gift of Yancey’s book. I am grateful for the gift.”
