Warren W. Wiersbe

A Passion for God

History & Biography

“From Moses to Peter and Luther to Spurgeon, even the most gifted and accomplished servants of the Lord have had their blemishes (don't we all?), and we can learn from them. This book introduces us to some of the more private aspects of Dr. Tozer's life and ministry and, while it may disturb some, it should also encourage each of us to examine our own lives and aim for God's best.”

A Quest for Godliness

Christian Living

“Dr. Packer has blended theology, biography, history, and practical exhortation in a book that is a delight to read. But even more, the book speaks to our contemporary church situation and causes us to search our hearts and examine our ministries. Whether you are just getting acquainted with the Puritans or are a long-time friend, A Quest for Godliness will instruct and inspire you. Here is solid spiritual food that contributes to maturity.”

Cultural Change & Your Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This remarkable book comes out of the trenches, not the ivory tower. As a guide for cross-cultural ministry, it is solidly based on Scripture, not the latest fads. You will be educated and motivated by reading this book. I can't recommend it too highly.”

Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“I was only twenty-two years old when I first read Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire. Still, two decades later, I remember the experience I had with God in these pages. Pastor Cymbala’s authentic wisdom beckoned me to a deeper experience with God and a higher expectation of my life in Him. My soul became dissatisfied with mundane Christianity and something that was asleep within me was roused. In short, this book changed my life. That is why I know for a fact that it will change yours. Don’t just read it. Savor every word. If I was asked to suggest one book to every Christian in America, it would be Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire. A gutsy, heart-pounding, faith-rescuing underdog story about a church that should have died but found hope through prayer. This book has been an inspiration to me personally and made me want with all my heart to spread the life-changing gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ. This is an important book for all whose Christianity has become still and sterile. Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire signals that God is at work in our day and that he wishes to be at work in our lives. DR. JOSEPH M. STOWELL The Brooklyn Tabernacle is truly following the example of the New Testament church. This deeply moving book calls churches back to the Word of God and prayer and away from the cheap substitutes that are so popular today.”

Grounded in the Gospel

Christian Living

“At last, a book that tells local churches how to fulfill all of the Great Commission! It’s important that we ‘go’ and that we ‘make disciples,’ but it’s also important that we ‘teach’ new believers and help them grow in the faith. I highly recommend this book to pastors and church leaders who want to encourage Christian intelligence and maturity in their people.”

Haggai, Zechariah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Some commentaries build walls that isolate you back in the ancient world. The NIV Application Commentary builds bridges that make the Bible come alive with meaning for contemporary lift––and the series does so concisely, clearly, and accurately. No wasted words or academic detours––just solid help and practical truth!”

Islam and the Bible

World Religions

“Out of a rich background of biblical studies and missionary service in North Africa, David Goldmann tells us what our Muslim neighbors believe and equips us to be aware, to care and to share our faith.”

Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Born out of experience, based on the Word of God, and applied to real life, this book is just what weary and discouraged pastors and their wives need. And it wouldn't hurt if critical church officers read it too! I highly recommend it.”

Living the Life God Has Planned

Christian Living

“Books about the will of God abound, but this one is especially helpful. It teaches you that knowing the character of God is the basis for understanding and enjoying the will of God. No clever formulas or simplistic procedures in these pages--just solid practical truth from Scripture, truth that transforms life.”

Men of Influence

Men

“This book is a balanced combination of solid biblical principles and fascinating personal experiences. It grips you, instructs you, and excites you about doing what God wants you to do. It makes mentoring an adventure that leads to maturity and service.”

Pastoral Ministry in the Real World

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This excellent guidebook is a winning combination of careful research, personal ministry experience, biblical insight, and a broad understanding of how people are thinking in today’s world. I have read most of the classic manuals on pastoral work and written a few of my own, but Pastoral Ministry in the Real World has elements that are superior to them all. You will especially appreciate the section on Christ’s handling of the conflicts He encountered.”

Persuasive Preaching

Church Leadership & Ministry

“don’t speed-read the pages. Read them carefully, ponder what they say, and see how they relate to your current ideas about preparing and preaching sermons. Dare to be challenged and dare to change or stand your ground. Overstreet remembers the old Youth for Christ slogan: “Geared to the times, anchored to the Rock.” He has done his homework well and you and I are the beneficiaries. Happy reading and happy growing!”

Power in the Pulpit

Preaching & Worship

“This book is an encyclopedia of practical and useful material for the serious preacher, but it reads like a fireside chat. Whether you're in your first church or a seasoned preacher, you'll find both information and inspiration in its pages, the biblical "how" and "why" of effective pulpit ministry. You'll enjoy reading the book and I predict you'll refer to it often.”

Reclaiming Surrendered Ground

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This is one of the clearest and most practical biblical treatments of Christian warfare I've ever read. This is a basic manual for all Christians who want to keep their children from Satanic bondage.”

Shepherding the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Without throwing stones, Joe Stowell analyzes problems insightfully, applies the Scriptures accurately, and encourages God's servants compassionately. Reading this book reminded me of our old Youth for Christ slogan "Geared to the times, but anchored to the Rock."”

Spirit Rising

Christian Living
