“In Divine Dialogue, my good friend Alemu Beeftu helps us explore 31 questions throughout Scripture, carefully studying the implications of each. Knowing that God does not ask questions out of His own curiosity, we are challenged then to move deeper into theological study, examining our own motives, response, and relationship with Him. I highly recommend this book if you are serious about becoming the kind of leader God desires.”

“days for destruction, I’ve been surprisingly redeemed for God’s service and glory. I love this book! It challenges the next generation of underdog leaders—dreamers who bring a radical approach to changing their world.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“R. York Moore lays out a compelling vision of what it can mean to seek God's will to 'be done on earth as it is in heaven.' God's heart for the poor, the marginalized and the oppressed cannot be denied. His cry for justice rings out loud and clear throughout the Scriptures. In York's words, 'The dream of God includes us--our efforts, our passions and our risks--to establish his dream where it is not.' I'm excited to see authors like York boldly be a voice for the little ones Jesus cares so deeply about!”
Fiction
“This moving story of one family’s struggle with the human cost of following God’s call will resonate profoundly. As is so powerfully illustrated in Of Stillness and Storm, sometimes the sacrifices we make for God can cause others to suffer in ways He never intended. Like Michèle Phoenix, I am an MK and am passionate about protecting children. I urge you to read this gripping cautionary tale, listen for God’s voice, and take to heart what is so close to our Father’s heart—caring for every precious child He has placed in our path.”

Work, Money & Leadership
“I deeply admire John and Greg for not only giving us this thoughtful new perspective on how to truly honor God with our money and possessions, but for also transparently sharing their own journeys of discovery and learning. Rather than just accepting conventional Christian wisdom on this all-important topic (which often amounts to slapping ‘a Christian halo over the American dream’), they share fresh and powerful insights into biblical truth, and then give us practical tools to evaluate our own personal financial picture. But this is not about guilt-tripping us into ever-more-responsible stewardship. Instead, John and Greg illustrate how God is inviting us on a rewarding adventure of faith, to partner with him to fulfill his kingdom, and to grow spiritually in the process. process. Whether you just got your first paycheck or have managed wealth for many years, you need to read this wonderfully inspiring book that challenges us to rethink how our relationship with our money is really affecting our hearts, our world, and our relationship with God.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Few things break God's heart more, and cause the hosts of hell to rejoice more, than conflict among His followers. Conflict in the church is normal, inevitable, and often, necessary—but it doesn't have to end in failure. It's been said that in the Chinese language, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other, opportunity. Conflict truly can be an opportunity for redemption, growth, and transformation. You hold in your hands a very important kingdom book. My friend Mike Hare is well-qualified to prepare church leaders with practical intervention strategies (brought to life by case stories) that enable us to anticipate, analyze, and resolve conflict, moving step-by-step through processes that result in unity and blessing. And even in those instances when a congregation is ultimately unable to prevail, the goal should still be to do the work required for the healing of relationships that allows us to honor God and finish well.”
Christian Living
“In His upside-down Kingdom, God promises we can actually find our life by giving it away to others. What is your God-given passion for serving? What is outside of you and bigger than you that demands your time, talent and treasure? I encourage you to ponder that as you read Jeff's thoughts in Wrecked. The result will be life changing ... and you may be surprised to discover that the life changed could be yours.”
