2 Kings

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This outstanding commentary is everything any Bible student or teacher could ask for. It is rooted in rigorous scholarship with further detailed technical discussion in extensive footnotes. It seeks to expound the original author’s pastoral purpose and faithfully explore the implications for today. It deals with the detail of the text whilst simultaneously presenting the big picture. Above all it comes from the careful study of Scripture by a man who both believes that the text of 2 Kings is God’s word for his people today and who has decades of personal experience in local church ministry. Time and again the author cuts to the chase and makes the right calls when it comes to enabling his reader to study and benefit from the message of God in 2 Kings. We have been waiting for this book—and it does not disappoint.”

2 Samuel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Dr. Woodhouse’s customary rigor with the text, combined with acute observation and wide-ranging Biblical and theological reflection, makes this commentary a must-have for any preacher of the book. The commentary does far more than explain the text, it feeds the soul. I could not recommend it more highly.”

Acts: Courageous Witness in a Hostile World

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Howard Brant has lived the book of Acts as few have--immersed on the cutting edge of the global church. His perspective is that of a reflective practitioner whose compass is set to the Word, the Spirit, and the church. Brant works his way through the book explaining and applying the book of Acts with faithfulness and relevance. It is a classic narrative of mission from the margins.”

Being White

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As I read Paula and Doug's thoughtful and provocative book I discerned the presence of yet a third voice, for the very Spirit of God had begun to speak to me through their personal and deep insights. Few Christian 'issue books' integrate as beautifully and thoughtfully the contemporary with the biblical--and the tightly woven movement back and forth was seamless. Paul and Doug live the reality of the book in their personal, family, work and church realms, and this carries the ring of authenticity. I needed this book.”

Crossing Cultures in Scripture

Evangelism & Missions

“This unique book engages us in a fertile dialogue between the double voices of Scripture and culture (worldviews and beliefs, values and behaviors) from Genesis to Revelation. The theoretical aspects are valuable, but Newell has done a singular job to craft a very practical resource for us all—whether we serve primarily within our culture or crossculturally. Pastors will gain new insights for their preaching, missionaries will be encouraged as they apply the book to their own situations, and all of us will be enriched as global citizens of Christ. I recommend this gift without reservation.”

Encountering Theology of Mission

Theology

“Deep gratitude to our three writers for a rich and textured work! It is rooted in Scripture, history, and context; it is challenging yet very readable; it is antiphonal—moving from theology and theory to the highly practical and engaging—with some excellent sidebars and case studies. Although the book will be seen as a text by some, I would highly recommend this book to my global colleagues, the reflective practitioners of mission today.”

Job

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This expository commentary provides everything a preacher is looking for. The ‘big picture’ is kept clear even as technical detail is explained. The text is set in its Biblical context even as the text is unpacked on its own terms. Application is faithful to the book’s Biblical purpose, acutely insightful and contemporary. It is readable, profoundly pastorally helpful, and above all Christ-centered. I could not commend it more highly.”

Kingdom Without Borders

Evangelism & Missions

“Kingdom Without Borders invites us into a magnificent tapestry of the glory of God alive in the peoples and nations of our world. Miriam Adeney weaves the dominant designs of God's global mission with and through countless stories of people and friends. We meet sisters and brothers in Christ in contexts of joy and profound sadness; in China, Latin America, the Islamic and the Buddhist worlds; in the arts and persecution, in the Word and the Spirit. I cannot recommend any book higher than Kingdom Without Borders as the introduction to worshiping the God on mission.”

Knowing Who You Are

Christian Living

“This beautifully written book is full of biblical instruction, historical illustration, and practical wisdom on what it means to be a genuine disciple of Jesus.”

Spiritually Strong

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Strong is that it leads us to a transformed life with an observable difference.”

The Appearing of God Our Savior

Theology

“The Pastoral Epistles are essential for the health of the church of Christ. They are core study material for all church leaders and Christian workers. Churches benefit from every member being familiar with them. This concise study identifies and examines the key theological themes in each letter and thus provides an outstanding resource for any wishing to understand and teach this vital material. I found myself profoundly encouraged by Claire Smith’s work.”

The Gospel at Work

Work, Money & Leadership

“This extraordinarily useful book will be of huge value to many Christians as they think about their work. The Gospel at Work is rooted in thorough and faithful biblical understanding and full of practical application. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to consider seriously how God might use them in and through their work.”

The Poor and Their Possessions

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“By setting Luke’s understanding of ‘the poor’ properly in its Old Testament context, Seccombe enables us to understand so much of Jesus’ teaching about ‘the poor’ as he intended it to be understood—rather than as we, with our own preconceptions, might like to read it. The content of this book will revolutionize our handling of Luke’s Gospel.”

Why Trust the Bible?

Christian Living

“This outstanding book provides a magnificent summary of the evidence in support of the Bible’s historicity. It is well argued, brief, thorough, highly readable, and compelling. I not only recommend it but will also seek to give it to many friends—both believers and skeptics.”
