Church Leadership & Ministry
“Douglas Webster's hard hitting, straight-talking book cuts through the hype and questionable theology of popular church marketing techniques, 'user-friendly' churches and successful pastors. He reminds us that evangelism is more than success, numbers, popularity. It is winning people to Christ and his discipleship.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“A fast-paced, revealing, scholarly-without-being-showy, and pointedly practical book on status and ambition. . . . Servant of All will elevate Craig Hill's status as one of our premier New Testament scholars who writes in service to the church and its leaders.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Scott Daniels has given us a fascinating look at Revelation's seven churches. In the process, he provides us with a unique look at our own church today. A challenging and helpful book.”
Shaping the Prayers of the People
Preaching & Worship
“We do not become or remain Christian without the practice of prayer. . . . In joining Christ in his intercession for the world we boldly expose our needs and the world's hurt to the will of God. We demonstrate our faith that God not only cares but acts; we rise up against injustice and dare to stand at the intersection of human need and divine compassion. Wells and Kocher are faithful guides through the risky practice of intercessory prayer. Their book gets to the heart of the Christian faith in its bold claim that as we shape our prayers, our prayers shape us. Here is a very helpful, practical, vibrantly theological book.”
Apologetics
“Simply Christian is an amazing testimony to the vitality…of the Christian faith—and to the skill of N. T. Wright.”
Evangelism & Missions
“are judgmental! David Capes, in this lively, fresh, biblical, and insightful book helps us to take a good look at ourselves and to look at how we look at others, making us just a bit slower to judge and a great deal more eager to listen, to learn, and to welcome in the name of Christ.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“America’s best pastoral theologian, Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger, gives us a remarkable book on uniquely Christian care for the traumatized. Van Deusen Hunsinger thinks in an exuberantly, unapologetically theological way about trauma, as if God matters when it comes to living with and through trauma. Her book is not only our most practical, useful guide for pastors and other Christian caregivers, but also our finest example of astute psychological research and insights on trauma in conversation with the finest Christian theology.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Mark Koonz has given us just about the finest book we have on thinking like Christians about suicide. With compassion and concision, Mark lets us listen to the testimonies of Scripture, the most insightful theologians, past and present, and contemporary pastors and preachers in order to answer the question, ‘Just what do Christians believe about suicide?’ Preachers will find immediate, insightful help with how to care for and speak with people dealing with suicide. All Christians are sure to receive aid from Mark’s wonderful labor of love.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Pastor Dave Stratton helps the church to find the right words to talk about a subject that’s tough for us to speak about: Jesus! Here’s a practical, concise presentation that will equip today’s Christians to say to the world the most important word the church has to say to the world: Jesus! This book will enable us to say the truth that the world cannot say to itself: Jesus!”

Preaching & Worship
Foreword
“Eschewing modernity’s limp aestheticism, in this encouraging book Mike does his usual sweeping survey of theological literature to produce a loving, bold proclamation that Christian preaching’s beauty is not a set of rhetorical devices whereby we sugarcoat and pretty up a sermon to make it more palatable. No, Mike joins Augustine in joyfully preaching that beautiful is who God is, beauty is the truth about the God who delights in delighting us through faithful preaching.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“It takes great courage, and great faith too, honestly to confront the chief sin of the North American church—racism. We could have no better guides in this journey of faithful confrontation than Tony Campolo and Michael Battle. Here, in black and white, is truth-telling, confession, repentance, and a powerful call to reconciliation. This is the honest yet hopeful gook that the church needs to read now and take to heart.”
Theology
“I loved this rollicking journey to hell and back. Tripp York thinks that we ought to take Satan seriously, as long as we mock, deride, and laugh at him the whole time. Sex, money, power, religion--Satan is mixed up with all of it, and in the funniest ways. This book is hysterically funny, absolutely serious, and deeply Christian. If you have never thought of Mennonites as funny (and who has?), then you need to read Tripp York on Satan!”
Preaching & Worship
“Richard Lischer is a master of words who has been mastered by the Word. With eloquent verbal precision and self-evident love for the homiletical vocation, with cruciform Lutheran theology and gentle Midwestern wit, he recalls us to the chief ends of preaching.”
The Form and Power of Religion
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Felleman takes us Methodists back to the source of the movement in order to move our church forward. She uncovers the distinctive shape of Wesleyan Christianity through a wonderful explication of Wesley's sermons and writings. Then she gives a truly Wesleyan prescription for today's church, whereby we might recover some of the spiritual power our church so desperately needs.”
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Preaching & Worship
“Steven Darsey is a master church musician. Now, in this engaging, theologically well-formed, and very practical book, Darsey gives us pastors and worship leaders the guidance we need to more faithfully and vibrantly lead God's people in worship.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The church is being pushed to go digital, whether we want to or not. In this lively, wonderfully useful book, Caleb Lines suggests that part of the prodding toward digital may be Christ and his determination to embrace all of God’s world. Caleb stresses the importance of churches using digital media for specifically Christian reasons, is honest about the pitfalls and temptations of the digital world, and gives church leaders specific guidance. Caleb even ends with Ten Social Media Commandments for congregations who go digital as a way of being more faithful as God takes us into God’s future.”
Preaching & Worship
“Bill Brosend, a great preacher and teacher of preachers, gives us preachers a most helpful set of questions whereby we can move from the biblical text to faithful, engaging, Christian proclamation. Particularly helpful is Bill’s location of the sermon in its liturgical context, something that makes this very practical book unique.”
