Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The ancient tradition of spiritual pilgrimage reminds us that ordinary places can be holy places. Tracy Balzer takes us to the holy Isle of Iona to find fresh inspiration and meaning in our daily lives. If you want a spiritual pilgrimage that will renew your faith, you don't have to travel far. All you have to do is read this book!”
Arts & Literature
“We are living through one of the most challenging times in modern history. Many have either resorted to a 'gloom and doom' theology or are simply pretending that everything is fine. The artwork of Georges Rouault reminds us that being hopeful doesn't mean that we ignore the realities and challenges around us; rather, it means that we look in the face of our challenging circumstances with a realistic hope that comes from God alone. A Prophet in the Darkness is essential reading for how art can help us find realistic hope that is rooted in the Christian faith.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“One of the greatest needs for the church today is to cultivate an apostolic imagination that is biblically grounded, grace filled, contextually sensitive, and committed to global disciple making. As you read this book, you will be inspired to reimagine what it looks like to join in God's mission to make and multiply disciples in today's multicultural world.”
Christian Living
“In a world filled with distractions, Christians are often people of action but not too often people of contemplation and prayer. This approach ultimately results in stress, depression, and burnout. More than ever, we need to rediscover contemplative prayer that will help sustain us for living in today’s complex and changing world. Being with God is a timely book filled with timeless wisdom for today’s church. Read it, contemplate it, but most of all, practice it!”
Preaching & Worship
“The seasons of the Christian year have been a wonderful discipleship tool that the church has used to celebrate the major events of the life of Jesus and the kingdom of God for centuries. Christmas is my favorite season of the Christian year. I love the colors, sights, and smells of the season. Emily McGowin has written a wonderful book that reminds us of the beauty and the mystery of the virgin birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Many of the books and resources on church planting were written for a different time and a different place in history. If you are looking for a fresh introduction to church planting for today’s world, Church Plantology is that book!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Unleashing creativity in our lives will require us to see the world with the fresh eyes of a child. . . . In Create His Kingdom, Brooke Harris reminds us that we can all share in God’s creativity if we are open to the creative work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.”
Christian Living
“Where have all the peacemakers gone? Todd Hunter is a voice crying in the wilderness, calling the church to rediscover deep peace for an anxious world.”
Dr.
Preaching & Worship
“We live in a crazy and chaotic world where too many people have become burned out and disenchanted with the church. Rather than giving up on the faith, Aaron Damiani has written a book that introduces readers to timeless practices of the church for challenging times. Read it and you will find your faith refreshed and renewed in the ancient rhythms of grace.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Change is all around us. We live in an increasingly post-Christian world where Christianity is no longer the dominant force in our culture. This new context has created one of the greatest missionary moments in the history of the church. More than ever before, we need new contextual churches for an increasingly multicultural, secular, and global context. With thoughtful research, Dr. Lee has written an accessible introduction to a fresh new movement of entrepreneurial church planting in the marketplace. If you want to know what God is doing through this movement and how you can join in, Faith in the Marketplace is a must-read.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Jesus gave the church one commission: to make disciples. Too many Christians don’t know what this means. Discipology challenges and encourages us to rediscover the lost art of disciple-making for the twenty-first century.”
Dr.
Evangelism & Missions
“We are living in the midst of one of the greatest missionary moments in the history of the church, but is the church prepared for it? God is a missionary God, whose mission can be seen throughout the pages of the Bible and history. In Mission as Hospitality, Ed Smither reminds us that God’s mission is hospitable. In doing so, he offers the church a timeless approach to faithfully join in God’s mission today through hospitality that welcomes the stranger and makes room for others. Read it, digest it, use it!”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“We live in a strange world where things like pandemics and global warming seem to be the new norm. If truth be told, many of us don’t know how to pray in times of crisis. In Pandemic Prayers, theologian Beth Felker Jones teaches us how to pray in difficult seasons of life by sharing her own very personal reflections in the form of devotions and rich theological prayers. This book has blessed my life and I pray that it may help you find fresh faith, hope, and healing in these uncertain times.”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“Jesus Christ gave the church one commission, and we are doing very badly at it. Christianity is a disciple-making, multiplication movement. However, for much of the West this has not been the case. The time has come for us to rediscover the lost art of disciple-making. Replicate is a timely and much-needed book that gives the church a clear and practical process to create a disciple-making culture that is unique to each local context. I challenge you to read it and then go make disciples!”
The Enneagram for Spiritual Formation
Christian Living
“There are a number of books on the Enneagram, many of which never really go deep enough to address spiritual formation. I am thankful to finally have one that moves beyond superficiality and calls Christians to personal transformation. This book is a well of wisdom that shows us how knowing ourselves can in fact make us more like Jesus. I highly recommend it to all who are looking for a Christ-centered introduction to the Enneagram that will help deepen their faith.”
Christian Living
“We live in a chaotic world where life is often messy, if not paradoxical. Such paradoxes saturate the Scriptures. In The Sacred Overlap, J.R. Briggs helps us to learn to live and thrive in the tension of the paradoxes of the Christian faith.”
Arts & Literature
“Russ Ramsey is a master storyteller who weaves together the stories of some of the world’s greatest artists, whose lives are marked by both hope and suffering. He reminds us that, although “wonderful and terrible things happen in this world,” the beauty of the gospel is everywhere if we just keep looking.”
