“In a world of blustering, rumpus, platform-infatuated pastors and writers, it is both joy and balm to encounter a pastor who knows the way of beauty (both with sentences and with people). These pages do what good writers and good pastors are supposed to do: open the world’s doors wide, beckon us out, and help us revel in all the wonder and holiness. We need more of these kinds of words in the world.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Goodness, Bronwyn is a courageous writer; guiding us into a conversation where, these days, even angels fear to tread. With hard-won wisdom and deep compassion, these pages invite us to embrace each other’s presence and gifts without shame or fear. We need one another, and we need writers like Bronwyn Lea.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In these pages, we encounter a thing far too rare—a pastor skilled in stringing together artful sentences, writing as a genuine human rather than a religious delegate clinching the script. If we had more stories like this, those of us who wear the stole would have a little more fear and trembling, and more wonder and laughter too.”
Christian Living
“While wine imparts the Spirit’s blessing and joy, we find ways to foolishly misuse the gift and inflict harm. Thankfully, we have Gisela Kreglinger, a wise and generous theologian, to guide us into wholeness and abundance.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“The saints are not finally dead but are our living friends and mentors, alive with us in Christ now. We need their witness and their voice now. Which is why we need this beautiful book, especially with its ultimate aim of leading us into prayer—which is (as every saint insists) our truest work.”
Arts & Literature
“When faith lies flattened by moralism and power-grabbing, when we've lost our shock over the Holy, we need a few poet–priests to step to the fore and give us their fiery, wonderstruck lines. Thank God, that's exactly what's happening here in these pages.”
Resisting the Bonhoeffer Brand
History & Biography
“Bonhoeffer warned against being infatuated with a self-made idea about Christian community but not loving the actual community as it is: gritty and human, complex and wondrous. What a turn then—now we need Marsh to offer the same warnings about how we read Bonhoeffer himself. We like our saints to fit tidy boxes and rubber-stamp our presumptions. Marsh, with his historian’s eye and novelist’s pen, won’t let us make this mistake.”
History & Biography
“It’s not all that uncommon these days to find a story told with unflinching honesty. But to find a story that’s also wise and tender and honors the complexity of every person, even those who’ve harmed us, even ourselves—now that’s a feat. And when the person who’s putting the words to paper truly knows the craft of writing as the alchemy of art and grace, well, then we have a book to cherish. Shattered is a book you’ll cherish.”
Christian Living
“What do you call a book that rattles our comfortable certainties while somehow leaving us sturdier and more joyful, a book that dances in the mysteries without going mushy or cynical, a book that stubbornly insists we find God in the kitchen as much as the cloister? I call this book a paradox. I call it a wonder.”
Christian Living
“We live in a digital age where so little of our life feels rooted to anything physical, things we can touch with our fingers or stub with our toes. We also live in an ambitious age where all of society’s energy prods us to move as fast as we can, as far as we can. Yet, amid all this, here’s Daniel Grothe with the audacity to suggest that it is often more courageous (and more human) to sit tight, stay slow, and go deep. Leave it to someone with a pastor’s heart and a poet’s pen to wake us up and provoke us toward goodness. If Daniel’s got the courage to tell us the truth, then I hope we’ll have the courage to listen.”
Christian Living
“I rarely know what to do with religious statistics and trends, as they typically spell doom and are incapable of capturing the essential factor: God. However, Glenn Packiam, a faithful pastor rooted in Scripture and Spirit, starts in the necessary place: who we are before God and who God is long before us. With Glenn as our trustworthy guide, we can discern how we are to live in this anxious yet hopeful moment.”
Preaching & Worship
“Near the desk where I write words for Sunday’s pulpit sits a volume of Fleming Rutledge’s sermons. She reminds me what exactly it is I’m supposed to be doing whenever I open up the Scriptures to God’s people. Three Hours will sit there as well, prodding me with the scandal and wildness of the Cross, with Good Friday’s terror and hope. This is the Jesus powerful enough to rescue us.”
Christian Living
“Eugene Peterson wrote Traveling Light amid a time of cultural upheaval. This was his Scripture-saturated response to his profound concern for how Christians were growing distrustful of their neighbors, taking on tribal identities, withdrawing from the world's pain, and holding more loyalty to some vision of America than to the kingdom of God. Eugene believed we were consumed by a constricting, heart-gripping fear—and that we were desperate for a fresh encounter with God's liberating freedom. Apparently, Eugene was also writing for us, right now.”
Apologetics
“What we need is a wise, unflustered, generous, and disruptive friend. Brian Zahnd is this kind of friend. Engaging wounds inflicted by the church, questions haunting the mind, and those aches deep in the soul, Brian writes as one who has truly encountered Jesus, even while wrestling in the dark. Brian writes with the curiosity and daring of one who has learned to trust the long lyric of love.”
