paperbackRewriting Your Broken Story
The Power of an Eternal Perspective
by Kenneth Boa
How do you fix a broken story? In this fallen world, life is often not how we thought it would be. Jobs vanish, relationships crumble, health fails. How do we find the hope to persevere? We can make sense of our broken stories by seeing them in the context of a larger and greater story. Kenneth Boa shows how God can transform our lives with an eternal perspective, when we live with the end in ...

paperbackYour Mind Matters
The Place of the Mind in the Christian Life
IVP Classics
by John Stott
Foreword by Mark A. Noll"Knowledge is indispensable to Christian life and service," writes John Stott. "If we do not use the mind which God has given us, we condemn ourselves to spiritual superficiality." While Christians have had a long heritage of rigorous scholarship and careful thinking, some circles still view the intellect with suspicion or even as contradictory to Christian faith. And many non-Christians are quick ...

paperbackThe Riches of Your Grace
Living in the Book of Common Prayer
by Julie Lane-Gay
An Invitation into God's Grace
As we race to work in the morning, have coffee with a friend, or fall into bed exhausted, we want to feel God's presence, to sink into his grace. Yet too often he feels aloof, absent. Our prayers feel trivial. But as Julie Lane-Gay discovered, the Book of Common Prayer is designed for just this purpose: to root Christians in the riches of God's ...

paperbackThe Politics of Ministry
Navigating Power Dynamics and Negotiating Interests
by Bob Burns, Tasha D. Chapman, and Donald C. Guthrie
Foreword by Steven GarberWe all need help navigating the politics of ministry. "Politics" is often considered a dirty word. It brings to mind lies and manipulation, accusations and scandals. But at its most basic level, politics is simply the everyday activity of getting things done with other people: understanding their interests, recognizing the power dynamics at play, and learning how to negotiate relationships ...

paperbackThe Missional Quest
Becoming a Church of the Long Run
Forge Partnership Books
by Lance Ford and Brad Brisco
Foreword by Ed StetzerWhen Christ calls people, he invites them on a journey—a journey taken together in community. We have reached a point in history, however, when we think of the church as a fixed place where isolated individuals show up, consume a Christian message, drink some coffee, and get on with their lives. The times demand, and the gospel proclaims, that we recover our identity as a church that is a people ...

paperbackCentered-Set Church
Discipleship and Community Without Judgmentalism
by Mark D. Baker
Christians can be adept at drawing lines, determining what it means to be "a good Christian" and judging those who stray out of bounds. Other times they erase all the lines in favor of a vague and inoffensive faith. Both impulses can come from positive intentions, but either can lead to stunted spiritual life and harmful relationships. Is there another option?
The late missionary ...

Restoring the Credibility of Our Witness
by Tara Beth Leach
Outreach Resource of the Year
Something is not right. The witness of the church in North America is eroding. Many Christians are alarmed by the decline in church attendance and seek a culprit. Too often, we point the finger away from the church, make culture the enemy, and build walls between us and others. But our antagonism and enemy-making are ...
