    Mental Illness and the Church's Mission

    by Amy Simpson
    Foreword by Marshall Shelley

    Christianity Today Book Award Winner
    Leadership Journal Book Award

    Mental illness is the sort of thing we don't like to talk about. It doesn't reduce nicely to simple solutions and happy outcomes. So instead, too often we reduce people who are mentally ill to caricatures and ghosts, and simply pretend they don't exist. They do exist, however—statistics ...

    Holy Is the Day

    Living in the Gift of the Present

    by Carolyn Weber

    Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart.

    A Father and Son on Cultivating Lifelong Belief

    by Cameron McAllister and Stuart McAllister
    Foreword by Chris Brooks

    "Please fix my kid." In their work as Christian apologists, father and son Stuart and Cameron McAllister have heard many variations on this theme from concerned parents. It's a sentiment lots of Christian parents can relate to—a deep and fearful sense of their own inadequacy to raise their children in the faith amid a seductive culture that's often hostile to Christianity. In ...
