Book SynopsisThe Sex Thing is an accessible and practical book from Rachel Gardner that will empower Christian parents and youth leaders when talking to youth about sex.Trade ReviewProbably the most important topic the young people in your life are already thinking about hearing about and talking about. In this moment where it’s so vitally important we shape those conversations and create safe spaces they can make sense of the powerful messages they are bombarded with, Rachel has written a fantastic book to guide, equip and provoke your own thinking so you can do the same for theirs. Anyone who ever talks to teens should read this. * Dr Kate Middleton, psychologist, director of the Mind & Soul Foundation *‘The Sex Thing is a much-needed challenge to anyone serving in youth ministry. A timely reminder of the need to intentionally create space for honest, open conversations about sex. With practical advice and examples, and building on years of experience and insightful new research, Rachel helps unpack how we can begin to have healthy conversations with our young people about sex, relationships and intimacy.’ -- Jimmy Dale, National Youth Evangelism Officer‘Rachel Gardner is a brilliant, courageous leader with decades of experience on the frontlines of relational ministry. I’m so glad she has written this important, insightful and ground-breaking book. The Sex Thing shows us how to put Jesus at the centre of conversations about sex with empathy, understanding and grace.’ -- Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer International and Emmaus Rd Church‘This book addresses one of the great blind spots of the church in our time. There seems to be a great hunger amongst leaders and pastors to engage in conversations about spiritual formation, and simultaneously, a great reluctance to engage in conversations about sexual formation. The silence is agony, particularly for the next generation who are looking for guides to help them navigate this incredibly complex cultural moment. We desperately need courageous voices to break the silence … Praise God, Rachel Gardner has broken the silence and exposed the blind spot. When it comes to reimagining conversations with young people about sex, I honestly can’t think of anyone I’d rather sit at the feet of to learn.’ -- Pete Hughes, Lead Pastor at KXC‘This book is everything we need it to be and more. As a church leader and as a mother of two preteens, I’m grateful for Rachel’s honesty, wisdom and challenge for us to leave behind awkward mumblings [about sex] and instead have informed, relevant and real conversations that are so much wider than sex talks of the past. The Sex Thing overflows with beautiful theology, helping us to guide our young people as they grow in their relationship with God and apply what they know about who he is to their lives.’ -- Ali Martin, Soul Survivor Watford‘Rachel is a gift to youth ministry: she is passionate, funny, enthusiastic, and always able to shake things up in a creative and unrestrained way. This book [feels] like you are in a conversation with Rachel about topics that young people long to explore. If you love young people and you want to be empowered to have conversations about sex, relationships, and all the stuff in between, then this is a must-read.’ -- Zeke Rink, Youth Network Associate Pastor, Vineyard Churches‘Over the last decade or so, no subject has felt more challenging - or more blurry - for Christian youth leaders to address than sex. In a culture that is moving so fast, the old principles for guiding young relationships suddenly feel like a poor fit, if indeed they ever did fit at all. The church has been crying out for someone to bring fresh vision, and a perspective that is both holistic and holy to this area… and now here it is. Rachel Gardner is the UK church's trusted voice on sex and relationships and young people; many youth workers like me will feel incredibly grateful that she has chosen to write this vital book.’ -- Martin Saunders, Director, Satellites

Book SynopsisWhat’s the Point of Theology? is a wonderfully accessible exploration of why theology is so important by one of the most renowned Christian theologians in the world.Trade ReviewAlister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style. -- Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of CanterburyBrilliant and lucid as ever, Alister McGrath makes a compelling case that because theology sustains the vision that is at the heart of Christian faith, the church needs its leaders to be not just efficient church-builders, but wise thinkers and teachers, schooled in the rich tradition of Christian theology. -- Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington on 'What's the Point of Theology?'

Book SynopsisWritten by an internationally respected historian and Orthodox believer, Holy Russia? Holy War? is the first book to examine how and why the Russian Church is acting as an accomplice to Putin in his war against Ukraine, and what the Ukraine war's disturbing implications mean for the rest of the world.Trade ReviewThe role of religion in the war in Ukraine is clearly a hugely important dimension of the story, but it has received relatively little attention in our press coverage and political debate; this treatment is an original, and in some areas unexpected, way of shedding light on this critical subject. -- Edward Stourton, journalist and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s The World at OneThe first part of this book is not merely useful, it is an important historical reference. The journalism is compulsive reading, absorbing but ultimately shocking. It describes and sheds light on a situation that has major implications for Christianity and for Christian culture in both the eastern and western churches. But there is, at the conclusion, a heartening codicil, for Katherine Kelaidis provides an account of her own Orthodox faith and provides descriptions of two female saints who have inspired her. The conclusion is therefore an inspiring piece of sensitive spiritual writing; well worth reading on its own account - and a remarkable finale to this critically important work. -- Transforming MinistryA valuable guide to the religious dimensions of the war between Russia and Ukraine - past and present - beautifully delivered in a brisk and lively prose that is bound to engage and inform both specialists and the general public. -- Alexander Kitroeff, Professor Emeritus of History at Haverford College and author of Greek Orthodoxy in AmericaAn informed and incisive response to the war and the crises it has caused. -- Cyril Hovorun, Professor of Ecclesiology, International Relations and Ecumenism, Sankt Ignatios Foundation, Stockholm, SwedenBrings into sharp focus otherwise disparate and often bifurcated dimensions of a complex subject overly simplified in the West. -- John Chryssavgis, theological advisor to the Ecumenical Patriarch and author of Light Through DarknessUnderstanding the present depends on how we see history - and history does not have a single reading. This is a timely, prescient and informative book that helps western observers to look through an Eastern Orthodox lens at current crises. -- Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds, EnglandKelaidis argues persuasively that Russia's war against Ukraine has religious and moral underpinnings with dangerous implications far beyond its borders. She writes evocatively and engagingly to explain the twisted interpretations of history that are motivating both Vladimir Putin and his ecclesiastical accomplice, Patriarch Kirill. -- John A. Jillions, Visiting Professor of Religion and Culture, The Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge, England, and former Chancellor, The Orthodox Church in AmericaA brilliant expose of the transformation of the Russian Orthodox Church into Putin's propaganda machine. -- Sergei Chapnin, Senior Fellow at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center, Fordham University, New York City

Book SynopsisThe later medieval English church is invariably viewed through the lens of the Reformation that transformed it. But in this bold and provocative book historian George Bernard examines it on its own terms, revealing a church with vibrant faith and great energy, but also with weaknesses that reforming bishops worked to overcome. Bernard emphasizes royal control over the church. He examines the challenges facing bishops and clergy, and assesses the depth of lay knowledge and understanding of the teachings of the church, highlighting the practice of pilgrimage. He reconsiders anti-clerical sentiment and the extent and significance of heresy. He shows that the Reformation was not inevitable: the late medieval church was much too full of vitality. But Bernard also argues that alongside that vitality, and often closely linked to it, were vulnerabilities that made the break with Rome and the dissolution of the monasteries possible. The result is a thought-provoking study of a church and societTrade Review"Superbly researched and coherently argued."—Peter Marshall, Literary Review -- Peter Marshall * Literary Review *"Bernard has again achieved what he does best: making us go back to an old problem and start thinking afresh."—Lucy Wooding, Times Higher Education -- Lucy Wooding * Times Higher Education *"England experienced one of the most muddled Reformations in Western Europe and that’s what makes studying it so fascinating and so infuriating. Even the most basic questions remain open: why, when and how quickly did England become a Protestant nation? Bernard has done as much as any historian to bring us closer to nuanced answers and in his latest book he is on particularly fine form."—Jonathan Wright, Catholic Herald -- Jonathan Wright * Catholic Herald *

Book SynopsisTrade Review“David Carr’s brilliant book is a magisterial reinterpretation of the emergence and sustenance of biblical Scripture. It is a pioneering, powerful, and poignant treatment of a traumatized people making sense of a catastrophic world—yet still able to find hope in compassion and endurance in empathy!”—Cornel West“Clear and persuasive, Holy Resilience illuminates the origins of the Bible by bringing the early history of a traumatized people to light. This fascinating and engrossing book peels away the veils of history to teach us about ourselves.”—Mark Epstein, MD, author of The Trauma of Everyday Life "Taking on the entire Christian canon, David Carr courageously and creatively builds upon his established skill as an interpreter of Scripture to provocatively examine the role of trauma in its creation. His striking interdisciplinary exploration is an important accomplishment."—Daniel Smith-Christopher, Loyola Marymount University of Los Angeles"This remarkable book, which reads like a thriller, tells the story of how centuries of catastrophes and traumas shaped ancient Israel of Old Testament times and later Jewish and Christian civilizations. Anyone who wishes to know who we are and where we come from should read this book."— Israel Finkelstein, Tel Aviv University

Book SynopsisA groundbreaking account of the Secret Gospel of Mark, one of the most hotly debated documents in Christian historyTrade Review“A brilliant and compelling book. Systematically, thoughtfully, boldly, The Secret Gospel of Mark sets aside generations of speculation and innuendo. It is difficult to imagine a more expertly researched or more accessible account of this scholarly puzzle.”—Robyn Walsh, University of Miami“In their reexamination of one of the most controversial textual discoveries of the past few generations, Smith and Landau offer a compelling new theory for the text’s origin, as well as a fascinating study of manuscript transmission, libraries, and scholarly culture.”—Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos, Amherst College“Written with the verve, pace, and accuracy of a true-crime story, The Secret Gospel of Mark proposes a new, powerfully persuasive interpretation of this mysterious text—now maybe misplaced, quarantined, or destroyed.”—John Dominic Crossan, DePaul University“Smith and Landau’s Secret Gospel of Mark expertly tackles one of the great modern controversies in biblical studies, along with perhaps the most controversial biblical scholar of the last hundred years. Smith and Landau dive deep into the life and work of Morton Smith and the question of whether he discovered an alternative history of the Gospel of Mark, bringing to light exciting new information and charting a responsible and compelling course through the debate.”—Cavan Concannon, University of Southern California

Book SynopsisA holistic, eye-opening history of one of the most significant turning points in Christianity, The Reformation as Renewal demonstrates that the Reformation was at its core a renewal of evangelical catholicity.In the sixteenth century Rome charged the Reformers with novelty, as if they were heretics departing from the catholic (universal) church. But the Reformers believed they were more catholic than Rome. Distinguishing themselves from Radicals, the Reformers were convinced they were retrieving the faith of the church fathers and the best of the medieval Scholastics. The Reformers saw themselves as faithful stewards of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church preserved across history, and they insisted on a restoration of true worship in their own day.By listening to the Reformers'' own voices, The Reformation as Renewal helps readers explore:The Reformation''s roots in patristic and medieval thought and its response

Book SynopsisHealthy relationships across cultures are possible. Dr. Michelle Reyes takes a close look at the concept of cultural accommodation found in Scripture—and especially in the letter of 1 Corinthians—to redefine how Christians interact with cultural narratives that are different from their own. Christians—whose standard of living is oneness in Christ, whose gospel is radically nonexclusive—should be at the frontlines of justice and of cross-cultural unity. But many of us struggle to reach outside of our own cultural bubbles and form real relationships that move beyond stereotypes and lead to understanding, healing, and solidarity across cultural lines.Why is that? Why is it so difficult to reconcile our call to be united in Christ with a celebration of different cultural expressions? What are the reasons for cultural differences and how do they so often lead to stereotyping, appropriation, gentrification,

Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to be a woman or a man created in the image of God? Many Christians don''t have a good grasp of what their sexuality means. Many women in the church don''t feel like their contributions matter.Why is this?The church is sadly still confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. While secular society talks about sexuality in terms of liberation, many in the church define manhood and womanhood in terms of reductive roles that rob us of the dignity of personhood, created in the image of God.In her poetic, theologically contemplative style, Aimee Byrd invites you to enter the rich treasure trove of the Song of Songs as its lyrics reveal how our very bodies are visible signs that tell us something about our God. This often-ignored biblical book has much to teach us about Christ, his church, man, and woman. And what it teaches us is not a list of roles and hierarchy. It is a love song.As it unfolds throughout the cTrade Review'Aimee Byrd, in The Sexual Reformation, beautifully shows us the need for nothing less than a reformation in how the church understands and discusses sexuality that more fully resonates with the biblical vision. Byrd powerfully calls us to discover a deeper song whereby our embodiment as male and female resonates with the great marriage of heaven and earth made possible through the incarnation and the marriage supper of the lamb.' * Timothy C. Tennent, president, Asbury Theological Seminary *'Beyond revolution, we need a reformation, and Byrd perfectly explains why as she implores readers to question hierarchal roles baked into evangelicalism. Through the oft-overlooked book of Song of Songs, she beckons the church to consider a richer, more robust understanding of the sexes and honor the inherent dignity and embodied personhood of men and women. Her insights will untangle your beliefs about sexuality and reform them for the flourishing of all.' * Tiffany Bluhm, author of Prey Tell: Why We Silence Women Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up *'Byrd contends that we are in need of a more robust theology of sexuality--what does it mean to be man? Woman? Humans in relationship with one another? So much that is written in this category is combative, overly simplistic, or individualistic. Byrd turns to Scripture, specifically the Song of Songs, to ponder these matters anew. She finds there a love canticle that showcases the beauty of unity, individual uniqueness and gifting, and desire at its best. Throughout, Byrd points to the example of the love of God made flesh in Jesus Christ. This book is a great starting place to move beyond old battles stuck in stalemate or tired of fighting.' * Nijay K. Gupta, professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary *'This is a book that will grow your soul. In the midst of albeit important debates about the meaning of masculinity, femininity, authority, and submission, Aimee invites us to rise above and listen--listen to Jesus singing over us, pointing us to redemptive sexuality centered on himself. Instead of viewing each other as rivals for power, let's join in the song--the Song of Songs--and embrace each other as gifts. May that song of the sexual reformation lead to our dance of celebration.' * Sheila Wray Gregoire, author of The Great Sex Rescue *'This isn't your grandfather's talk on sex and gender in the Bible! Aimee Byrd delivers what every Christian needs to consider: the rich tapestry of sexuality interlaced throughout Scripture via the Song of Songs! Byrd's commitment to Scripture as the primary voice on sex liberates her to make unique insights not merely reactive to gender discussions that we've become so used to. Sex (in every sense of the word) matters, but in ways we've often failed to consider. Byrd offers us an easy-to-read and biblically honed theological foray through which we can check ourselves lest we continue to wreck ourselves. Consequently, Scripture's world of thinking springs to life, and our currently muddled conversations about sex clarify.' * Dru Johnson, associate professor of biblical studies, director of the Center for Hebraic Thought *'Viva la reformacion! Aimee Byrd calls us back to Scripture, and to the Song of Songs specifically, as a way of reorienting our fallen views of personhood, sexuality, and Christ's love for his bride. The book is a rich exercise in the Christian imagination, birthed by Scripture, rooted in tradition, and enkindled by the Holy Spirit. Take up and sing!' * Joshua M. McNall, associate professor of pastoral theology, Oklahoma Wesleyan University *'Where liberal scholarship diminishes Christ in the Song of Songs, Aimee Byrd exalts him according to classical exegesis. In conversation with great expositors from Nyssa and Augustine to Spurgeon and Jenson, Byrd challenges captive cultural interpretations, perverse gender discussions, and fallen power dynamics between men and women. Such profound biblical insights demonstrate why the Bride must again honor the lay prophets God empowers with his Spirit to turn our desire toward the Bridegroom's glory.' * Malcolm B. Yarnell, author of Royal Priesthood in the English Reformation, God the Trinity: Biblical Portraits, and Who Is the Holy Spirit? *

Book SynopsisA vision of church partnerships that will elevate churches to greater gospel fruitfulness and enable them to thrive.Networked churches are the primary church planting force in evangelicalism today—but what makes them so effective, why do they remain so under-appreciated, and what are the common pitfalls that can ensnare them?In Stronger Together, veteran church planter and pastor Dave Harvey draws from his experiences and study of networks to walk Christian institutions, church leaders, and planters through tested strategies for starting and sustaining healthy and biblical church partnerships.By focusing on key virtues and shedding light on the pitfalls that oppose them, Harvey unpacks seven dichotomies that offer a practical roadmap to healthy patterns: Conviction vs. consumerism Gifted leadership vs. isolationism Collaboration vs. radical individualism Renewal dynamics vs. institutionalism Trade Review'A timely and essential resource, Stronger Together gives you the heart and the strategy for starting and sustaining church networks.

This excellent resource is a model for choosing and thriving in church partnerships, and I commend this book to you.' * Brian Howard, executive director, Acts 29 *'Collaboration is a necessity for the fulfillment and completion of the Great Commission. Dave Harvey does a brilliant job reminding us that the mission is larger than any one church, network, or denomination. If we long to see true kingdom movement happen, relational networks outside of our tribe will be needed to ignite the fire. Stronger Together will help light the match.' * Will Plitt, executive director, Christ Together *'Dave Harvey draws on several decades of pastoral ministry, network leadership, and the teaching of the New Testament to coach us into a more collegial and fruitful way of leading--linking arms with other churches and watching the gospel surge forward more effectively than any single church could ever experience.' * Dane Ortlund, senior pastor, Naperville Presbyterian Church, and author of Gentle and Lowly *'Dave Harvey has gifted us with a humility-nurturing, Christ-accentuating, strengthening work for church and network leaders and pastors. His personal journey brings a gospel-soaked wisdom and a compelling vision for the issue of why churches are 'stronger together' in following Christ in his Great Commission.' * Sean Cordell, executive director, Treasuring Christ Together church planting network *'Dave Harvey provides a clear and compelling argument for the necessity of church planting networks to satisfy the Great Commission call. But he does so without diminishing the role of the local church. The wisdom displayed here will save many pastors and network leaders from falling into serious mistakes, including the growing tragedy of self-idolatry.' * Zach Nelson, executive director, The Pillar Network *'Dave Harvey writes with honest vulnerability and gospel centrality. Stronger Together will lead you toward an interdependent team approach in ministry. We all want that, but our self-serving habits are hard to break. I couldn't put the book down because of my passion for this kind of partnership in the gospel.' * Scott Thomas, executive pastor of church multiplication, Immanuel Nashville, and author of The Gospel-Shaped Leader *'God is honored by collaboration, and that's why I'm excited to recommend Stronger Together. Dave Harvey makes a strong biblical case for gospel partnership and collaboration, and he identifies the benefits of church partnerships and how networks can help the church produce more fruit. If you are passionate about Jesus and long to see greater impact on gospel outreach, read this book.' * Patrick O’Connell, global director, NewThing *'Grounded in Scripture and filled with examples and exercises, Stronger Together is essential reading for network leaders who want to lead more effectively, pastors who want to develop or deepen partnerships, and church members who want to understand how networks can strengthen church leaders and multiply church impact.' * Dave Owens, executive director, Harbor Network *'If we're blessed to see revival in our churches, I bet it will look a lot like the beautiful vision of partnership laid out by Dave Harvey. I encourage your church's leaders to work through this book together and trust God to develop a vision for growing stronger together.' * Collin Hansen, vice president of content and editor-in-chief of The Gospel Coalition *'In this masterwork, Dave Harvey makes a clear and compelling case for the necessity and power of gospel-centered partnerships among churches for the advancement of God's kingdom. If you pray, 'Your kingdom come,' this book will help you better understand how God wants to use you to be part of his answer to that prayer.' * Bob Lepine, teaching pastor, author of Love Like You Mean It, longtime cohost of FamilyLife Today *'No one I know is better qualified to write a book about gospel partnership than Dave Harvey. Dave has experienced firsthand the incredible missional benefits of cooperation and the difficult challenges associated with Christian cooperation. Stronger Together offers a thoughtful, biblical, and balanced case for partnerships that every pastor should read.' * Clint Clifton, founder, Praetorian Project, and author of Church Planting Thresholds *'Partnerships plant churches!

Book SynopsisWe are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in US history. It is greater than the First and Second Great Awakening and every revival in our country combined...but in the opposite direction. Yet precious little rigorous study has been done on the broad phenomenon of dechurching in America. Jim Davis and Michael Graham have commissioned the largest and most comprehensive study of dechurching in America by renowned sociologists Dr. Ryan Burge and Dr. Paul Djupe.The Great Dechurching takes the insights gleaned from this study to drill down on how exactly people are dechurching with respect to beliefs, behavior, and belonging.This book gives the church in America its first ever deep dive into the dechurched phenomenon. You''ll learn about the dechurched through a detailed sketch of demographics, size, core concerns, church off-ramps, historical roots, and the gravity of what is at stake. Then you''ll explore whTrade Review'Few things break my heart like watching friends leave the church behind. The Great Dechurching starts with bad news: I'm not alone. But there's still hope. Using insights drawn from Jim Davis and Michael Graham's writing, we've welcomed hundreds of dechurched people into our local church community, where they can encounter Jesus and construct life-changing relationships.' * Patrick Miller, pastor, author, and cohost of Truth over Tribe *'In The Great Dechurching, Jim Davis and Michael Graham with researcher Ryan Burge do just that, and their diagnosis is generally not encouraging. But the book does far more than offer an empirical diagnosis. They offer a plan of care for the church that can lead to renewed life in our churches, the return of many dechurched, and a greater gospel impact in our world. ' * Ed Stetzer, PhD, professor and dean, Talbot School of Theology *'Many Christian leaders and commentators have commented on trends in American church life. All of them will find something in The Great Dechurching that surprises them. But the appeal of this book isn't just bound up in the data it shares, as valuable as that is. Graham and Davis offer much in the way of shrewd analysis of the data and sober reflection on what it means for the life of the church in America. That analysis and reflection both elevate the book and offer to followers of Jesus a vision for how the next chapter of the Christian movement in America can be better than the one now coming to a close.' * Jake Meador, editor-in-chief, Mere Orthodoxy *'If you know someone who used to go to church and now doesn't, this book is for you. Jim Davis and Michael Graham have written a timely, necessary, and extremely beneficial resource that will compel and prepare those of us in the church to reach out to those who have left. The Great Dechurching is full of robust research that offers real hope and true help. This might be one of the most significant books you will read. May God use it to call many back to his beloved bride, the church.' * Courtney Doctor, director of women’s initiatives at The Gospel Coalition, Bible teacher, and author of From Garden to Glory, In View of God’s Mercies, and others *'Every church leader--either lay leader or ordained--needs to read this book to understand who is leaving churches, why they are leaving, and what it will take to bring them back. The Great Dechurching overflows with practical wisdom about the sobering reality of dechurching. While there is top level assessment of the numbers, the heart of the book is about people we all know and love. I am giving copies of this book to the clergy in the diocese where I serve, and I will assign it for the seminary courses I teach.' * Justin S. Holcomb, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida, seminary professor, and author *'This book is a clarion call, but it is not without hope or counsel. Instead of the mere pragmatism that often characterizes projects like this, the authors offer theological, confessional, and catechetical recommendations with ecclesiological convictions. The reader will still have to do the hard work of application to his or her own situation, but the reflection and action this book will spark could be significant. God is always up to something in moments like this, and we want to respond in wisdom and faithfulness to be instruments for his good purposes. * Ligon Duncan, chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary *

You''ll put yourself in their shoes. You''ll understand their doubts and hopes. And you''ll hear the power of Jesus'' words in a whole new way. The message is clear. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for you!Based on John MacArthur''s bestselling book of the same name, this revised and updated edition of the workbook includes biblical studies of each disciple, thought-provoking questions, and life application assignments.Lessons include: The Men Jesus Called: Outstandingly Ordinary Peter: The Unlikely Leader Andrew: The Apostle of Small Things James: The Apostle of Passion John: The Apostle of Love Philip: The Bean Counter Nathanael: The Guileless One Matthew and Thomas: The Tax Collector and the Twin James (the Less), Simon (the Zealot), and Judas (not Iscariot): The Not-So-Well-Known Trio Judas: The Traitor

It gives preachers and teachers the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God’s Word with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.Trade Review“At a time when many pastors are deeply in need of inspiration and encouragement, these volumes… would be a good investment for congregations, even if it means adding a line to the annual budget.” * Christianity Today *“Here at last is a commentary which is not only academically well informed but which helps that commentary reader hear God’s Word and consider its implications; scholarship in service of the Church.” * Arthur Rowe, Spurgeon’s College *“If you want to avoid hanging applicational elephants from interpretational threads, then the NIV Application Commentary is for you!

The NIV Application Commentary series will prove to be a helpful tool in the pastor’s sermon preparation. I use it and recommend it.” * Charles F. Stanley, Pastor, First Baptist Church of Atlanta *“It takes more than interpretation of God's Word to change lives, it takes application. Application is the bottom line in preaching and teaching. Without it, we’ve missed the point of the Bible. The NIV Application Commentary is an outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious about developing ‘doers of the Word.’” * Rick Warren, Pastor, Saddleback Valley Community Church *“The NIV Application Commentary builds bridges that make the Bible come alive with meaning for contemporary life--and the series do so concisely, clearly, and accurately.
