Book SynopsisThe West has become permeated with a culture that doesn’t ‘do’ God. Many people assert that we have progressed, while Christians are still clinging to out–dated ideas. In Why We (Still) Believe, fourteen contributors focus on several specific contemporary attacks on Christianity, showing why they ‘continue in the faith’ (Col.1:23). Contributors: Andy Bannister, Iver Martin, John Ellis, Vince Vitale, Maher Samuel, John Blanchard, Joe Barnard, David J. Randall, Stefan Gustavsson, Richard Lucas, David Robertson, Nola Leach, Gordon MacDonald, (the late) Gordon WilsonTrade ReviewIn a confused culture and an uncertain church, we urgently need this brave and confident clarion call. Confronting the increasingly strident challenges to faith, this is a stimulating, robust and timely response. -- Jonathan Lamb (Minister–at–large for Keswick Ministries, IFES Vice President, and former Director, Langham Preaching)Instructive, illuminating, challenging, and encouraging, these pages will motivate every reader to a clearer and more confident Christian worldview and lifestyle. -- Sinclair B. Ferguson (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)A compelling and clear statement of why Christianity may after all be true and, if true, of the momentous consequences for what we think, who we are and how we live. -- James M. Fraser (Former Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Highlands and Islands)Why We (Still) Believe is an insightful, informative compendium of extremely well written essays on contemporary hot-button issues. It will prove a helpful resource for thoughtful Christians seeking to respond in a gospel way in an increasingly secular West. -- Jim Turrent (Lead Pastor, Central Baptist Church, Dundee)I welcome this collection of short essays that passionately and intelligently present a coherent and cogent case for biblical Christianity in our secular world. -- Leonardo De Chirico (Church planter in central Rome)... theoretical and practical, pastoral and apologetical. I filled my copy with underlines and marginal notes, grateful for the "conversation" and the prompts for further reading and writing. -- Mark Coppenger (Professor of Christian Apologetics, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)This volume is a rich, varied and accessible read: confident without being bumptious or triumphalist, and well-argued without being overly intellectual. -- Alistair Donald (Chaplain, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh)... give Christians courage, strengthen biblical convictions, and potentially open many doors to speak of Jesus with credibility, integrity and the kind of intelligent discussion where some evangelism just talks right past the target audience. -- Peter Dickson (Regional Team Leader in Scotland, UCCF: The Christian Unions)

Book SynopsisSo, you’ve heard the Gospel, you’ve accepted Jesus as your saviour, you’re going to Church regularly – you’re definitely a Christian, but you don’t feel like you’re acting like one. The other Christians you know all seem to have it together but how do you get to that point? Even though none of us will be perfect in this life, we can grow to be more and more like Jesus. This book will tell you how.Trade ReviewI really like Sharon’s book. I like that it comprehensively teaches and applies one important verse. I like that it encourages Scripture memorisation. I like that it feels real and relevant, rather than the kind of thing written by someone who lives in a bubble. Most of all, I liked it because it helped me grow as a Christian and be more like the Saviour that both Sharon and I love. -- Adrian Reynolds (Head of National Ministries, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, UK)This book packs a ton of wisdom, help, and humor into a small space. Sharon does a great job showing that when we understand God’s love, it transforms us so that we look more like Jesus. As I read, I found myself challenged and helped to be more loving, joyful, patient, and gentle. I plan to use this book with a new Christian this week! -- Mike McKinley (Senior Pastor, Sterling Park Baptist Church, Virginia)

Book SynopsisSo you’re new to the whole Christianity thing. You’ve heard a bit about it but you aren’t really sure what to do next and you’ve still got some pretty big questions. Well, the First Steps series is here to help. Let’s start out with the most important question of all: is God out there? How can we know if He exists? If He does exist, what is He like? What does any of it have to do with us? This short book will help you think through these and other crucial questions.Trade Review… brilliantly simple and accessible to anyone searching for answers about God and truth, and yet biblically sound and clear about what it truly means to know Christ and walk with him. Mez has a sensitive pastor’s heart and a burden for the urban poor that oozes with every page. This book is a clear and needed contribution from one of the most careful and wise thinkers on caring for the poor in our generation. -- Brian Croft (Pastor, Auburndale Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky and Founder, Practical Shepherding)A bangin’ little book for those asking life’s big questions…especially those who don’t know about Jesus! -- Dai Hankey (Cheeky git and gospel ninja! (and Pastor of Hill City Church, Pontnewynydd))God – Is He Out There? is such a practical tool for discipling believers in the basics of the Christian faith … My advice: Grab a copy and walk with a few others believers through it. -- Robby Gallaty (Senior Pastor, Long Hollow Baptist Church, Hendersonville, Tennessee)God – Is He out There? is a clear explanation of what God says about himself without talking down to people. It’s a great opportunity to think about the most important questions of all: Does God exist? What’s he like? And what’s it got to do with me? -- Tim Chester (Author and senior faculty member, Crosslands Training)Mez McConnell gives us a beautiful and relatable road map to walking someone through the most important questions they’ll ever have. God–Is he out there, connects the dots between our doubts and the divine. A wonderful read. -- Albert Tate (Founder & lead pastor, Fellowship Monrovia, Monrovia, California and contributor to Letters to a Birmingham Jail)A life committed to following Jesus isn’t easy, so we need all the help we can get! I’m thankful, then, for a resource like this. In God: Is He Out There?, Mez McConnell tackles the difficult – yet central – questions of Christian theology in a way that is accessible, practical, and personal. -- Jared C. Wilson (Director of Content Strategy for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Managing Editor of For The Church, Midwestern's site for gospel-centered resources.)

Book SynopsisA visually engaging exploration of apparent contradictions within the Christian faith. One of the significant challenges in the Christian faith is the number of apparent contradictions the Bible presents. These paradoxes and mysteries can be difficult to understand. In Both–And Ross Cunningham takes 23 pairs of seemingly contradictory truths and concisely and clearly explains how they can co–exist. The book is divided into three main sections – apparent contradictions in the divine nature; apparent contradictions in the experience of salvation; and apparent contradiction in the characteristics of being in Christ. Ross Cunningham, who has a background in creative design, has introduced each chapter with an attractive graphic representation of the paradox in question. Trade Review… leads us with skilful poise on an exciting tightrope walk through twenty–three paradoxes of Christian theology and experience. He helps us find equilibrium in areas where sometimes we can very easily lose our balance. -- Fergus Macdonald (Former Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland and General Secretary of the National Bible Society of Scotland)Ross Cunningham’s fresh and engaging exposition of Christian faith and life addresses such questions and many more, in a way that is both intellectually satisfying and pastorally helpful. I commend the book warmly. -- Gordon McConville (Emeritus Professor of Old Testament Theology, University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham)… writes with clarity and conciseness that renders accessible the complexity of doctrine without compromising on difficult truths. I heartily commend it to you. -- Cynthia Bennett Brown (Lecturer in Systematic & Historical Theology, Belfast Bible College)By wrestling with the rich and complex doctrines at the heart of the Christian Scriptures, and pressing into some of the apparent contradictions therein, he has discovered truth and beauty and goodness, which he shares in abundance in this book. This is a colourful and creatively presented introduction to profound theological truth that will stimulate both mind and heart. -- Reuben Hunter (Pastor, Trinity West Church, London)God knows the human mind can’t contain the fullness of truth so God grants to us a series of both–ands. The dearth of theology among so many is addressed in this short, snappy book that examines baskets of these tension points in our faith and it examines them fairly, clearly, and sensitively. What a wonderful idea for an introduction to Christian theology! -- Scot McKnight (Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary, Lisle, Illinois)Both–And is an insightful, creative, clarifying book that helps us think through the theological tensions that arise when we study the Bible. The illustrations and biblically grounded explanations memorably communicate these tensions so that we understand better both the complexity and simplicity of the big ideas of theology. I’m thankful for this excellent resource and expect that it will be of great help to those wanting to understand the answers to life’s biggest questions. -- Erik Thoennes (Professor and Chair of Theology, Talbot School of Theology and Pastor, Grace Evangelical Free Church of La Mirada, California)In this fresh and accessible book, Ross Cunningham addresses these antimonies of Christian faith and experience with clarity and faithfulness to the witness of scripture. What is particularly valuable is his use of visual imagery to highlight each area of tension. This is a primer in Christian theology and a valuable resource for both personal and group reflection. -- Trevor W. J. Morrow (Minister Emeritus, Lucan Presbyterian Church, Ireland)This book is a fantastic platform to systematically explore the vital issues of belief for those who are keen to gain depth in their understanding. It is a great teaching resource for small group settings, or an informal catalyst for conversations. -- David Gray (Presbyterian Chaplain, Queen’s University, Belfast)Both–And is clever, creative and clear. What a great way to learn theology! I loved the format which avoids being gimmicky whilst at the same time clearly drawing attention to the truths it illustrates. Most Christians will benefit from reading Ross Cunningham’s wee book – and a lot of non–Christians too. Taste and see… -- David Robertson (Well–known pastor and apologist)The combination of word and visual aid will help make difficult but essential Christian teachings more accessible to all. This book promotes a theology of balance, which is often lacking in our teaching today but is central to our Christian walk. -- Ivan Steen (Minister, Windsor Presbyterian Church, Belfast)

Book SynopsisThe fascinating story of a young millionaire whose short life was lived in the service of his Lord Although William Borden was taken from this world at the young age of 25, the years he lived were full of dedication to serve. Kevin Belmonte draws on letters, quotations and images to paint a unique picture of William’s life of commitment to God, delving into the ways ‘vital truth,’ as William called it, was the star he reckoned by. In the telling of the life story of William Borden, there is much to learn about living a life of devotion to God. The desire to live for Christ guided and shaped William’s life, from his school days, right up until his death. With insightful extracts of letters and telling photos, the reader is taken on a journey through William’s life, from The Hill School, to Yale, to Princeton Seminary, and the beginning of his missionary training. Reading this book will give a wonderful view into Borden’s world, to know something of the voices and scenes he knew. A vital part of William’s life was his ‘Morning Watch’ (or what he also called his ‘breakfast’) – feeding on and contemplating the Word of God and growing deeper in his faith. It’s a privilege to have this unique insight into his life, and an inspiration for readers to strive to live such a life of devotion themselves. Trade Review… a vivid, cinematic telling of William Borden’s life, his deep compassion, and the large circle of his friendships. Faith illumined his brief but vibrant life. In the ivy halls of college, and beyond, he knew the True North of belief. -- Kelly Monroe Kullberg (Editor and co–author of Finding God at Harvard, founder of The Veritas Forum)William Borden’s life and example hearken back to earlier figures in the Christian tradition: he was a latter–day David Brainerd, motivated by a self–sacrificial missionary zeal… -- Kenneth P. Minkema (Jonathan Edwards Center, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut )Kevin Belmonte’s marvelous portrait of William Borden, ‘the millionaire missionary,’ not only inspires, but wistfully captures the time of a faith–prompted generation: one that modeled a decency, decorum, and dedication for which our hearts so yearn. -- LaGard Smith (Former Professor of Law, Faulkner University, Montgomery, Alabama)Like a note sung and reverberating through a great cathedral space, his short life continues to reverberate into the modern missionary movement. There is no better biographer than Kevin Belmonte to keep Borden’s beautiful song continuing. -- Jeff Johnson (Award–winning musician)Kevin Belmonte has done something remarkable. He’s taken a figure history had virtually forgotten, and revealed a man whose commitment and actions literally transformed the world around him. This is a life changing story that our culture today needs to know. -- Phil Cooke (Filmmaker, media consultant, and author of The Way Back)With words carefully chosen and lovingly placed, Kevin Belmonte reverently tells the story of a short life lived brilliantly in service of God and God’s own. Belmonte’s Borden inspires and summons the reader to the noble destiny of being called by God to brightly bear God’s image in a world bedimmed and belittled by lesser aspirations. -- Steve Bell (Singer/songwriter)… having been given the gift of this book, I am freshly reminded of the gift Borden was to so many, including many like me, who read about him decades after his death. His story ranks with those of George Liele, Adoniram Judson, Lottie Moon, John Paton, Jim Elliot and others who’ve left home to make Christ known to all. -- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)An insightful, beautifully written, inspiring account of a remarkable life. It’s simply outstanding! -- Trent Sheppard (Author of God on Campus and The Jesus Journey)This book is an Olympian achievement: biography at its best, a very compelling and inspiring read. -- David Naugle (Author of Worldview: History of a Concept, Dallas Baptist University, Dallas, Texas)For readers in the UK and places beyond, Kevin Belmonte’s well researched and stirring narrative of William Borden’s life will inspire a new generation to follow Christ courageously, and without reserve. -- Alan Taylor (Church Leader, England)It was said of William Borden, ‘thousands will thank God that he lived.’ But how will the thousands of our own time be able to thank God for someone whose name they may not know? That is where Kevin Belmonte comes in. He rescues exemplary saints from the shadows of history. He gives us the lives of people like Borden for us to savor, and most especially, to join the thousands in thanking God for. This is a masterful book. -- Michael Card (Songwriter)… in this engaging new biography by Kevin Belmonte, ‘Borden of Yale’ comes to life again for another generation. A book to inspire and encourage followers of Jesus everywhere -- Timothy George (Founding Dean of Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama)In the pages of this book, it’s wonderful to see how much Kevin Belmonte has uncovered regarding this extraordinary man. -- Gail Borden (Member of the extended Borden family)William Borden’s story will spur and encourage all of us to go into all the world…to preach God’s Word, in word and deed… -- The Honorable Jim Ryun (Former Member of Congress, 3 Time Olympian, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom)William Borden had the whole world open to him; but risked everything to follow the call of God’s love and share the gospel with those who needed to hear it. … Our hope is that this book will lead each of us to consider God’s call, and what He may ask us to undertake. -- James and Lisa Dougherty (Co–Directors, Overseas Missionary Fellowship (US))In the tradition of Chariots of Fire and Eric Liddell, William Borden’s story reveals the hand of God at work in a remarkable way…Kevin Belmonte has brought to life another story from history that we desperately need today. -- Chris Fabry (Moody Radio, host of ‘Chris Fabry Live’)The life of William Borden has inspired my faith and walk with God since I first read his story as a young girl. I pray that this biography will inspire a new generation to follow in the steps of Borden’s whole–hearted, single–focused devotion to Christ, to choose Him above all this world has to offer, and to live their lives with eternity always in view. -- Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth (Author and founder & host of Revive Our Hearts)I wish every Christian college student would read this book. Life does not begin after college and graduate school. Life is now! The world awaits your impact! -- Gary D. Chapman (Author of the New York Times No. 1 bestseller The 5 Love Languages)No one represented The Hill School motto, ‘Whatsoever Things Are True’ more than William Borden. His life, sacrifice, and many contributions unfold in this excellent biography. -- Louis E. Jeffries (Archivist and Librarian, The Hill School (William Borden’s prep school), Pottstown, Pennsylvania)

Book SynopsisThis book argues for the separation of the church and the state. Additionally, Estelle claims that the historically reformed position is that Christ is ruler of all; however, he manifests his rule in different ways. These basic categories, i.e., that God rules the church as a redeemer (a spiritual kingdom) and rules the state and all other social institutions (the civil kingdom) as creator and sustainer, has been widely held by Reformed thinkers for centuries until the modern period. Estelle claims that without this bedrock truth, any attempt to describe the primary mission of the church will collapse. This book has four parts. Part one gives the biblical basis for the primary mission of the Church. Part two of this book explores what the primary mission of the church is not. Part three of this book pivots toward a positive definition of what the primary mission of the Church is. Part four is more practical. In the final three chapters (part four) of the book, the discussion turns to several areas where the Scripture’s teaching about ecclesiology, specifically on the primary mission of the Church. The book now assumes a practical import for her practice: the nature and limitations of Church power, the mission of the Church and politics and education. Finally, the book concludes with the famous biblical passage in which Paul addresses Athenian citizens on the Aeropagus. This sublime sermon exemplifies Paul’s exquisite evangelism and ably pictures and embodies the positive principles in this book on the primary mission of the Church. Throughout Estelle argues that the mission of the corporate church is spiritual, which means that he describes those things that are properly of and properly belonging to the church.Trade ReviewIn this timely book Bryan Estelle offers a fresh restatement of the classical doctrine of the church: it is a spiritual kingdom with spiritual weapons for a spiritual calling. Citing important voices in the Reformed tradition, The Primary Mission of the Church is a careful and irenic engagement with recent challenges to the church’s spirituality. Estelle demonstrates how this doctrine, rightly understood, liberates the church from false hopes and alien agendas even while it equips believers faithfully to fulfill their callings in the world. -- John R. Muether (Dean of Libraries and Professor of Church History, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando)The church and her engagement with society and contemporary issues, particularly questions of justice, is the source of much division and realignment within many local congregations. Dr. Estelle engages both historical and contemporary writers on the topic, as well as offering a thorough Biblical and Theological walk through key Old Testament passages in order to make his case. I warmly commend this much needed addition to the contemporary conversation. -- Phil Proctor (Pastor, Sterling Presbyterian Church, Sterling, Virginia)

Book SynopsisAll of us have someone else to thank for receiving the good news of salvation. Mission is a means to a greater goal – God’s name being glorified in the salvation of sinners. We should long to see God’s fame being spread as far as possible. Throughout the Bible God chose to reach the nations through the preaching of His own people. Emilio Garofalo Neto helps us think through mission, the place it has in our world today, and our role in the mission of Christ.Trade ReviewDiscussions of cultural sensitivity, contextualization, postmodernism, globalization, technology, and living eschatologically are sure to make this volume a helpful conversation piece for the church. -- Jonathan Moorhead (The Master’s Academy International)Emilio speaks skillfully to a younger generation about the joys, challenges, and responsibilities of mission work. His book is simple, straightforward, and relational in the way it communicates vibrant truth. -- Simona Gorton (International Operations Manager for 9Marks and author of ‘Better Than We Dreamed’)This little book shows that mission is at the heart of God’s purposes for the world, and challenges us to play our part in this urgent work. -- Bill James (Principal, London Seminary, London, UK)It impressed me how Emilio masterfully treated this subject in less than one hundred pages. When he refers to ‘mission’ he is writing about the redemptive Work of God through all His servants (the workers) across the street and around the world. It is worth reading. -- Elias Medeiros (Intercultural Studies, Professor of Missions Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary)

Book SynopsisAn uplifting, encouraging reminder that God works through his imperfect people. Evangelism is crucial, it is urgent, it is exciting, it is wonderful. There is nothing more thrilling than to see God at work in people’s lives and to see men, women, boys and girls discovering the incredible joy and peace that comes from knowing Jesus. But it is also hard. Really hard. Often, sharing our faith with other people is the area of our Christian lives where we feel at our most useless. The Bible contains a wealth of theological truth that is a powerhouse of encouragement for evangelism, including the basic truths that God is God and you are you. God is who he has always been: infinite, eternal, unchangeable, all–powerful, at work in his world. You are you; you don’t need to become someone you are not. God has not called a select group of elite Christians to tell the world about Jesus; he has chosen his weak, insecure, ineloquent people. He has chosen you. Trade ReviewThis is a wonderfully encouraging and compelling book on evangelism. With a pastor’s heart and a passion for theology, Thomas reminds us of how incredible God is, how brilliant His plans are, how good the gospel is, and how blessed we are to share it. I highly recommend it. -- Andy Longwe, minister of London City Presbyterian Church (London City Presbyterian Church)I have been waiting years for this book! Winsome evangelism requires robust content and an enthusiastic messenger, and this book will both inform and motivate. If you have a sense that you just can’t witness, then you have just grasped the first principle of this book. God is powerful and He delights to empower the weak. -- David Meredith (Mission Director, Free Church of Scotland, Inverness)Rooted in rich theology, clothed in contemporary language and peppered with helpful illustrations, God is God and You are You is a transfusion for anaemic faith, a shot in the arm for us all as we seek to take seriously our Saviour’s commission to be his witnesses. -- Mike Mellor (Evangelist and Writer)Here is an uplifting and encouraging primer on evangelism. Davis undergirds the disciple of Christ with sound theology, practical helps, and a refreshing outlook. -- Jason Helopoulos (Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan)

Book SynopsisIn 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world. God's Hostage is the incredible true story of his imprisonment, his brokenness, and his eventual freedom. Anyone with a heart for missions, especially to the Muslim world, will love this tension-laden and faith-laced book.

Book SynopsisThe story of religion in the twenty-first-century West has been defined, in part, by the stories of once-zealous pastors moving beyond their faith to embrace a life of reason. But too often and too quickly ardent believers dismiss such accounts as aberrations and fail to consider the real-life implications for those who make this transition. Atheists and other skeptics, meanwhile, struggle to understand what took these individuals so long to make such a journey—and why others aren’t lining up more quickly to do the same. As a result, the questions posed by one side inevitably mirror those asked by the other. Why do believers trust in God the way they do? But what factors lead atheists to dismiss religious beliefs so easily? How can believers have faith in the face of known science and history? But what allows anyone to be so sure their beliefs are based in reality? What would it take for believers to stop believing in God? But what would it take for nonbelievers to start to believe? Drawing on the author’s own story as a former evangelical pastor powerless to stop his turn to atheism, The Rise and Fall of Faith touches on these and other questions, inviting readers into a long-overdue conversation between Christians and atheists. While the aim of the book is to initiate this much-needed discussion, the author encourages all who care about the future of humanity to carry the dialogue forward—whether in the evaluation of our own inner thoughts, in the assumptions we make about the other side, or in how we work together in the pursuit of understanding and common ground as we navigate the world’s ever-changing and increasingly challenging religious and cultural landscape.Trade Review"An extraordinary offering . . . a cinematic drama . . . an alternative to rancor and a path toward understanding."
