CASEY J, Christian songwriter and storyteller

Countless people are invisible to us. We overlook the poor and homeless, partly because we don’t share much space with them. More seriously, we often choose not to see the realities around us. We hold misconceptions about who is deserving, or make false assumptions about people’s people’s poverty being their own fault. Terence Lester calls call s us to see the invisible invisib le people around

us. His personal encounters and real-life stories challenge Christians to become more informed about poverty and homelessness. When w we e see people through God’ God ’s eyes and hear their stories, we restore their dignity and help them flourish. And when we recognize our own inner spiritual poverty, we have greater empathy for others, no matter their circumstances.

Through the pain of deep loss, he remembers God’s voice calling out to him even in the deafening silence.

“I truly believe that Don’s Don’s book has the capacity to unlock witnesses for Christ in this missional moment. We desperately need ways to set people free to tell the story of Christ. Filled with important statistical insight, amazing stories of witness, vulnerable examples, and rich biblical insight—this book is simply a must for the church today.” JIM SINGLETON, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary “The book is rooted in thoughtful statistics, helping us see how faith today is different from twenty-five years ago. Don’s Don’s style is folksy, folksy, winsome, insightful, convicting, and even fun. Enjoy!” DOUG SCHAUPP, coauthor of I Once Was Lost

New research finds that Christians are less involved in spiritual conversations today than we were twentyfive years ago. As a result, many of our churches and communities are shrinking instead of growing. What can we do about this? Telling surprising—and sometimes embarrassing— stories, Don Everts affirms what Scripture and the latest research reveal: spiritual conversations can

actually be a delight. Unpacking what God’s Word says about spiritual conversations and digging into the habits of eager conversationalists, Everts describes what we can learn from Christians who are still talking about their faith. With original research from the Barna Group on spiritual conversations conversations in the digital age, this book offers fresh insights and best practices for fruitful everyday conversations. conversations.

DOUGLAS GROOTHUIS, Denver Seminary

Our world is changing dramatically, yet many Christians still rely on cookie-cutter approaches to evangelism and apologetics. Most of these methods assume that people are open, interested, and needy for spiritual insight when increasingly most people are not. Our urgent need, then, is the capacity to persuade—to make a convincing case for the gospel to people who are not interested in it.

In his magnum opus, Os Guinness offers a comprehensive presentation of the art and power of creative persuasion. Following the tradition of Erasmus, Pascal, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, and Peter Berger, Berger, Guinness demonstrates how apologetic persuasion requires both the rational and the imaginative. Discover afresh the persuasive power of Christian witness.

“With great sensitivity, wisdom, and boldness, Ken takes on the tough, often-taboo topics of privilege and race. . . . This book is needed and timely, timely, and it will help reshape the conversation around race in America.” JENNY YANG, World Relief “The Myth of Equality is a genuine contribution for those of us looking for ways forward.” SCOT M CKNIGHT, Northern Seminary

Is privilege real or imagined? Issues of race and equality have come to the forefront in our nation’s nation’s consciousness— every week yet another incident involving racial tension splashes across headlines and dominates our news feeds. But it’s not easy to unpack the origins of these tensions, and perhaps we wonder whether any of these issues really has anything to do with us.

Ken Wytsma, founder of The Justice Conference, understands these questions. He has gone through his own journey of understanding the underpinnings of inequality and privilege. In this timely, insightful book, Wytsma unpacks what we need to know to be grounded in conversations about today’s race-related issues.

A LONG OBEDIENCE IN THE SAME DIRECTION Discipleship in an Instant Society

Since Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic nearly forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by its call to deeper discipleship. As a society, we are still obsessed with the immediate. But Peterson’s time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same—a long obedience in the same direction. With his prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson finds encouragement for today’s pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), sung by travelers on their way to worship in Jerusalem. This special hardcover commemorative edition includes a new preface taken from Leif Peterson’s eulogy at his father’s memorial service.

RUN WITH THE HORSES The Quest for Life at Its Best

We all long to live life at its best—to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence—to excellence—to run with the horses and live life at its best? In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. In his signature pastoral style, he invites readers to grasp the biblical truth that each person’s person’s story of faith is completely original. This special hardcover commemorative edition includes a new preface taken from Eric Peterson’s homily at his father’s memorial service, as well as a sixsession Bible study guide for individuals or groups.

“Jeff Tacklind Tacklind is a surprising and winsome voice with a wide reach. He writes with the vulnerability of someone who just wants to be a little more like Jesus. But behind his easy-going tone you’ll find the riches of a seasoned spiritual director and pastor.” IAN MORGAN CRON, author of The Road Back to You “The promise of the title is real—your own journey will be transformed.” LEONARD SWEET, Evangelical Seminary

Pastor Jeff Tacklind describes spiritual transformation as an invitation to paradox. By entering into suffering, he says, we find joy. By embracing the downward path of humility, we find glory. And by remaining small, sometimes we grow to great heights. Readers who have found their own spiritual journey to be winding and halting rather than a constant ascent

of growth will resonate with Tacklind’s vulnerability in this honest and meditative account. Tacklind draws from the natural world—trees, waves, mountains, and canyons—to bring to life the lessons that he has picked up along the way. C. S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Søren Kierkegaard, and others all serve as guides who light the way on the winding path of following God.

MANUEL LUZ, creative arts pastor, author of Honest Worship

Do you ever feel like you are walking in spiritual circles? While we might think it would be different for a Franciscan priest, Father Albert Haase shares the same struggles. And yet he also affirms that we are all called to be ordinary mystics, who, in the words of his own spiritual director, are “ordinary Christians who do what we are all called to do: respond to grace.”

Learning to be a mystic is about cultivating a life with God in which we draw close, listen, and respond moment to moment. We know we will fail at times, but we can also be certain that we follow a God who never stops reaching out to us. This book offers a daily path to making the connection.

Researcher and practitioner Rick Richardson unveils the findings of the Billy Graham Center Institute’s groundbreaking studies on the unchurched. A study of 2,000 unchurched people across the country reveals that the unchurched are still remarkably open to faith conversations and the church. Even unchurched “nones” and millennials are quite receptive if they are approached in particular ways.

In this book you will find best practices from research into the top ten percent of churches that most effectively reach the unchurched. People who were previously unchurched share what actually moved them to faith and Christian commitment. The research shows that churches and organizations can be transformed to become places where conversion growth becomes the new normal.

WHY CHURCH? A Basic Introduction

?

Is a church just something we create to serve our purposes or to maintain old traditions? Or is the church something more vital, more meaningful, and more powerful? In this introduction to the nature of the local church, set in the context of Christian history and global diversity, historian and missionary Scott Sunquist brings us a portrait of the church in motion, clarifying the two primary purposes of the church: worship and witness. This primer comes from Fuller Theological Seminary's renowned church-planting program.

HOW REASON CAN LEAD TO GOD A Philosopher’s Bridge to Faith

Do you seek the truth? Do you value reason, science, and independent thinking? Do you hope there could be a greater purpose to the universe, if only that were realistic? Philosopher Joshua Rasmussen can encourage you in your journey. Beginning with his own story of losing faith and the belief in any ultimate purpose in life, he then builds a bridge to faith. Using only the instruments of reason and common experience, Rasmussen constructs a pathway—step by step, brick by brick—that he argues can lead to meaning and, ultimately ulti mately,, a vision of God.

THE NEW TESTAMENT IN SEVEN SENTENCES A Small Introduction to a Vast Topic

To understand the breadth of the gospel’s message, we need to perceive the full tapestry of Scripture with its theological themes woven together. Gary M. Burge aims to weave this larger tapestry so that each part of the story takes on richer meaning. Using seven key sentences from the New Testament, Gary M. Burge demonstrates how the themes of fulfillment, kingdom, cross, grace, covenant, spirit, and completion set a theological rhythm for our faith, outlining the broader pattern of Scripture that illustrates what God has done—and is bringing to fulfillment—in Christ.

How can Christians claim that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is a victory? The expression of this eternal truth has taken different shapes throughout the church’s life and history. The Eastern Orthodox church has made its own contributions to the belief in salvation through Christ, but its expressions sometimes sound unfamiliar to Western branches of the church. James Payton, a Western Christian with a sympathetic ear for Eastern Orthodoxy, explores the Orthodox doctrine of salvation, helping Christians of all traditions listen to Orthodox brothers and sisters.

THE LITURGY OF CREATION IVP TITLE Book Context Subtitle Understanding Calendars in Old Testament

How were holidays scheduled and taught in biblical Israel? And what might these holidays have to do with the creation narrative? Michael LeFebvre considers the calendars of the Pentateuch with their basis in the heavenly lights and the land’s agricultural cadences. He argues that dates were added to Old Testament narratives not as journalistic details but to teach sacred rhythms of labor and worship. LeFebvre then applies this insight to the creation week, finding that the days of creation also serve a liturgical purpose and not a scientific one.

New expressions of church that are proliferating among Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and other non-Christian religious communities, including so-called “insider” movements, have raised intense discussion in missiological circles. Drawing on the growing social-scientific work on emergent theory, Darren Duerksen and William Dyrness explore how all Christian movements are engaged in a “reverse hermeneutic,” where the gospel is read and interpreted through existing cultural and religious norms. They argue that this is a missiological process in which God has always worked through people and their cultures to shape his witness wit ness in the world.

Four Views of God’s Emotions and Suffering

Does God suffer? Does God experience emotions? Does God change? How should we interpret passages of Scripture that seem to support one view or the other? This Spectrum Multiview volume brings together four theologians with decidedly different answers to these questions. The contributors make a case for their own view—ranging from a traditional affirmation of divine impassibility (the idea that God does not suffer) to the position that God is is necessarily and intimately affected by creation—and creation—and then each contributor responds to the others’ views.

EVERY TRIBE Stories of Diverse Saints Serving in a Divers World The Bible tells us Jesus is for every tribe, language, people, and nation—so why are all the saints in our stained-glass windows white? An oppressive bias has taken ahold of the storytelling of the church. Many are surprised to discover that St. Augustine was from presentday Algeria, and even that most British of saints, George, was an immigrant with a Turkish father and a Palestinian mother. Every Tribe celebrates the true diversity of the saints, inspiring the church to become what it is meant to be: the rainbow people of God serving the diverse needs of a diverse world.

It is time, once more, to re-imagine the role of faith, church and its place in the public square, based around the work of Paul and especially the Epistle to the Romans.
