In the late 19th century, Lilias Trotter stood at the threshold of artistic fame, her extraordinary talent praised by the renowned critic John Ruskin. Yet, at the height of her promise, she made a radical choice that would define the course of her life. Turning away from worldly recognition and social convention, she forged her own path—one that led her through the roughest streets of London and, ultimately, to the deserts of North Africa.

Everybody knows the music. Everybody knows, as well, their tragedy. But what makes the Chapmans so remarkable—Steven Curtis and Mary Beth—is that the same endurance their relationship embodies can be true of each of ours as well. Still Here is their take on marriage, on parenting, on the lives we live and the promises we make. The Chapmans’ story, like all our stories, is one of total dependence on God’s grace and goodness, on His faithfulness and forgiveness, and on His readiness to redeem, in all of us, every outbreak of brokenness.

In a moment when everyone is seeking to be “set apart” as something—successful, beautiful, talented, popular, skilled, knowledgeable, or blessed—being set apart as holy is often an overlooked (or even undesirable) pursuit. Even for believers who agree that holiness matters in the Christian life, we often feel more comfortable cultivating and assigning other godly attributes to ourselves—love, grace, mercy, justice, kindness, and so on. But holy? It is so…other.

This book is written by two pastors leading in different contexts in the same community, one a church planter and the other a pastor of an established church.

In many circles, the image of what a pastor is or does looks nothing like the picture Jesus paints for his disciples of the character that marks citizens of his kingdom. Shepherding Like Jesus is a call to rebel against much of what our culture understands pastoral leadership to be and return to being the shepherd God has called pastors to be. It’s an invitation to recover the most essential element of pastoral ministry: the character of Christ.

Do you ever feel a disconnect as a mother—like you’re doing all the "mom things” you’re supposed to do as you stoop to serve your kids with your hands, but your heart isn’t in it? Kristen Wetherell has been there, and instead of offering you a parenting plan, a pep talk, or a list of things to do, her words in Humble Moms offers you exactly what she needs in moments of exhaustion: life-giving and biblical meditations on Jesus, who humbly serves you not only in hand, but in heart.

We live in a polarized time. Christians are quick to conceive of themselves either as theologically minded or worship-minded; either thinking Christians or feeling Christians. The results are damaging: Theology without worship is muted, stifled, and cold, and worship without theology is ungrounded, unrooted, and uninformed. This is not the way it was meant to be.

Do you feel like you are walking through the dark, looking for any flash of hope? As Chad Roberts’ eyesight rapidly deteriorated at the age of thirty-eight, he would soon find himself living in the dark, a familiar feeling for so many walking through seasons of suffering. But in the darkness, Chad found God to still be good, even when the challenges he faced did not appear to be.

If God is holy, then he can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then he can’t sin against you. If he can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make him the most trustworthy being there is? Best-selling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God - we misunderstand his holiness. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news.

Every Christian looks upon the future's horizon and imagines a relationship with God ever-increasing in vibrancy and strength.

We live in a cultural moment where the definition of “woman” eludes the keenest of thinkers and brightest of scientists, where one’s biological sex and one’s gender are divorced, where the meaning of gender itself is a constantly moving target, and where girls and women, especially, struggle to know who they are. Where societal confusion has naturally ensued from this state of affairs, and Christians especially wonder how to think and respond to it, Katie J. McCoy offers a clear and helpful guide in her debut book, To Be a Woman.

Almost every pastor feels the pressure to get people in the doors. Often, in their zeal for fruit and growth, pastors and church leaders adopt worldly mechanisms for church growth that end up undermining the very call God has given them. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, was a pastor to well over 5,000 people in a day long before "mega-churches" were the norm. In Spurgeon the Pastor, Geoff Chang shows how Spurgeon models a theological vision of ministry in preaching, baptism and the Lord's supper, meaningful church membership, biblical church leadership, and more.
