NEW
Rich Wilkerson Jr. It's our calling to reach out, seek the lost and save sinners with the scandalous Gospel of Grace. The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. Dive into the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us friends not because of what we've done, but of who he is. He knew people need to belong and understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly. The Gospel can't be overestimated. When we embrace the truth of why we need Jesus, we walk as he walked with the same conviction and compassion, experiencing the glory of God in our lives and the lives of others.

Phoebe

Open up Paul's theology, the cultural pressures that shaped it, and the life of the early church. Rigorously researched, this is a book for those who want to engage deeply and imaginatively with Paul's theology, by one of the UK's foremost New Testament scholars. Hb | 320 pgs | HODDER & STOUGHTON

Michael Yankoski Frustrated and disillusioned with life, Michael was determined to stop merely talking about living a life of faith. The result was a year focused on ancient and modern spiritual practices.

The Air I Breathe
Louie Giglio Worship is more than singing on Sunday, it's what makes us human. God sparked this desire in us from the day He breathed life into Adam and Eve. Since then, everyone who has walked this planet has participated in God's plan. While many squander their gift, others find wonder-filled life in communion with God. Freedom comes when worship flows through us as naturally as the air we breathe, when our words and actions resonate with our Creator. When we understand the holiness of God who knows the stars by name (and His overwhelming love for us) how can we offer any less? Louie Giglio explains in passionate prose what it means to truly live worship, with insight and guidance for finding our path. Pb | 160 pgs | MULTNOMAH

What Planes, Trains, and Rickshaws Taught Me About Jesus Chad Gibbs Chad grew up in Alabama, part of America's Bible Belt, until he stepped out of his comfort zone to learn what Christianity is like around the world.

Theo Hobson The origins and evolution of our secular worldview show how Christian values indispensably underpin our morality. This is a timely warning against the dangers of a culture war in this fresh and provocative look at religion and politics - but one that doesn't fit the normal boxes. Although the creed of the West is best described as 'secular humanism' we can only understand and affirm it if we see how firmly it's based on Christian values. If we don't, the West is mired in a stagnant stand-off between fundamentalist atheism and hard-line Christian theism. This book offers a nuanced and historically persuasive way forward, showing how much our secular morality owes to Christianity and how it can only find coherence through its origins.

The Crucifixion
Fleming Rutledge The apostle Paul proclaimed “Christ crucified” as the heart of the gospel yet preaching on the cross is a rarity today. Rutledge addresses issues and controversies that have caused pastors to speak of the cross only in general terms, precluding a full understanding of the gospel by their congregations. Examine themes and motifs used by New Testament writers to explain the cross of Christ - from classics and medieval theology to recent scholarship bringing them into contemporary context. Rutledge seeks to encourage preachers, teachers and anyone else interested in what Christians believe to be the central event of history. Pb | 696 pgs | EERDMANS

Harries considers Christianity and the nature of evil alongside a just and loving God.

The Landscape of Faith
Alister McGrath Taking a nondenominational approach similar to the "mere Christianity" advocated by C.S. Lewis, leading theologian Alister McGrath uses the creeds as a map and framework to explore Christian doctrines, their meaning, significance and continuing importance, and what it means to live a life of faith. In this new book, he tells of his discovery of Christianity while at Oxford University and takes you on a theological panoramic tour of the landscape of faith. Using the story of his crisis of faith, he looks at why Christians believe what they do, how we can understand it, and the difference it makes to the way we think about ourselves and our world so that you can find your own map to navigate faith's landscapes.

Paul: A Biography Best Seller
This compelling reconstruction of the life and thought of St Paul paints a vivid picture of the Roman world in which he preached his revolutionary message that had a lasting impact on both the Church and the world. Regarded by many as the founder of Christianity, Paul is one of the most controversial and powerful figures in history. His writings have influenced Western culture and beyond and his words continue to guide the lives of over two billion Christians across the world today. In this superbly detailed biography Tom Wright traces Paul's career from zealous persecutor of the fledgling Church, through his journeys as the world's greatest missionary theologian, to his likely death as a Christian martyr in the mid 60s AD. Drawing on the latest research into the Jewish, Greek and Roman worlds, and enriched by a wealth of insight into Paul's writings, this is a rounded portrait of the apostle Paul, his development, motivations, spiritual struggles and intellectual achievements.

Next, the 5,000 who were needy, while 70 worked and served in Jesus' ministry; then came the 12 who walked with Jesus, the 3 who suffered and celebrated with him, and finally the One who sat beside him at the Last Supper. Jesus' closest follower listened more closely than any other, and recognised the Saviour when no one else did. Scripture promises if you draw close to God, He will move closer to you. Learn about each of the 6 circles, and the Grace, boundaries and intimacy they portray. Whichever circle you're in, Jesus is calling you closer. Pb | 338 pgs | THOMAS NELSON

Who Are We to Judge?
Pb | 192 pgs | THOMAS NELSON
Fraser Dyer Jesus says 'do not judge' yet it's our instinct to. In a world where snap judgements are made daily, how can we resist the urge to join in? Christians are especially adept at framing judgement as righteousness, without recognising the psychological and spiritual pitfalls. It's easier to point a finger at clear sins than to recognise the way judgements corrupt us. In this insightful book, understand what compels us to be critical towards others and explore judgementalism throughout scripture and the ministry and teaching of Christ. Fraser includes practical approaches to enable us to journey from self-righteous judgements to loving our neighbour. Pb | 144 pgs | SPCK

Unexpected
Is it possible to have peace in an uncertain world? To not only expect the unexpected but embrace it? We want to have life under control. But God wants us to anticipate the unexpected with a faith rooted in His goodness. He wants us to know that because He is in control, we don't have to be. Bestselling author Christine Caine offers real-life strategies and biblical inspiration to help us move from fear and worry about ourselves to hope and trust in God. As we learn new ways to manage disappointment, strengthen our hearts, and build our faith, we can enjoy a new adventure with God that is more fulfilling than any day spent worrying about what's around the corner. Stepping into our God-given destiny means stepping into the unknown, but we can embrace that calling because God knows it already. We can expect God to do good because He is Good. What other expectation do we need to have? Pb | 224 pgs | ZONDERVAN

What We Talk about when We Talk about Faith

This is a collection of interviews with activists, writers, artists, politicians, rebels and those who have taken vows of faith, all collectively demonstrating that there are as many ways of exploring faith as there are individuals doing it.

Steven Furtick Looking at the last words of Christ reveals a pattern for our spiritual journey. From time to time we all feel stuck in our relationship with God and frustrated by life's setbacks. Jesus faced what could have been the ultimate defeat on the cross, yet he emerged through his relationship with his heavenly Father, and showed us the way so that we could do the same. Furtick explores how Jesus' last 7 statements on the cross offer a proven path for spiritual growth. Words of forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, reunion. We're called to be followers of Christ, both through his message, and his method.
