W E N D Y A L S U P began her public ministry as deacon of women’s theology and teaching at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, and now lives on her family farm in South Carolina. She writes at gospelcenteredwoman.com and is the author of numerous books, including Is the Bible Good for Women? and Practical Theology for Women.

Have you experienced an ongoing trial that left you wrung out emotionally? Do you feel alone in your pain?

Though suffering often leaves us feeling isolated, God invites us into the community of the Trinity and offers us many companions in Scripture. We experience loneliness alongside the exiled Israelites. We journey with David as he pleads to God for rescue. With Asaph we confess our unbelief. With Job we learn to lament. With Mary and Martha we learn to wait.

In God’s community, there is sweet fellowship, even in the hardest of circumstances. Journey in these pages with Wendy Alsup through her story of suffering, and more importantly, with the God who walks with us in the wilderness. This warm and contemplative book also includes a helpful appendix for those who are companions to a suffering loved one.

C O M P A N I O N S I N S U F F E R I N GCOMFORT FOR TIMES OF LOSS AND LONELINESS

“No one who is really suffering is interested in trite answers or simple formulas; we want something substantive. We want to hear

from someone who has been there and is honest about the pain but offers genuine insight into what it looks like to persevere through

the pain. That’s what Wendy Alsup does in this book.”

N A N C Y G U T H R I E , author and Bible teacher

“If you or someone you know is suffering, allow Wendy to come alongside and help you see Jesus again.”

T O N Y C A R T E R , lead pastor of East Point Church, Atlanta

“Wendy Alsup writes with insight and faithfulness about a subject few of us would choose to explore. . . . She doesn’t offer easy

answers but something far richer: compassion and companionship for those journeying with someone who is suffering or for those

walking through the valley of the shadow in their own lives.”

M I C H E L L E V A N L O O N , author of Born to Wander

“Wendy welcomes us into her tent of suffering, encouraging us to enter into others’ tents and welcome them into ours. She doesn’t do so with empty platitudes or false promises but with the hope of the gospel and the truth of Scripture.”

M U N T H E R I S A A C is the academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College in Palestine and director of the Christ at the Checkpoint conference. He is also pastor of Christmas Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem. He is the author of From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth: A Christ-Centered Biblical Theology of the Promised Land.

Christians have lived in Palestine since the earliest days of the Jesus movement. The Palestinian church predates Islam. Yet Palestinian Christians find themselves marginalized and ostracized. In the heated tensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the voices of Palestinian Christians are often unheard and ignored.

This remarkable book provides an opportunity to hear the realities of life on the ground from a leading Palestinian pastor and theologian. Munther Isaac gives the perspective of Palestinian Christians on the other side of the separation wall surrounding most Palestinian West Bank cities today. Isaac laments the injustices suffered by the Palestinian people but holds out hope for a just peace and ways to befriend and love his Jewish and Muslim neighbors. In contrast to the dominant religious and nationalistic ideologies and agendas for the region, he offers a theology of the land and a vision for a shared land that belongs to God, where there are no second-class citizens of any kind.

“This book is my invitation to you,” Isaac writes, “to allow me to share how Palestinians experience God, read the Bible, and have been touched and liberated by Jesus—a fellow Bethlehemite who has challenged us to see others as neighbors and love them as ourselves. . . . I invite you to join and listen, on our side of the wall.”

N E W I N J U N E

“There is a wall encircling Bethlehem. It is both a reality (made of cement and nine meters high) and a symbol for the life of

Palestinian Christians and Muslims: walled, occupied, segregated. In this remarkable book, Munther Isaac takes us behind that wall and offers us a glimpse into things that are generally kept from

view. He tells a story that is as compelling as it is heart wrenching, a story that every Christian needs to understand to grasp

one seemingly endless conflict in the Middle East.”

G A R Y M . B U R G E , author of Whose Land? Whose Promise?

Offers a unique evangelical Christian Palestinian perspective

Provides a Palestinian Christian theology of the Holy Land, occupation, and conflict

A sobering lament for the realities on the ground, yet hopeful about justice and peacemaking

T I M S O E R E N S is a pastor, social entrepreneur, and the cofounding director of the Parish Collective. He is also the coauthor, with Paul Sparks and Dwight Friesen, of The New Parish. He lives in Seattle with his wife, Maria-Jose, and their two boys.

What’s the point of the church anyway?

The emerging generation is opting out of the church in large numbers. They’re embarrassed at how the church is portrayed in the media and dismayed at what appears to be their options for participation. Is church really necessary anymore? Is it even possible?

Tim Soerens sees this unsettled state of affairs as an opportunity: the church, he says, is on the edge of new and exciting possibilities. In his extensive travels in all kinds of neighborhoods, Soerens has seen the beginnings of this movement firsthand. In Everywhere You Look, he lays out practical, actionable steps for building collaborative communities in any neighborhood.

Here is a vision of the church forged in a grassroots movement of ordinary people living out the church in their everyday lives. Read this book—and join the movement.

N E W I N J U LY

“Everyone knows it is a hard time for the church in our culture. . . . In the face of that hard time, Soerens has written a book that

teems with hope and possibility for the future, a hope that the church need not reiterate our mistaken past, and a possibility that

real people in real time and real circumstance can live out the why of God. . . . I finished reading the book with exhilaration for

what lies ahead for the church. Now is no time for regret or anxiety. Now is a time for recovery of the newness

of what is old and best in our tradition.”

W A LT E R B R U E G G E M A N N , from the foreword

S U Z A N N E S T A B I L E is a highly sought-after speaker and Enneagram Master teacher. She is the coauthor with author Ian Morgan Cron of the bestseller The Road Back to You, and she is the creator and host of The Enneagram Journey podcast. When she is not on the road teaching and lecturing, Suzanne is at home in Dallas, Texas, with her husband, Rev. Joseph Stabile, a United Methodist pastor with whom she co-founded Life in the Trinity Ministry and the Micah Center.

“One of the reasons it’s so important to me that people learn the Enneagram is that this wisdom helps us to choose a reaction,” says Suzanne Stabile, author of The Path Between Us, in her Enneagram training seminars. “And when you don’t know the Enneagram, reactions often choose you.”

This is just one of the fresh insights drawn from Stabile’s teaching that have been included in this journal. Also included are brief quotes from The Path Between Us and The Path Between Us Study Guide.

The pages of this high-quality journal are lined, and a ribbon marker is included. But what’s most important here is the space for you. There’s space to record what you are learning from the Enneagram. Space to deepen your own self-understanding. Space to apply the spiritual wisdom of the Enneagram.

Suzanne teaches: “You can’t change how you see. You can only change what you do with how you see.” Are you ready to record your journey?

M A R L E N A G R A V E S is a writer and adjunct professor. She also works at Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC). Marlena holds an MDiv from Northeastern Seminary in Rochester, New York, and is a graduate of the Renovaré Institute. She has been a bylined writer for Christianity Today, (in)courage, womenleaders.com, and Our Daily Bread, and she is also the author of A Beautiful Disaster.

“Now, with God’s help, I shall become myself.”

These words from Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard resonate deeply with Marlena Graves, a Puerto Rican writer, pastor, and activist. In these pages she describes the process of emptying herself that allows her to move upward toward God and become the true self that God calls her to. Drawing on the rich traditions of Eastern and Western Christian saints, she shares stories and insights that have enlivened her transformation.

For Marlena, formation and justice always intertwine on the path to a balanced life of both action and contemplation. If you long for more of God, this book offers a time-honored path to deeper life.

He holds a PhD in the history of Christian thought from Marquette University. His books include Leadership Today and Life After Grief.

“Eva not breathing. Pray.”

That text message was Mel Lawrenz’s entry into the harsh reality of losing his thirty-year-old daughter. Things would never be the same. How could he and his family cope with this devastating loss?

You or someone you care about may have experienced a terrible, unexpected loss. You are stunned, shocked, leveled. You feel surges of sadness and fear. You have questions and regrets. You keep wondering “what if . . . ?” These are common experiences of anyone whose life has been turned upside down by a traumatic loss.

In this narrative of grief, Pastor Mel Lawrenz chronicles how his family struggled to survive the sudden death of their beloved daughter. In raw, vivid episodes, he describes the immediacy of the pain and the uncertainty of what comes next. In the agony of loss, Lawrenz apprehends the realities of love and life and offers insights on how any of us can arrange our life priorities before tragedy hits.

You are not alone. You too can find a way forward.

A C H R O N I C L E O F G R I E FFINDING LIFE AFTER TRAUMATIC LOSS

A L O O K I N S I D E

This book could be difficult reading. In the months that followed our daughter’s death, I knew I had to be brutally honest. That to receive full comfort, I had to gaze straight ahead at the pain. I had a strong desire to find the solid ground of faith in God beneath my feet, but I knew that voicing mindless spiritual clichés would be like blowing bubbles. Platitudes fall flat. There are things we can do to survive, and more. We need to find those ways.

Too often, political questions are framed in impossible ways for the faithful Christian: we’re forced to choose between social justice and biblical values, between supporting women and opposing abortion. It’s easy for Christians to grow disillusioned with civic engagement or fall back into tribal extremes. This state of affairs has damaged Christian public witness and divided the church.

Representing the AND Campaign, these authors lay out the biblical case for political engagement and help Christians navigate the complex world of politics with integrity, from political messaging and the politics of race to protests, advocacy, and more. When we understand our civic engagement as a way to obey Christ’s call to love our neighbor, we see that it is possible to engage the political process with both love and truth—compassion and conviction.

Nones claim no religion. Dones have become disillusioned and left the church. Research shows many young adults are landing in one of these camps. But that’s not the end of the story. Many emerging adults, ages eighteen to thirty-three, are tossing aside the none and done labels and are instead embracing a transformative Christian faith.

Based on her extensive research, scholar-practitioner Beth Seversen outlines a model for how to engage and retain millennials and Generation Z in the life of the local church. Emerging adults are likely to experience spiritual transformation in churches that welcome them into community, provide meaningful opportunities to make a difference, and invest in their development.

Whether you’re a senior pastor or a youth minister, a parent or an educator, Not Done Yet will open your eyes to the generational barriers to vibrant faith while equipping you with insights to make your outreach to emerging adults more authentic and impactful.

N O T D O N E Y E TREACHING AND KEEPING UNCHURCHED EMERGING ADULTS


Churches I researched for this project are writing a new narrative: emerging adults like Jesus and they also like church. . . .

Through interviews with young new Christians and their pastors across North America, I found that churches reaching and keeping unchurched emerging adults have attitudes and practices in common. Churches seeing faith develop among unchurched young adults share similar social and cultural patterns—patterns other churches can adopt and learn. Some churches are effectively making connections. Some are even connecting with emerging adults who have never set foot in a church building or have given up on the church.

This book aims to identify why these churches stand out when it comes to understanding emerging adults, how they make Christian faith, community, and service attractive to them, and how they guide them along the path to spiritual transformation.

When we experience frustrations in daily life, we often hold ourselves to blame. Self-criticism is often our default setting. But we can have a more gracious posture toward ourselves. We can practice disciplines of self-kindness.

Editor and spiritual director Cindy Bunch calls us to self-care through greater compassion for ourselves. She helps us pay attention to the frustrations that bug us in order to identify negative thinking about ourselves or others. As we do so, we can discern what we need to let go. This allows us to lean into the things that bring us joy. Each chapter is filled with spiritual practices and creative exercises for reflection and celebration.

Be kind to yourself. And discover new opportunities to embrace joy.

N E W I N J U LY

“’What’s bugging you? What’s bringing you joy?’ With these two simple questions, Cindy Bunch, like an experienced mariner,

masterfully steers us through the choppy seas of negative self-talk and disheartening feelings that we all know so well. . . . This is

wise and practical spiritual formation at its best!”

A L B E R T H A A S E , O F M , author of Becoming an Ordinary Mystic

“[Cindy] has shared with us generous portions of herself—her own story, her honest struggles, and the practices that have helped her

endure and find joy in the midst of it all. Since all of us have our own stories that include joy and pain, gladness and sadness,

this is something we all need.”

From the foreword by R U T H H A L E Y B A R T O N , founding president of the Transforming Center

“Be Kind to Yourself is a lovely gift of grace. I love that it is filled with practices to help act as antidotes for difficult times. This really is a sweet treasure to reach for when life is feeling especially unkind;

it’s guaranteed to inspire a new perspective.”

Most Christians have experienced the “laundry list” phase of spiritual life, in which praying means giving God an agenda of needs to handle. But how do you move to having real conversation with God? How do you hear what God is saying back to you? How can you make your experience of God’s presence part of everyday life?

In this six-session LifeGuide® Bible Study, Jan Johnson covers the disciplines of prayer and of practicing God’s presence. Going deeper in these areas will help you to draw closer to God in everything you do.

Shallow breathing or even a feeling that you can’t breathe. Constant negative thoughts. Inability to focus.

Most of us relate in some way to these feelings. Anxiety is that vague feeling that something isn’t right, that something bad may happen. Worry becomes an all-consuming part of life. In this eight-session LifeGuide® Bible Study, nurse and Bible study writer Skip McDonald looks at a variety of Old Testament and New Testament Scripture passages that cover experiences of general anxiety, worry, and panic.

Ince is a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary and holds a DMin from Covenant Theological Seminary.

The church is at its best when it pursues the biblical value of unity in diversity.

Our world has been torn asunder by racial, ethnic, and ideological differences. Sadly, the church has often reinforced these ethnic and racial divides. To cast off the ugliness of disunity and heal our fractured humanity, we must cultivate spiritual practices that help us pursue beautiful community.

In The Beautiful Community, pastor and theologian Irwyn Ince boldly unpacks the reasons for our divisions while gently guiding us toward our true hope for wholeness and reconciliation. God reveals himself to us in his trinitarian life as the perfection of beauty, and the gospel imperative to pursue the beautiful community—unity in diversity across lines of difference—is rooted in reflecting the beautiful community of our triune God. This book calls us into and provides tools for that pursuit.

He is the coauthor of Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers and the author of Strangers at My Door, The Awakening of Hope, The Wisdom of Stability, and The New Monasticism. He is also the coauthor, with Rev. Dr. William Barber II, of The Third Reconstruction.

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove grew up in the Bible Belt in the American South as a faithful churchgoing Christian. But he gradually came to realize that the gospel his Christianity proclaimed was not good news for everybody. His Christianity, he discovered, was the religion of the slaveholder.

Just as Reconstruction after the Civil War worked to repair a desperately broken society, our compromised Christianity requires a spiritual reconstruction that undoes the injustices of the past. Wilson-Hartgrove traces his journey from the religion of the slaveholder to the Christianity of Christ. Grappling seriously with troubling history and theology, Wilson-Hartgrove recovers the subversiveness of the gospel that sustained the church through centuries of slavery and oppression, from the civil rights era to the Black Lives Matter movement and beyond.

With an MPhil and DPhil from Oxford University, she is also a popular professor and international speaker appearing at campuses worldwide, from the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove to 100 Huntley Street.

Weber has served as faculty at Oxford University, Seattle University, University of San Francisco, and Westmont College, and was the first female dean of St. Peter’s College, Oxford. She currently teaches at Heritage College and Seminary and Brescia University College in Canada.

When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn’t expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love.

In this book we follow Weber through courtship and into marriage and parenthood. Now a literature professor, Weber reflects on her relationship with a sometimes-absent father and how that has shaped her. Through her personal story, as well as spiritual, theological, and literary reflection, Sex and the City of God explores what life looks like when we choose to love God first.

Just the summer before, I had been preparing to leave my hometown and all I had ever known to study at Oxford University in England. My life, so it seemed to me, was all mapped out: I would complete the two-year master’s program at Oxford and then return to do my doctorate in Canada, most likely Montreal, where I could easily take the train to visit my family and be close to Ben’s place of graduate studies. Ben and I would marry, I would become a professor of literature, and we may or may not have children. We hadn’t really given that any thought—we were much too preoccupied with our studies and career plans. The future was all tied up with a nice bow.

Why, then, did I feel like the ribbon was unraveling shortly after arriving in England? And what gift overflowed from the box in which it refused to be contained?

A generation of young Christians are weary of the political legacy they’ve inherited and are hungry for a better approach.

They’re tired of seeing their faith tied to political battles they didn’t start, and they’re frustrated with leaders they thought they could trust. Kaitlyn Schiess grew up in this landscape, and understands it from the inside.

In The Liturgy of Politics, Schiess shows that the church’s politics are shaped by its habits and practices, even when it’s unaware of them. Spiritual formation, and particularly a focus on formative practices, are experiencing a renaissance in Christian thinking—but these ideas are not often applied to the political sphere. Schiess insists that the way out of our political morass is first to recognize the formative power of the political forces all around us, and then to recover historic Christian practices that shape us according to the truth of the gospel.

This is the world in which many young Christians grew up—unaware of how exactly we got here, but fully immersed in a religious subculture with strong political elements. And the 2016 election of Donald Trump prompted backlash from young believers precisely because of this subculture.

They felt betrayed by leaders who had touted the importance of the moral character of politicians and deceived when they read the Bible and discovered that conservative economic and foreign policy principles didn’t fly off its pages. Younger Christians have never tasted the kind of cultural power that previous generations watched deteriorate. The “culture war” approach is unappealing to a generation thoroughly accustomed to a world that labels their religious beliefs “irrelevant” or “backwards.” Instead, many are looking for political engagement that wrestles with the difficulty of applying theological convictions to public life and an approach to culture that does more than condemn.

O S G U I N N E S S was born in China and educated in England. He is the author of more than thirty books, including The Call, Renaissance, Fool’s Talk, Impossible People, and Last Call for Liberty. He has been a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution and a senior fellow at the EastWest Institute. A frequent speaker, prominent social critic, and passionate advocate of freedom of religion and conscience, he has addressed audiences worldwide.

In 1968, at the climax of the sixties, Os Guinness visited the United States for the first time. There he was struck by an impression he’d already felt in England and elsewhere: beneath all the idealism and struggle for freedom was a growing disillusionment and loss of meaning. “Underneath the efforts of a generation,” he wrote, “lay dust.” Even more troubling, Christians seemed uninformed about the cultural shifts and ill-equipped to respond. Guinness took on these concerns by writing his first book, The Dust of Death.

In this milestone work, leading social critic Guinness provides a wide-ranging, farsighted analysis of one of the most pivotal decades in Western history, the 1960s. He examines the twentieth-century developments of secular humanism, the technological society, and the alternatives offered by the counterculture, including radical politics, Eastern religions, and psychedelic drugs. As all of these options have increasingly failed to deliver on their promises, Guinness argues, westerners desperately need another alternative—a Third Way. This way “holds the promise of realism without despair, involvement without frustration, hope without romanticism.” It offers a stronger humanism, one with a solid basis for its ideals, combining truth and beauty. And this Third Way can be found only in the rediscovery and revival of the historic Christian faith.

First published in 1973, The Dust of Death is now back in print as part of the IVP Signature Collection, featuring a new design and new preface by the author. This classic will help readers of every generation better understand the cultural trajectory that continues to shape us and how Christians can still offer a better way.

Can the Christian life be lived alone?

After her husband became an agnostic, Stina Kielsmeier-Cook was left “spiritually single”—struggling to live the Christian life on her own, taking her kids to church by herself, and wrestling with her own questions and doubts.

In this memoir, Kielsmeier-Cook tells the story of her mixed-faith marriage and how she found community in an unexpected place: an order of Catholic nuns in her neighborhood. As she spent time with them, and learned about female Catholic saints, she began to see that she was not “spiritually single” after all—and that no one really is.

B L E S S E D A R E T H E N O N E SMIXED-FAITH MARRIAGE AND MY SEARCH FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY


If the person you married is the one whose faith changed, I am here to say you’re not alone. What the church people don’t tell you is that, in any marriage, the person you wed will not be the same person you wake up with in five years, nor the same person who brings you coffee in fifteen years. That, in itself, of course, is not a bad thing—you imagine your partner will pick up an interesting new hobby (kitesurfing! CrossFit!). What you don’t imagine is that one day your spouse will look you dead in the eye and say, “I don’t believe in God anymore.” Your husband was supposed to start kickboxing, get wrinkles, lose his hair, change careers. The premarital counseling didn’t warn you that this might be coming, that your deep, shared spiritual reservoir might be siphoned off. Or rather, that he would close off his access, fill in the well, walk away from the tradition of looking and seeking and praying and joining with all the other tired sinners who are desperate for hope.

Sometimes relationships don’t survive these kinds of changes. But it is possible that the vows, even ones made in the name of the God that one of you no longer believes in, can still hold. That even if he leaves God, God won’t leave him. And that even if the vows eventually do break, that God will never leave you.

D O R O T H Y L I T T E L L G R E C O is a writer and professional photographer living near Boston. The author of Making Marriage Beautiful, Dorothy and her husband lead retreats and have been helping couples sustain healthy marriages for over twenty years.

Midlife is a season of challenge and change—professionally, relationally, physically, and spiritually.

On our better days, we experience a sense of growing clarity and satisfaction about who we are. We might even be coming to terms with our limitations and vulnerabilities, letting go of some dreams and creating new ones. But many days, we are overwhelmed and exhausted by the intense transitions of this season, leaving us feeling off-balance and insecure. And these challenges reverberate through our marriages, making us wonder how we’re going to survive.

Though many assume that “midlife” is synonymous with “crisis,” Dorothy Littell Greco reminds us that it doesn’t have to be that way. The demands of midlife actually force us to adjust and adapt, providing new opportunities for discovery and growth within our marriages.

With vulnerability and insight, Marriage in the Middle will inspire and encourage you to invest in your relationship with your spouse, enabling you both to thrive as you face the challenges and changes of this era together.

M A R R I A G E I N T H E M I D D L EEMBRACING MIDLIFE SURPRISES, CHALLENGES, AND JOYS


Congratulations for making it to the middle of life while married.

No single narrative could possibly encompass all of our lives. We might be unemployed, launching an encore career, retired, well established in the job of our dreams, or homeschooling young children. Some of us are training for marathons while others are recovering from heart attacks. We might be choosing pre- or high schools for our kids, grad schools for ourselves, and assisted living facilities for our parents—all in the same month. Some of us are newlyweds, some are newly remarried, and others are celebrating thirty or even forty years together. And as it pertains to marriage, we might be hitting our stride or wondering if our marriage is going to make it.

All of these life issues reverberate through our marriages, inviting us to re-evaluate our dreams and re-invest in one another. Though often disquieting, the disequilibrium can become a gift.

N I K O L E L I M is a speaker, educator, and consultant on leveraging dignity through the restorative art of storytelling. She is the cofounder and international director of Freely in Hope, a nonprofit organization seeking to restore dignity to survivors of sexual violence by providing educational opportunities and platforms for women to fulfill their dreams. Nikole consults regularly with international organizations including The Salvation Army, International Justice Mission, and Hope International.

As a freelance filmmaker, Nikole Lim’s career allowed her to step in and out of the lives of marginalized people around the world. But when confronted with the prevalence of sexual violence in Kenyan and Zambian communities, she committed to advocating alongside the courageous survivors whose lives have intersected with her own. These women’s powerful stories inspired her to embark on a new vocation.

Partnering with her Kenyan and Zambian sisters, Lim launched Freely in Hope, an organization focused on equipping survivors to end the cycle of sexual violence throughout Africa through faith, education, and self-empowerment. As Lim sought to provide liberation for her African sisters, her perspective was altered. Exhausted and deathly ill, she witnessed her friends becoming her healers—the once oppressed become her liberators.

From the slums of Nairobi, hospitals of Lusaka, killing fields of Kigali, and back alleys of Barcelona, Lim weaves together stories in a narrative of God’s grace and healing amid fear and trauma. Her journey proves that liberation is not just near, but it is here—in the eyes of the broken, the hearts of the oppressed, and the untold stories of our global community.


“It’s rare when a storyteller uses multiple mediums to communicate a thought or message, but that is exactly what Nikole Lim does in Liberation Is Here! Using powerful words and visual imagery, she

becomes a storyteller of transformation—both hers and others—to make us see faith in new ways. Liberation isn’t for some; it’s for all.

Liberation isn’t far way; it’s here and now.”

A L A S T A I R S T E R N E is the founding and lead pastor of St. Peter’s Fireside in Vancouver and serves as canon of church planting for the Anglican Network in Canada. He also serves on the board of Always Forward, the church planting initiative of the Anglican Church in North America. He lives in Vancouver with his wife and children.

Who are you becoming? And how will you get there?

Spiritual transformation is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Each of us has a particular identity, gifts, values, roles, and purpose. Thus we each need distinct spiritual rhythms that are designed to help us live out that vocation and calling.

Alastair Sterne shows how we can craft a life of more intentionality, becoming Christlike in ways that fit who we are. First we discover who God made us to be, in all our distinctiveness. Then we enter into spiritual practices that flow out of that particular sense of identity, with fourfold rhythms that point us upward to God, inward to self, withward in community, and outward in mission. Our vocation is our identity uniquely lived out before God, bringing our being and doing together.

You can live a life that is more aligned with who you are meant to be. Discover spiritual rhythms that move at the pace of grace and align you with your unique identity and calling in Christ.

“Who did God make me to be? is seldom asked. We tend to focus on our sins, weaknesses, and inabilities. And even

How can the people of God develop churches in ways that help and don’t hurt poor neighborhoods?

In urban ministry, Christians too often treat the poor as goodwill projects instead of people. Because of this mindset, many remain unchurched. Healthy, local, urban churches are needed because they combine personal empowerment and community transformation.

Every poor neighborhood needs uncommon churches that will seek the common good of their communities. Alvin Sanders engages hard truths about these neighborhoods and provides a model for how to do ministry in difficult conditions. The local, urban church is the key to community transformation, as it plays three crucial roles of empowering, partnering, and reaching.

Pastors and church planters interested in Christian community development will find here practical insights into the power of the local church, which is often underrated. Churches can serve their communities and improve the quality of life of every facet of the neighborhood.

U N C O M M O N C H U R C HCOMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD


This book is for people who believe in the power of the local church to make a difference in the lives of the urban poor. When we look at people who fight for justice for the poor, many come from Christian backgrounds. However, in my three decades of working in the space, I’ve seen that the American church has a philosophical problem. In urban ministry too many treat the poor as goodwill projects to advocate for instead of people to be God’s witnesses among. They are not mutually exclusive. Poverty is a condition people live in that needs to be addressed from a godly perspective. In this book we will engage hard truths about poor neighborhoods and provide pathways on how to do ministry in those conditions.

C A L V I N M I L L E R (1936–2012) was a pastor, professor, and storyteller. He wrote more than forty books and was best known for The Singer Trilogy, a mythic retelling of the New Testament story.

A N D R E W T. L E P E A U is a writer and an editor living in the Chicago area. He is the coauthor of several Bible study guides and author of Write Better and Mark Through Old Testament Eyes.

“In the beginning was the song of love.” In this timeless classic, Calvin Miller retells the story of Jesus through an allegorical poem about a Singer whose song could not be silenced.

Since it was first published in 1975, The Singer has left an indelible impression on Christian literature and offered believers and seekers the world over a deeply personal encounter with the gospel. With a new foreword by Jeffrey Crosby, IVP publisher, and an updated interior design, The Singer is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection.

These eight easy-to-use studies will engage your imagination and deepen your understanding as you encounter the true Singer, Father-Spirit, World Hater, and Ancient Star-Song in the pages of the Gospels.

Each session features quotations from The Singer matched with Scripture passages, reflection questions, and application ideas that will equip readers to connect the text to their own lives. A leader’s guide and list of suggested resources are also included.

H U N T E R M O B L E Y divides his time between practicing and teaching law in Nashville and offering Enneagram training at churches and businesses. Former executive pastor of Christ Church Nashville, Hunter completed an apprenticeship with Suzanne Stabile as formation for his Enneagram teaching ministry and coleads a year-long cohort in contemplative spirituality with Joe Stabile at the Micah Center in Dallas.

C H R I S T O P H E R L . H E U E R T Z is the author of The Sacred Enneagram and The Enneagram of Belonging and currently serves as an International Enneagram Association Accredited Professional. He and his wife, Phileena, founded Gravity, a Center for Contemplative Activism, in Omaha.

What is it like to be an Enneagram Two?

Pastor, attorney, and Enneagram speaker Hunter Mobley reflects on this question with a mix of self-compassion and hunger for personal growth. Using the metaphor of a welcoming Southern porch, he describes Twos this way: “We have well curated our reputations as people who can be counted on. We’re the people of yes! But beyond our front porches and living rooms is a diversity of unexpressed and unmet feelings and needs. Tiredness, loneliness, grief, disappointment, and longing live beside joy, gratitude, and hope in the kitchens, dens, and bedrooms of our houses.”

These forty daily readings are an opportunity to explore both the shadow and the light that radiates from the front porches of our personality and deeper into the soul that lies within. Whether or not you are a Two, you will enhance your relationships across the Enneagram spectrum when you explore each number. You can engage with each reading with exercises such as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a written prayer, or a spiritual practice.

Pastor and speaker Sean Palmer reflects on this question in a spirit of honest self-assessment and with a desire for personal and spiritual growth. He draws wisdom from the deep wells of both counseling and spirituality using illustrations from both Scripture and life.

Each of the forty daily readings concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a written prayer, or a spiritual practice.

Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a Three, you will grow from your reading about Threes and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.

His books include The Reign and Rejection of King Saul: A Case for Literary and Theological Coherence, The Art of Biblical History, the edited volumes Israel’s Past in Present Research and Windows into Old Testament History, and 1 and 2 Samuel in the Illustrated Bible Background Commentary.

G A V I N O R T L U N D is senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Ojai in Ojai, California. He was previously a research fellow for the Creation Project at the Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the author of Theological Retrieval for Evangelicals and Anselm’s Pursuit of Joy.

The stories of Samuel, Saul, and David are among the most memorable in the Old Testament. Yet the lives of these individuals are bound up in the larger story of God’s purpose for his people.

In this Tyndale Old Testament commentary, V. Philips Long explores the meaning of the biblical history of Israel’s vital transition from a confederation of tribes to nationhood under a king. He shows how attending to the books of Samuel repays its readers richly in terms of literary appreciation, historical knowledge, and theological grounding.

How might premodern exegesis of Genesis inform Christian debates about creation today?

Pastor and theologian Gavin Ortlund retrieves Augustine’s reading of Genesis 1–3 and considers how his premodern understanding of creation can help Christians today. Ortlund contends that while Augustine’s hermeneutical approach and theological questions might differ from those of today, this church father’s humility before Scripture and his theological conclusions can shed light on matters such as evolution, animal death, and the historical Adam and Eve.

He is the songwriter of more than fifty worship songs, including “Your Name” and “Mystery of Faith,” and the author of several books, including Blessed Broken Given and Discover the Mystery of Faith.

Wrestling with questions of context is essential for how we understand mission, theology, and the embodiment of the Christian faith. Showcasing many German missiological works available in English for the first time, this longitudinal study tackles the history and dynamics of contextualization and sheds new light on the state of missiology today.

The Christian faith is a hopeful faith. Founded on the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Christian hope declares that the triune God’s merciful promises will ultimately be fulfilled despite the suffering and evil that people encounter here and now. How is that hope both expressed and experienced in the church’s worship?

Pastor, theologian, and songwriter Glenn Packiam explores what it means for Christians to gather together to worship God and declare their hope on a weekly basis, and how contemporary worship in particular cultivates Christian hope. Under his guidance, we find that Christian worship is hopeful worship.

J A M E S W . S I R E (1933–2018) was a widely respected apologist, author, and lecturer. His many books include Naming the Elephant: Worldview as a Concept, Apologetics Beyond Reason, Habits of the Mind, and the seminal text The Universe Next Door, which has sold over 350,000 copies.

M A R K R . L I N D S A Y is Joan F. W. Munro Professor of Historical Theology at Trinity College Theological School at the University of Divinity in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of Reading Auschwitz with Barth; Barth, Israel and Jesus; and Covenanted Solidarity.

For more than forty years, The Universe Next Door has set the standard for a clear, readable introduction to worldviews. This classic textbook uses James Sire’s widely influential model of eight basic worldview questions to examine prominent worldviews that have shaped the Western world, critiquing each worldview within its own frame of reference and in comparison to others.

The sixth edition, updated by Sire's longtime editor Jim Hoover, features new explanatory sidebars, helpful charts comparing worldviews and illustrating their historical flow, and a chapter on challenges to a Christian worldview in the twenty-first century. New discussion questions will help readers reflect more deeply on the ideas in each chapter.

Among the traditional tenets of the Christian faith is the belief that God chooses or elects people for salvation. Throughout the church’s history, Christians have sought to understand the meaning of relevant biblical texts and debated this theological conundrum.

With care and insight, theologian Mark Lindsay surveys the development of the Christian doctrine of election. After exploring Scripture on this theme, he turns to the various articulations of this doctrine from the early church fathers, including Augustine, and medieval theologians such as Aquinas, to John Calvin’s view, the subsequent debate between Calvinists and Arminians, and Karl Barth’s modern reconception of the doctrine.

Christians desperately need to name and expose the modern-day false gods of prosperity, nationalism, and self-interest. We must retrieve the biblical emphasis on idolatry and apply it anew in our journey of following Jesus.

Combining a biblical study of idolatry with practical discipleship, Old Testament scholar Christopher J. H. Wright calls readers to consider connections between Old Testament patterns and today’s culture, especially recurring temptations to trust in political power. Now as much as ever, we need a biblically informed understanding of how God calls us to join him in the battle against idolatry.

It’s time to rethink the Christian life in light of current research on the human mind, particularly with a deeper understanding of “extended cognition.” Using insights from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, psychologists Brad Strawn and Warren Brown argue for a vision of the Christian life as extended into interactions with a local network of believers.

The Bible was written within collectivist cultures, and it’s easy for Westerners to misinterpret—or miss—important elements. This is an essential guidebook to the cultural background of the Bible and how it should inform our reading.

Expanding on the popular Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes, E. Randolph Richards and Richard James explore deep social structures of the ancient Mediterranean—kinship, patronage, and brokerage—along with their key social tools of honor, shame, and boundaries that the biblical authors lived in and lie below the surface of each text.

Deep within the human psyche lies a sense that we were made for something more than this broken world. We all share an experience of exile—of longing for our true home.

In Rebels and Exiles, Matthew S. Harmon explores how the theme of sin and exile is developed throughout Scripture. He traces a common pattern of human rebellion, God’s judgment, and the hope of restored relationship, beginning with the first humans and concluding with the end of exile in a new creation. In this story we encounter the remarkable grace of a God who wants to dwell with his people, and we learn how to live well as exiles in a fallen world.

G A R Y M . B U R G E is dean of the faculty and professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary. His books include The New Testament in Seven Sentences, A Week in the Life of a Roman Centurion, and the award-winning Whose Land? Whose Promise?

Although the practice of reading Scripture has often become separated from its ecclesial context, theologian Derek Taylor argues that it rightly belongs to the disciplines of the community of faith. He finds a leading example of this approach in the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who regarded the reading of Scripture as an inherently communal exercise of discipleship.

In conversation with other theologians, including John Webster, Robert Jenson, and Stanley Hauerwas, Taylor contends that Bonhoeffer’s approach to Scripture can engender the practices and habits of a faithful hermeneutical community. Today, as in Bonhoeffer’s time, the church is called to take up and read.

Every student asks questions about life beyond the classroom—how can I discern my vocation? How should I understand marriage and sex? How should I relate to money and power? What happens if I doubt my faith?

To help students navigate these questions about some of life’s most pressing and difficult issues, Gary M. Burge and David Lauber, coeditors of Theology Questions Everyone Asks, have gathered insights from Christian faculty who draw on their own experiences in conversation with students during office hours and over coffee.

M . E L I Z A B E T H L E W I S H A L L is professor of psychology at Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University and serves as associate editor for Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.

C A T H E R I N E J . W R I G H T is associate professor of biblical and theological studies at Bethel University. She specializes in New Testament studies and is particularly interested in the Gospel of Luke and spiritual formation.

While many sanctification models are fragmented and individualistic, the relational paradigm paints a coherent picture of both process and goal, supported by both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge research.

Integrating insights from psychology and theology, this book lays out the basis for relational spiritual transformation and how it works practically in the context of relationships and community. Highlighting key characteristics of spiritual communities that foster transformation, Hall and Hall equip spiritual leaders and practitioners to more effectively facilitate spiritual growth for themselves and those they serve.

Spiritual Practices of Jesus explores Luke’s portrait of the spirituality of Jesus, focusing on the themes of simplicity, humility, and prayer in his life and teaching. After setting the cultural and historical scene, Catherine Wright considers how Jesus models these three values and then explores how different readers have understood and employed key Lukan passages for spiritual formation, starting with Luke’s first-century audience and tracing the reception of these texts in the ancient church.

Demonstrating a theological interpretation of Jesus’ spirituality grounded in church tradition, this accessible book combines New Testament studies and spiritual formation to provide fresh insight into the biblical text.

What does it mean to provide leadership for the church in an increasingly secular context?

Gordon Smith is passionate about the need for capable, mature leaders to navigate and respond to a changing society. After analyzing the phenomenon of secularization in the West and charting common Christian responses, Smith introduces four sources of wisdom to help guide us through this new terrain, identifying practices and strategies that can give shape to faithful, alternate communities in such a time as this. Educators, church leaders, and anyone seeking to understand the times will find here an indispensable resource for cultivating distinctively Christian leadership.

For many Christians, the traditional approach of apologetics has grown stale. In light of the current secular climate, as described by Charles Taylor and others, rhetorical strategies that previously served the church and apologists well are no longer effective.

Justin Bailey seeks to address this dilemma by infusing apologetics with an appeal to the imagination, the aesthetic, and the affective. Demonstrating that this is possible, he engages with two examples of those who have done apologetics through the imagination: George MacDonald and Marilynne Robinson. By beginning with the imaginative and the aesthetic dimensions of faith before expounding proofs, Bailey argues, hearers of the good news will find both their hearts and their minds engaged.

Can Christians take seriously the claims of modern science without compromising their theological integrity? Science and the Doctrine of Creation examines how influential modern theologians—from the turn of the nineteenth century through the present—have engaged the scientific developments of their times in light of the doctrine of creation. In each chapter a leading Christian thinker introduces readers to the unique contributions of a key theologian in responding to the assumptions, claims, and methods of science.

This book grows out of the Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding’s Creation Project, which promotes biblically faithful and scientifically engaged dialogue around the doctrine of creation.

For Christians, the Old Testament often presents a conundrum. Theologians and laypeople throughout church history have struggled to define it, interpret it, and reconcile it with the New Testament.

Laying a foundation for constructive study of the Old Testament, Duane A. Garrett surveys three primary methods Christians have used to handle the Old Testament, from the church fathers to today: hermeneutical, schematic, and conceptual. Garrett also explores major interpretive topics such as the nature of the law, the function of election and covenants, and how prophecy works, boldly offering a way forward that is faithful to the text and to the Christian faith.

T H O M A S B R E I M A I E R is tutor in systematic theology and history at Spurgeon’s College in London. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, he holds degrees from Moody Bible Institute and College Graduate School and is a book review editor for the Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology.

“Tethered to the cross” is how Charles H. Spurgeon, the renowned nineteenth-century English Baptist minister, described the task of ministry and his approach to preaching.

For nearly four decades, Spurgeon (1834–1892) served as the pastor of the church at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. But what guided the reading of Scripture by the man known as the “Prince of Preachers”?

Tracing the development of Spurgeon’s thought and his approach to biblical hermeneutics throughout his ministry, theologian and historian Thomas Breimaier argues that Spurgeon viewed the entire Bible through the lens of the cross of Christ. This method led Spurgeon to interpret texts in a consistent fashion, resulting in sermons, articles, and instruction that employed cross-centered language, which was aimed at the conversion of unbelievers.

With Breimaier’s guidance, better understanding how Spurgeon approached the task of interpreting Scripture and preaching the gospel might enable us, too, to be tethered to the cross of Christ.


“Thomas Breimaier’s Tethered to the Cross: The Life and Preaching of Charles H. Spurgeon is the most important

scholarly study of Spurgeon that has ever been written. It is the very best place to start for anyone who wants to study Spurgeon. . . .

Whatever you think of Spurgeon—even if you dislike him— if you want to study him, this book is essential for you.

If you love Spurgeon, however, you will love this book.”

IVP has intentionally published and pursued authors of color for decades, as well as consistently

addressing issues of justice, race, and ethnic identity through the years. We also believe it's important

to learn from authors who are people of color on issues and topics that speak to the whole church.

Our organizational commitment to multiethnicity is one of our core values, and it’s also

an approach that is unique in the world of Christian publishing.
