Theology / Doctrine / Reference

Book Description:   In recent years numerous books have been written on Jesus, books that are shaped by faith or skepticism or follow the Western academic quest for the historical Jesus. The result has been a kaleidoscope of Jesuses, a thicket of viewpoints, some troubling to faith, some puzzling to the intellect, and a few that enrich our vision as they explore familiar terrain from new and promising angles.

Here is a book written by one who for a lifetime has followed Christ with heart, mind, soul and strength. John Stott offers us a vision of Christ whose portrait is discerned in the mosaic pattern of Scripture, whose influence is traced in the great currents of history, and whose compelling call has shaped the story line of ordinary humans who have been charged with extraordinary faith and courage. He is the incomparable Christ.
 

Spirituality / Devotional

Book Description: Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, this guide to understanding Christian manhood and Christian men offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful… and dead.

God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires—aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a “nice guy.” It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be—dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Youth

Every Young Man's Battle
by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoecker
Waterbrook Press

Book Description: In this world you’re surrounded by sexual images that open the door to temptation. They’re everywhere–on TV, billboards, magazines, music, the internet–and so easy to access that it sometimes feels impossible to escape their clutches. Yet God expects his children to be sexually pure. So how can you survive the relentless battle against temptation?

Steve Arterburn and Fred Stoeker, the authors of the hard-hitting best-seller Every Man’s Battle, focus on the temptations young single Christian men face every day–and they offer workable, biblical strategies for achieving sexual purity. The authors examine the standard of Ephesians 5:3–“there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality”–in a positive and sensitive light. And they explain how an authentic, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ is the key to victory over temptation.

Children's / Picture Book

You Are Mine

Book Description: Bigger allowances. Better clothes. More toys.

Bigger, better, more is how the world determines who's special and who's not. It's a message your kids are hearing every day. But it's not God's message.  His truth is simple and never-changing: It's not what you have, it's Whose you are. And it's a truth that the lovable Wemmick, Punchinello, hears again at the knee of his creator in this faithful, fully illustrated sequel to You Are Special. Punchinello's lesson in love will help you speak God's heart to the heart of every child: You are special, not because of the things you have, but because you are Mine.

General / Non-Fiction

Book Review from Harvard Political Review:  Our worldview tells more about us perhaps than any other aspect of our personal history. Nothing has more profound and more far-reaching implications for our lives. Whether we realize it or not, we all embrace some form of either the materialist worldview advocated by [Sigmund] Freud or the spiritual worldview advocated by [C.S.] Lewis."  Dr. Armand Nicholi focuses his examination on what Freud and Lewis have to say about man's most fundamental desires and fears-happiness, sex, love, pain, and death-and their fulfillment as understood by their respective worldviews.  
 

Fiction

Book Description: Mitford's Lord's Chapel seats barely two hundred souls, yet millions of readers will be there for the most joyful occasion in years: the wedding of Father Tim Kavanagh and Cynthia Coppersmith. Will Father Tim fall apart when he takes his vows? Will Cynthia make it to the church on time? Who'll arrange the flowers and bake the wedding cake? Laughter and wedding bells ring as Jan Karon takes her fans back in time to the most cherished event in Mitford! A Common Life is the sixth book in the bestselling Mitford Years series, and the long-awaited answers to these deeply probing questions.

Long Journey Home
by Os Guinness
Waterbrook Press

Book Description: Long Journey Home is a seeker’s road map to the quest for meaning. Rich in stories and profoundly personal as well as practical, it explores the great philosophies of life and charts the road toward meaning taken by countless thoughtful seekers over the centuries. Written for those who care and those who are open, “it assumes no faith in the reader, only the recognition that the humanness of life as a journey is something we should all care about enough to seek to make sense of it and to make up our minds for ourselves.”
