Addressing mission, evangelism, and social justice, two pastors draw listeners to the Bible's teaching on some contentious matters. Listeners in all spheres of ministry will grow in their understanding of the mission of the Church and gain a renewed sense of urgency for Jesus' call to preach the Word and make disciples.

Grace - a doctrine central to the gospel - ought to be clearly defined so it can be celebrated, relished, and consistently defended. In this book, Kevin DeYoung leads us back to the Canons of Dort, a 17th-century document originally written to precisely and faithfully define this precious doctrine. The Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to the precise nature of God's supernatural, sovereign, redeeming, resurrecting grace - when so many people settle for vague generalities that water down the truth.

Praying should be as urgent and necessary to us as breathing—yet all too often we're bored by it, distracted from it, or uncertain of its purpose. Yet we have many reasons to be excited about prayer. It is the glue that bonds our hearts to the Lord. God commands us to pray, and he graciously answers our prayers. As we pour out our hearts to him, we and the world around us will be changed. Informative, encouraging, and practical, this brief book will serve as a primer for pastors, elders, study groups, and Christians who seek encouragement and instruction on prayer and its blessings.

Die Bibel ist ein Buch voller spannender Geschichten, über die Kinder immer wieder staunen. Aber es muss noch einen Schritt weitergehen – die Kinder sollen auch sehen, wie all diese Geschichten mit der übergreifenden Botschaft der Bibel zusammenhängen, nämlich Gottes großartigem Plan, sein rebellisches Volk zu erlösen. In Die größte Geschichte führt Kevin DeYoung, Bestsellerautor und selbst Vater von neun Kindern, 4–12-Jährige auf eine spannende Reise durch die Bibel, indem er den Bogen vom Garten Eden über Christi Tod am Kreuz bis hin zum neuen Himmel und der neuen Erde spannt.

The goal of the church should be simple—share the gospel to the ends of the earth. But in our highly politicized age, Christians can tend to place earthly political and social agendas over God's spiritual mission of the church. In Empowered Witness, author Alan D. Strange examines the doctrine of the spirituality of the church, making a clear distinction between the functions of the church and other institutions.
