Single Together
In Single Together, Lisa LaGeorge shares how to steward singleness in the family of God. Rather than viewing singleness as a season defined by what is missing, she presents it as an opportunity to faithfully steward our lives, relationships, resources, and calling for the glory of God.
Brave Faith for Hard Things
In Brave Faith for Hard Things, Michele Howe writes a devotional on finding sacred purpose in ordinary suffering. This book will guide you through life’s difficult journeys—the paths that are hard to navigate and the roads that are rough terrain. Yet God gives us grace and hope for every step.
Consider the Night Sky
In Consider the Night Sky, Jennifer Grant invites children to learn about outer space and God’s love. This is a beautiful book inspired by Isiah 40:26, Psalm 147:4-5, and Matthew 6:26-34, some of my favorite verses from the Bible.
Stories Woven in Silver
In Stories Woven in Silver, Kathryn Butler and Korrie Johnson point children to the gospel through children’s literature. This book shows how good stories delight us because they reflect the true story—the gospel story—and point us to the hope of the ultimate happy ending: our adoption as God’s children through Christ’s death and resurrection.
The Restoration of All Things
In The Restoration of All Things, Benjamin Vrbicek shares how the promise of Christ’s return brings us comfort today. This is a book about the end times, but it’s not what you might expect. Instead of fear and confusion, it offers hope and reassurance. Interestingly, Vrbicek frames his chapters around different forms of suffering and shows how Christ’s return will turn our pain into praise.
The Pursuit of Holy Leisure
The Pursuit of Holy Leisure by Cara Ray is one of the richest modern books on the Christian life I have ever read. It goes deep while casting a wide vision for how we encounter God in every area of life. If you desire more of God, this book will help you slow down, delight in his presence, and cultivate deeper fellowship with Christ.
Evil Empire?
In Evil Empire?, Christopher S. Chen presents government officials as proponents of the gospel in Luke-Acts and beyond. With excellent research and well-crafted arguments, Chen presents a strong case that government officials can serve the purposes of the gospel. Human rulers are ultimately governed by our King, and they can help advance his kingdom.
Daniel: A Pastoral and Contextual Commentary
Chen’s work on Daniel is insightful and exciting. This book gives biblical precedence and insight into the persecution that happens throughout the world and especially in many Asian countries today. And it lifts our eyes from our troubles today to a cosmic end – when wars will cease, suffering will stop, and the rule and reign of the Lord will become reality.
Becoming a Friendlier Church
In Becoming a Friendlier Church, Matthew D. Kim provides a pathway to genuine community. Kim tackles a problem that affects church attendance, membership, and witness—diagnosing problems and providing specific solutions.
Made to Rest
With biblical support throughout, this short yet powerful book is paradigm-shifting. As a parent of young children, keeping busy with work, and the demands of ministry, I came away refreshed. You will discover a deeper appreciation for God’s design for rest and the confidence that resting in him is not only necessary, but good.

The Pleasures of God
In The Pleasures of God, John Piper proclaims God’s delight in being God. Henry Scougal said that the worth and excellency of a soul are measured by the object of its love. Piper takes this quote and applies it to God. If the pleasures of God are the measure of His excellency or glory, then meditating on these pleasures holds out great hope for being changed into His likeness.
