Engaging God’s Story: Weekly Devotions for the Christian Year (Year A) (2025)
Consistently reading God’s word and cultivating spiritual practices in the home during the week can be a challenge. Engaging God’s Story: Weekly Devotions for the Christian Year (Year A) is a helpful resource that provides weekly Scripture readings, a devotion, questions for reflection, and a prayer of response for each Sunday in the Christian year.
AUTHOR
Lectionary Journey: Worship Aids for the Christian Year (2021)
Lectionary Journey ensures that we are being called into worship, praying, and affirming our faith through the word. It allows Scripture to be woven throughout our corporate worship services, letting its language, narrative, metaphors, themes, teachings, truths, and paradigms form and shape us, week after week.
AUTHOR
The Art of Worship: Opening Our Eyes to the Beauty of the Gospel (2006)
Each and every Lord's Day, there is the potential for moments of spiritual illumination and transformation to occur in the lives of God's people. In the midst of corporate worship -- through the artistic media of story, imagery, and expression -- people's eyes can be opened to the beautiful, paradoxical truth of the gospel.
CONTRIBUTOR
Heirs of the Covenant: A Framework for Discipleship in the Church (2026)
“This book considers how the content of the covenant is lived out in the context of the covenant community, and how it culminates in transformed lives that are passionate to glorify and enjoy God by making disciples who also glorify and enjoy Him” (p. 26).
CONTRIBUTOR
Speaking the Truth in Love: the Theology of John M. Frame (2009)
This is the first large-scale analysis of Frame’s distinctive approach to theology. The essays go into considerable depth, comparing Frame’s conceptual approach with the approaches of others and even applying his ideas to various fields beyond those that he has explored.
CONTRIBUTOR
