Timothy Keller Updated And Expanded Edition
$22.99The untold story of the people, the books, the lectures, and ultimately the God who formed and shaped the life of the late Timothy Keller–now updated and expanded.
Millions have read books and listened to sermons by Timothy Keller. But who impacted his own thinking, and what shaped his spiritual growth and ministry priorities? With access to Keller’s personal notes and sermons–as well as interviews with family members and longtime friends–Collin Hansen takes readers behind the scenes of one of the 21st century’s most influential church leaders.
For the first time, Hansen introduces readers to Keller’s early years: the home where he learned to tell stories from the trees, the church where he learned to care for souls, and the city that lifted him to the international fame he never wanted.
This unique biography will allow you to:
*Understand the principles and practices that allowed Keller to synthesize so many different influences in a coherent ministry.
*Take the best of Keller’s preaching and teaching to meet emerging challenges in the 21st century.
*Develop your own historical, theological, and cultural perspectives to shape your leadership.
The story of Timothy Keller is the story of his spiritual and intellectual influences, from the woman who taught him how to read the Bible to the professor who taught him to preach Jesus from every text to the philosopher who taught him to see beneath society’s surface.

Gospelbound : Living With Resolute Hope In An Anxious Age
$16.00A profound exploration of faithful hope and the keys to living a joyful, generous faith in a shifting culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders.
Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra offer a robust message of hope for discouraged Christians in a tumultuous time. Rather than encouraging readers to force a trite smile or bury their heads in the sand, they offer another option–a way that is principled and justice-oriented, full of conviction and compassion.
At a time when many are overwhelmed by the seeming decline of Christianity, we need to rediscover the relevance of our historic principles and posture of love toward the world, no matter what is happening around us. Rather than subscribing to a dominant narrative of fear, what would it look like to reclaim our story of sober, joyful hope? Ranging from America’s Deep South to the wild world of digital media, from the stories of ancient saints to those of unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of social justice, Gospelbound shows us how this uncommon hope is already quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus.
Real-life examples from today and from the past give readers the tools they need to navigate the current cultural landscape as a hope-filled opportunity for achievable and lasting change.

Our Secular Age
$18.81Probably no book published in the last decade has been so ambitious as Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age. He seeks nothing less than to account for the spread of secularism and decline of faith in the last 500 years. Now a remarkable roster of writers-including Carl Trueman, Michael Horton, and Jen Pollock Michel-considers Taylor’s insights for the church’s life and mission, covering everything from healthcare to liturgy to pop culture and politics. Nothing is easy about faith today. But endurance produces character, and character produces hope, even in our secular age.

God Sized Vision
$22.99Is it possible we don’t see God working in mighty ways because we don’t ask him to work in mighty ways? Throughout history, God has used revival to build and renew his church. God-Sized Vision challenges us to pray expectantly to see his work in our own day. God can bring revival again to our community, our country, and our world. Our faith grows stronger when we learn how God worked in the past. The historical stories of worldwide revivals in this book enlarge our hearts and expand our minds as we see God at work in human history with a power that is still available to the faithful today. Here scholars Collin Hansen and John Woodbridge recount the fascinating details of world-changing revivals, beginning with biblical events and continuing through the Reformation, the Great Awakenings, the Welsh and Korean revivals, the East Africa Revival of the 1930s, and more recent revivals in North America and China. What did these revivals have in common? How can we prepare for-and expect-revival in our own culture? With accessible language and gripping examples, Hansen and Woodbridge explore these questions and more, strengthening our understanding of God’s work while deepening our faith in the possibility of revival-right where we are.

Blind Spots : Becoming A Courageous Compassionate And Commissioned Church
$20.00Christians talk a lot about church unity. Unfortunately, however, God’s people are often better known for their divisions and disagreements than for a common commitment to the gospel. At the root of this disunity are the blind spots that prevent us from seeing other points of view and reevaluating our own perspectives. In this provocative book, Collin Hansen challenges Christians from various “camps” to view their differences as opportunities to more effectively engage a needy world with the love of Christ. Highlighting the diversity of thought, experience, and personality that God has given to his people, this book lays the foundation for a new generation of Christians eager to cultivate a courageous, compassionate, and commissioned church.
