The interior design of our homes is a result of our choices, whether we choose to follow the plans of a professional designer, develop our own plan, or, by default, not follow any purposeful design. Some interiors are warm and welcoming; some are cold and stark. Some are designed for entertaining with plenty of space to accommodate guests. Some are filled with clutter, whether because we are too busy, too overwhelmed, or any number of other reasons. Similarly, our lives reflect our choices. Are you warm and welcoming? Is your mind filled with overwhelming clutter? Whoever you are, you are a work in progress. As you ponder future progression, it is wise to evaluate the foundation upon which it will rest and whom you will trust with the design moving forward. The House the Carpenter Built reassures readers that a master architect has lovingly designed a beautiful blueprint for their lives. His invitation is to trust-even amidst the challenges, frustration, and clutter of life-that all things work together for their good as they follow His plan.

The Psalm 37 Menagerie is an imaginative short collection of devotional poetry. Jeff Reed, meditating on the 40 verses of Psalm 37 over the 40 days of Lent 2023, wrote a poem a day corresponding to each verse. A menagerie of images, wide and wild, is the fascinating result and offers an invitation into the wonder that the ancient poems of Israel can inspire today.

Jeff Reed's latest collection of poems Season of Dragonflies gathers together poems written over the last decade and offers close encounters with finely distilled moments stretching through a season of significant change in both its welcome and unwelcome varieties. From the marriage of children to the death of his father, from the exhilaration and agony of spiritual faith to the long plodding nerve sustaining the twists and turns of everyday life, these poems offer a wide forage through fields of human becoming. Travel by car (which becomes its own metaphorical engine) from the ocean to the desert, from the majestic sandstone arches in Utah to the verdant woods of Western Washington. Meet beavers and butterflies, starlings and swans, holly and foxglove, and everywhere hear the wind in the trees. These poems are music in the mouth, accessible to the non-specialist. As fresh takes on the familiar, they offer a doorway to see and feel something alive nudging us toward joy. "Come, you arcane seekers of light, the sunset shadows behind every rock are ready to tell their stories."

Ministry training often emphasizes expanding on the work of existing ministries to the neglect of addressing the difficulties of planting new churches in North America and around the world. This volume provides a practical, thorough, biblical, and inspirational corrective. Incorporating relevant sociological, anthropological, and historical insights, Hesselgrave extrapolates ten phases of cross-cultural church planting that are faithful to Jesus' commandment to make disciples and to Paul's missionary example. Pastors and college- and seminary-level church growth courses have used the first edition of this text for nearly twenty years. This second edition draws on more recent literature, offers refined arguments, and highlights Paul's ministry pattern. In addition, many charts, graphs, and forms bolster Hesselgrave's skillful description of effective cross-cultural church planting.
