I've been singing songs about Jesus for as long as I can remember, but I'm realizing now more than ever that not all hallelujahs are sung...most of them are lived.

Books to go Deeper

For readers looking to dive deep into biblical truth, unmask cultural deceptions, and understand God's grand plan for creation.

God's Homecoming by Tom Wright

In this major follow-up to Surprised by Hope, world-renowned scholar Tom Wright reframes our understanding of the ultimate Christian promise. Instead of an escape to a distant heaven, Wright reveals God's eternal desire: to make His home with us, bringing full renewal and resurrection to creation.

“

This is a most welcome and unexpected title from Tom Wright. He sets out what he started in Surprised by Hope and, as its sequel, this clinches the argument he had been putting forward in previous works. With expert scholarship, he shows how the biblical record has, for centuries, been ignored because of the influence of platonic thought. Peter, Eden Customer Review

Doctrines of Demons from Angels of Light by R.T. Kendall

With decades of pastoral experience, R.T. Kendall issues an urgent, uncompromising call for discernment. Unmasking subtle end-times deceptions and feel-good gospels, this book equips believers to stand firmly on biblical truth when compromise threatens the Church.

Ones to Watch

Into the Quiet by John Mark Comer

Into the Quiet guides readers into the ancient practice of silent solitude, helping us create a sacred space to hear God's still, small voice and anchor our souls in His peace.

“

The noise of the world doesn't just hurt your ears - it harms your soul. John Mark Comer shows in this wonderful book how to step back from the world and find God in stillness. Arthur C. Brooks, Author

Dane Ortlund’s book has swept my heart up and away to the vestibule of heaven. He is saying things I’ve never heard before and has given me so much to ask God about.

Return to the Shack by Wm. Paul Young

“

So when people would ask me starting a couple years after The Shack, are you going to write a sequel? And I'm like, I don't think so…because how would you write a sequel for that book? It's just like, no, and I really did not think so until about a couple years ago, but it all started about a decade ago when a friend said, There's a man on death row. WM. Paul Young, Taken from our Eden Interview
