Books to Look For in 2010

Following on the heels of yesterdays reading recap I thought I’d point to some forthcoming titles that I am excited about. Today’s list is composed primarily from Crossway releases in 2010.

1) Holy Subversion: Allegiance to Christ in an Age of Rivals by Trevin Wax

Challenges Christians to stop privatizing their faith and begin undermining the cultural “Caesars” of our time by reclaiming the early church’s radical proclamation: “Jesus is Lord.”

2) Leaders Who Last by Dave Kraft

Powerful yet concise, Leaders Who Last instructs, warns, inspires, and challenges leaders to a new way to live, lead, and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

3) You Can Change: God’s Transforming Power for Our Sinful Behavior and Negative Emotions by Tim Chester

A practical, interactive, and solidly biblical book designed to help Christians in all stages of life to find victory over sin by focusing on what God has already done in us.

4) Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears

Driscoll and Breshears team up again to teach thirteen key elements of the Christian faith that should be held by anyone claiming to be a follower of Jesus.

5) What Does God Want Of Us Anyway?: A Quick Overview of the Whole Bible by Mark Dever

This overview of the Bible provides readers with an aerial view of the landscape of Scripture, scouting the major truths of the promises of God.

6) What is The Gospel? by Greg Gilbert

This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church.

7) Church Planting is for Wimps: How God Uses Messed-Up People to Plant Ordinary Churches That Do Extraordinary Thing by Mike McKinnley

The story of a church’s revitalization counters a common conception that a church’s size determines its health and points pastors to the faithful ministry of God’s Word.

8 ) Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church: A Guide for Ministry by Michael Lawrence

 Biblical theology is taken down from the shelves of misunderstanding and neglect and placed in pastors’ hands as the practical, everyday tool it is.
