In Luther on the Christian Life, historian Carl Trueman introduces readers to the lively Reformer, taking them on a tour of his historical context, theological system, and approach to the Christian life. Whether exploring Luther’s theology of protest, ever-present sense of humor, or misunderstood view of sanctification, this book will help modern readers go deeper in their spiritual walk by learning from one of the great teachers of the faith.

Carl R. Trueman is Professor of Historical Theology and Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary (PA). He is the author of a number of books, including John Owen: Reformed Catholic, Renaissance Man, and Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative. We look forward to having Dr. Trueman here to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation with us this year.

From Here to Maturity continues the discussion Dr. Bergler began in his award winning book, The Juvenilization of American Christianity. In his first book, Dr. Bergler shows how the characteristics of church youth groups have in many cases been accepted by Christians of all ages. That “juvenilization” has led to spiritual immaturity. In From Here to Maturity, Dr. Bergler defines spiritual maturity as “basic competence in the Christian life” and explains why achieving spiritual maturity is essential. This book is full of practical advice for individuals and churches seeking to grow spiritually.
 
Dr. Bergler is professor of ministry and missions at Huntington University in Huntington, Indiana.

In Rejoicing in Lament, Dr. Billings shares about his diagnosis of cancer, the theological questions this has raised for him and others, and how he has grown to see his own story in light of the grandeur of God’s story. Billings writes genuinely and honestly about his own life while focusing on the Bible and a need for a theology of genuine lament and genuine rejoicing as we trust in God’s promises.
 
Dr. Billings is the Gordon H. Girod Research Professor of Reformed Theology at Western Theological Seminary. He is the author of several other books including Union with Christ and Calvin, Participation, and the Gift.
