With a foreword by William Paul Young—author of The Shack—The Shack Revisited (FaithWords, $14.99, Oct. 2) examines the theology behind the international best-selling novel. Written by C. Baxter Kruger, Ph.D., a Trinitarian scholar and director of Perichoresis Ministries, the new book aims to “depict the mystery of God in a way that ultimately leads to a better understanding of His great love for humanity,” Kruger said.
David Jeremiah—best-selling author, senior pastor and Turning Point Bible teacher—reexamines one of the Bible’s most profound but basic truths, titling his latest book God Loves You: He Always Has—He Always Will.

Sheryl Brady—who serves as pastor of The Potter’s House of North Dallas under the leadership of bishop T.D. Jakes—believes that God has empowered His children to do the impossible.

Brady aims to inspire in the believer a new perspective on the past and a new strength to succeed. You Have It in You! (Howard Books) goes on sale Oct. 2 for $21.99.
Ron Phillips inspires readers not to settle for the ordinary Christian life, but to make radical steps to take God at His Word just as many Bible figures did.
