Whether you're a pastor, student, or thoughtful reader, these books offer insight, challenge, and encouragement.

Unmuted

Usha Reifsnider

The Violence of Silence” is real, especially in the global Church.

In Unmuted, Usha Reifsnider—a British South Asian Christ-follower from a Hindu background—brings a deeply personal and globally aware perspective to issues of evangelisation, identity, and voice. Drawing on her experience in mission work and leadership with the Centre for Missionaries from the Majority World, Usha explores what it means to speak—and to be heard—in a world that often silences marginalised voices.

This book is a bold call to “unmute” ourselves and others, offering a vital gospel-shaped response to the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging.

The Message of Love: The Only Thing That Counts

Patrick Mitchel

Love is the defining mark of Christian faith, but do we really understand it?

In The Message of Love, Patrick Mitchel explores this central theme with depth, clarity, and a call to action. His exposition begins in the Old Testament, where the steadfast love of God is expressed in covenant and compassion, and moves to the climactic revelation of divine love in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Mitchel doesn't just offer a theology of love but he invites readers to let that theology transform their lives. What does it mean to love your neighbour? To love your enemies? To love within the church, your family, your community? Drawing from both Scripture and contemporary application, Mitchel argues that love is not optional: it is the very heartbeat of Christian discipleship. As Paul writes in Galatians 5:6, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”

This title is a rejacket, to align the physical design of the books with our award-winning, multi-million-copy selling Bible Speaks Today series of Old Testament and New Testament expositions. Get your copy in hardback or eBook here.

The Message of Discipleship

Peter Morden

How do we live as committed disciples of Jesus today?

From the moment Jesus began his public ministry, discipleship was central to his mission. He didn’t build institutions or write documents: he called people to follow him, live with him, and learn from him. That call still echoes today, but what does it really mean for us?

In The Message of Discipleship, Peter Morden draws from the entirety of Scripture to provide a rich and well-rounded understanding of what it means to be a disciple. While the word “disciple” appears most frequently in the Gospels and Acts, Morden’s conviction is that we need the whole Bible to shape whole-life disciples.

With theological depth and pastoral warmth, this book presents discipleship as both wonderfully attractive and deeply challenging. It invites every believer to hear again the words of Jesus: “Come, follow me.”

The Message of Discipleship is a rejacket, to align the physical design of the books with our award-winning, multi-million-copy selling Bible Speaks Today series of Old Testament and New Testament expositions. You can get your copy here.

Whether you're exploring what it means to follow Jesus, trying to walk in love in a divided world, or desiring to hear fresh voices from the global church, we hope these new titles will equip you to receive fresh revelation in Scripture and live more faithfully in God’s world.
