 May New Releases: Fresh Insights into God’s Transformative Work

This May, we are delighted to introduce two deeply enriching titles that invite readers to reflect more deeply on the nature of spiritual formation and the broad vision of God’s redemptive plan for the nations. Whether you're a preacher seeking to shape hearts from the pulpit or a biblical scholar tracing God’s promises through the prophets, these new books offer insight, encouragement, and challenge.

From Glory to Glory

Abraham Kuruvilla

What is the purpose of preaching? For Abraham Kuruvilla, the answer is clear: spiritual formation. In From Glory to Glory, he presents preaching not merely as instruction or inspiration, but as God’s means of shaping His people into the image of Christ.

Kuruvilla explores the supernatural journey of transformation – from the glory of creation to the glory of redeemed humanity – and how God uses both His Spirit and His Word to bring about holiness in the lives of believers. This is no simplistic how-to manual or one-size-fits-all framework. Instead, Kuruvilla offers a theologically rich, pastorally sensitive invitation to walk the slow, Spirit-led path of transformation.

Pastors, preachers, and church leaders will find in these pages both encouragement and challenge: a call to be more attentive to what God is doing in and through His people, and a fresh vision for preaching as a means of participating in that holy work.

"And Egypt My People … and Israel My Inheritance": The Non-Israelite Nations in the Latter Prophets

Daniel Timmer
(New Studies in Biblical Theology Series)

Are the Old Testament prophets only about judgment? And are the nations simply the villains in Israel’s story?

In this compelling entry in the New Studies in Biblical Theology series, Daniel Timmer turns conventional assumptions on their head.

Taking a deep dive into the Latter Prophets, Timmer shows that the negative portrayals of the nations are not the end of the story. Instead, they serve a redemptive purpose, consistent with God's promise to bless all peoples through Abraham.

Timmer carefully traces how the prophets’ visions for the nations find their fulfillment in the New Testament and continue to inform the church’s global mission today. Far from being exclusionary, the prophetic books proclaim a radical inclusivity: a future in which Gentiles are not outsiders but vital members of God’s redeemed people.

This title also thoughtfully engages with contemporary concerns such as ethnicity, national identity, and the church’s relationship with political power which makes it a vital read for theologians, mission-minded leaders, and anyone grappling with the intersection of faith and public life.


We are excited about our May releases which demonstrate our ongoing commitment to publishing resources that not only deepen biblical understanding but also speak to the heart of Christian life and witness today.
