In the Box: New Titles from New Growth Press & IVP

“In the Box” posts highlight new books I’ve received in the mail.

I periodically showcase new titles that arrive at my doorstep in posts like this. Today’s post highlights two books that I am eager to read. One is an award-winning book to help both parents and youth ministers in reaching teens, and another is a biblical theology of the book of Revelation.

Alongside: Loving Teenagers with the Gospel by Drew Hill (New Growth Press)

This book stands out, both for its content and flashy design. As a parent of three teenagers I am motivated by the subject matter. And once I heard that this book was selected as a finalist for the ECPA Christian Book Award, I knew I wanted to get my hands on a copy and feature it here on my blog. I look forward to interacting more with this book in the near future.

To learn more about this book, you can watch the book trailer, or visit www.AlongsideTeenagers.com. You can purchase this book, by checking out the book’s product page at Amazon, Christianbook.com, Westminster Bookstore, or direct from New Growth Press.

All Things New: Revelation as Canonical Capstone by Brian J. Tabb (IVP Academic)

This book intrigued me in part because I know the author (sort of). I took a class on Hebrew that he co-taught several years ago at The Bethlehem Institute (before it became Bethlehem College and Seminary). Brian Tabb now has a PhD from London School of Theology and is academic dean and associate professor of Biblical Studies at Bethlehem. Beyond my brief connection with the author, this book appeals to me on its own merit. It approaches Revelation as a capstone of the canon, and is in IVP’s excellent New Studies in Biblical Theology series. I love reading biblical theology and am looking forward to digging in to this promising book.

To learn more about this title, check out the book’s product page at AmazonChristianbook.com, Westminster Bookstore, or IVP Academic.
