Five books on doctrine, forgiveness, the life of the local church, and the work of missions — written over four decades of pastoral ministry, seminary teaching, and missionary service.
Doctrine in Denim
Concise devotional studies in the essential doctrines of the Christian faith
Doctrinal studies to anchor faith in a time of drift and doubt. Clear and concise, devotional and practical, and yet thorough — never simplistic. The book covers the essentials, from revelation and creation through the attributes of God, the Trinity, the covenants, and the work of Christ, to the nature and mission of the church, closing with practical suggestions for living as a serious disciple.
Church―No Spectator Sport
In search of spiritual gifts
Christians often approach church the way they approach sport — tens of thousands of spectators, desperately in need of exercise, watching a handful of professionals desperately in need of rest. Eric Wright asks what changes when a congregation rediscovers itself as the Body of Christ, where every member has been given a gift and a part to play.
Revolutionary Forgiveness
How to develop a forgiving lifestyle in an age of anger
What gift could we give our family, our church, our community that would make the greatest difference to the greatest number of lives? Fifteen chapters trace the roots of bitterness and alienation and set out a thoroughly scriptural way through them, with discussion questions closing each chapter — equally at home in a house group, an adult class, or personal devotions.
Strange Fire
Assessing the Vineyard Movement and the Toronto Blessing
What happened at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in 1994, and why did participants shake, laugh, and fall down? A careful examination of the assumptions underlying the Charismatic Renewal — the Vineyard Movement, the Toronto Blessing, and the Pensacola revival — measured against Scripture and against the historical revivals they are said to resemble.
A Practical Theology of Missions
Dispelling the mystery, discovering the passion
From the garbage dumps of Manila to the steppes of Mongolia, the missionary story pulses with drama and excitement. But too little thought, Wright argues, has gone into its theological foundations, and the stress cracks are beginning to show. A return to God’s missionary manual to reformulate the basic principles — written by someone who spent his working life doing the job.
