Words with God
Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection
For most of us, prayer is a struggle. We know we should pray. It would be good for us--help us be more grounded, more connected to God. But in our hurried lives, slowing down to pray can feel like a cosmic waste of time. Do our prayers even matter? What, if anything, happens when we pray? Are we having words with God or just words with ourselves?
In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere takes you into and through the tension of prayer--the struggles, the doubts, the answers--to the place where God makes himself real to you.

Look What You've Done
The Lies We Believe & The Truth That Sets Us Free
Inspired by her powerful hit song of the same title, Look What You’ve Done delves into Tasha’s journey of finding freedom in Jesus through life's twists and turns. Tasha takes readers through her early days in small town South Carolina, to her big breakthrough as background singer on stage with Katy Perry, to the mission field in Kenya and beyond. Across many countries and all her days, the truest constant in Tasha’s life has been the presence of God in both the highs and the lows.
As her inspirational stories reveal the ways God has guided her journey, Tasha also shares vulnerable reflections on the struggles she’s faced in her life of faith and music. Readers will identify with Tasha as she describes the lies she allowed herself to believe as she battled with comparison, self-image, and the uncertainty of finding her purpose. Through challenges like these, God continues to bring Tasha wisdom and truth regarding who He is, and who she is meant to be.
Look What You’ve Done: The Lies We Believe & The Truth That Sets Us Free will inspire you to walk in boldness and love, sharing the goodness of God revealed in your life.

God's Not Done With You
Fighting for Purpose When Life Is More Than You Can Handle
We all experience setbacks and disappointments in life. Sometimes those setbacks become entire seasons of life. Businesses fail, relationships falter, discouragement and doubts set in, and circumstances overwhelm us.
God’s Not Done with You uses nine amazing "comeback stories" from the Bible to show how God provides everything needed to get through challenging setbacks.
Rather than showing people overcoming hardship through simple grit, the stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah, and Peter tell of extraordinary changes of heart and how God works in all things for the good of those who love him. Readers will be given a new perspective on their struggles and will be encouraged to trust God in them.

Good Boundaries and Goodbyes
Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are
Relationships are wonderful . . . until they're not.
Have you ever thought, I can't keep doing this--something has to change? Or, I've tried everything to fix this relationship but nothing is working--I fear I'm becoming someone I don't even like? Or even, I love this person, but this is starting to feel impossible?
You've listened to all the advice. But you're beginning to realize that if the other person doesn't want to change what's broken in the relationship, you can't change it on your own. So now what?
Lysa TerKeurst understands this dance with dysfunction and wants to be your insightful, compassionate friend who will teach you that it isn't unloving to set a boundary, and it isn't unchristian to say goodbye. You'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea.
This eye-opening book will be refreshingly helpful in giving you the biblical wisdom and confidence to set boundaries you can keep, communicate them, and finally see them working in your life. Good Boundaries and Goodbyes was born out of Lysa's own personal struggles with boundaries, extensive theological research, and therapeutic experiences that transformed the way she defined and pursued healthy relationships. Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is. She wants to help you do the same.

Help is Here
Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit
Two years after the arrival of Covid-19, the signs are everywhere. HELP WANTED. Restaurants are short staffed. Pastors are worn out. Kids are anxious, and parents are out of ideas. Humanity’s physical, emotional and mental resources are depleted. Clearly, we all need help.
New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado has felt it too, a quiet desperation for help and freedom. His own rescue was spiritual, and he now invites others to lay down toxic self-sufficiency as they embrace the power of God’s Spirit. In Help Is Here: Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit (Thomas Nelson, September 13, 2022), Lucado offers spiritual guidance as well as his personal story of transformation.
“Challenges come with life, but they need not define our lives. Help is here!” Lucado writes. “No more walking this path alone. No more carrying weight you were not intended to bear. It’s time for you to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the vigorous life he offers.”

Fan the Flame
Let Jesus Renew Your Calling and Revive Your Church
When pastor Jim Cymbala and his wife Carol arrived at the Brooklyn Tabernacle fifty years ago, fewer than 20 people attended services inside a rundown building in an impoverished part of Brooklyn. Over these five decades God has shown his faithfulness to their congregation in many miraculous ways, and today the Brooklyn Tabernacle campus includes a large renovated theater in downtown Brooklyn. Every week thousands of people hear the gospel of Jesus with an emphasis on prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit. Pastor Cymbala has a strong burden for local churches and has been blessed with the opportunity to encourage thousands of pastors worldwide.

Take Back Your Joy
Fighting for Purpose When Life Is More Than You Can Handle
Have you ever been devastated by a traumatic experience and wondered, Where is God in all of this? Whatever joy you may have had seems long gone and shows no hope of returning.
You’re not alone.
In Take Back Your Joy, Nicole Jacobsmeyer tells how she felt defeated and ill-prepared for a decade of relentless trials, from assault and depression to miscarriage and cancer.
With a heart full of questions about the God she was raised to love, Nicole began to doubt. Had God given her more than she could handle? But there is always more to the story with Christ.
Take Back Your Joy gives readers a renewed sense of hope and reassurance that we’re not alone in our sufferings, doubts, and questions. We can discover a clear sense of purpose even in hard times.

Stand in Confidence
From Sinking in Insecurity to Rising in Your God-Given Identity
Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, settle, and perform. In all this, we accept less than the abundant life Jesus died to give us.
Amanda Pittman, founder of Confident Woman Co., explains how we can rewrite our damaging self-beliefs with the truth about our God-given identity by establishing the Four Components of Confidence:
• Embrace our identity and define our design
• Connect with God and connect with others
• Develop our ability and expand our capacity
• Know our responsibility and use our authority
With a new perspective and focus, we will stand confidently upon the finished work of Jesus and live boldly in our Christ-given callings.

Behind the Lights
The Extraordinary Adventure of a Mum and Her Family
In this inspiring debut memoir, Helen Smallbone, mother of seven creative children―including Christian music artists for KING & COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James―chronicles the family’s journey of faith across the ocean to go where God was leading. Written from a mother’s perspective, Helen shares stories of peaks, valleys, and a family trusting God for provision.
Helen Smallbone’s heartfelt story illustrates what it means to really let God lead, which almost always means living outside the box of how the world says to live. How did an ordinary Australian family produce two Grammy Award–winning artists―Rebecca St. James and for KING & COUNTRY? What happened to bring the Smallbones through closed doors and to new beginnings in the United States? In Behind the Lights, Helen shares not only these stories of her family but of the life lessons they all learned along the way.

How to Hear God
A Simple Guide for Normal People
Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the authentic voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion and deception. When life falls apart and we need God's comfort; in moments of cultural turmoil when we need his clarity; facing formidable decisions when we need his guidance; desiring a deeper faith when we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation.
Having addressed God's silence in God on Mute, and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience--How to Hear God. Exploring the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions. He weaves together the evangelical emphasis upon hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God's "still, small voice" within.

The Case for Heaven
A Journalist Investigates Evidence for Life After Death
A decade ago, journalist and bestselling author Lee Strobel nearly passed away. His doctor said he was one step from a coma, two steps from dying. Once he managed to recover, Strobel knew he needed to tackle life’s last and, in his opinion, most important question—what happens once we die. His quest included years of research and multiple interviews with respected experts in writing his forthcoming book, The Case for Heaven: A Journalist Investigates the Evidence for Life After Death (September 2021, Zondervan).
“When you’re hovering over the hazy border between life and death, the afterlife is no longer a mere academic topic to be researched, analyzed and debated,” writes Strobel. “Heaven and hell, our existence beyond the grave, become desperately relevant. They’re all that matter.”

When Making Others Happy Is Making You Miserable
How to Break the Pattern of People Pleasing and Confidently Live Your Life
Feeling overwhelmed, burnt-out, and pulled in too many directions by the needs of others? If you wish you had a little more freedom and margin in your daily schedule, this is the book for you.
Author and speaker Karen Ehman knows firsthand how people pleasing locks us in a prison, trapping us in unhealthy habits which distract us from our true selves and our God-given purpose. With honesty and practical wisdom, Ehman explores why we fall into people-pleasing behaviors and offers advice for how we can break out into the freedom God has called us to. Because the truth is we cannot fulfill our divine purpose if we're too busy living everyone else's.

Sweet Like Jasmine
Finding Identity in a Culture of Loneliness
A moving memoir about uncovering family secrets, finding true worth, and witnessing brokenness made beautiful, Sweet Like Jasmine celebrates what it really means to belong. Growing up as an American-Chinese daughter of a mail-order bride and a busboy working in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Bonnie Gray never truly felt beautiful or beloved. But at 39, a long-forgotten birth certificate in an old file cabinet sparked a curiosity she couldn’t ignore, and Bonnie embarked on a journey that led her to soul-shaking discoveries about her identity, human kindness, and what it truly means to be loved. Sweet Like Jasmine is a moving account of how God uses our unique and broken stories to create a beautiful mosaic of His love, one life at a time.

Until Unity
The Church becomes more divided each day.
Some leaders work to fabricate the appearance of unity through detailed doctrinal statements, but this misses the point. Sophisticated theological discussions are not the solution because they do not address the root problem.
In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author and international Pastor Francis Chan suggests that division exists among believers when they stop growing in their love for God and for one other. While holding out hope for unity, Chan insists that divisions will only be overcome when Christians accept THE source of unity. “I know I will be mocked for my simplicity,” he writes. “But love really is the answer.”

Psalms in 30 Days
CSB Edition
Since ancient times, Christians have made a habit of praying monthly through the Psalms, the biblical songs that undergird much of Christian corporate worship and individual devotion. The Psalms were the prayer book of Jesus, and today they continue to speak to humanity’s joys, trials, times of suffering, and experiences of faith and doubt.
Holman Bible Publishers announces the release of a new hardcover devotional, Psalms in 30 Days: CSB Edition (available November 15, 2021). Author and Bible teacher Trevin Wax has edited this unique guide to praying the Psalms over the course of 30 days. All 150 Psalms are presented in thrice-daily readings which are paired with other songs from Scripture, confessions of faith and written prayers of faithful Christians of the past.

Just Ask
The Joy of Confident, Bold, Patient, Relentless, Shameless, Dependent, Grateful, Powerful, Expectant Prayer
Helping Christians to pray so that it’s a delight, not a duty.
Prayer can be a struggle. Sometimes we don’t think it will make a difference, or we rely on ourselves, or we’re just too busy. And even if we do pray regularly, it can feel more like a duty than a delight.
J.D. Greear shows us how prayer was a non-negotiable daily staple in Jesus’ life, more essential to him than eating or sleeping, and therefore why we need to pray as well. He shows us how we can enjoy the same source of power as our Lord and the early church when we learn to "just ask" and depend on our heavenly Father as they did.

Plan of Action
Navigating a Life of Change, Work, and Faith
Most people live with no plan until they come to a day when they question everything. Money, status, power…suddenly all pale in comparison to the need for meaning. At that point, getting a plan is everything.
From a front-row seat in the business world, and with spiritual insight that transcends business, readers of Plan of Action gain practical wisdom in a refreshing perspective. Linville reveals how a Kansas farmer’s son became CEO of a global company, a cynic became a believer, preparing him to navigate transitions with faith and toward a life of meaning and purpose.
Randy Linville earned dual bachelor’s degrees in agricultural economics and business finance and a master’s in agricultural economics from Kansas State University. His thirty-year career includes his tenure as CEO of Scoular, where he diversified and steadied the agriculture supply chain company across the US and in international markets. He has served on several nonprofit boards such as The FarmHouse Foundation and The Halftime Institute. Randy grew up on a farm in Holcomb, Kansas; today he lives with his family in Leawood, Kansas. Plan of Action is his first book.

I'll Start Again Monday
Break the Cycle of Unhealthy Eating Habits with Lasting Spiritual Satisfaction
Based on her bestselling book Made to Crave, but now distilled down for busy readers, Lysa TerKeurst offers a new perspective to all those stuck in the cycle of losing weight but then gaining it back, equipping readers with the deeper spiritual and emotional motivation they need to make lasting changes.
So often we characterize our food cravings as bad or guilt-inducing. But craving isn't a bad thing. The reality is we were made to crave. We just need to realize God created us to crave more of Him instead of misplacing that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures and unhealthy food that will always disappoint. In the midst of her own personal struggle with this, New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst invites us to find the missing link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen.
This is not a "how-to" book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This is the necessary resource to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose that will help you find your "want to" and lead to a spiritual satisfaction that goes far beyond the physical.

Passport to Heaven
The True Story of a Zealous Mormon Missionary Who Discovers the Jesus He Never Knew
When Mormon missionary Micah Wilder set his sights on bringing a Baptist pastor and his congregation into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he couldn't have imagined that the entire trajectory of his life was about to be changed--forever.
Micah's passionate effort to convert these Christians was met by a surprising challenge: to read the Bible through the eyes of a child, letting the Word speak for itself. He learned of a God whose love didn't have to be earned, and he wrestled with the radical idea of God's mercy for the remaining 18 months of his mission. As he struggled to reconcile the teachings of his Church with the truths revealed in the Bible, he encountered the true character of Jesus for the first time--and awakened to his need for His grace.
Passport to Heaven is a gripping account of Micah's journey from living as a devoted member of a religion based on human works to embracing the divine mercy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Prevail
365 Days of Enduring Strength from God’s Word
Scripture is God's love letter to us. Everything he asks of us is for our good and his glory. But that doesn't mean life is easy, and sometimes we need to be reminded of God's power over all that we face. We need something or someone to shake us up and teach us the truth about God and ourselves!

Using practical Scripture passages, thought-provoking questions, and her very own Bible-margin notes, Susie offers 365 days' worth of opportunities for us to strengthen our walk in faith while finding a new level of freedom and redemption.

You'll Get Through This
Hope and Help for Your Turbulent Times
What do you say when a friend’s job is eliminated, when your mom receives a tough diagnosis, when your neighbor’s husband abandons home and family? There are no easy words, no quick fixes. Best- selling author and long-time pastor Max Lucado offers a first-response of encouragement to those in the doorway of despair: You’ll Get Through This. Lucado doesn’t promise easy roads out or simple solutions, but in his decades of pastoral experience he has seen the continuous truth of those four words.
You’ll Get Though This: Hope and Help for Your Turbulent Times (Thomas Nelson, September 2013) is Lucado’s 30th trade book in more than 25 years of publishing. Lucado uses the life of Joseph—the biblical figure, who was sold into slavery by his brothers, falsely accused and wrongfully imprisoned—along with testimonials of 21st century survivors to model the promise of the book’s title. Just as Joseph told his brothers, “You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good,” Lucado reminds readers that God is still transforming evil and pain into goodness and blessing.

You Are Never Alone
Trust in the Miracle of God’s Presence and Power
“America’s Pastor” and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado offers a way out of the new tsnumani of loneliness in his newest book, You Are Never Alone: Trust in the Miracle of God’s Presence and Power (September 2020, Nelson). Lucado addresses the unprecedented isolation in our culture with a pastor’s heart of compassion, diving into the miracles of Jesus found in John’s gospel for specific examples of how God’s loving character offers hope and respite for society’s loneliness.
“The hope of John, the hope of this book,” Lucado explains, “indeed the hope of God, is that we would believe, not in our power, not in humanity’s ability to help itself, not in tarot cards or good fortune, not in good looks or good luck. But that we would believe in Jesus. Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Jesus as the Son of God.”

Shrinking the Integrity Gap
Between What Leaders Preach and Live
Every leader values integrity, but far too few live it out. The founders of Living Wholehearted, Jeff and Terra Mattson, find that most high-capacity leaders have experienced childhood trauma and use leadership as a way to cope.
In Shrinking the Integrity Gap, the Mattsons remind readers that integrity is a way of being and not a one-time event. Providing long-term solutions rooted in grace, they explore the following:
• The symptoms and systemic impact of the integrity gap
• How a leader’s unresolved story impacts their influence
• Ways to overcome the loneliness and effects of leadership
• Healthy leadership habits for wholehearted leadership
Integrating biblical truth, clinical research, relational wisdom, and real stories, Shrinking the Integrity Gap equips readers to become the kind of leader anyone would want to follow.

In a Boat in the Middle of a Lake
Trusting the God Who Meets Us in Our Storm
Patrick and Ruth Schwenk, founders of the popular blogs For the Family and The Better Mom, as well as the podcast Rootlike Faith, reveal the unshakeable hope God offers in our most difficult trials.
At some point, we all find ourselves, like the disciples in Mark 4, in a boat in the middle of a lake. For some of us, this is the loss of a loved one. For others, a disability or financial insecurity. For Patrick and Ruth Schwenk, it was Patrick's cancer diagnosis at age forty-three. In this powerful new book, the Schwenks share their personal stories of loss and tragedy, along with strong Bible teaching and the experiences of nearly twenty years in pastoral ministry, to show that one of the greatest ways God transforms us is through trials--through difficult seasons of loss, disappointment, weakness, and suffering. Because while we live in a culture that values strength, control, and comfort, God does his greatest work in us through our pain. It's when we're weak that God has us where he can work with us. But that is never where he leaves us. It's through the hurt that we come to fully know the hope that is ours in Christ.

Jesus
The God Who Knows Your Name
All of the books by Pastor Max Lucado have talked about Jesus, but Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name (Thomas Nelson, January 21, 2020) is the only one of his books to solely center on Jesus. With never-before-published content, Lucado eloquently explores the life of Jesus…and what he means to us today.
Lucado asks the reader to think deeply about Jesus, writing: “Don’t settle for a cursory glance or a superficial understanding. Look into the heart of Christ and you’ll see it. Grace and life. Forgiveness of sin. The defeat of death. This is the hope he gives. This is the hope we need.”
Jesus is a compliation of all of Lucado’s writings for the last three decades with beautifully-written new content. Divided into six distinct sections, each of the 20 chapters describe specific character traits and impactful stories of the God who became man.

CSB Life Essentials Interactive Study Bible
Renowned Bible teacher, Dr. Gene Getz has partnered with the popular CSB translation to offer a “seminary education in a box,” the unique CSB Life Essentials Interactive Study Bible (March 2020, B&H). With 1,500 updated “principles to live by” authored by Dr. Getz, each principle links through smartphone accessible QR codes to video teaching on that particular topic. Each of the 1500 videos correlating to the principles has been refreshed, updating the content by Dr. Getz specifically to be included in this Bible.
Most study Bibles are designed to help readers understand various verses and paragraphs within the biblical text through footnotes and sidebars. However, Dr. Getz’s goal for the CSB Life Essentials Interactive Study Bible is unique; “I wanted to design a study Bible that gives every reader, not only a conceptual understanding of all chapters of the total biblical story, but to enable everyone to apply enduring biblical truths in a multitude of life situations.”

Faith in an Anxious World
A 4-Week High School Curriculum
We don’t need to look far to see that our teenagers are hurting. The terms “stressed,” “anxious,” and “depressed” increasingly dominate the way today’s young people talk about their generation. While adults in their lives are becoming more aware of these problems, we often don’t know how to respond. Parents, ministry leaders, and other caring adults need practical, accessible, and trusted resources that bring greater freedom and health to the teenagers they care about most.
The Fuller Youth Institute team has brought together experienced ministry practitioners and mental health professionals to create a new research-based resource for everyday leaders and parents, Faith in an Anxious World (Fuller Youth Institute, January 6, 2020).

The Abide Bible
Thomas Nelson Bibles, in partnership with BibleGateway and Taylor University’s Center for Scripture Engagement, announces the 2020 release of The Abide Bible. Unlike any other Bible product on the market today, The Abide Bible offers a holistic approach to engaging and applying scripture to daily life. Throughout the biblical text, readers are invited into practices that foster deeper reflection, prayer and spiritual growth.
The Abide Bible was born out of a decade of research with college students and young adults regarding their engagement with spirituality and scripture. Dr. Phil Collins, General Editor of The Abide Bible, explains “We saw many Christians eager to grow spiritually, yet they didn’t know where to start with Bible reading or prayer. The team at Taylor University’s Center for Scripture Engagement developed The Abide Bible to provide both a starting point and a path for continually abiding in God’s Word.”

Together Through the Storms
Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered
Together Through the Storms (The Good Book Company, May 2020) helps married couples to navigate the storms of life together. Working through the book of Job, Jeff and Sarah Walton reflect on their own experiences. The last dozen years have been marked by loss as they endured a neurological/behavioral disorder in the oldest child, major financial loss, and the painful reality of the whole family suffering with Chronic Lyme Disease. They are, however, thankful for the long and painful road they have endured because the Lord, in His goodness, has taught them to find, hope, joy and identity in Christ Alone.
Together Through the Storms is not a “how to” guide on having the best marriage, but, rather, a walk alongside you and your spouse, sharing the realities of suffering and the effects it can have on a marriage. It is an encouragement to lift your eyes above your trials, off your spouse, and onto our all-sufficient Savior.

The New Testament in Its World
An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians
One of today’s most prolific biblical scholars, N. T. Wright, has collaborated with Michael F. Bird to publish a definitive volume on the New Testament, The New Testament in Its World: An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians (SPCK/Zondervan Academic, November 2019).
Distilling decades of Wright’s ground-breaking research into the origins of the New Testament, this opus details ideas and concepts as they were intended in their original context for early Christians. Simultaneously, Wright and Bird cast a vision for how modern-day believers can study and apply the New Testament with a clarified focus and mission. Instead of settling for information about how to live and what to believe, the authors clarify that the ultimate truth in the New Testament is deeply personal. It is, in fact, a person: Jesus, the one in whom God’s truth is incarnated and his purpose accomplished.
Wright believes the New Testament must be read using first-century eyes with twenty-first-century questions. The New Testament in Its World reveals the New Testament as history, literature, and theology, all at once. Wright explains, “A close reading and thick description of the New Testament will necessarily involve the messy business of history, the hard work of literary criticism, and the arduous task of theological reflection.”

Thriving in Love and Money
5 Game-Changing Insights about Your Relationship, Your Money, and Yourself
Over 90 percent of couples experience some level of tension around money. In fact, money issues are the number one stressor in relationships. So many books try to fix the surface problems, such as how to budget and what to prioritize when it comes to finances, but the issues go much deeper than just a simple spreadsheet.
How do men and women view money differently? What do most couples fight about? How can they get on the same page? What questions should men/women ask their significant others before marriage? There are emotional and spiritual components to finances that most couples ignore. How can you agree on a budget if you disagree with each other on the basic purpose of money?
Thriving in Love and Money is based on original research Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have conducted to get to the heart of these issues. And just as they did with their bestselling books For Women Only and For Men Only, they will use this research to provide the answers and insights you need to break the tension and provide the unity you're looking for. Let this book deepen your understanding of each other, leading to clear communication, peace as a couple, and better financial decision-making.
Also available: video curriculum and workbook.

How Happiness Happens
Finding Lasting Joy in a World of Comparison, Disappointment, and Unmet Expectations
National surveys agree: happiness is not happening. According to the annual Harris Poll Survey of American Happiness, at its highest point only one-third of Americans surveyed said they were happy.1 By some estimates clinical depression is ten times more rampant now than it was a century ago.2 The World Health Organization forecasts that by the year 2020 “depression will become the second leading cause of disease worldwide.”
All this negativity demands the question: Should we give up on the pursuit of happiness?
Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado says adamantly no. In his latest book, How Happiness Happens: Finding Lasting Joy in a World of Comparison, Disappointment and Unmet Expectations (Thomas Nelson, September 2019), Lucado offers wisdom for turning humanity’s tide of unhappiness.

Just in Case You Ever Wonder
Max and Denalyn Lucado were raising three young daughters when Max penned his classic children’s book Just in Case You Ever Wonder in 1992. Already a bestselling author for adult readers, Lucado was eager to showcase God’s unconditional love in his first children’s book. Twenty-five years and 1.7 million copies later, Just in Case You Ever Wonder is receiving an update with all-new artwork by illustrator Eve Thartlet. HarperCollins’ children’s division, Tommy Nelson, launches this revised edition in August 2019.
Max Lucado remembers reading Just in Case You Ever Wonder to his now-grown daughters: “I hope you’ll enjoy this book with the children in your life, just as I did with my own. I hope it assures them that as they grow and change, during both good and bad times, you and their Heavenly Father will always be on their side…just in case they ever wonder.

Thou Shalt Not Be A Jerk
A Christian’s Guide to Engaging in Politics
Politics and religion have long been deemed “topics not fit for polite company.” And America’s 2016 and 2020 presidential elections vividly illustrate the wisdom behind the maxim. A toxic amalgamation of politics and religion are poisoning public conversation as well as speeches from clergy and candidates. As disrespect, name-calling, and pulpit posturing increase, many American churchgoers long for a return to civility. Pastor Eugene Cho agrees and goes a step further: Christians need to quit acting like jerks.
Eugene Cho’s upcoming book, Thou Shalt Not Be A Jerk: A Christian’s Guide to Engaging in Politics (David C Cook, March 2020) is the author’s first foray into political conversation. A former pastor in Seattle, Cho is founder of the grassroots movement One Day’s Wages and his days are focused on alleviating extreme poverty worldwide. Cho chose to write Thou Shalt Not Be A Jerk because he sees America’s political climate as unhealthy for both society and Christianity.

It's Not Supposed to Be This Way
Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst spent the last two years walking through one epic disappointment after another. Now, after surviving breast cancer, marital infidelity, and more, Lysa reveals the hidden strength she discovered at the lowest point in her life. Her new book, It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way: Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered releases November 13, 2018.
Lysa’s new book recounts the truth about her own fears, pain, tears and faith. In the end, she has found God is good at being God, even when – especially when – circumstances are not at all what we expected or even wanted.
“This is so much more than a book for me,” says TerKeurst. “If I could only give one life message, this would be it. I want people to know that while we trust a God who does allow hurt, we also trust a God who uses hurt for good. Every single time."

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
A Devout Muslim's Journey to Christ
Nabeel Qureshi was the author of the New York Times bestsellers No God But One and Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, the only book ever to win Christian Book Awards for both "Best New Author" and "Best Nonfiction." Nabeel was an accomplished global speaker and held an MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School, an MA in Christian apologetics from Biola University, an MA in religion from Duke University, and an MPhil in Judaism and Christianity from Oxford University.
Raised as a devout Muslim in the United States, Nabeel grew up studying Islamic apologetics with his family and engaging Christians in religious discussions. After one such discussion with a Christian, the two became friends and began a years-long debate on the historical claims of Christianity and Islam. Nabeel chronicled his resulting journey in his first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus.
Throughout his years of ministry, Nabeel lectured to students at more than 100 universities, including Oxford, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Hong Kong. He participated in 18 moderated, public debates around North America, Europe, and Asia. Christianity Today heralded Nabeel as one of “33 Under 33” in its cover story on emerging religion leaders in July 2014.
Other works of Nabeel's include Answering Jihad—a balanced examination of jihad, the rise of ISIS, and Islamic terrorism—and the Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Video Study, which goes deeper into the apologetics that led Nabeel himself to Christ.
Following a year-long battle with stomach cancer, heaven welcomed Nabeel home on September 16, 2017. He leaves behind his wife and young daughter who aspire to honor the ministerial legacy Nabeel established during his brief 34 years on earth.

What Is a Girl Worth?
My Story of Breaking the Silence and Exposing the Truth about Larry Nassar and USA Gymnastics
Recipient of Sports Illustrated’s Inspiration of the Year Award and one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People (2018)
“Who is going to tell these little girls that what was done to them matters? That they are seen and valued? That they are not alone and they are not unprotected?”
Rachael Denhollander’s voice was heard around the world when she spoke out to end the most shocking scandal in US gymnastics history. The first victim to publicly accuse Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics team doctor who abused hundreds of young athletes, Rachael now reveals her full story for the first time. How did Nassar get away with it for so long? How did Rachael and the other survivors finally stop him and bring him to justice? And how can we protect the vulnerable in our own families, churches, and communities?
What Is a Girl Worth? is the inspiring true story of Rachael’s journey from an idealistic young gymnast to a strong and determined woman who found the courage to raise her voice against evil, even when she thought the world might not listen. This deeply personal and compelling narrative shines a spotlight on the physical and emotional impact of abuse, why so many survivors are reluctant to speak out, what it means to be believed, the extraordinary power of faith and forgiveness, and how we can learn to do what is right in the moments that matter most.
What Is A Girl Worth? will be accompanied by the simultaneous release of the illustrated children’s book, How Much Is a Little Girl Worth?
How Much Is a Little Girl Worth? is Rachael Denhollander’s tenderhearted anthem to little girls everywhere, teaching them that they have immeasurable worth because they are made in the image of God. Armed with this understanding, girls will develop confidence in their own value and blossom into women who can face any challenge life puts in their path.

A Dream Too Big
The Story of an Improbable Journey from Compton to Oxford
WATCH Caylin Moore interviewed on “Good Morning America”
By all rights, Caylin Louis Moore should be dead, in prison, or stalking the streets of Compton with his fellow gang-members. Instead, he’s a Rhodes Scholar, author, speaker, and role model for every kid deprived of hope in downtrodden communities. A Dream Too Big is the story of Moore’s exodus from one of the most impoverished, gang-infested communities in the United States to the golden, dreaming spires of Oxford, England.
After Moore’s mother gathered her three young children and fled an abusive husband of nine years, leaving behind a comfortable middle-class life, Moore found himself in a bewildering and dangerous environment. The family lived in a neighborhood ruled by the Bloods, and Caylin often lay awake at night, terrified by both the sounds of gunfire outside and the scratching of rats and roaches moving in the walls. When Moore’s father was convicted of murder and his mother was sexually assaulted in the hospital while recovering from open-heart surgery, Moore was forced to enter adulthood prematurely. Embracing his mother’s steely faith in God and education, Moore skirted the gangs and the endemic violence of Compton to excel on the football field and in the classroom.
Academics and athletics led to college scholarships, which led to a Fulbright and eventually the Rhodes Scholarship. Along the way, Moore cofounded a student organization that brought college athletes into underserved classrooms as inspirational speakers, role models, and mentors. Moore’s eye-opening, inspirational story proves that, contrary to what others told him on his journey, there is no such thing as a dream too big.

The Noble Renaissance
Reclaiming the Lost Virtue of Nobility
With humor-filled personal tales and in-depth research, The Noble Renaissance will unfold the meaning behind the characteristics of nobility--self-sacrifice, humility, courage, self-conquest, integrity, honesty--all required for nurturing noble virtues.
What would happen if we intentionally chose to live a life of nobility? If we thought of our fellow man before ourselves? In a world littered with lawsuits, hate mail and demands for punishment, when did we stop caring for our neighbor? When did we set aside the cause and effect of our decisions? When did we rest on the hidden laurels of contempt, instead of working a little harder, to bring fruit and morality based on forethought over legalism?
"The noble man makes noble plans and by noble plans he stands," Isaiah tells us. The finest characters in Scripture often carried this descriptor in their back pockets, and such labels didn’t always follow their wealth--but followed their integrity.
Could we become a little more effective, a little kinder if we consciously began to ask, “What’s the noble choice?”

When God Stops
Faith that Gets God’s Attention
When God Stops shares the key to living a life that honors the Lord and jumpstarts your faith.
Dr. Derek Grier dissects the extraordinary God-encounters of eight ordinary men and women in the Bible and reveals them as “hidden figures” of the New Testament. The retelling of the biblical accounts from a new perspective will uncover the answer to the age-old question: What makes God stop and pay attention? The answer is faith.
Whether it was a man with leprosy, a sick child, or a short tax collector sitting in a tree, they all had one thing in common—a burning desire to get God’s attention. Dr. Grier adds to the narrative by sharing the details of his personal pilgrimage. Growing up angry at God and looking for an identity, Grier eventually attended college and found the kind of faith that made him feel loved and centered for the first time in his life.

Faith for Exiles
5 Ways for a New Generation to Follow Jesus in Digital Babylon
In a series of groundbreaking studies that led to two bestselling books, David Kinnaman and his Barna Group uncovered the truth about why young people are increasingly resisting and rejecting the church. But the news isn't all bleak. Recent analysis of Barna's incredible store of data reveals a hidden hope: the church is already perfectly equipped to meet young people's deepest desires and most pressing needs.
In Faith for Exiles, David Kinnaman teams up with former executive director of Youth Specialties Mark Matlock to reveal five formational practices that have the power to cultivate resilient faith in the next generation. Drawing on groundbreaking insights and never-before-released data, Kinnaman and Matlock show readers that God has not given up on the American church. In fact, the church is needed now more than ever.
Pastors, youth ministers, and concerned culture-watchers will find the hope they've been looking for as they navigate a rapidly changing, increasingly alien culture alongside young, faithful, thriving Christians exiled in digital Babylon.

Disciple Her
Using the Word, Work & Wonder of God to Invest in Women
What does true, biblical discipleship look like? How can women, no matter what stage of life they are in, practice it? How can we find time to invest ourselves into others when it feels like our schedules are already full? What is our place in carrying out the Great Commission? In this practical book, Kandi Gallaty outlines a process for developing an effective disciple-making strategy in your life and the lives of others. Disciple Her is filled with personal stories and more than a decade’s worth of discipleship experiences. Most important, it is saturated with her love for the Word of God. Helping women see their own life experiences as lessons to pass on is a constant theme of the book. Disciple Her will be a point of reference that can be picked up and referred to time and time again in the years to come as women intentionally obey Jesus’ command to invest their lives into others.

Here and Now
Thriving in the Kingdom of Heaven Today
The Christian life is so much more than just a one-time decision to secure a place in heaven. What if you could experience heaven on earth today? Not flying angels singing on clouds, but the fulfilled, abundant life Jesus promised in the Bible—a life that, regardless of your circumstances or your present context, experiences joy, happiness, and peace that is difficult to encapsulate in human terms. What if heaven was available to us today? Pastor and author Robby Gallaty thinks it is. We have been taught that salvation is getting man out of earth to live in heaven when the Bible teaches that God desires to bring heaven to earth through man. In Here and Now, readers will journey together to uncover the nucleus of Jesus’ messages, which says the opposite. Jesus spoke about the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God (both are synonymous as we will see) more than any other topic. No other concept is even close.

Known by Name
The Known by Name series explores complex women in the Bible and their struggles with tough questions through the lenses of a counselor, a Bible teacher, and a dramatist.
Rahab: Don’t Judge Me, God Says I’m Qualified - Through Rahab’s story, you will learn how to shed your unhelpful labels and fears, and instead revel in God’s unconditional love and acceptance of you - just as you are.
Hagar: In the Face of Rejection, God Says I’m Significant - Hagar learns through hurt and rejection that what is unresolved is not unseen by God. Through her story you will learn to respond when life doesn’t affirm you, but God does.
Naomi: When I Feel Worthless, God Says I’m Enough - Naomi traveled from comfort and security to despair and bitterness; from hopeless drifting to faithful obedience; from loss to redemption, in one short lifetime.
Each study is available separately. The studies are four sessions long and each session has a 20 minutes video.
