NASHVILLE, TENN. (AUGUST 08, 2023) GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Charlie Peacock and his wife and author, Andi Ashworth have inked a book deal with Nashville-based W Publishing an imprint of Thomas Nelson, division of Harper Collins Christian Publishing/Harper Collins. The boutique imprint will release their new book, Why Everything That Doesn’t Matter, Matters So Much: The Way of Love in a World of Hurt, in March 2024.

“Harper Collins W has a history of publishing for both Christian-rooted communities and broader markets—an ethos that best mirrors our own history as creators and neighbors,” shares Charlie Peacock and Andi Ashworth. “We were also looking for a publisher with a staff diversity that looks a little more like our own diverse family. Finally, we just really liked them as people! It’s a fit for us and we are honored to have this new book in such good, artful, and skillful hands.”

Leaning on their life experience, Charlie and Andi created a book that gives the reader a hopeful and practical model for what it means to be a culture-maker and a Christian in a world at odds with itself. Why Everything That Doesn’t Matter, Matters So Much is a collection of letters written directly to all who think deeply and care acutely about family, vocation, and the calling to love everyone, everywhere.
