Lucado launched Unshakable Hope, his 40th adult trade title, with a special event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. The event was seen by more than 250,000 people via social media. Lucado was also featured on national media including Rick & Bubba, Fox News Radio, Moody Broadcasting, Life Today, Keep the Faith, and a drop-by on The TODAY Show. Media appearances continue this fall on Daystar TV, The Dave Ramsey Show, Extra TV, The 700 Club, and more.
Thomas Nelson sponsored a pre-sale campaign which benefitted the Salvation Army and Prison Fellowship International. Consumers who pre-ordered Unshakable Hope were able to donate a special ministry edition to these international ministries.
In Unshakable Hope, Lucado applies God’s promises to every area of life, including insecurities, disappointments, depression, illness, condemnation, and the question of evil in the world. With a storyteller’s gift and a pastor’s heart, Lucado points readers to a God whose promises are unchanging and whose love is beyond measure. www.UnshakableHopeBook.com
“Build your life on the promises of God. Since his promises are unbreakable, your hope will be unshakable,” Lucado writes. “The winds will still blow. The rain will still fall. But in the end you will be standing—standing on the promises of God.”
