Reclaim the version of yourself that you once knew—the one with hopes and dreams, optimism, and confidence. Then step into the best version of yourself—the one you haven’t met yet! 

Life throws so much at us. Disappointments, failures, challenges, and even devastating loss. In the process of living, we begin to feel so out of touch with ourselves that we no longer recognize ourselves. In the midst of all that we experience, we forget to remember that we cannot live an authentic life if we’ve forgotten who we truly are.

Pastor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen wants us to know that God has promised us that He will recover what has been lost and fix what has been broken. He reminds us that we were create not just to survive but to live in full bloom But first, Joel says, we must come out of hiding and reclaim those parts of ourselves that have been withered by the fires of life. We must actively choose to lay aside the bitterness, the shame, the self-defeating messages we tell ourselves and then embrace, in faith, the vision of who and what we can become—the very best version of ourselves.

Rich with scriptural teaching as well as personal testimonies that will uplift and enlighten, Rediscovering the Forgotten You is the reminder you need to help you rediscover and then become the person you were created to be.

​God has so much more in store for you when you remember the hopeful, positive you you once knew.

JOEL OSTEEN is a New York Times bestselling author and the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. Millions connect daily with his inspirational messages through television, podcasts, Joel Osteen Radio on Sirius XM, and global digital platforms.

March 13, 2026 – Jennie Allen’s transformative new book, The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe: How to Find It, Fight It, and Live Free, debuted on the New York Times Best Seller List at #7 and at #8 on Publishers Weekly Bestseller List. Blending biblical wisdom, neuroscience, and lived experience, Allen helps readers confront the unseen lies shaping their thoughts, relationships, and sense of worth—offering a practical pathway to uncover hidden falsehoods and discover the truth that leads to genuine freedom and lasting change.

“In a world overloaded with pressure and distraction, many of us feel an undercurrent of anxiety or dissatisfaction we can’t quite name,” Allen says. “The lie we don’t know we believe is often the most powerful force shaping our lives. Freedom begins the moment we dare to name it.”

Drawing from her own journey with her own core lie and her work discipling millions through IF:Gathering and Gather25 (a vision to mobilize the global Church), Allen identifies three core lies that shape nearly every human story: I am helpless. I am unlovable. I am worthless. Each of these beliefs can subtly infiltrate our identity and relationships, leading to burnout, shame, and disconnection.

Through a blend of spiritual truth and practical strategy, The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe shows readers how to:

• Spot the three core lies running their lives
• Trace where those false beliefs took root
• Replace destructive narratives with lasting truth
• Build a lifestyle of emotional resilience, mental clarity, and spiritual freedom

More than just another self-help book, Allen’s message connects the sacred and the practical, providing both faith-based insights and practical steps for mental and emotional well-being. Whether she’s speaking in a church, a stadium, or on her podcast, Allen’s voice resonates with anyone who feels stuck, striving, or searching for peace.

“True freedom isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being honest,” Allen says. “Vulnerability is the key to building the deeper connections we all crave.”

Nashville, TN – March 16, 2026 – HarperCollins Christian Publishing is pleased to announce the signing of Megan Ashley, the dynamic host of the fast-growing podcast In Totality, under a significant five-book agreement. The deal includes two trade books with Nelson Books, two curriculum projects with HarperCollins Resources, and one devotional, marking a major expansion of Ashley’s ministry from audio to print. Her highly anticipated debut trade book is scheduled for release in the fall of 2027.

Ashley’s debut work will challenge the notion of a “cotton candy gospel,” inviting readers to move beyond superficial belief into a deep, resilient, and beautiful faith. Drawing on Romans 12 and the book of Acts, the book will explore the idea of offering one’s mind, body, and soul as a living sacrifice. It offers a bold invitation for believers, whether new to the faith or lifelong followers, to say “yes” to God with their whole selves, shaping how they live, work, and move in the world.

“Megan’s distinctive way of sharing her life experiences through the lens of spirituality is bold, compelling, and thoughtful,” said Brigitta Nortker, Associate Publisher, Nelson Books. “We are so incredibly excited to partner with her to bring these biblically grounded, inspiring messages to her readers.”

Stephanie Newton, Vice President and Publisher, Thomas Nelson, Zondervan, and DaySpring Gift, expressed, “We’re honored to partner with Megan, whose authentic voice and unwavering commitment to biblical truth have made her a trusted voice for those navigating faith and life. Through this gift book, we’re excited to extend her Spirit-led wisdom beyond the mic and into the hands of readers everywhere.”

World Rights for the project were negotiated by Senior Literary Agent Trinity McFadden with The Bindery.

Ashley shared her enthusiasm for this new chapter in her ministry. “God has called me to be transparent about my journey with humility and vulnerability, from the valleys of depression to the mountains of His grace and many mercies. Writing these books is an extension of that obedience and worship to the One who saved my life. My prayer is that this work will serve as a wake-up call for us to stop holding back parts of our lives from God. A Holy charge to take Him, His love, His Word, and His return serious. True freedom is found when we surrender everything—our struggles, our parenting, our mental health, our bodies, in totality to Him. May the God of our salvation be glorified and praised in every page.”

About Megan Ashley
Born in Columbus, Ohio, and currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia, Ashley is a single mother to three boys. Her ministry is deeply informed by her real-life challenges, including navigating her son’s diagnosis of autism and Fragile X syndrome, as well as her own past battles with mental health. Since launching in November 2023, her podcast In Totality has become a sanctuary for listeners seeking vulnerability and wisdom rooted in God’s Word.

March 2026 | LISLE, IL—InterVarsity Press (IVP) has appointed Jon Boyd as the new divisional vice president of editorial and associate publisher. IVP is also pleased to announce that Cindy Bunch has been named senior editor-at-large.

Bunch has worked at IVP for more than thirty-seven years, including ten years as associate publisher and director/vice president of editorial. “I am deeply grateful for Cindy’s many years of faithful service leading our editorial team. Her steady influence has shaped IVP’s editorial culture, accompanied authors with care, and helped steward our publishing work with theological depth and integrity,” said Terumi Echols, publisher and president at IVP.

As senior editor-at-large, Bunch will continue to acquire spiritual formation books, lead writing workshops, and shape LifeGuide Bible Studies, a project she has led since 1990. She will move into this new role on June 1.

Boyd has worked at IVP for more than fourteen years. He joined IVP as the digital communications manager in 2012, was named associate academic editorial director in 2016, and has been the academic editorial director since 2017. He will fill Bunch’s position as divisional vice president of editorial and associate publisher on April 1.

“There have been only three editorial leaders in IVP’s 79-year history: James W. Sire, Andrew T. Le Peau, and myself,” Bunch said. “I am so pleased that Jon Boyd will carry the torch as the new leader of the editorial department. Jon brings an understanding of who we are and passion for our unique place in the publishing world. This is paired with his optimistic vision for the future. He’s brought both stability and innovation to the academic department during his tenure in editorial, and I expect that he will do the same for the whole department. I look forward to carrying out my own role acquiring and developing books for IVP Formatio under his leadership.”

Boyd said, “What an honor and privilege it is for me to come along in the line of IVP’s previous heads of editorial, all giants of Christian publishing stretching back to the 1970s. The editorial program they created is going strong, which is what makes it even thinkable for me to dare to follow in their footsteps.”

Before joining IVP, Boyd held leadership positions in communications at North Park University. He also served as the web producer for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for four years and as associate director of InterVarsity’s Graduate and Faculty Ministry from 2000 to 2009. Boyd received his bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Michigan, a master’s in Hebrew Bible from Trinity International University, and a PhD in history from Johns Hopkins University.

“Jon brings a rare combination of scholarly depth, publishing expertise, heart for ministry, and long-standing service to InterVarsity,” Echols said. “For nearly fourteen years he has served IVP with steady commitment, thoughtful leadership, and deep care for our publishing mission. We are grateful for his leadership thus far and for the qualities he brings to this role. He is relational and trusted by colleagues and authors. He is attentive to data that helps us steward IVP’s resources wisely. He is a quick study who asks thoughtful questions and brings fresh thinking to complex challenges. Most importantly, Jon understands who we are as a ministry and is prayerful and discerning about the future of IVP’s publishing program.”

Boyd said, “IVP has been breaking the rules since our first book in 1947 (a Bible study written by a woman), and ever since then we’ve joyfully gone about our mission of amplifying the voices of people with important things to say, even if they had been silenced by the usual gatekeepers. Some of those rules have changed, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse—so all the time we face fresh challenges. We’ll keep working on the best ways to use print and digital media, human intelligence, and Christian faithfulness to equip believers with the insights and encouragement they need to face what’s next.”

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 13, 2026—Author and artist Jennifer Trafton offers readers a portrait of faith, imagination and vocation in her latest book, “If Only We Could See: Reimagining Creativity, Compassion, and Calling through the Extraordinary Life of Lilias Trotter,” releasing April 14, 2026, from B&H Publishing Group.

In “If Only We Could See,” Trafton brings new life to the story of Lilias Trotter, a gifted 19th-century artist whose work drew the praise of famed critic John Ruskin and whose radical decision to turn away from artistic acclaim led her instead to the overlooked communities of London and, later, to the deserts of North Africa. Blending biography, theological reflection and personal engagement, Trafton invites readers into Trotter’s world, where artistic vision and spiritual devotion were inseparably intertwined.

“It’s my hope that readers are inspired by Lilias to rediscover wonder, embrace a calling to creative compassion, and reimagine what faithfulness can look like in everyday life,” said Trafton. “In our deeply divided culture, more than ever we need a new way of seeing—and Lilias offers exactly that, an attentive, generous way of being in the world that can reawaken our joy and transform our community.”

While most readers have yet to learn of Lilias Trotter, many have experienced the influence of her work in the hymn, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” which was directly inspired by her writings.

Rather than offering a conventional biography, “If Only We Could See” draws readers into a personal encounter with Trotter as her friends knew her: a visionary who approached life with an artist’s eye and a missionary’s heart. Readers are encouraged to see both the world and their neighbors anew—and to consider what the book calls a “beautiful possible life.”

Jennifer Trafton is a storyteller and artist with a passion for exploring the intersections of faith, creativity and the arts. She studied church history and theology at Wake Forest University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Duke University. Trafton has been a regular conference speaker, writer, teacher, editor and illustrator for the Nashville-based Rabbit Room creative community for over a decade. Her novels for children, “The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic” and “Henry and the Chalk Dragon,” received starred reviews and multiple award nominations, and she has since collaborated on or contributed to a wide array of projects including “The Wingfeather Tales,” “The Lost Tales of Sir Galahad” and “Every Moment Holy, Vol. III: The Work of the People.”

B&H Publishing Group, an imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources, is a team that believes Every Word Matters®. We seek to provide intentional, biblical content that positively impacts the hearts and minds of people, cultivating lifelong relationships with Jesus Christ. We publish (print and digital) in the trade, church and academic markets, as well as the CSB translation. For more information, visit BHPublishingGroup.com.

John C. Lennox is widely regarded as one of the greatest Christian apologists of modern times, having devoted a lifetime to showing how faith in God and faith in reason stand logically together. In My Story, he invites readers into his remarkable journey: growing up in Northern Ireland, studying at Oxford and Cambridge, teaching mathematics at the highest level, and boldly defending the Christian faith in lecture halls, debates and the public square for more than sixty years.

From encounters with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, to the hunger for Bibles in Soviet Russia, and his ongoing belief that rigorous science and profound faith are not enemies but allies, Lennox reflects on the ideas, people and pivotal moments that shaped his life with warmth, wit and disarming honesty. Part memoir, part intellectual adventure, My Story includes photos from Lennox’s personal collection and is a must-read for anyone curious how a brilliant mathematical mind can hold fast to the gospel – and how one man’s faith has helped millions find a reason to believe in an age of doubt.

John Lennox MA MMath MA (Bioethics) PhD DPhil DSc FISSR is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. He is currently President of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA), Distinguished Research Fellow at the Lanier Library and Theological Centre, Yarnton Manor, Oxford, and a senior fellow of the Trinity Forum.
