COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., December 8, 2025— WaterBrook, an imprint of PRH Christian, is celebrating the remarkable success of Everything Is Never Enough: Ecclesiastes’ Surprising Path to Resilient Happiness by Bobby Jamieson (WaterBrook), which has been recently honored with two major awards for 2025: Christianity Today’s Book Award winner in the Bible and Devotional category and The Gospel Coalition’s Book Award winner in Popular Theology.

In granting the book top honors in its Bible and Devotional category, Christianity Today praised Jamieson’s approach, writing: “Everything Is Never Enough engages with Ecclesiastes through an honest, personal style, incorporating scholarship while remaining accessible. This is a very rich book indeed.” The recognition reflects Jamieson’s ability to combine theological depth, pastoral insight, and narrative clarity in a way that appeals to a broad readership.

The Gospel Coalition similarly commended the book as its 2025 Popular Theology winner, noting: “With vivid imagery (think: life as a snow day), searching insight, and elegant prose, Jamieson offers brilliant medicine for our cultural moment.”

Released in April 2025, Everything Is Never Enough offers a fresh and compelling exploration of the Book of Ecclesiastes, reframing its ancient wisdom for readers grappling with ambition, exhaustion, and the search for meaning. Jamieson guides readers through Ecclesiastes’ stark honesty about the limits of worldly satisfaction while inviting them toward a resilient joy rooted in the gospel. Edited by Drew Dixon, the book’s critical reception reflects its intellectual rigor, accessibility, and editorial excellence.

Bobby Jamieson serves as senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He holds degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a PhD in New Testament from the University of Cambridge.

December 4, 2025–WHEATON, Ill.— Crossway is pleased to announce that Good News for Parents: How God Can Restore Our Joy and Relieve Our Burdens (Crossway, August 2025) by Adam Griffin has won the Marriage, Family, and Singleness category for Christianity Today’s 2025 Book Awards.

Parents are often faced with an immense amount of conflicting advice. Most of this advice leaves parents feeling more discouraged and stressed about their parenting. Good News for Parents offers a refreshing alternative to typical parenting advice. Griffin reveals how walking by the Spirit can free parents from the anxieties, stress, and self-doubt of parenting. Utilizing Galatians 5, Griffin explains how the fruits of the Spirit provide the lasting relief that parents so desperately need.

“We are honored that Adam Griffin’s Good News for Parents is recognized as the best book of the year in CT’s category for marriage and family. Adam provides biblically grounded sanity for weary parents who want to shepherd their children in light of the gospel,” says Justin Taylor, Crossway’s executive vice president of book publishing and book publisher.

In the Culture, Poetry, and the Arts category, Scrolling Ourselves to Death by Brett McCracken and Ivan Mesa won an award of merit. Throughout the book, editors McCracken and Mesa, along with thirteen contributors, use Neil Postman’s 1985 book Amusing Ourselves to Death as a starting point, exploring Postman’s insights and connecting them to the challenges, questions, and opportunities facing the church today.

“We are also grateful to see Scrolling Ourselves to Death, edited by Brett McCracken and Ivan Mesa of The Gospel Coalition, awarded the runner-up prize in the category of culture and art. This work helps us to reorient our lives with biblical wisdom in a culture of mind-numbing screen time,” Taylor remarks. “We pray that both of these books would be used of God to edify his people for his glory.”

Founded in 1938, Crossway is a not-for-profit global Christian publishing ministry that publishes gospel-centered, Bible-based content to honor our Savior and serve his church. Crossway seeks to help people understand the all-encompassing implications of the gospel and the truth of God’s word—for all of life, for all eternity, and for the glory of God alone.

Carol Stream, IL (December 8, 2025) — Tyndale is pleased to announce that The Collector of Burned Books (Tyndale Fiction, July 2025) was selected for the CT Fiction Book Award. Every year Christianity Today selects books that are most likely to shape evangelical life, thought, and culture. CT chooses the top contenders for this honor based on the reviews and rankings of dozens of expert judges.

The Collector of Burned Books by Roseanna M. White is a gripping historical novel set in France during World War II. In this story about courage, freedom, and love, a literature professor in Paris and a reluctant soldier work to protect a collection of banned books used to rely encoded messages for the French resistance. Anthony Cirilla, an associate professor of English at College of the Ozarks, said this in his CT review, “The Collector of Burned Books masterfully unites historical realities with the personal drama of its characters.”

“We could not be more thrilled for Roseanna, and we extend our thanks to Christianity Today for this recognition of her work,” said Elizabeth Jackson, Senior Acquisitions Editor for Tyndale Fiction. “Both a timely novel about the power of words and an engaging story of hope amid the darkness of World War II, The Collector of Burned Books illustrates what Roseanna does so well—bring to life stories that are as poignant as they are thought-provoking.”

What the River Keeps (Tyndale Fiction, August 2025) by Cheryl Grey Bostrom was honored as the recipient of the CT Fiction Book Award of Merit. In this book, a successful biologist’s complicated memories hinder her from living a normal life until she returns to her childhood home in the Pacific Northwest and confronts the secrets of her past.

“We are so pleased to see Cheryl’s hard work recognized with a Christianity Today Award of Merit for What the River Keeps. This evocative novel skillfully navigates the pain of generational trauma and the burden of secrets while ultimately pointing to the transformative power of love in many forms to heal and make whole,” said Jackson.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Holman Bible Publishers will release the CSB Women’s Study Bible on January 1, 2026, offering an unparalleled resource for female students of the Scriptures.

This full-color edition combines the highly readable Christian Standard Bible (CSB) text with robust study tools written by women scholars and ministry leaders. Holman Bible Publishers is the oldest Bible publisher in North America and an imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources.

“The CSB Women’s Study Bible was uniquely crafted and designed—from cover to cover—in order to help equip women to engage deeply and meaningfully with God’s Word,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “This project reflects not only our continued commitment to increasing biblical literacy through the curation of robust material found throughout this study Bible, but also our commitment to the stewardship and display of beauty within our products.”

Unlike recent women’s editions, this Bible features brand-new notes and articles written by an all-female team of conservative evangelical biblical, historical and linguistic scholars. Stefana Dan Laing, associate professor of divinity in patristics and spiritual formation at Beeson Divinity School, served as general editor.

“Readers will benefit from the expertise of Bible scholars who specialize in Old and New Testament language and theology, theologians who bring depth and clarity of doctrinal truth, and historians who bring forward aspects of God’s providential work over millennia in the lives of those called by His name,” said Laing.

Women’s ministry leaders from across the nation provided articles for application, ensuring relevant insights for today’s readers.

“The aim is to help women engage Scripture deeply and confidently,” said Ashley Gorman, one of the contributors. Highlights include:

• More than 8,000 study notes crafted by female scholars
• 96 profiles highlighting influential Christians throughout history
• Over 180 “Closer Look” callouts for deeper cultural and theological context
• More than 70 word studies of key biblical terms
• 34 full-length articles addressing essential truths and topics for women
• Rich visual elements: charts, timelines, maps and photography

“We pray this resource offers timeless truth with excellent, robust commentary written for women by women that addresses the needs of today,” said Mary Wiley, contributor and associate publisher for B&H Books.
