Sadie Robertson Huff challenges young generation to live well daily with new devotional

Follow-up to national bestsellers “Live” and “Live Fearless,” “Live on Purpose: 100 Devotions for Letting Go of Fear and Following God” debuts Sept. 28

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 21, 2021) – Teens and young adults will reach new depths of faith as they discover how to live life to the fullest in Sadie Robertson Huff’s new book, “Live on Purpose: 100 Devotions for Letting Go of Fear and Following God” (ISBN: 9781400213092).

Huff builds on her enduring message to live fearlessly and purposefully in her new devotional. Live on Purpose takes the life-changing themes from her bestselling books Live Fearless and Live, and applies those truths through Scripture, prayer, and her passionate message to live well. In each entry, she shares her personal journey with God and provides practical tools for readers to nurture and sustain their own spiritual well-being.

“Every day we have the decision to press past the fear, insecurities and anxieties of this life and choose to live on purpose,” said Robertson Huff. “My prayer, is that this devotional encourages everyone who picks it up, to run into their God-given purpose and start living life for the Glory of God”

Huff is a leading voice of hope, courage, and truth for young people. She is a speaker, influencer, media personality, wife, sister, daughter and earlier this year, became a first-time mother. In a world where young believers are frequently experiencing ups and downs, She still remains a relatable source of encouragement. Her hope is that “Live on Purpose: 100 Devotions for Letting Go of Fear and Following God” helps young people on their daily journey to letting go of fear and walking out their purpose.

“Live on Purpose” covers topics including:

• overcoming fear and living with confidence
• living without limitations by setting aside fear, anxiety, and comparison
• authentically celebrating every moment in life
• replacing temporary highs with the promises of God
• dreaming big and living like it’s on purpose

With a social media audience of more than 6 million, Huff is a wholesome role model and enthusiastic voice for her generation. Huff’s fanbase follows her hit podcast, WHOA That’s Good; watched her become runner-up on season 19 of Dancing with the Stars; or read her bestselling books including Live, Live Fearless, Live Original, and Life Just Got Real.

Live on Purpose: 100 Devotions for Letting Go of Fear and Following God (ISBN: 9781400213092, ages 13-16) releases on Sept. 28, 2021 everywhere books are sold.

Carol Stream, Ill. (September 21, 2021) — Tyndale House Publishers (@tyndalehouse) announced that Rev. Esau McCaulley, PhD, will publish God’s Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible: The Story of God’s Big Diverse Family with Tyndale Kids in January 2023.

God’s Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible will tell the story of God’s love of ethnic diversity and his concern for the poor, his justice, and his compassion. This one-of-a-kind storybook Bible will include 16 Old Testament stories and 15 New Testament stories, guiding children and parents to understand God’s overarching story of grace and his intentional design for an ethnically diverse church that cares about the vulnerable. Several of the stories aren’t traditionally included in storybook Bibles, providing new learning opportunities for families.

McCaulley is an assistant professor of New Testament at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL. He is the author of Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope, which won numerous awards, including Christianity Today’s Beautiful Orthodoxy Book of the Year. As a father of four, biblical scholar, and sought-after commentator on matters of faith, race, diversity, and culture, McCaulley is uniquely situated to craft a faithful, accessible rendering of the story of God’s diverse family.

“We are thrilled to be working with Esau on this book,” said Linda Howard, associate publisher for Tyndale Kids. “Our prayer is that Esau’s unique view of God’s plan for diversity throughout the Bible will help all of us be a more loving and unified body of Christ.”

About this exciting project, McCaulley said, “I hope that this storybook Bible introduces children to the wider world of the Scriptures in which God desires to create a just Kingdom from people of every ethnicity through the work of his Son, who loves us. As a parent, I know well the difficulty of finding resources that display this vision of the Scriptures to the young. I pray that families find it useful.”

Esau McCaulley is represented by Laurie Liss of Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. For more information or for media inquiries, please contact Madeline Daniels, madelinedaniels@tyndale.com.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 20, 2021—One of the world’s largest Christian media and music providers, David C Cook announced today that John Aden will serve as the ministry’s new CEO, effective immediately.

At some of the world’s top companies, including Walmart Inc., Mac Tools and Frito-Lay, and for more than 25 years, Aden has been a senior executive delivering record growth, leveraging scale, driving innovation and building high-performance teams across the globe. As president of Mac Tools, he pioneered strategic partnerships with NASCAR, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and two TV shows, Monster Garage and Pimp My Ride, turning a struggling company into an industry leader. Most recently, John excelled in roles as executive vice president and senior vice president at Walmart, including leading the $50 billion General Merchandise unit to exceed all expectations and turning the declining Hardlines division into one of the fastest growing categories in Walmart.

Yet, Aden considers David C Cook his biggest assignment to date.

“I see this moment as such a critical time for the global church. The pandemic, politics and other challenges have taken a toll. Yet, I know that a united, vibrant church is God’s most powerful agent for reaching a lost world,” said Aden. “As I look back at my career, I am absolutely convinced that every experience, every skill developed, and every opportunity has been in preparation for my role at David C Cook. I believe there’s nothing more important for me to do at this stage in my life than use my unique talents to help serve, equip and grow the Church.”

David C Cook retained Korn Ferry, an internationally known executive search firm, to conduct an exhaustive executive search, using rigorous qualifications established by the board of directors. Out of more than 200 applicants, Aden rose to the top and was the unanimous choice based on his notable global leadership experience, background in delivering customer-centric solutions, emphasis on innovation and impressive resume of enhancement and growth.

Under Aden’s leadership, expect big things to happen, because he’s known for it. With global experience spanning five continents and 28 different countries, Aden plans to use the tools of customer insight, leveraging scale, and innovation to help authors, artists and creatives share God’s truth and build disciples around the world.

“Innovation is in the DNA of this ministry,” said Aden. “With this talented team, authors and musicians, David C Cook is uniquely positioned and qualified to be used by God to revitalize the local church—especially the tens of thousands of small churches with limited resources. I’m calling on a generation of content creators, digital developers and like-minded partners to join us as we lead and act NOW.”

Aden begins his role today with an intense focus on reigniting the heritage of David C Cook. The same priorities of consumer insights, innovation, solutions and scale that have made the organization great since 1875 will be activated to quickly accelerate into the future.

Aden believes the future is bright for David C Cook and that there is a new generation of authors, artists and digital creatives who share in the ministry’s passion for serving the church with world-class innovation. Aden desires for David C Cook to become a destination for creative geniuses being called to impact the church through relevant, creative and thoughtful, Christian resources.

How to Fight Racism Young Reader’s Edition releases January 4, 2022, pre-orders available now

Grand Rapids, MI – September 24, 2021 – Bestselling Zondervan author Dr. Jemar Tisby announced his upcoming book for kids ages 8 – 12, How to Fight Racism Young Reader’s Edition: A Guide to Standing Up for Racial Justice is available for pre-order. The book from Zonderkidz will release January 4, 2022 (ISBN 9780310751045, $16.99, 240 pages). In the book, Tisby uses history to explore how racism has affected America since before its founding and how it has continued to grow, as well as examines how social justice is rooted in the Christian faith. In a format that provides a handbook and tools for pursuing racial justice, young readers will discover real-world examples of change they can put into action in their world.

“We’re living in a time of dramatic racial upheaval and kids are noticing. They see and hear more than we think. But fighting racism is too important to leave our kids without adequate guidance. They should learn about race, racism, and what to do about it from the adults in their lives who care about them most,” says Tisby, also the author of the adult trade books How to Fight Racism (Zondervan) and The Color of Compromise (Zondervan). “If you want kids in your life to stand up for racial justice, then this book is their guide to those all-important topics.”

“Books like Dr. Tisby’s are in demand by Christian parents who want to talk about racism with their children, but aren’t sure where to start,” says Megan Dobson, Vice President and Publisher of Zonderkidz, the children’s book division of Zondervan. “We are proud to be partnering with Jemar, who is a former middle school teacher and principal and respected expert in this area, on this important effort helping kids to be the change in their schools, their neighborhoods, and among friends and strangers and in the world.”

The book is now available for pre-order everywhere books are sold. A media tour will be a part of the book launch during the month of January. All media inquiries can be directed to jessica.westra@harpercollins.com. Advance copies can be requested through NetGalley.

More about Dr. Jemar Tisby:
Dr. Jemar Tisby is the founder of The Witness, Inc., an organization training the next generation of Black Christian leaders. He is also the cohost of the Pass the Mic podcast and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Color of Compromise: The Truth About the American Church’s Complicity in Racism and more recently, How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Towards Racial Justice, both published by Zondervan.

New Kensington, Pa., September 22, 2021—Whitaker House author and lead pastor at the nondenominational New Song Church and Ministries in Denver, Colorado, Pastor R. Loren Sandford, died Friday, Sept. 17, due to complications from COVID-19. Sandford was 70.

Since receiving his Master of Divinity Degree from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, in 1976, Sandford has served four churches full time, planting two of them himself, including New Song Church and Ministries. He is the author of several books, including The Last Great Outpouring: Preparing for an Unprecedented Move of God, which released by Whitaker House in 2020.

“Whitaker House was fortunate to have worked with Pastor Sandford,” said Publisher Christine Whitaker. “He was a caring pastor who was attentively listening to the Spirit’s leading with a passion to see a move of God that we have yet to see. He will be missed but his words and legacy will live on.”

September 20, 2021 — Flagler Law Group is pleased to announce Sandon M. Fisher will join the firm’s Asheville, North Carolina office as Associate Attorney on October 15, 2021. Sandon’s service to the firm’s clients will focus on business transactions, primarily drafting contracts and negotiating acquisitions, as well as trademark prosecution and related intellectual property advice.  As the firm’s practice has grown, the volume and complexity of intellectual property and transactional needs of its clients has increased.

Veteran intellectual property attorney, Craig Gipson – who celebrated his ten-year anniversary with the firm this year – has been promoted to Of Counsel and will maintain the firm’s West Coast presence.  As Of Counsel, Craig will continue to counsel and manage projects for publishers and other rights organizations as well as expand his First Amendment, privacy, and dispute resolution practice.

Craig’s promotion and the addition of Sandon to the team of dedicated legal professionals at Flagler Law Group enables the firm to continue to provide efficient and cost-effective counsel to Christian publishers, ministries, churches, seminaries, and other content organizations.

Sandon comes to Flagler Law Group with just shy of six years of experience as a practicing attorney. Most recently he served as Legislative Counsel to the State of Alaska. Sandon honed his transactional skills as an Associate Attorney at the firm Manley & Brautigam in Anchorage. Sandon earned his Juris Doctorate at Liberty University School of Law, and was admitted to the Alaska Bar in 2015.

“Sandon’s recruitment and Craig’s promotion reinforce our commitment to continually improving best practices and maximizing efficiency, which we tailor to the needs of publishers and ministries.”
– Brian D. Flagler, Founder and Managing Partner

Sandon, his wife and daughter look forward to making the transition from the Boundary Ranges to the Blue Ridge.  An avid outdoorsman, Sandon is likely to join Brian and Craig on one of their paddling adventures.

Flagler Law Group serves organizations that publish, teach, and distribute Christian messages, providing informed and practical counsel on publishing and intellectual property matters.

The Jesus Storybook Bible Podcast premieres September 23 with guests Amy Grant and Bishop Michael Curry

Grand Rapids, MI – September 16, 2021 – Zonderkidz is pleased to announce that New York Times bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones, creator of the multi-million bestseller The Jesus Storybook Bible, will host a new podcast beginning this fall. Inspired by the many beautiful stories of hope and joy and grace which readers have shared in the 15 years since The Jesus Storybook Bible was published, the podcast will be a platform where we hear from people from of all walks of life share about the life-transforming power of God’s love in their lives. The first three shows release September 23 featuring interviews with songwriter Amy Grant and Bishop Michael Curry who share how the book has impacted their own faith journey and outlook.

A full season of shows will be available this fall, with more shows in place to be recorded and aired in Spring 2022.

“We have been eagerly anticipating this launch. The stories in The Jesus Storybook Bible are so inspiring and encouraging and filled with hope. And we can’t think of a time when we need them more. Our hope is that the podcast will be a place of hope and inspiration—a place where we can all be reminded of the love God has for us and his power to change lives,” says Megan Dobson,  Vice President and Publisher of Zonderkidz. “Bringing Sally together with friends of the book has been a joy. Listeners will appreciate the perspectives guests share on what their favorite Bible story is, how the telling of that story in The Jesus Storybook Bible has grown their faith, and how they’ve been impacted by God’s story.”

The Jesus Storybook Bible, first published in 2007, has sold over 3 million copies and has been published in over 55 languages.

“I wrote a book for children that somehow found its way into the hands of pastors and professors, musicians and actors, on NICU wards, in prisons. And then we began to hear incredibly moving stories lives transformed by God’s love. Well, I couldn’t keep the stories to myself any longer. I had to share them. So I invited people to share with us personally about how God’s love has changed everything,” says Lloyd-Jones. “The stories told in the Bible, and on the podcast, and in the book all celebrate the wonderful good news—that God loves us with a Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.”

More about the Book:
The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of the Story there is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From Noah to Moses to the great King David–every story points to him. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle—the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture. From the very beginning, all through the Old Testament and the New Testament, the beautiful Story unfolds of a great Rescuer, a brave hero, a young prince. And the God who can’t stop loving us and comes to rescue us. A Bible like no other, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children (and their grown-ups) to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God’s great story of rescue—and at the center of their Story too.
