Ada, Mich. (October 27, 2020)—Lisa Sharon Harper has signed a new contract with Brazos Press to publish Fortune. Brazos has exclusive world rights and the project was agented with Howard Yoon of the Ross Yoon Agency. The book is slated to release in the fall of 2021.

Thanks to DNA testing and archives, Lisa Sharon Harper has spent three decades learning about her family history, discovering the hopes and dreams of ancestors whose legacies would otherwise be lost to history. In Fortune, Harper introduces readers to various family members who spanned 10 generations of U.S. history to highlight how their lives and futures were shaped by various oppressive public policies. Their stories become a window into ways that American ideas, customs, and laws oppressed millions of people of African and indigenous descent; spanning the Northeast, the South and the Caribbean islands. Harper connects their stories to the biblical concept of reparation, which is fundamentally about repair. Harper argues that reparation is not only about a dollar amount or figuring out which individuals to blame, but about an entire community or nation repenting of the “fundamental decision to order society according to racial human hierarchy.” Beyond naming the problem, Harper uses the final section of the book to cast a vision of truth-telling, repentance, and peace-building. In this way, Fortune is both memoir and prophetic teaching, deeply personal but also accessible to anyone interested in addressing the legacy of racism in the U.S.

Lisa Sharon Harper is a leading Christian speaker and activist. With a master’s in human rights from Columbia University, she served as chief church engagement officer for Sojourners, where she led campaigns on immigration reform and racial justice. She is founder of Freedom Road, LLC, a consulting group dedicated to helping groups do justice more justly. Harper organizes the annual Ruby Woo Pilgrimage for Christian women. Her work has been featured in the New Yorker, Relevant magazine, the Huffington Post, and on Rick Warren’s website, PurposeDriven.com. Her leadership has been honored by the Center for American Progress, La Raza, and the National Black Women’s Roundtable.

“Fortune feels like the book that Lisa Sharon Harper was born to write,” said Katelyn Beaty, acquisitions editor for Brazos Press. “Our team is honored to partner with Harper to deliver this urgent call to remember our nation’s sins rightly so that we can collectively work for repair. We anticipate that this book will bear much fruit in the church, nation, and world.”

Brazos Press publishes books that creatively draw upon the riches of the Christian story to deepen our understanding of God’s world and inspire faithful reflection and engagement.

Dr. Ralph West, Dr. Charlie Dates, Bishop Kenneth Ulmer, Dr. Cynthia Hale Among Founding Members 

BELLINGHAM, Wash., November 9, 2020 – Logos Bible Software, the best-selling digital Bible study tool preferred by the world’s leading scholars and created by Faithlife, today announced the formation of the Kerusso Collective, a select group of respected Black faith leaders and scholars who will lead the intentional integration and assimilation of Black voices and representation into Logos.

“The Kerusso Collective has been a vision Faithlife has been working toward for over a year,” said Chauncey Allmond, Kerusso Collective spokesperson and Logos Bible Software national presenter. “There is a large population of Black church leaders using Logos yet we realized their voices are not fully represented in the digital Bible software. The formation of the Kerusso Collective is the first step in ensuring the diversity of our users is representative of the scholars and resources available in the software.”

The Kerusso Collective will include up to 15 scholars. Current members include:

• Dr. Ralph West, pastor of Church Without Walls in Houston, Texas, and author of “Uplook for a New Outlook,” “Living in the In-Between Times” and “Left Alone;”
• Dr. Charlie Dates, pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois, author of “Say It” and contributor to “Letters to a Birmingham Jail;”
• Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer, pastor of Faithlife Central Bible Church in Inglewood, California, and author of “Walls Can Fall;”
• Dr. Cynthia Hale, senior pastor of Ray Hope Christian Church in Decatur, Georgia, author and award-winning women’s leader;
• Esau McCaulley, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College and author of “Reading While Black”;
• Bishop Joseph Walker, senior leader of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee, and International Presiding Bishop in the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship; and
• Chauncey Allmond, national presenter of Logos Bible Software.

Logos Bible Software is the best-selling digital Bible study library that provides seminary-level resources and education without the cost of seminary tuition. Logos is the preferred study tool of numerous faith leaders, including Tim Keller, Matt Chandler, Kay Arthur, Beth Moore and John Piper, to name a few. Providing in-depth Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, thousands of Scripture commentaries and integrative study tools, Logos has equipped thousands of users to understand the Bible better.

“There is perhaps no better time in history than now for the launch of this outstanding board of faith leaders and the upcoming Logos library,” said Bob Pritchett, founder and president of Faithlife. “Better representation is something Faithlife has been improving for years, and we believe it is no coincidence that our country is coming to a head against racism during this historic release.”

The Kerusso Collective will meet throughout 2020 in order to provide input for an anticipated release of a new Logos library of Black resources in the first quarter of 2021.

“It is an honor and privilege to collaborate and gain direction from these outstanding leaders as we move forward with the launch of our new, and I believe, greatest library yet,” said Scott Lindsey, executive director at Faithlife. “I know that these individuals will lead Faithlife and all of our users toward greater understanding of God and a life walked with Him as we hear from a diverse array of voices with astute hearts for the Lord and racial reconciliation.”

Nashville, October 2020 – Marking over thirty-five years of stellar service with The United Methodist Publishing House (UMPH), Tammy Gaines will retire on December 31, 2020.

Named Chief Financial Officer in August 2014, Ms. Gaines has held leadership positions that touched every aspect of the UMPH operation, starting in May 1985 as the internal auditor and advancing steadily to assume ever greater responsibilities. She held numerous positions that included heading up the Abingdon Press division, overseeing Cokesbury direct sales, and directing all business operations.

Concurrent with serving as a senior leader of UMPH, Ms. Gaines has held key volunteer leadership positions at First United Methodist Church in Franklin, TN and with the Tennessee Annual Conference. Her professional involvements include membership on the Board of Directors of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association and previously serving as its treasurer.

Ms. Gaines played instrumental roles as UMPH adapted to dramatic changes in the church and in the religious publishing industry, urging the embrace of new technologies; incorporating state of the art business practices; assuring compliance with evolving accounting requirements; driving innovations in how UMPH interacts with and serves customers; helping to guide planning for the move from UMPH’s headquarters of over fifty years to new offices; and most recently developing processes and solutions as hundreds of staff transitioned to working remotely.

“Through rapid and sweeping cultural and business changes over more than three decades,

Tammy has been a model leader, acting with integrity, foresight, imagination, utmost professionalism, and compassion. Her influence and contributions have been priceless,” said Brian K. Milford, President & Publisher.

Tammy Gaines’ strong commitments to the mission of The United Methodist Church, her passion for excellence in customer service, and the high standards of professionalism she has exhibited have inspired and set the pace for scores of staff members over her long and storied career.

Ms. Gaines and her husband Mike plan to continue to reside in the Nashville area.

Published by Hendrickson Publishers, the P45, P46, and P47 facsimiles will be available for purchase on December 1, 2020 at $399 retail

This New Testament Papyri facsimile collection brings three of the oldest manuscripts of the Bible to a modern audience.

In a historic collaboration, Hendrickson Publishers—in partnership with the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts—has published a deluxe facsimile edition of New Testament papyrus codices written in the third century.

The partially preserved papyrus codices P45, P46, and P47 are dated from the third century and contain passages from all four Gospels, the book of Acts, the Pauline Epistles, the book of Hebrews, and the book of Revelation, making them some of the most significant witnesses to early Christian Scripture that exist today.

The culmination of the project is the production of a museum-quality print facsimile that allows the Scriptures to come alive like never before. It captures the ancient beauty of the text: its scars and handwritten scripts; its age and timeless significance.

Printed in duplicate against white and black backgrounds, the high-resolution images in this facsimile edition reproduce the fragmented papyri in stunning clarity at their actual size, offering scholars and students of New Testament manuscripts an unparalleled encounter with these crucial witnesses to the Bible’s textual history.

It will be available for purchase on December 1, 2020, and customers may purchase the facsimiles, the corresponding art prints, or the P47 transcription companion directly at www.hendricksonrose.com.

What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?: An Interactive Bible Study Guide

Is Companion To Record-Breaking Original TV Series about the Life of Jesus Christ

What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?: An Interactive Bible Study Guide by author, speaker Amanda Jenkins, American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins and Dr. Douglas S. Huffman is based on the groundbreaking television show The Chosen, which has received over 64 million views. Releasing Jan. 21, 2021 from David C Cook, this eight-week Bible study guide for individuals and small groups is designed to bring both the Old and New Testaments to life in a brand new way.

As an illustration of the truth of God’s Word and the identity principles laid out in Isaiah 43:1-21, fulfilled in Jesus, The Chosen TV series viewers are taken deeper with the characters and in their understanding of the Bible with What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?: An Interactive Study Guide. The guide not only works in tandem with each of the eight Season 1 episodes of The Chosen, but is also an in-depth study to discover more of Jesus through the culture in which He lived and those He knew and healed.

“Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications; although it says even more about the Chooser than the chooses,” says Amanda Jenkins. “We are loved because He’s love. We are saved because He’s merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus is our ticket in, making Isaiah 43 and all its perks as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen nation back then.

“But what does it actually mean to be Chosen?” asks Amanda. “To answer that question, we’re going Old school—Testament that is. Which will lead us back to the New. Which will lead us directly to Jesus.”

“The Chosen TV series isn’t the end game,” adds Dallas Jenkins, who created, directed and co-wrote The Chosen. “Ultimately, it’s a tool to revive the viewer’s passion for Jesus, but discipleship is the end game, and it’s why we put so much time, effort and prayer into this study guide.”

“Millions of people have watched and been impacted by The Chosen TV series, and we could not be more thrilled to partner with the Jenkinses to offer this incredible new resource to churches and individuals,” says Michael Covington, Vice President Publishing & Acquisitions. “Group leaders, Sunday school teachers and everyone who participates in this interactive study guide will find their faith enriched by the experience.”

Along with contextual Scripture references, character scripts from the series, teaching and suggested discussion prompts, What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? will help readers understand the answer to that titular question. Being chosen means: 

• You Are Called
• You Rest
• You Are Cherished
• You Change Course
• You Are a Witness
• You Are Made New
• You Are Established
• You Are Carried

In addition to the study guide, also available are digital resources such as sermon outlines, video clips, customizable teacher/facilitator guides, recommendations for using in-person and virtually for both community and small groups, and promotional materials.

What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?: An Interactive Bible Study Guide will be available through www.thechosen.tv/store, from David C Cook and at retailers beginning January 21.
