[NASHVILLE, TENN., June 15, 2020—] As the world moved into quarantine to curb the spread of COVID-19 earlier this year, more families planted gardens than ever before. Parents, many looking for worthwhile activities for their little ones home from school, found a unique educational experience as they planted seeds in soil and watched what happened.

In her debut children’s book, “Gracie’s Garden” (July 14, 2020, B&H Publishing), bestselling author and podcaster Lara Casey explores many important lessons that she and her family—like so many others in their own backyards this spring—have learned in the garden.

“Gracie’s Garden” is a fun and meaningful story that helps kids learn patience by sowing seeds in faith and expectantly waiting for God to do his work. The main character, Gracie, with the help of an adorable squirrel friend, Nutty, kindly imparts the wisdom she knows about gardening and how God often grows things little by little, to her younger siblings, Joshua and Sarah.

“I haven’t always been good at gardening—I’ve actually killed a lot of plants in my life. But, I love being out in the garden in the dirt because I’ve learned some of the best life lessons there,” Casey said. “This book shares the best lesson my family and I have learned in the garden: little by little, God turns small seeds into marvelous things for us to enjoy. The waiting is worth it—and you can have a whole lot of fun while you wait!”

“Gracie’s Garden” highlights many other rich lessons Casey and her family have learned from the garden, including how to celebrate that God grows good things. The book’s characters are based on her own children—Grace, Sarah, and Joshua.

Over the years, Casey has experienced growth in her gardening knowledge, too. She provides new gardeners free resources on how to start their own garden in her annual Gardening 101 Guide and on her podcast.

Casey is the creator of the PowerSheets™ Intentional Goal Planner and the Write the Word™  Bible journals. As CEO of Cultivate What Matters and an influential voice online, Casey’s business and personal platforms have almost 300 thousand followers on social media. She is the creator and host of “Cultivate Your Life,” a weekly podcast devoted to helping women get unstuck. She is the author of two bestselling books, “Make It Happen: Surrender Your Fear, Take the Leap, Live on Purpose” and her most recent book, “Cultivate: A Grace-Filled Guide to Growing an Intentional Life.” Casey also leads the Making Things Happen Conference, which is in its eleventh year.

“I’m thrilled we could partner with Lara to bring her encouraging voice to young readers for the first time,” said Michelle Freeman, B&H Kids Publisher. “Her story’s timely message about patience is something children need to hear during this unprecedented year, and ‘Gracie’s Garden’ is a perfect reminder of growth, hope and daily miracles.”

Grand Rapids, Mich., June 8, 2020 – Acclaimed artist and poet Morgan Harper Nichols has signed an additional two-book contract with Zondervan. The first book in the contract, How Far You Have Come, will feature poetry, personal essays and original artwork with four-color spreads throughout and is scheduled to release in March 2021 through the Zondervan Gift division. A two-color trade book is slated to release in October 2021 through the Zondervan Books division. Nichols is represented by Mona Harper of Good Eye Management. World rights were acquired by Zondervan Gift Associate Acquisitions Editor Danielle Peterson and Zondervan Books Associate Publisher Stephanie Smith.

Nichols’ debut book, All Along You Were Blooming: Thoughts for Boundless Living (Zondervan Gift), is a collection of poetry and artwork that became an instant Wall Street Journal bestseller upon its release in January 2020.

“Morgan is an incredible observer and interpreter of the world around her,” said Laura Minchew, Senior Vice President and Group Publisher of Children’s & Gift Books at Thomas Nelson. “All Along You Were Blooming was an acquisition that broke new ground and established Morgan as a unique voice in the space of modern poetry and art. It is a joy to continue to work with such a creative force and lovely person.”

Nichols’ work is inspired by real-life interactions and stories. In 2017 she started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website and she creates art as a response to their stories. She shares the inspired artwork daily and her popular Instagram account (@morganharpernichols) has become a loyal community of 1.3 million followers.

“In our content-saturated culture, readers are looking for true meaning-makers, and Morgan has a great gift for cutting through the noise to name what is good, true, and beautiful,” says Stephanie Smith, Associate Publisher at Zondervan Books.

As an artist, Nichols has collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, LiveNation, Aerie and more. As a designer and author, her work has been available in many stores, including Anthropologie, Barnes and Noble and Target. She is on the board of directors at TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms).

ECPA hosted its fifth Virtual Summit Series webinar last week on “Christian Publishing and Racial Justice” with a record number of registrants. “It was my privilege to moderate a dynamic conversation with some of the most influential publishers and writers giving voice to this issue,” stated ECPA president Stan Jantz.  Panelists included:

Trillia Newbell, acquisitions editor for Moody Publishers and the author of several books, who emphasized the need to identify and publish writers of color who will write books on a variety of topics, including race.

Ed Gilbreath, executive editor at InterVarsity Press, who shared the challenges people of color face as they try to fit into the cultures of mostly-white Christian organizations. He stressed the need for mentorship.

LaDonna Boyd, the fifth-generation president of R.H. Boyd Publishing Corporation, suggested taking a broad approach to your publishing program from authors of color.

Skot Welch, CEO of Global Bridgebuilders, reminded us that “diversity is a God-given mandate.”

Jeff Crosby, publisher of InterVarsity Press and ECPA board chair, offered the opening prayer for the webcast, composed by noted educator and writer, Howard Thurman, author of the seminal book, Jesus and the Disinherited (Beacon Press).

Jeff Wright, CEO of Urban Ministries, Inc., provided a video with 5 steps to making progress in the area of diversity:

1. Read history while investing in meaningful recruitment and training;
2. Listen to employee perspectives and establish a shared vision;
3. Recruit consultants, employees, and board members who can help move your companies forward in these critical areas;
4. Establish mentoring initiatives; and
5. Hold meetings where all views are welcomed and sought out.

Jeff also shared a powerful video on racism by Dr. Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility (Beacon Press).

“ECPA will continue to encourage conversations like these, as well as provide valued resources to grow diversity in our industry,” said Jantz.

ECPA recently published a list of Christian Books on Racial Justice and is currently compiling, from its members, Christian book lists from Authors of Color in a variety of categories. For more information on the book submission process, contact ECPA.

UPDATED ON JULY 27, 2020
by Stan Jantz, President and CEO, ECPA

TEMPE, ARIZ. — June 8, 2020 — In the last 90 days, the world has forever changed.  Though we may not yet see the lasting impacts of the current global pandemic and culture-wide lament against racial injustice — we do more clearly see the responsibility that publishing, especially Christian publishing, can and must have to inspire hope and offer tools for change.

Publishing has always been a valuable vehicle for reform and change in times of crisis. “This is precisely the time when artists go to work,” Toni Morrison wrote. “… We speak, we write, we do language.  That is how civilizations heal.”  And so it is that artists—especially artists of color—are working with publishers on books and resources that will respond to our current crisis. In the meantime, we can look to the books already published that offer important perspectives on the things we need to do as well as the people we want to become.

CHRISTIAN BOOKS ON RACIAL JUSTICE

To that end, the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) has compiled a list of Christian Books on Racial Justice. The publishing members of ECPA were asked to submit their recommendations, and the response was both overwhelming and encouraging.

More than 140 books are on the list.  Some are classics like Let Justice Roll Down by Dr. John Perkins, and some are brand new, such as Is Christianity a White Man’s Religion?: How the Bible Is Good News for People of Color by Dr. Antipas Harris. Some of the listed books are inspiring, while others are challenging. Yet all offer important perspectives on the things we need to do as well as the people we want to become.  ECPA has followed this list with additional Christian book lists by Authors of Color.

A NEEDED CONVERSATION: CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING AND RACIAL JUSTICE

ECPA presented a special webcast to ask and answer the question: How can publishers speak to the issue of racial justice?  A panel of leading voices from the Christian publishing and writing community offered their perspectives on a way forward to a place of hope, healing, and change – featuring LaDonna Boyd, President & CEO, R.H. Boyd Publishing Corp.; Trillia Newbell, author of several books and acquisitions editor at Moody Publishers; Skot Welch, Founder and President, Global Bridgebuilders; and Jeff Wright, President & CEO, Urban Ministries, Inc.

Another webinar was held on July 16 on “Diversity Initiatives that Sustain Meaningful Change” with Dr. Theon Hill (Associate Professor, Wheaton College), Jevon Bolden (CEO, Embolden Media), and Skot Welch (Founder, Global Bridgebuilders).

PubU ONLINE TO FEATURE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION TRACK OF SESSIONS

ECPA will soon be announcing the program for PubU Online, a series of training webinars for publishing practitioners that will be held throughout the month of September.  The program’s theme will be, “Publishing in a Time of Crisis.”  Sessions will be in tracks for Marketing, Editorial, Data-Delivery-Workflow, and a new track on Diversity & Inclusion.  The track will be led by Dr. Theon Hill, race scholar and professor of communications at Wheaton College.  Dr. Hill will also deliver the opening webcast session on August 31.  Additional details on the PubU Online program is available at ECPAPubU.org.

ECPA has compiled additional industry resources to promote diversity on their website at ECPA.org/page/DIVERSITY.  Resources include:

• Industry White Papers on Diversity
• Consulting Services of Global Bridgebuilders
• Programming at ECPA events
• Emerging Leader program
• Publishing in Color conferences

6-Week Video Bible Series Based on David and Goliath

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 8, 2020 — These challenging and historic times of grief and hardship weigh heavy as giant obstacles in people’s lives the world over. Hoping to bring a biblical perspective to these crises and personal strife, Bible Gateway, the most visited Christian website in the world, will host the six-week free Facing Your Giants Online Bible Study June 15-July 27, 2020 with pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado teaching Bible lessons from the life of David facing Goliath in the book of 1 Samuel. Free registration for the event is at https://bg4.me/3dLCaTz.

In the series, Lucado teaches the five ways God equips people to face the stifling giants in their lives. Like David gathering five stones to prepare to slay his Goliath, so God gives us 5 ‘stones’ to face our giants, according to Lucado. Participants in the series will learn how Past, Priority, Prayer, Passion, and Persistence work in their circumstances to live a peace-filled life centered on God.

Watch a video of Lucado introducing the online study.

Students of this series will gain automatic free access to Lucado’s online video presentation, a private online study community, and exclusive bonus content, including a digital download of the first chapter of the book Facing Your Giants: God Still Does the Impossible, printable art, and a character profile on King David. The teaching videos will be available for free online June 15 through July 27.

“The free Facing Your Giants Online Bible Study is another way Bible Gateway is equipping people to read and understand the Bible, wherever they are,” says Jonathan Petersen, content manager, Bible Gateway.

Named “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, Max Lucado’s books have sold more than 140 million copies in 54 languages. He is preaching minister of Oak Hills Church, San Antonio, Tex., known for his poetic storytelling and homespun humor.

Charlotte, NC. (June 5, 2020). The Good Book Company gratefully celebrates the milestone of Where is God in a Coronavirus World?, by John Lennox, released April 2020, surpassing 100,000 copies sold worldwide. The book has also been translated into more than 25 languages.

This short yet profound book examines the coronavirus pandemic in light of various belief systems and shows how the Christian worldview not only helps to make sense of it, but also offers a sure and certain hope to cling to.

Author and Oxford mathematics professor John Lennox explains: “This book consists of my reflections on what we are experiencing right now…I would invite you, the reader, to view the book like this: we are sitting in a coffee shop (if only we could!) and you have asked me the question on the book cover. I put down my coffee cup and attempt to give you an honest answer. What follows is what I would try to say in order to convey some comfort, support and hope.”

A Quick Turnaround

Written in two weeks, the book was produced in record time through the coordinated efforts of The Good Book Company team. “We instantly saw the opportunity and challenge to make this book available really quickly,” said UK-based Publishing Director Tim Thornborough. “We believe our role as a publisher is to support the local church with resources to help their growth and evangelism.”

This book is intended both to comfort believers and to create opportunities for conversation with unbelievers. Many members of the team, as well as individuals, ministries, and churches around the globe, have been creatively giving out copies of the book as a means of sharing the hope of Jesus Christ during uncertain times. Thornborough explains, “This book not only helps confused or anxious Christians to make sense of what God is up to in this crisis, but also speaks directly to those who do not yet know Christ, and shows them how the Christian worldview makes sense of our situation—better sense, in fact than competing worldviews, particularly atheism.”

Positive Impact

With positive reports on the receipt of this book from hard-hit countries as well as regions of the world where the gospel is typically unwelcome, The Good Book Company is especially grateful to all those who have worked to translate the book into more than 25 languages, including some minority languages like Faroese and Macedonian.

The Rights team was overwhelmed with requests for translations. “We wanted to prioritise those countries that were particularly hard hit by the virus at that time: Spain and Italy”, said Rights coordinator Elizabeth Parsons. “Knowing that there would be printing and distribution challenges in many countries, we decided to offer a license that allowed ministry-minded publishers like ourselves to distribute quickly and freely without a financial penalty to themselves. We stipulated in the contract that they should translate and produce the book within just three weeks.”

As a result, the book has been distributed for free in ebook format in countries where physical print has not been possible because of printer closures. In excess of 200,000 copies have been sent throughout Latin America through various national Bible Societies.

The Opportunity to Serve

Released as a paperback, ebook, and now as an audiobook, Where is God in a Coronavirus World? is proving to support the mission of providing Biblical, accessible, and relevant resources. J.D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, says, “This is a timely, well-written piece that helps us maintain perspective on eternity during these difficult times. John does a phenomenal job tackling some very important questions that many of us and those around us are facing as COVID-19 continues to sweep across the globe. This is a biblical, gospel-centered reminder that God is still on his throne, and he is leading us into a world where all sad things will come untrue.”

“We are delighted that this insightful and powerful book has already made such an impact,” said James Burstow, President of the The Good Book Company’s US Corp, based in Charlotte NC. “It’s at times like these when we have to put aside our usual considerations for commercial profit and work together to serve the church, as it seeks to serve the Lord and the gospel message.”

The Good Book Company also produced a book aimed at helping Christians to pray thoughtfully and biblically through the crisis: 5 Things to Pray in a Global Crisis, written by staff writer Rachel Jones.
