NASHVILLE, TENN. (JANUARY 23, 2025) Pastor, author and podcaster Adam Griffin is set to release a whimsical children’s book, What Will You Teach Me? (B&H Publishing), on February 4th. The book can be pre-ordered now here.

“I wanted to equip parents with a book that teaches kids their letters, numbers, and colors while sharing how all of them come from God and teach us about God,” shares Adam Griffin. “You can read this book 20 times and see something new every time!”

As a father himself and host of the Family Discipleship Podcast, Griffin knows the importance of teaching children to remember that we can see God’s work in everything that we do. What Will You Teach Me? follows a group of adorable, whimsical animals as they discover that everything we learn was created by God. The reader will love finding little details in Pablo Pino’s illustrations and watching two bear cubs learn their letters, numbers, music, food, right and wrong, and that God is the creator of all those things!

This board book includes interactive, educational opportunities for kids to count, name colors and shapes, point out different types of animals, and more. God is the inventor of all things we can learn, and parents get to help teach those things to their children. Teaching basic skills is an opportunity for family discipleship.

Adam Griffin is available for interview opportunities to talk about the idea behind this book and how parents can find opportunities to teach their children to love and worship the God who created everything.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. —  Lifeway’s B&H Publishing Group and Holman Bibles have released the “CSB Grace Bible for Adults” with dyslexia in partnership with 2K/DENMARK and Cambridge University. This announcement follows the “CSB Grace Bible for Kids” in October, a first-of-its-kind Bible for readers with dyslexia.

“Dyslexia shouldn’t keep children and adults from reading the Bible,” said Lifeway President and CEO Ben Mandrell. “We want to ensure that all families have a way of enjoying God’s Word together by providing a Bible that enhances the readability and accessibility of Scripture. At its core, the “CSB Grace Bible” is meeting that need by helping people interact with God’s Word.”

Like the “CSB Grace Bible for Kids,” the adult edition of the Grace Bible integrates academically tested typeface and design principles developed by 2K/DENMARK and the Cambridge University research department. Additionally, the Bible offers an inclusive reading approach that improves visual processing for adults by adding space between letters, words, lines and paragraphs with distinct letter forms that enhance readability.

Klaus Krogh, founder of 2K/DENMARK, began developing the Grace typeface five years ago. Cambridge University heard about his work and asked if they could participate in developing and testing the typeface and design. In addition to the added weight to the baseline of letters, the Grace typeface helps readers differentiate between pairs of similar letters like m and n or p and q. Readers will also notice special-colored page overlays that enhance visual processing and can reduce visual stress.

“We know faith changes lives, and we’d like as many as possible to be given the chance to change their life by the message in the Bible,” said Krogh. “We hope that in the same way this Bible has been transformational for kids with dyslexia, the same will be true of adults and their ability to read God’s Word.”

According to the International Dyslexia Association, 15-20% of the population has a language-based learning disability. Of the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70-80% have deficits in reading. Many times, these readers struggle to see letters as fixed on a page and instead see letters as “bouncing balloons,” as Krogh described it. To address this, the Grace typeface ensures better readability by making letters heavier toward the bottom, so they stay fixed to the baseline.

“When we released the ‘CSB Grace Bible for Kids’ last fall, we hoped to increase biblical literacy among kids and help establish a foundation of spiritual disciplines that would lead to greater engagement with God’s Word,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “The feedback from families on the Grace Bible has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to see how providing a resource for adults with dyslexia will further enhance engagement with and enjoyment of Scripture.”

Distinguished Ad-man Co-authors Book Re-imagining Scriptural Stories and Parables for Modern Audiences

Mike Elms and Ivan Filby present the accounts of the Biblical texts in a striking way, through contexts and analogies that are understandable to 21^st century readers

PLANO, Texas (January 20, 2025) – Mike Elms, a former CEO of two major UK ad agencies, and Ivan Filby, President and CEO of Seedbed, a subsidiary of Asbury Theological Seminary, team up to present the timeless truth of Jesus’ parables in a reimagined format. Jesus Unbranded (Invite Press, January 2025) is an artistically rich two-volume guide for modern-day Christians who find themselves disengaged, disinterested in or else confused by the ancient settings of the parables in the Gospels.

Jesus’ parables were culturally relevant to his time. However, Western Christians today live in a significantly different world than their ancient Palestinian counterparts, and as such, many of the instructional stories and analogies from scripture fall flat on modern ears.

“The themes and messaging of the parables are timeless, but the storylines are time limited,” explains Elms. “The parables Jesus told had real ‘cut-through.’ He knew his audiences, he knew the culture, he knew the messaging he wanted to convey and he constructed his storylines accordingly.”

Perceiving indifference to the Biblical message among his fellow church congregants, Elms felt a call to use his extensive expertise as CEO of the Ogilvy & Mather and Tempus Group advertising agencies to strategically revitalize the Christian faith with cultural relevance and application. Jesus Unbranded, featuring AI-generated images by Jason Moore, author of AI and the Church, brings the stories of Christ to life through modern-day imagery and storytelling.

“My goal was to put myself in Jesus’ shoes and reimagine the stories in a way he would explain them to 21^st century listeners,” said Elms. “If Jesus were telling stories today, he’d use different images to share his timeless truths—people and scenes such as builders and electricians; entrepreneurs, Ferraris and Fords; a ski-trip and a theme park; stock market traders and hospice nurses.”

Jesus Unbranded is broken into two books, based on the scriptural timeline and the tone, tenor and purpose of each message—preserving the essence of the original scriptures. The first volume, referred to as “stories without spin,” focuses on the “teaching parables,” or Jesus’ early ministry in and around Galilee. The second volume, “stories with bite,” begins as Jesus approached the climax of his ministry, resulting in his Passion and crucifixion.

Each parable begins with a “rewiring” of the original, followed by a “reminding” of the original text from the NIV Bible translation. The guide then walks readers through how to interpret the parables, allows them to reflect with provided questions and gives them blank note space to respond to what they have just read.

“To spend time with the parables enables us to see and engage with the spiritual themes that permeate the events, relationships and situations in our everyday lives,” says Elms. “The lives that we are living, here and today.”

Jesus Unbranded releases January 28, 2025, from Invite Press. For more information, visit https://www.inviteministries.org/lp/jesus-unbranded-bundle-landing.

Mike Elms is an author and former adman with over 40 years of leadership experience in the industry, heading two UK advertising agencies, Ogilvy & Mather and Tempus Group PLC. Currently, he is the Chair of Trustees at Christian Publishing and Outreach and has worked with many prominent Christian organizations, including MAF, TWR Radio and ChurchAds.Net. He has served the church as an Anglican Churchwarden and a Baptist Deacon and is a contributor to “Thought for the Day” on Radio Kent. Mike is the author of Parables: Rewired, and the imminent Proverbs: Restitched in Time. Jesus Unbranded is his latest release and will be made available on January 28, 2025.

Ivan Filby Ivan is an ordained minister in the Free Methodist Church and holds a Ph.D. in Management and a M.A. in Evangelism. He taught at The University of Dublin: Trinity College for sixteen years before moving to the USA to chair the Management Department at Greenville University. Following a year as business school dean at Point Loma Nazarene University, Ivan returned to Greenville U to serve as its 12th president. Ivan has authored two books: Livestream: Learning to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit and Speak Tenderly: Prophetic ministry seasoned with grace.

Ada, Mich. (Jan. 10, 2025)— With great sadness, Baker Publishing Group announces the loss of a beloved author, Quin Sherrer, who was a pioneering voice in Christian literature and spiritual warfare.

Sherrer, who authored or co-authored 31 inspirational books throughout her career, was best known for her groundbreaking work “A Woman’s Guide to Spiritual Warfare,” published under Baker’s Chosen Books imprint. Her titles with Chosen Books have collectively sold more than 500,000 copies, touching countless lives with their practical wisdom and spiritual insight.

Her influence spans more than three decades of ministry through writing, teaching, and prayer. She died January 6, 2025, at the age of 91.

“Quin was so many gifts all in one,” reflects Kim Bangs, editorial director of Chosen Books. “Her impact as an author was matched only by her dedication as a prayer warrior and mentor. Even in our last meeting three years ago, her instinct was to stop and pray—a characteristic that defined her ministry and personal relationships alike.”

A graduate of Florida State University with a B.S. in Journalism, Sherrer combined her professional training with deep spiritual conviction, appearing on more than 370 radio and television programs, including the 700 Club, TBN, and Daystar. Her ministry took her across 47 states and 12 nations, experiences that enriched her writing and speaking engagements.

Beyond her public ministry, Sherrer was known for her personal investment in emerging authors, dedicating significant time to mentoring writers and helping them navigate the publishing industry. Her legacy continues through the many writers she encouraged and equipped over the years.

Her extensive catalog continues to serve as a valuable resource for Christians seeking to deepen their prayer life and understand spiritual warfare.
