Sept. 24, 2025 – Dana K. White’s bestselling Decluttering at the Speed of Life (W Publishing, an imprint of Thomas Nelson) has officially sold more than 500,000 copies across all formats, including print, ebook, and audiobook.

White, who is a decluttering expert, wrote the book by drawing on her personal journey to become less cluttered, which she chronicled on her blog, “A Slob Comes Clean.” During the process of paring down items in her own home, she discovered the need for actionable steps that fit into her schedule. The resulting methodology she created—and shares in her book—makes decluttering accessible to everyone. Readers especially love Dana’s trademark “No Mess Decluttering Method,” which centers around clearing clutter without creating a bigger mess in the process.

Since its release, Decluttering at the Speed of Life has consistently ranked as a top seller in the home and organization categories. Its real-world advice and humorous, down-to-earth tone have earned it widespread praise from both readers and media outlets, solidifying its place as a go-to guide for anyone overwhelmed by clutter.

“My goal has always been to help people find hope and make real, visible progress in their own spaces with simple, practical strategies that can be implemented in the midst of a busy life,” said White. “I’m so thankful that this book has helped turn that into a reality for so many readers.”

“This significant milestone underscores the book’s lasting impact on readers seeking practical and realistic solutions for managing their households,” said W Publishing VP and Publisher, Damon Reiss.

Dana K. White is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us, Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and videos at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Holman Bible Publishers has partnered with In His Grip Golf to create the “CSB In His Grip Golfer’s Bible,” releasing Nov. 1, to help golfers deepen their relationship with God.

Golf and faith have long been linked. Many notable professional golfers like Payne Stewart, who passed in 1999, and Scottie Scheffler, the current No. 1 ranked player in the world and a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, have used the platform of golf to declare their faith in Jesus Christ.

“We believe that golf is more than a game. It’s a gateway to the gospel,” said Scott Lehman, founder and president of In His Grip Golf.

Founded in 2007, In His Grip Golf is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to reaching men through the game of golf and equipping them to lead their families and communities. They do this through Bible study groups on courses across the U.S., as well as online videos and resources.

Going Deeper in the Scriptures

The “CSB In His Grip Golfer’s Bible” includes full-color inserts, study helps and a section that reflects the ministry’s devotional format with insights and analogies between golf and life.

“This Bible is a perfect means to encourage and equip golfers to deepen their relationship with God,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “So many people desire to know God better but aren’t sure where to start. This Bible not only provides practical instructions and devotions, but also points golfers to the In His Grip ministry, which helps foster biblical community in the lives of men.”

“We don’t just hand them God’s Word—we show them how to get a daily grip on it through the G.R.I.P. Method,” said Lehman.

The acronym for “God’s word, reveal, implement and prayer” leads readers to engage a portion of Scripture, pray and consider its applications. Designed to be compact and portable, the Bible can fit into a golf bag.

Reaching Men in America

Over 47 million people play golf in the U.S. and over 80% of those are male, according to the National Golf Foundation.

The “CSB In His Grip Golfer’s Bible” includes information about In His Grip Life Groups so men can join a group at their local golf course.

“Every Bible is an open door into a brotherhood of men who are also learning to live with a daily grip on God’s Word,” said Lehman. “Together, we encourage one another, grow in faith, and build a community that is leaving a legacy for generations to come.

“The Golfer’s Bible is more than a gift—it’s a game-changing movement of men who are choosing to live anchored in God’s truth.”

Holman Bible Publishers is the oldest Bible publisher in North America, publishing high-quality Bibles and reference resources that are trustworthy, accessible and useful for the pursuit of lifelong discipleship. Print and digital releases include the award-winning “CSB Explorer Bible for Kids,” the “CSB She Reads Truth Bible,” the “CSB Oswald Chambers Bible” and the “Rainbow Study Bible.” Holman Bibles is a subsidiary of B&H Publishing Group, and imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources.

The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be an optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. Published by Holman Bible Publishers, the CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others.

The mission of In His Grip Golf is to encourage and equip men to get a daily G.R.I.P. on God’s Word and connect to an authentic community through the game of golf, based on Proverbs 3:5-6. Its vision is to make disciples that will have an impact for Christ in their home, at work and on the course, reflecting Matthew 28:19-20.

Over thirty Christian leaders worldwide unite in a message of love and healing

Pittsburgh, PA (September 9, 2025) — What does Christian unity look like today? In newly released Dear Unity: Overdue Love Letters to Heal a Divided Church, more than thirty Christian leaders from different dominations across the globe come together to share their personal reflections, teachings, and backstories to unite the body of Christ and heal the world. These letters of love, encouragement, and forgiveness include contributions from leaders such as Francis Chan, Darlene Zschech, Cardinal P. Raniero Cantalamessa, Nicky Gumbel, Heidi Baker, Bill Johnson, Bo Sanchez, and Randy Clark.

How did the Dear Unity Movement start?

During the Global Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January 2024, Australian entrepreneur Philip Ryall and his wife Jennie invited more than sixty church leaders from various Christian backgrounds and denominations into their home for what they hoped would be the first of many Unity Meals around the world. The meal was such a success it turned into a movement to heal the broken relationships between churches.

What is Dear Unity’s goal?

Dear Unity brings a whole new perspective on the way we view our fellow believers, encouraging Christians to reach across the expanse of differences in dogmas and doctrines and be one in Christ. “The time has come for believers to drag Christian unity out of the Dark Ages and into the glorious light of a new global connectivity,” writes the movement’s founder and General Editor Philip Ryall.

Starting with influential figures within the global church, the Dear Unity Movement is designed to involve everyone, from the leaders to the layperson, to move beyond any past walls of division and embrace what unites us at our core. It is a new vision for Christianity, one that unites instead of divides, fostering experiences and expressions of love between brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ. Ryall is at the heart of this movement and ready to bring this message of unity, forgiveness, and understanding to as many people as possible.

Dear Unity released in August with official launches in three countries—the U.S., Canada, and Australia—with multiple guest contributors present at each. Ryall hopes to continue bringing together voices from churches far and wide.

Abilene, TX — To be healed is simply to live a life fully felt—not perfect and not pain-free, but beautiful anyway. In the depths of our struggles, it’s easy to feel alone—unseen, unheard, and unsure if healing is even possible. Brittany Tinsley, a self-injury recovery advocate, offers a beacon of hope for those in seasons of suffering as she shares her deeply personal journey from self-harm to healing. She invites readers to join her on a transformative path from isolation to connection, fear to hope, and hurt to wholeness.

Divided into three insightful parts, Stories Our Scars Tell explores the lingering questions that haunt us, the comforting words we long to hear, and the strength found in embracing our struggles. Tinsley’s dual perspective as both an expert and someone who has walked through the darkness of self- harm provides a unique and compassionate guide for readers. Speaking to the heart of identity, self-worth, and the pursuit of hope, Stories Our Scars Tell is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t happen overnight but is a continual reckoning between who we’ve been, who we are, and who we’d like to become.

“The most difficult (and yet most freeing) thing we can do is share the parts of us we’d never want anyone to see. Brittany is living proof of what that level of transparency promises to offer. Brittany’s vulnerable telling of her story will not only inspire you but will begin to unlock that same kind of freedom and healing in your own story.”
—Davey Blackburn, author, host of the Nothing Is Wasted podcast, founder of Nothing Is Wasted Ministries

Brittany Tinsley is a writer and speaker who shares her own story of self-injury to offer hope to others. Most recently, Brittany coauthored a chapter in the Oxford Handbook of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury.
