The Good Book Company launches new, easy-to-read devotionals designed for accessibility

July 7, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

CHARLOTTE, NC – The Good Book Company is excited to announce the new Plain and Simple Devotional series, created to serve those who find reading a challenge. Explore the Life of Jesus and Explore the Life of Jonah will release simultaneously (The Good Book Company, July 2025).

Author Christine Dalton was inspired to create these devotionals by a friend at church who struggled with literacy. Intended to serve those who find reading difficult for one of a variety of reasons, each devotion is only 2 pages long and features clear, concise language. Particular care has been taken with text legibility, and points are made in short sentences instead of longer paragraphs.

Dave Deuel, Senior Research Fellow Emeritus at The Joni Eareckson Tada Disability Research Center, says of the series, “At last, accessibility-sensitive discipleship materials that include all who seek a closer relationship with the Lord. No one should be excluded from spiritual growth or church life.”

The Good Book Company hopes this unique series of devotionals will succeed in its aim to make daily Bible reading inclusive and accessible. Literacy ministries, English-as-a-Second-Language ministries, and other ministries serving those who may find long, heavy reading difficult will benefit from using and distributing these resources.

ABOUT THE GOOD BOOK COMPANY
Founded in 1991, The Good Book Company (TGBC) is an international Christian publisher. Their Bible studies, books, devotionals, videos, tracts, evangelistic courses, and training materials are used throughout the English-speaking world, and in translation in over 35 languages worldwide. Everyone at TGBC is passionate about the Lord Jesus, His word, His church, and His gospel of grace. They create and publish biblical, relevant, and accessible resources that will encourage Christians to keep going, keep growing, and keep sharing their faith.

A Timeless Message Turns 25: WaterBrook Commemorates Joanna Weaver’s Spiritual Classic “Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World”

July 7, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

Over 1.6 Million Copies Sold

[COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — July 7, 2025]  WaterBrook celebrates with Joanna Weaver the 25th anniversary of Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, her beloved and bestselling book that has sold more than 1.6 million copies, been translated into 10 languages, including Spanish, and ministered to the hearts of women around the globe. Originally released in July 2000, this powerful and grace-filled message has continued to resonate with readers who long to balance the demands of daily life with a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus.

Weaver’s timeless classic has become a touchstone for Christian women’s spiritual growth. Through the New Testament story of Mary and Martha, the book offers a profound invitation for women who feel overwhelmed by expectations and exhausted by a world that demands they be everything to everyone. With honesty, wisdom, and humor, Weaver reminds us that Jesus’s invitation to Martha still stands today—for all of us to choose “the better part,” a life of intimacy with Him.

“I’m so grateful that God continues to use this book to speak to the hearts of women of all ages,” Weaver said. “I get notes from high school and college students as well as women in their 80s (sometimes from the same Bible study!) telling me how the book has transformed their walk with Jesus. All praise goes to Him!”   

“Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World has stood the test of time because it speaks to the soul of every woman trying to live faithfully in a fast-paced world,” said Campbell Wharton, Publisher, Penguin Random House Christian. “Joanna Weaver’s message of grace, balance, and intimacy with Christ continues to inspire generation after generation, and we are honored to celebrate this incredible milestone alongside her. This book is not only a spiritual classic—it’s one of WaterBrook’s most enduring backlist titles and remains an important part of our program.”

Over the years, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, along with its 10-week video Bible study and participant guide, has become a cherished companion for women’s ministries, small groups, and individual readers seeking transformation at the heart level. As we celebrate 25 years of impact, WaterBrook honors the book’s ongoing legacy: to call women into deeper devotion, more joyful service, and a life shaped not by hustle, but by holy relationship.

Joanna Weaver is the bestselling author of several books and Bible studies, including Having a Mary Spirit, Lazarus Awakening, and the devotional, At the Feet of Jesus. A beloved speaker and teacher, Joanna’s ministry has helped women worldwide grow spiritually and embrace God’s extravagant grace.

New board books releasing this fall reignite nostalgia for parents and introduce young readers to the beloved characters

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 24, 2025) – Tommy Nelson, an imprint of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, announced today a new licensing agreement with WildBrain, a global leader in kids’ and family entertainment, to bring beloved Strawberry Shortcake and her “Berry Besties” to life for a new generation, beginning with two upcoming board books: You Are Berry Special (ISBN: 9781400254521), and Strawberry’s Sweet Surprise: A Scratch-and-Sniff Book (ISBN: 978-=1400254552), both releasing November 4, 2025 in the U.S. and Canada.

Matthew W. Bates to publish with IVP Academic

June 30, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

April 2025 | LISLE, IL—Award-winning author and New Testament professor Matthew W. Bates has signed a contract with IVP Academic for the Summer 2028 release of his book tentatively titled ChristFormed: How Beholding Jesus Leads to Discipleship.

“We are thrilled to have Matthew Bates writing for IVP Academic,” said acquiring editor Rachel Hastings. “His strong publishing history of writing both for the scholar and the student, coupled with his passion for the church, will inform this exegetically rich and spiritually formative project for readers.”

Bates (PhD, University of Notre Dame) is a professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary in Lisle, Illinois. He is the author of Gospel Allegiance, Salvation by Allegiance Alone, and Why the Gospel?, which won a 2024 Christianity Today Book Award and was named the 2024 Resource of the Year by Outreach magazine. Bates also cofounded and cohosts the popular Bible and theology podcast OnScript.

“Our initial viewings of Jesus are cloudy, leading to confusion about discipleship and a culture of division,” Bates writes. “It is only when we continue to journey with him that we truly see his character and practices. As we increasingly gaze on the genuine Jesus, the vision is so desirably good that transformation into his image is inescapable. To fully see Jesus is to be ChristFormed.”

ChristFormed will be a ten-stage journey of transformative discipleship that guides readers into the heart of Jesus. Since Jesus intentionally taught his followers how to be disciples as they walked together toward Jerusalem, it draws insights especially from Luke’s travel narrative. In Luke 10–19 Jesus reveals his character, habits, and practices, so that those who desire to see can be changed through participatory viewing. Each chapter will contain practical tips, questions, and suggested exercises that are useful for personal discipleship, church groups, a sermon series, or the classroom.

Bates said, “Dallas Willard’s insight is true: spiritual change begins with accurate vision. To be changed in the present, we must behold as much of the authentic Christ as we can now. This book focuses on correctly viewing Jesus as we journey with him to reshape our desires and practices.”

New Lifeway Women studies aid in learning truth, navigating culture

June 30, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Four new Bible studies from Lifeway Women aim to aid churches and individuals in discipleship this fall. Participants will learn biblical truth, as well as how to navigate the challenges of modern culture with God’s Word.

“We are thrilled to release these powerful new studies—each one a fresh invitation to deepen your journey with the Lord,” said Andrea Lennon, director of Lifeway Women. “These studies highlight vital aspects of our faith walk, from discovering unshakable joy and cultivating true well-being to developing spiritual strength and embracing godly wisdom for life.

“As you open God’s Word, you’ll be challenged to grow, encouraged by truth, equipped for the journey, and inspired to pursue Jesus with renewed passion and purpose.”

Daring Joy by Nicole Zasowski
Licensed marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski points women to the “fullness of joy” that Jesus promises in the Scriptures in her new seven-session study, “Daring Joy: What Six Women in the Bible Teach Us About the Power of Celebration When it Feels Risky, Complicated, and Even Impossible.” Drawing from the lives of six biblical women—Eve, Sarah, Miriam, Mary the mother of Jesus, Elizabeth and Mary Magdalene—Zasowski explores how joy is not circumstantial but rooted in God’s character. “Joy requires us to open ourselves up to the possibility of disappointment and loss,” Zasowski writes, “making it one of the most courageous emotions we can experience.”

More Than Enough by Christine Hoover
When Bible teacher and women’s minister Christine Hoover began writing “More Than Enough: God’s Strength in Our Weakness,” her oldest son was diagnosed with cancer. That season of suffering became the foundation for this verse-by-verse study of 2 Corinthians. “These experiences are the moments where what we believe meets real life,” she writes in reflecting upon her family’s journey with cancer.  Hoover challenges the cultural idol of self-sufficiency and invites women to discover God’s strength in their vulnerability. The eight-session study includes teaching videos and reflection prompts designed to help women find God’s sustaining power in life’s hardest moments.

Body & Soul by Lisa Whittle
In “Body & Soul,” author and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle addresses the often-neglected connection between physical health and spiritual life. Whittle offers a countercultural approach to help women find lasting relief in grounded, evergreen body worth and identity. Using a scriptural framework, Whittle lays out a “whole body theology” to address cultural body issues on the foundation of Imago Dei. “Every day we’re bombarded with messages about our bodies,” said Whittle in this six-session study. “Fix this, change that. But what if we stopped seeing our bodies as projects to perfect and instead understood and embraced them as God’s incredible design?”

The Way of Wisdom by Jen Wilkin and others
Featuring contributions from six respected Bible teachers—Jen Wilkin, Ruth Chou Simons, Kelly Minter, Adrienne Camp, Elizabeth Woodson and Courtney Doctor—“The Way of Wisdom” offers a collaborative exploration of biblical wisdom from Proverbs. The study seeks to bring godly principles to everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, leadership and more.

Laura Magness, editor of “The Way of Wisdom,” writes in its introduction, “We’ll come to understand what it means when Scripture tells us, ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom’ (Proverbs 9:10). We’ll be taught how to interpret the principles behind the wisdom sayings and apply them to every area of our lives…. And we’ll see that what is true of all Scripture is true of Proverbs: this is a book of the Bible that points us to Jesus, the true and wise One who is the way and shows us how to walk in Him.”

Each study has video components and leader guides, as well as free promotional assets available at lifeway.com/women.

In operation since 1891, Lifeway Christian Resources is one of the leading providers of Christian resources, including Bibles, books, Bible studies, group curriculum, Christian music and movies, Vacation Bible School and church supplies, as well as camps and events for all ages. Lifeway is the world’s largest provider of Spanish Bibles. Based in Brentwood, Tennessee, Lifeway operates as a self-supporting nonprofit. For more information, visit Lifeway.com.

New series by New Growth Press helps young adults apply theology to the real world

June 30, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

The Real-World Theology Series Launches August 25, 2025

These two books are part of a new series published in partnership with Spurgeon College. Each book helps youth and young adults understand how the Bible speaks to the practical details of life


Mike McGarry helps readers discover that being created in the image of God means your identity, worth, and purpose aren’t dependent on a list of accomplishments—they are given by the One who made you. At the core, what makes you “You”? Is it the way you look? Your family? Your accomplishments? The more you try to look within, the more confusing it can become. The good news is, your identity is a gift from God, not something you have to discover within yourself. For those who follow Christ, their identity is always secure in him. God created us to be his image-bearers, as icons who remind the world of his majesty and nature. When we discover our purpose in his big story, it helps us make sense of our individual stories. In Iconic, you will see how being and bearing God’s image helps you discover your own identity as a loved child of God and shapes your relationship with him, others, and yourself.

  • Learn how to live as God’s image bearer at school, work, and in everyday relationships.
  • See how your identity as an image-bearer gives deep meaning to everything you do.

Alex Duke traces the journey of God’s people through the Bible to show readers how Jesus gives direction, peace, and strength every step of the way—exactly what’s needed to sustain us on our journey home.Did you ever feel a little bit out of place—like you don’t quite belong? Most of us have, and for good reason. The world we live in is not our true home. Just like our fellow travelers throughout the Bible, we are wandering, trying to find our way home. Once we find Jesus and let him be our guide, we can find the proper path for our long journey home.  Learning to live as a pilgrim in this world will help you to make sense of what’s hard and teach you to depend on Jesus when you are feeling displaced and alone. Through Nomad, you will discover how your individual story has fit into God’s big story all along.

  • Learn to live​as a pilgrim, depending on Jesus through all of life’s ups and downs.
  • Discover how finding your place in God’s story will encourage you when you feel alone and like you don’t belong.

WaterBrook signs Luke Lefevre in two-book deal

June 30, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

JUNE 27, 2025 — Luke Lefevre, named by Outreach Magazine as one of the top 20 Christian leaders today, brings his passion to see revival in the church to WaterBrook in a two-book deal starting with Dethrone Fear: Finding the Courage to Not Waste Your Life.

As the Director of Ministry Engagement & Gen Z at Gather25 and a regular speaker at some of the largest and most influential churches and conferences in the world, LeFevre sheds light on the spiritual warfare raging around us, particularly the lies about the cost of boldly living out our faith and sharing the gospel. Rather than a rally cry to “be brave” or “try harder,” this book offers practical tools to understand the root of our fear, how to overcome it, and practical steps to fulfill the calling we were created for. As revival continues to sweep across America, this book promises to be a handbook of clarity and courage in what many are calling the next Great Awakening.

Book One is scheduled for publication in Spring 2027. World rights were acquired at auction by Will Anderson, Senior Editor at Waterbrook, from Karen Yates and Curtis Yates at Yates & Yates.

Tyndale House Publishers announce strategic distribution partnership with Casa Creación

June 23, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

Carol Stream, IL (June 23, 2025) — Tyndale House Publishers is pleased to announce a new global sales and distribution partnership with Casa Creación, a leading Spanish-language Christian publisher based in Miami, Florida. This agreement marks a significant expansion of Tyndale’s Spanish-language offerings, with over 350 nonfiction Christian titles now becoming available exclusively through Tyndale’s distribution channels. The mix of Casa Creación products includes books, Bibles, and select children’s storybooks.

Beginning July 1, 2025, trade partners will be able to order Casa Creación titles through Tyndale House customer service at 855-277-9400, and orders can be placed through our sales representatives. Order fulfillment will be handled by Tyndale House Publishers’ warehouse.

“We are pleased to partner with Casa Creación to help them fulfill their mission and reach. Their catalog represents a large variety of authors and products, including many original titles in Spanish for the Spanish-speaking public throughout the world,” said Peter Cerra, Senior Director of International Publishing and Sales. “This is an exciting moment for Tyndale as we continue to expand our growing Spanish title list.”

This is a new partnership between the two organizations. Casa Creación will continue to manage marketing, editorial, acquisition, and printing, while Tyndale will lend its sales and distribution expertise to expand the reach of these titles globally. Cerra initiated the partnership and is excited to manage the relationship as we move forward together.

“This agreement with Tyndale represents much more than a change in distribution; it is a new beginning that honors our legacy and projects us strongly into the future. It is a privilege to partner with a publisher that shares not only our mission and vision, but also our commitment to advancing the Kingdom of God. This strategic alliance reinforces our purpose of impacting lives for the glory of God through Christian literature,” stated Sergio Daldi, president and owner of Casa Creación.

Tyndale’s teams have been building for this type of expansion, and Tyndale is in the final stages of preparing systems and inventory to ensure a smooth launch in July.

Since its founding in 1962, Tyndale House Publishers has been a trusted voice for generations of readers. Today, it is one of the largest independent Christian publishers in the world. Tyndale has proved a faithful guide, helping readers discover the life-giving truths of the Bible. Its mission is to open God’s Word to as many people as possible in language they can relate to and understand. Tyndale’s independent status allows it to follow its founding model, giving a substantial portion of annual revenue—millions of dollars per year—through corporate donations and the work of Tyndale House Foundation. With every book purchased, Tyndale readers help meet the physical and spiritual needs of people around the world.

Founded in Miami in 2001, Grupo Nivel Uno integrates three publishing houses, Casa Creación, Nivel Uno, and Vida Cristiana. Its mission is to contribute to the spiritual growth of people by providing Bibles, books, and resources that edify, restore, and transform lives to fulfill God’s eternal purpose.
