The winners across 12 book and Bible categories will be announced at the ECPA Awards Celebration on April 29th in Nashville, during the ECPA Leadership Summit.

The Brain Change Program: 6 Steps to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life provides a practical six-step approach to improving mental health, strengthening spiritual life, and developing Christlike character. With expertise in addiction therapy, theology, and neuroscience, Dr. Weissenbacher presents lifelong strategies for reshaping brain pathways, staying motivated through setbacks, identifying triggers, and reframing emotions.

“I wrote this book to help people control and guide their thoughts and behaviors, becoming more Christlike and encouraging others to do the same,” says Dr. Weissenbacher. “By understanding our brain and emotions, we can transform our minds, overcome sin, and reflect the fruit of the Spirit.”

After studying biology and attending seminary, Dr. Alan Weissenbacher served as a chaplain to the homeless at the Denver Rescue Mission. Moved by the struggles of those he helped, and motivated to enhance Christian rehabilitation, he pursued a doctorate in neuroscience and spiritual formation at the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley. His research focused on exploring how scientific insights into the brain could improve addiction recovery and spiritual formation. He has been interviewed by a variety of media outlets including CBN, LIFE Today, In the Market with Janet Parshall, Point of View Radio, Sirius XM Radio, Cornerstone Television, several Moody stations, and many more.

The Brain Change Program book cover was designed by Chris Garborg of Garborg Design Works under the art direction of Michelle Winger of BroadStreet Publishing.

“If I was only to have written one book, this would be it!”  -Bear Grylls

Seasoned explorer and author Bear Grylls is embarking on one of his greatest challenges yet: to make known to the world the life story of a man who altered the course of history.

In The Greatest Story Ever Told: An Eyewitness Account – which will be published globally in summer 2025 – the much-loved adventurer retells the astonishing story of Jesus as you have never heard it before in a thrilling, fast-paced narrative.

Son. Teacher. Friend.
Rebel. Renegade. Redeemer?

Written in the first person as a series of eyewitness accounts by five people who knew him best, The Greatest Story Ever Toldfollows the events of Jesus’ life, from Mary’s visit from the Angel Gabriel through to Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension into heaven. As we walk alongside Jesus’ mother Maryam, and his friends Ta’om, Shimon, Yohannan, and Maryam from Magdala, we experience through their eyes the words and actions of this extraordinary man, the reactions of those who encounter him, and the many lives that he transforms through his teachings.

“Being Yeshua’s mother was the greatest privilege afforded any woman, but also potentially the most painful.”

The Greatest Story Ever Told publishes in the US on 22 July 2025 and in the UK on 19 June 2025. In the UK, the book was pre-launched by Bear at Flame 2025 at Wembley Arena London on 15 March to an enthusiastic reception from over 10,000 young people and youth leaders. It will be featured at Spring Harvest in April 2025, as well as at other events and conferences in the UK and the US during 2025.

Churches across the world are being encouraged to read the book together as part of Hodder’s book club, The Big Church Read, formed in partnership with St Andrew’s Bookshop – and then to share the book with their local communities.

“That was the way of Yeshua. Topside down. Bottom side up. Turning the tables and rewriting conventional thinking. His was a revolution of love.”

Andy Lyon, Publishing Director at Hodder Faith, bought world rights from Caroline Michel at PFD. “Hands down, this will be the biggest book Hodder Faith has ever published,” he said. “The story of Jesus is one that needs retelling in every generation, in every culture, and nobody does it like Bear. For readers who have never picked up a Bible, this story will be enlightening from an historical perspective, but it will also offer them hope and prompt them to ask questions about who Jesus really was. For Christians, The Greatest Story Ever Told offers a fresh perspective on the familiar story – as well as a great way to talk to their friends and family about the life of Jesus!”

“You believe because you’ve seen with your own eyes. Even better blessings are in store for those who believe without seeing.”

Bear Grylls OBE is probably the most recognisable face of adventure on the planet. His books have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, including the number 1 bestselling Mud, Sweat and Tears. He is a former 21 SAS soldier, who went on to become one of the youngest ever climbers of Mount Everest, despite breaking his back in a free-fall accident only months earlier. Bear’s TV shows include the legendary Discovery channel show MAN Vs WILD and the hit show RUNNING WILD with Bear Grylls, now in its eighth season on National Geographic Channel and Disney Plus. He also hosts two hit Netflix series, You Vs Wild and BEARHUNT where Bear trains celebrities in jungle survival then tests if they can evade him! He is a double Emmy and BAFTA award winner and is Chief Ambassador to 55 million Scouts worldwide. He is married to Shara and they have three sons. His books for Hodder Faith include Mind Fuel, Soul Fuel for Young Explorers, and Mind Fuel for Young Explorers, as well as the new scouting handbook Do Your Best.

The Greatest Story Ever Told will be published in the US on 22 July 2025 as a hardback (9781399820141) by Hodder Faith at $19.99. In the UK, it will be published by Hodder & Stoughton on 19 June 2025 as a B format hardback at £14.99. Bulk discounts will be available for churches via www.greateststoryevertoldbook.com.

Bear has some availability for media interviews and to take part in events linked to this book.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 1, 2025—Campbell Wharton, SVP & Publisher, PRH Christian, announced Laura Barker will step down from her position as VP & Publisher effective April 15, 2025.

During her 22 years with the company, Barker has made an indelible mark on PRH’s Christian publishing program and the industry. Originally joining WaterBrook in 1998 as Managing Editor and eventually becoming Editorial Director, she stepped away in 2004, working as a consultant with WaterBrook and other publishers. Returning in 2009 to a combined WaterBrook & Multnomah as Editorial Director, Barker then rose to become Editor in Chief and eventually to Publisher, where she has been at the helm for the last five years. Over the course of her notable career, Barker has acquired and edited numerous award-winners and bestsellers, such as multiple books by Jennie Allen, including the million copy New York Times bestseller, Get Out of Your Head and Latasha Morrison’s ECPA Book of the Year, Be The Bridge. She has worked directly with a stellar list of authors that includes Liz Curtis Higgs, Katie Davis Majors, Anne Graham Lotz, Joanna Weaver, Randy Alcorn, Kay Arthur and numerous others. Barker also spearheaded the incredible growth of the Christian children’s program and was integral in launching the Ink & Willow creative gift product line.

Barker shared with the PRHCPG staff that she sensed it was time for her to move in a new direction. “Everything seems to confirm this as the best time to make way for fresh vision and leadership in this particular season, so rich with possibility in our new organizational structure as PRH Christian,” Barker said. “Under the continued leadership of Campbell Wharton, and given the solid foundation we’ve built together, I have every confidence that the future holds great opportunity for our program to thrive.”

“Laura set the bar extremely high as an editor and publisher, bringing heart and soul to every author she collaborated with and is universally admired and adored by her colleagues, authors and agents,” said Wharton. “She is known throughout the industry for not only her editorial acumen but also for her passionate advocacy of our authors and their messages during every step of the publishing process and for her insight and wisdom that helped shape our Christian division into a top destination for Christian publishing.”

Wharton added, “I want to thank Laura for her calm and steady leadership over the past several years, building and mentoring a terrific editorial team and for the foundation she has laid for our division’s next phase. Personally, I am deeply appreciative of her guidance and friendship over the many years we’ve worked together. Her warmth, laughter and good nature will be missed. We offer her our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes for her future.”

Newly hired Editorial Director Madison Trammel, who is already playing a key role in PRH Christian’s growth plan, will now report to Wharton. All non-fiction and fiction adult editors for WaterBrook, Multnomah, Image and Forum continue to report to Trammel. Now reporting to Wharton is Executive Editor, Sarah Rubio, who will continue to lead  PRH Christian’s Children’s program;  Susan Tjaden, VP, Executive Editor, for the Ink & Willow gift line (and will remain reporting to Trammel on the adult program); as well as Bridget Baxter, Manager, Publishing Operations.

WaterBrook, Multnomah, Image and Forum are imprints of PRH Christian Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC.

April 2025 | LISLE, IL—The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) has announced that two InterVarsity Press (IVP) titles—The Wood Between the Worlds and How Not to Waste a Crisis—are among the finalists for the 2025 Christian Book Award® program.

The Wood Between the Worlds: A Poetic Theology of the Cross is a finalist in the Christian Living category of the Christian Book Award® program. Brian Zahnd, founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri, offers compelling theopoetics and references to music, art, literature, and culture to bring new perspectives to our understanding of the cross.

Jonathan Merritt, author and contributing writer for The Atlantic, said, “Most books on the cross of Christ are regurgitations of outmoded atonement theories that say almost nothing memorable. But Brian Zahnd has once again broken the mold with his revolutionary book The Wood Between the Worlds. Herein we have a capacious portrait of Jesus’ sacrifice that is so stunningly beautiful and uniquely framed that the reader cannot look away. An enrapturing volume to reignite the church’s curiosity around the crucifixion penned by one of today’s most provocative pastors.”

The other Christian Book Award® finalist, chosen for the Ministry Resources category, is How Not to Waste a Crisis: Quit Trying Harder by Tod Bolsinger, author of the bestselling Canoeing the Mountains.

Unlike a typical leadership book, How Not to Waste a Crisis is an invitation to rethink and redefine your approach to leadership in times of upheaval. Bolsinger’s book is one of four in the Practicing Change Series. The other titles in the series include The Mission Always Wins: Quit Appeasing Stakeholders, Leading Through Resistance: Quit Pushing Back, and Invest in Transformation: Quit Relying on Trust.

Richard Stearns, president emeritus of World Vision US and author of Lead Like It Matters to God, said, “Here’s a scary truth: regardless of where you work or what you do for a living, a crisis is coming. In fact multiple crises lie ahead for you because our world is now changing at an unprecedented rate, and those changes will render you and your organization obsolete if you can’t find a way to continuously adapt to these coming crises. Leading through these changes will require leaders who aren’t afraid to slay some sacred cows, challenge conventional wisdom, and even live outside their own leadership comfort zones. Adaptation will be the single most critical survival skill of the twenty-first century. Tod Bolsinger’s four short books in the Practicing Change Series are the ‘emergency preparedness drill’ that you will be grateful to have read when the next ‘tsunami’ hits your organization.”

The winners in each category, along with the 2025 Christian Book of the Year®, will be presented at the at the ECPA Awards Celebration in Nashville on April 29th.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 2025 – Zondervan Books, a leading publisher of Christian literature, celebrates two Christian Book Awards finalists:

• Ghosted: An American Story by Nancy French in the Biography and Memoir category
• The Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God by Dallas Willard in the Christian Living category

“We could not be more pleased to see these two powerful books receive this recognition from the ECPA,” said Webster Younce, Zondervan Books’ Vice President and Executive Editor. “Each book, in a distinct and indelible way, explores the counter-cultural path that followers of Jesus are called to take. And each equips readers with the tools for doing so themselves.”

Released in April 2024, Ghosted: An American Story tells the compelling, thought-provoking journey of Nancy French from her family’s mountain roots to success as a ghostwriter, only to be rejected by her party, church, and community. Released to critical acclaim, Publishers Weekly noted the book “balances her frank, up-close political analysis with an uplifting message about the faith that sustained her.”

The Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God was released in October 2024 and shares carefully crafted, previously unpublished materials from Dallas Willard. A powerful exploration of Jesus’s parables, the book unlocks ways to increase our faith and live every day more fully in the radical and surprising love of God and his kingdom.

“We are incredibly honored to have these two books named as finalists for the prestigious Christian Book Awards,” said Daniel Marrs, Vice President and Publisher for Zondervan Books. “This recognition is a testament to the remarkable talent and dedication of our authors, whose work continues to inspire and resonate deeply with our readers. It also reflects the unwavering commitment of our team at Zondervan Books to publish works of excellence that address the most profound needs and questions of our audience. We’re proud to support the creation of such impactful books and remain dedicated to bringing transformative messages to the world.”

Presented annually to the finest in Christian publishing since 1978, the Christian Book Award® program honors the “best of the year” in 12 categories. Award winners will be announced during a celebration on April 29, 2025.
