Tyndale Kids adds new title to their Faith and Science kids titles

November 17, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

A New Year of Faith and Science

Carol Stream, IL (November 17, 2025)—This spring, the Tyndale Kids team is excited to add a new title to their Faith and Science kids titles: Wake Up, Little Seed (February 3, 2026). Going from seed to table, this lift-the-flap board book connects kids (ages 0–4) with real-life plant science.

Tyndale Faith and Science books seek to foster a deep understanding of God’s creation through the lens of science. The books include one of the following: the story of creation, experiments or lessons about a branch of science, and/or elements of STEM or STEAM curriculum.

According to the Acquisitions Editor for Tyndale Kids, Talia Messina: “Each book in the line encourages discovery, whether through the story of creation, hands-on experiments, or engaging STEM and STEAM activities, so that children can see how learning about science deepens their understanding of God’s design. We’re excited about this line because it equips kids to ask big questions, think critically, and grow both in knowledge and faith.”

Tyndale Faith and Science has a wide assortment of available titles:

  • Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop by Brock Eastman (November 2021): offers kids (ages 6–10) fun scientific experiments paired with devotions
  • The Size of Everything by Alyssa Clements (September 2023): from galaxies to quarks, this picture book captures the magnitude of God’s creation by comparing readers (ages 6–10) to the size of everything
  • Quirky Critter Devotions by Annette Whipple (March 2024): presents kids (ages 8–12) with wild animal facts partnered with activities for mental and spiritual growth
  • Top 50 Science-Based Bible Lessons by Rose Publishing (January 2000): a resource filled with object lessons to introduce kids (ages 5–10) to God as the Creator of science

Be on the lookout for these and more Faith and Science titles from Tyndale Kids.

‘The Message Women’s Devotional Bible’ wins ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award

November 17, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

The award-winning devotional Bible pairs The Message® translation with insightful content written by women for women

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (November 14, 2025) — The Message Women’s Devotional Bible (NavPress, Tyndale House Publishers) received a Top Shelf Book Cover Award at this year’s Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Publishing University on October 31, 2025. Designed by Eva M. Winters, the devotional Bible’s cover and interior feature earth tones, organic textures, and other elements that bring “a sense of calm and warmth” and “add to the holistic experience of interacting with this Bible,” as one judge commented. The annual awards program was created by the ECPA “to promote and recognize outstanding book cover design in the Christian publishing industry.”

Released in August 2025 after a careful editorial and production process spanning nearly five years, The Message Women’s Devotional Bible pairs Eugene H. Peterson’s ECPA-award-winning translation of the Bible with 320 topical devotions, 52 biblical character profiles, and other supplemental content written by women for women. More than 80 contributors of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, vocations, and Christian denominations wrote content for this expansive project.

“The features in this Bible are what rose to the surface when our team asked, What do women really need in a devotional Bible?” shares Olivia Eldredge, editor of The Message® Bible. “Women need to hear from other women: diverse, trustworthy, thoughtful voices who can speak to how the Bible intersects with the lives of women. And they need to have space to bring their questions, their vulnerability, their honest wrestling — and be met by God.”

While Christian content marketed specifically to women can tend toward superficiality and stereotypes, The Message Women’s Devotional Bible pursues nuance, sensitivity, and authenticity while remaining faithful to the biblical texts. Throughout, it invites women to engage deeply with difficult or overlooked passages, offering candid reflections on the truth that women — though often unnamed in Scripture — are indeed active, vital participants in God’s story, both in the biblical narrative and today.

The Message is a contemporary translation of the Bible, created by Eugene H. Peterson and thoroughly reviewed by a team of Old and New Testament scholars to ensure accuracy and fidelity to the original biblical languages. A pastor, theologian, scholar, writer, and poet, Peterson worked directly from the Greek and Hebrew texts to craft a faithful rendering of Scripture in accessible, everyday language. It took him a full decade to complete his translation work.

Tyndale House Publishers celebrates three wins at The Christy Awards, including Book of the Year

November 17, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

Carol Stream, IL (November 17, 2025) – Tyndale House Publishers is thrilled to announce that they have been honored with three Christy Awards, including the Christy Book of the Year®. The Christy Award® celebrates excellence in the art of Christian fiction and recognize the power of faith in storytelling.

All We Thought We Knew, by Michelle Shocklee, received both The Christy Award in the Historical category and the top honor, Book of the Year, while Jamie Ogle’s As Sure as the Sea received The Christy Award in the Historical Romance category.

“We are so thrilled to see Michelle Shocklee’s and Jamie Ogle’s works recognized as a part of this year’s Christy Awards, and we are honored to publish their novels,” said Elizabeth Jackson, Senior Acquisitions Editor at Tyndale.

“Jamie and Michelle are both talented writers who bring a wonderful depth of historical research and memorable characters to life in their stories,” Jackson continued. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both Michelle and Jamie!”

In All We Thought We Knew, Shocklee delivers a compelling dual-timeline novel following two women a generation apart as they discover enduring hope amid tragedy—one in the challenging days of World War II, the other in the tumult of the Vietnam era. In 1969, Mattie Taylor returns home after her twin brother’s death in Vietnam, only to uncover long-buried family secrets hidden in a trunk of letters. In 1942, Ava Delaney, grieving her husband’s death at Pearl Harbor, takes a job at a Tennessee military base and befriends a German internee whose compassion challenges everything she believes. As their stories intertwine, both women must confront what they thought they knew about love, loyalty, and the truth that can heal generations.

Inspired by the legend of St. Nicholas, Ogle’s As Sure as the Sea transports readers to the Eastern Roman Empire in AD 310, where faith, persecution, and redemption collide. Demitria, a young woman haunted by shame and fear, risks her life to help fellow believers living in the shadow of Emperor Diocletian’s brutal rule. When her brother is injured, she crosses paths with Nikolas—a man burdened by his own past.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – The Evangelical Christian Press Association (ECPA) honored five releases from Holman Bibles and B&H Publishing Group, imprints of Lifeway Christian Resources, as winners in the 2025 Top Shelf Book Cover Awards.

“These awards honor the incredible talent and dedication of our design and editorial teams,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “Each cover reflects our commitment to not only treasuring biblical truth but also creating customer delight through beautiful, thoughtful designs.”

The Top Shelf Book Cover Awards recognize “the best book design in Christian publishing.” Winners were announced in an online event Oct. 31.

“Reading a book is not merely the reflection of sentences and paragraphs bouncing off our eyeballs,” said Devin Maddox, publisher of B&H Books. “Reading is a visually immersive, tactile experience from the moment we see a book cover across the room at our local bookstore, feel the spine in our hands and scan the typesetting. Well-published books are well designed, which is why Top Shelf Awards are important to recognize in our industry.”

Covers are judged by top designers in the publishing industry for their merits in appropriateness for the market, level of conceptual thinking and quality of execution, according to the ECPA.

“I am constantly amazed by the passion and excellence our creatives bring to this kingdom work,” said Joey Kiker, director of Lifeway Creative. “These projects often take months or even years before they reach the hands of readers, so it’s incredibly rewarding to see their efforts recognized. We’re proud of them.”

  • Holman Bibles, publisher
  • Jeff Godby, art director
  • Stephen Crotts, design and illustration

  • B&H Publishing Group, publisher
  • Susan Browne, art director

  • Children’s Category
  • B&H Kids, publisher
  • Diana Lawrence, designer

Celebrating 10 million copies: New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson reaches remarkable milestone with message encouraging readers to pursue their dreams, take risks, and live out their faith

November 10, 2025 by Sheri Toomb

AUSTIN, Texas, November 4, 2025— Renowned author Mark Batterson, whose writing has inspired millions to dream big, pray hard, and think long, has reached an incredible milestone: 10 million copies in print worldwide. This achievement underscores the resonance of his message and the countless lives his work has touched.

“Mark Batterson’s writing has inspired millions to live out their faith with courage and purpose, and reaching 10 million copies in print is a testament to the impact of his message,” said Campbell Wharton, senior vice president and publisher at Penguin Random House Christian. “At Multnomah, where we have had the privilege of publishing more than 15 of Mark’s books, we are deeply honored to walk alongside him in this journey. His new book Gradually Then Suddenly captures this moment perfectly, as it reflects the quiet, steady work of faith that ultimately transforms lives in extraordinary ways.”

As the founding pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., Batterson has become a creative force for spiritual and community renewal in the nation’s capital. His ministry extends well beyond Sunday services. With his congregation, they transformed local landmarks into centers of hope and connection, including Ebenezer’s Coffeehouse on Capitol Hill, a café and community hub that reinvests its profits into outreach; the DC Dream Center, which provides mentoring and service programs for youth and families; and The Capitol Turnaround, a historic space now revitalized for worship, education, and cultural events. Batterson also serves as a speaker and chaplain to professional athletes, sharing faith-centered leadership insights that resonate in both locker rooms and boardrooms.

For Batterson, the 10 million–copy milestone is not just a commercial success but a deeper sign of answered prayers and enduring purpose. He shares that he doesn’t see “a book sold as a book sold, but a prayer answered.” His books have become a means to extend his ministry far beyond Washington, D.C., reaching readers around the world with the same message of faith, risk, and purpose that fuels his work at National Community Church.

Gradually Then Suddenly is available today, November 4, 2025, from major booksellers and online retailers.
