WHEATON, Ill.—In November 2024, Crossway launched the next phase of the One Million Bibles Initiative, with a goal of distributing one million Bibles in the Global South. The objective is to finish the funding for this initiative by December 31, 2024, to support the printing and distribution of the final 125,000 Bibles. A generous donor has agreed to match gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000.

Since the launch of the campaign in the fall of 2022, more than 875,000 Bibles have been funded through the One Million Bibles Initiative. Six hundred and fifty-six thousand of these Bibles have already been distributed to ministry partners in 27 countries throughout the Global South, with the remaining copies in the process of being delivered and distributed. For most recipients, this will be their first opportunity to read their own Bible.

“Encouragingly, the Global South is home to some of the fastest-growing Christian communities in the world; however, there remains a desperate need for access to God’s Word. This is why, in 2022, we launched the One Million Bibles Initiative,” notes Josh Dennis, Crossway’s President and CEO. “Our goal was to provide Christians in the Global South with their own copy of the Bible. Through the generosity of thousands of donors, God has already provided for this initiative in remarkable ways, and we trust that he will continue to provide as we near the completion of our goal.”

Every gift of $40 puts 10 Bibles into the hands of Christians who do not have access to the Word, which will then be doubled by the matching donation. For more information or to give online, visit crossway.org/OneMillionBibles.

“We are delighted that Betsy’s book is being recognized in this way. Betsy is the creative mastermind behind this TGC-Crossway book series for kids, and this is her second Arlo book in the seven-book series. We pray that the Lord continues to use these delightful children’s books to shape Christian virtue in the hearts and minds of the next generation!” says Justin Taylor, Crossway’s executive vice president of book publishing and book publisher.

Three additional books from Crossway won awards of merit in their respective categories:

• Waiting Isn’t a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life by Mark Vroegop, was a runner-up in the Christian Living and Spiritual Formation category
• Loving Your Adult Children: The Heartache of Parenting and the Hope of the Gospel by Gaye Clark, was the runner-up in the Marriage, Family, and Singleness category
• You Will Be My Witnesses: Theology for God’s Church Serving in God’s Mission by Brian DeVries, was the runner-up in the Missions and Global Church category

The Christianity Today Book Awards are presented to books in fifteen different categories, including Theology, Christian Living and Spiritual Formation, and Biblical Studies. Matt Reynolds, Christianity Today’s senior books editor, notes, “Our Book Awards affirm the biblical wisdom that ‘two are better than one’ (Ecc. 4:9).

As long as he gets the glory, we can stay easygoing about who gets the credit.”

Five Additional Titles Given Awards of Distinction

December 6, 2024 | WHEATON, Ill.—Crossway is pleased to announce three books have won a 2024 TGC Book Award:  Kevin DeYoung’s Daily Doctrine (October 2024) in the Popular Theology category, Coleman M. Ford and Shawn J. Wilhite’s Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls (July 2024) in the History and Biography category, and Brian A. DeVries’s You Will Be My Witnesses (October 2024) in the Missions and the Global Church category

“It’s gratifying to see the recognition for these three books—Daily Doctrine, Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls, and You Will Be My Witnesses—because they represent so much of what is near and dear to Crossway as a publishing program,” says Justin Taylor, Crossway’s executive vice president of book publishing and book publisher. “We believe in sound, accessible doctrine (as exemplified in Daily Doctrine), historical retrieval to give pastoral guidance and wisdom today (as modeled in Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls), and calls to encourage the church to fulfill the Great Commission (as commended in You Will Be My Witnesses). We give thanks to God for the opportunity to work with authors like Kevin DeYoung, Coleman Ford, Shawn Wilhite, and Brian DeVries, and to publish these outstanding books!”

Kevin DeYoung’s Daily Doctrine makes systematic theology clear and accessible for the everyday Christian by breaking down important theological topics into daily readings. TGC commends the book saying, “Though DeYoung is a prolific author, Daily Doctrine represents an intense effort over years. The result is a goldmine for discipleship and doxology.”

In Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls, Ford and Wilhite help pastors embrace a classic, patristic vision of ministry through a study of pastoral virtues and early church figures. “Though Ford and Wilhite are scholars of the patristic era, they write with pastoral sensitivity. They demonstrate how the ‘ancient wisdom’ offered by the church fathers can be applied thoughtfully and practically to the spiritual life of pastors and the shepherding ministry of local churches,” writes TGC.

You Will Be My Witnesses by DeVries examines the witness of God’s people within the story of God’s mission, draws insights from the church’s witness since Pentecost, and reflects on practical aspects of contemporary Christian witness. TGC notes, “one of the book’s greatest strengths is its measured and encouraging tone. DeVries addresses some of today’s hot-button missions topics with an irenic spirit.”

Five additional books from Crossway won awards of distinction in their respective categories:

• One with My Lord: The Life-Changing Reality of Being in Christ by Sam Allberry in the Popular Theology category
• Ruined Sinners to Reclaim: Sin and Depravity in Historical, Biblical, Theological, and Pastoral Perspective edited by David Gibson and Jonathan Gibson in the History and Biography category
• Who Are You?: A Little Book about Your Big Identity by Christina Fox and illustrated by Daron Parton in the Children’s category
• The Mission of God and the Witness of the Church by Justin A. Schell in the Missions and the Global Church category
• The Pastor as Leader: Principles and Practices for Connecting Preaching and Leadership by John Currie in the Ministry category

The Gospel Coalition Book Awards are presented to books in eleven different categories. They are judged on how they offer gospel-centered argument and application, include faithful and foundational use of Scripture (both Old Testament and New Testament), foster spiritual discernment of contemporary trials and trends, and encourage efforts to unite and renew the church.

December 2024 | LISLE, IL—InterVarsity Press (IVP) is celebrating the work of numerous authors who were honored as part of this year’s Christianity Today and Gospel Coalition Book Awards.

“We are humbled and extremely grateful for these awards programs and for the ways they shine a light on books that will continue to leave a lasting impact on the church and culture for years to come,” said Terumi Echols, IVP’s president and publisher. “I am also thankful for the authors who have entrusted these projects to us and for the dedicated teams at IVP who work alongside them to bring their ideas to life and ultimately to the lives of readers.”

IVP Honors from The Christianity Today Book Awards

WINNER, BIBLICAL STUDIES

The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Bible Commentary, edited by Esau McCaulley, Janette H. Ok, Osvaldo Padilla, and Amy Peeler, is a first-of-its-kind volume that is both theologically orthodox and multiethnically contextual.

Gregory Lanier, New Testament professor at Reformed Theological Seminary, said, “This book, in which four major scholars pull together contributions from over two dozen authors, marks a major step forward. Not only does it sketch out the rationale for doing biblical exegesis from Black, Native American, Latino, or Asian standpoints. It reveals what the results look like, showcasing how scholars from diverse backgrounds read the same Bible while attending differently to its applications and implications.”

Michael Kibbe, associate professor of Bible at Great Northern University, said, “The editors deserve thanks and congratulations for producing a groundbreaking Bible commentary that amplifies their voices and perspectives. I hope it prompts more of its kind.”

AWARD OF MERIT, POLITICS AND PUBLIC LIFE

In Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor, Caleb E. Campbell introduces the basics of Christian nationalism and explores the reasons so many people are attracted to it. He also addresses a variety of American Christian nationalist talking points and offers questions and responses that humbly subvert these claims and cultivate deeper, heart-level conversations.

“While I am deeply concerned about a sudden uptick in Christian nationalist rhetoric and the harm it does to Christian witness, I’m also sensitive to the ways this threat can be overhyped,” said Rachel Ferguson, director of the Free Enterprise Center at Concordia University Chicago. “Campbell navigates the topic with prudence, not to mention the credibility that comes from his experience as a teenaged white supremacist turned pastor with firsthand knowledge of the pain and dissension extremist politics brought to his church. Disarming Leviathan was personally convicting, as it forced me to acknowledge that flapping my gums against Christian nationalism has far less kingdom impact than actually loving people who have been drawn into its orbit.”

FINALIST, MARRIAGE, FAMILY, AND SINGLENESS

Family Discipleship That Works: Guiding Your Child to Know, Love, and Act Like Jesus by Brian Dembowczyk invites parents into more active family discipleship without judgmentalism but with grace and understanding.

Pastor and author Barnabas Piper said, “In all honesty, as both a father and a pastor, I usually cringe when I see books about family worship (or parenting in general) because of how many of them heap pressure, expectation, and even legalistic standards on parents. In Family Discipleship That Works Brian Dembowczyk does a wonderful job pointing parents to Christ as hope and a means of discipleship. Brian doesn’t shy away from high biblical standards and commands, but neither does he burden parents with them. Rather, he models what he writes about by explaining truth with clarity and grace and dependence on the gospel of grace. This book offers a deep, firm foundation for discipleship as parents, and meaningful, practical steps we can take.”

IVP Honors from The Gospel Coalition 2024 Book Awards 

WINNER, THEOLOGICAL STUDIES

On Classical Trinitarianism: Retrieving the Nicene Doctrine of the Triune God not only addresses the major modern challenges to the classical doctrine of the Trinity but also illustrates why properly articulating this central mystery of the faith is vital for the church’s worship, witness, and discipleship. Motivated by the longstanding need to retrieve the classical doctrine of the Trinity, theologian Matthew Barrett brings together Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox scholars to intervene in the conversation. With over forty contributions, this ecumenical volume resurrects the enduring legacy of Nicene orthodoxy, providing a theological introduction that listens with humility to the Great Tradition.

Michael F. Bird, deputy principal at Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia, said, “One will be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive explanation of trinitarian doctrine than this collection of essays. Matthew Barrett has assembled a prestigious team of scholars to explain what the Trinity is and why it still matters. On Classical Trinitarianism is an outstanding achievement in modern scholarship on the Christian doctrine of God.”

AWARD OF DISTINCTION, HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY

In Ownership: The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery in Edwards, Wesley, and Whitefield, Sean McGever takes three of evangelicalism’s greatest giants—Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and John Wesley—and considers their approaches to slavery, which were (to say the least) complicated. Laying out the dominant attitudes among Christians toward slavery at the time, McGever sets these “men of their times” in their own context, inviting us to learn how these shapers of American evangelicalism contributed to the tragic history of racism in America. He also explores how Christians finally began to recognize that slavery, which they’d excused for most of Christian history, is actually wrong.

Mark Noll, author of America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794–1911, said, “This book is unusually well researched (showing that Wesley, Edwards, and Whitefield actively or passively supported slavery even after Quaker Bible believers had published solid arguments showing the system’s evil). It is patiently argued (bending over backward to explain charitably why these landmark evangelicals acted as they did). It is also painstakingly self-reflective (asking, If we condemn earlier Christians for unthinking support of their society’s evil, what evils might we be supporting unthinkingly today?). The result is unusual clarity about the past and, even more, a compelling imperative for examining our own lives today.”

Life-Changing Mission helps short-term mission teams get the most out of their trip and live on mission once they get back home. 

AVAILABLE JANUARY 20, 2025

Mission trips give participants a unique opportunity to see and experience God differently than they do at home. While most people who take short-term mission trips describe them as life-changing, the truth is that after they return home, not a lot changes in how they live day-to-day, and the memories start to fade. Life-Changing Mission offers ten impactful devotions from Acts for short-term mission teams that will help them prepare spiritually for their trip, stay connected to Jesus while they serve, and continue to expand God’s kingdom when they return home.

The devotions will help readers connect what they are doing each day to God’s big kingdom and see how God is using them, just as he did the early Christians, to bring hope and healing to the world. Each devotion emphasizes the power of God to use weak and needy people to bring the gospel to a broken world.

• Written by men and women who serve as missionaries and edited by Patric Knaak, Deputy Director of Mission at Serge.
• Includes a pre-trip exercise, ten guided devotions, and space for journaling about the unique memories, people, and experiences encountered along the way.
• Three debriefing sections for after the return home give participants an opportunity to process all they saw and learned.
