When we pray our way through the day, the Spirit comforts and helps us, and we are able to encourage others and face our days with new strength.

“A Preacher’s Companion”

Langham Publishing is delighted to announce the launch of The Branch Exposition of the Bible: A Preacher’s Commentary of the Old Testament, an outstanding commentary on the entire Old Testament written by Michael A. Eaton — a distinguished preacher, scholar and pastor. 

Together with the previously published New Testament volume, this exposition meets the needs of preachers, scholars, and ordinary Christians alike, helping open God’s word and shed its light on life, ministry, and teaching. “Profound without being heavy”, it makes biblical scholarship accessible to all so they can mature in faith and righteousness. 

With experience in ministering across Africa, India and the West, Michael A. Eaton helps us understand the meaning of the Bible and taste its fruit. This commentary on the Old and New Testament accessibly engages with the biblical languages, gives application for our lives and leads us through each book of the Bible so that we can meet the resurrected Jesus Christ in the pages of Scripture.

Rev. R. T. Kendall (PhD), Kendall Ministries, says about The Branch Exposition of the Bible:  The most valuable commentary on the Bible to come along in a century.

Marcus Herbert, Pastor, Cornerstone Church, Johannesburg (South Africa), writes:  In producing “The Branch Exposition of the Bible,” Michael Eaton has written one of the most helpful tools any preacher or scholar of Scripture could hope for. It is refreshing to have a scholar of Michael’s ability use all that learning, wisdom and insight to open the Scriptures to us, revealing Christ and His Kingdom.

Christopher J. H. Wright (PhD), Global Ambassador, Langham Partnership, commends:  Michael Eaton was one of those rare biblical scholars whose years of pastoral and preaching experience enabled him to write expositions of the biblical text that are profoundly simple without being simplistic and shallow.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Michael A. Eaton pastored pioneering, multi-ethnic churches in some of Africa’s biggest and most influential cities, including Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Lusaka, for 40 years. As a young man he sat under the teaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel, a church he maintained a long-standing relationship with throughout his life. Michael’s doctorate was on the Christian and the Mosaic law. He lectured in theological institutions and had a vibrant preaching ministry in India, the UK, the United States and across Africa. Michael went to be with the Lord in 2017, before The Branch Exposition of the Bible reached publication.

CHICAGO – Independent Publishers Group (IPG), and its book manufacturing unit, IPG Ink, are pleased to announce the production of its five millionth book, as well as the installation of a new HP digital printing press.

On September 30, 2024, IPG Ink, which printed its first book in June 2018, processed the order that included the five millionth unit: a title from Running Wild Press, Going to Maine: All the Ways to Fall on the Appalachian Trail. Clark Matthews, VP and General Manager of IPG Ink, said, “Our five millionth book just six years after our founding is a testament to our superbly successful printing program, with all-new machines for 2024 and volumes that are quadruple their starting point in 2018.”

In response to the recent increase in demand, IPG has invested in a new, state-of-the-art digital printer from HP. The HP PageWide A2200 currently being installed will further improve production times while maintaining the excellent quality of paperback books printed at IPG Ink. This ground-breaking HP press is capable of printing 800 linear feet of content per minute, enough volume to produce 10,000 200-page novels in a single day. It does so using half the space and at twice the image quality of IPG’s next-fastest press.

This new machine has specifically been chosen to address the evolving needs of IPG’s client publishers. A growing number of publishing houses need a solution that bridges the gap between the worlds of digital printing and offset printing. This new solution allows publishers to print almost anything on a 5-7 day turn time, whether it’s just a single copy for a direct-to-consumer order or a last-minute, 5,000 unit run for a frontlist title that has found unexpected success in the marketplace. IPG hopes to offer a more flexible and scalable supply chain to address the unpredictability of modern publishing.

The new HP press will be fully operational on November 1. This upgrade is another piece to round out the digital printing services IPG provides to its publishers. Earlier this year, IPG announced its partnership with Books International on a program for hardcover short run digital printing at a price feasible for publishers.

About Independent Publishers Group:
Founded in 1971, IPG was the first organization specifically created for the purpose of marketing titles from independent presses to the book trade. Today, IPG’s wide reach into the book market includes distribution of both print and e-books from a wide array of publishers, digital printing, and traditional publishing. With consistent growth year over year, IPG’s success has come from supporting and encouraging the growth of its publishing partners in the United States and worldwide. IPG was acquired by Chicago Review Press in 1987, and this acquisition formed the parent company Chicago Review Press, Inc., which now owns Chicago-based indie publishers Chicago Review Press and Triumph Books.

The pastor and founder of Zoe Church reveals the Church’s role in the rising levels of narcissism today and the Bible’s countercultural call to humility.

Popular author, speaker, and pastor of Zoe Church in Los Angeles, Chad Veach tackles one of the Christian’s greatest foes: an obsession with self. Ego often sneaks up on us in varying forms of narcissism, subtly turning so much of our attention to our needs and desires that we fail to recognize other people’s.

A self-proclaimed recovering narcissist, Veach has learned the power of humility. He wants to destigmatize the humility journey by normalizing the need for regular ego checks. A quick reset in attitude in any situation will create a delicate balance between self-denial and self-absorption.

Amongst the alarming and increasing levels of narcissism in society and the Christian church today, Veach delivers a passionate call for making a simple but fundamental shift in perspective that cultivates humility

Chad Veach is the founder and lead pastor of Zoe Church, a dynamic community in the heart of Los Angeles, California. An international speaker and preacher, he has dedicated his life to the ministry of the Gospel. He is the author of Help! I Work With People,Faith Forward Future, Worried About Everything Because I Pray About Nothing, Unreasonable Hope, and I Bet You Think This Book Is About You, and is the host of Leadership Lean In, a top-charting leadership podcast. Chad and his wife, Julia, reside in Los Angeles with their four children, Georgia, Winston, Maverick, and Clive.

October 2024 | LISLE, IL—IVP Kids is pleased to announce that Birth of the Chosen One and Zion Learns to See are 2024 Moonbeam Award medalists. Winners were announced in over forty categories for titles published from 2022 to 2024.

Birth of the Chosen One: A First Nations Retelling of the Christmas Story, written by Terry M. Wildman, received second place in the holiday category. This children’s picture book narrates the birth of Jesus in the tradition of Native oral storytellers and features Native American art by sisters Hannah and Holly Buchanan.

“This artful retelling captures the wonder of the birth that changed human history. We commonly read the nativity story with mental pictures shaped by Western culture and traditions. What a joy, then, to read the story afresh through First Nations eyes!” said L. Daniel Hawk, professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Ashland Theological Seminary.

Birth of the Chosen One features text from the bestselling First Nations Version, a New Testament in English by Native North Americans. 

Zion Learns to See: Opening Our Eyes to Homelessness received first place in the social activism category. Coauthored by Terence and Zion Lester and illustrated by Subi Bosa, Zion Learns to See is inspired by real-life events. Zion joins her dad at his work at the community center one day and learns about people experiencing homelessness. Her new understanding fuels her to action and she initiates a campaign with her classmates.

“My parents have always taught me that we love our neighbors as ourselves and we put God first,” said Zion Lester. “In my view, loving others is an act of service, and serving is crucial because it extends God’s love to others and treats people with dignity, affirming their worth regardless of their circumstances.”

“The core message of our book,” said Terence Lester, “is that age is no barrier to service.”

The Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators. Moonbeam Award winners will be honored at an award ceremony held on November 9, in conjunction with the annual Traverse City Children’s Book Festival.
