BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Lifeway, B&H Publishing and Holman Bible Publishers recently announced the CSB “She Reads Truth Bible” achieved a Platinum Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) for selling more than 1 million copies.

Lifeway’s Books and Bibles teams celebrated this significant milestone with Amanda Bible Williams and Raechel Myers, founders of She Reads Truth™.

“We’re so thankful for our partnership with Raechel, Amanda and the whole She Reads Truth™ team,” said Andy McLean, Lifeway’s director of Bibles and Reference. “To be able to lock arms with ministry partners to get Bibles into the hands of a million women is a remarkable thing. We are honored to come alongside the She Reads Truth™ team and steward this Bible.”

Describing the physical beauty of the “She Reads Truth Bible,” McLean said it reflects the beauty found in Scripture. “The Bible has a lot to say about beauty. We have a beautiful message in the gospel. We have a beautiful message in the story of redemption from creation to restoration. As publishers, we should want the medium to reflect the beauty of the message,” McLean said.

“We are so thankful to B&H for the work they’ve done to bring this Bible to the hands of a million women,” said Myers. “We didn’t do this. The surprise is that the Lord was able to use us. He has shown His kindness to us all along the way in the form of people and partners like Lifeway.”

What began with a simple tweet and the #shereadstruth hashtag in 2012 has now grown into a worldwide movement and community of “women in the Word of God every day.”

“She Reads Truth was born out of a desire to make Bible-reading part of our daily lives,” said Williams. “To know that the ‘She Reads Truth Bible’ has served to invite a million women into God’s Word—some of them for the very first time—is just incredible. Thanks be to God.”

Twelve years later, She Reads Truth™ serves a global community of more than a million women, men, and children with daily Bible reading plans and resources, including digital resources like the She Reads Truth™ app, website and podcast and printed resources like the “She Reads Truth Bible,” published in 2017, the CSB “He Reads Truth Bible” and the “She Reads Truth” book.

The “He Reads Truth Bible,” also published by Holman Bibles, recently achieved a Bronze Award from ECPA for selling more than 100,000 copies.

More information about the “She Reads Truth Bible” and “He Reads Truth Bible” can be found at lifeway.com/shereadstruth.

She Reads Truth™ is a worldwide community of women who read God’s Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through daily reading plans, online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributors, and offline resources created at the intersection of beauty, goodness and truth.

Dr. Michael Brown is ‘Turning the Tide’ for a cultural revolution in his latest release

April 29, 2024 by Sheri Toomb

Lake Mary, Fla.— Dr. Michael Brown is taking charge to see revival shift into a cultural revolution in his latest release, Turn the Tide (May 7, 2024, Charisma House, ISBN-13: 978-1-63641-357-0).

Turn the Tide does more than simply beg for God to work a revival in our land. It’s a call to take the revival that He’s already given us so we can transform our society for the better.

“When revival does come, how can we move from outpouring in the church to awakening in society?” Brown writes. “Put another way, how do we move from revival to reformation?”

Brown answers these critical questions for how believers can actively take the experiences they’ve had with the Holy Spirit and use them to revive multiple areas of society.

“My greatest concern is not so much the presence of darkness in America as it is the absence of light,” Brown writes. “This book, then, focuses on the light—meaning on us—helping us realize how we can see genuine, lasting social transformation by implementing the principles laid out for us in Scripture,”

By examining historical accounts of revival and delving in deep into the Word of God, Brown gives readers the practical wisdom needed to engage with society and step out in faith to share the gospel with the world.

“How we respond today will go a long way in determining the future of our nation—our whether our nation even continues to exist as the United States of America.”

Turn The Tide is more than a book; it is a clarion call to action. Dr. Brown’s profound insights and practical guidance are poised to ignite a movement of cultural awakening and societal transformation that will impact generations to come.

“Revival alone will not get the job done. Revival alone will not turn the tide. It must be a revival in the church that leads to a reformation in society, an outpouring that leads to awakening.”

Turn the Tide, published by Charisma House, releases on May 7, 2024, and is available wherever books are sold.

Michael L. Brown, PhD, is the founder and president of AskDrBrown Ministries and the president of FIRE School of Ministry. The author of more than forty books, he is also the host of the nationally syndicated daily talk radio show The Line of Fire, where he serves as your voice for moral sanity and spiritual clarity. His syndicated columns appear on many leading websites, and his scholarly publications range from biblical commentaries to articles in Semitic journals and theological dictionaries. He has served as an adjunct or visiting professor at seven leading seminaries and has debated gay activists, agnostic professors, and Orthodox rabbis on university campuses.

A tribute to longtime Harvest House author Beverly LaHaye

April 29, 2024 by Sheri Toomb

Beverly LaHaye, who entered Christ’s presence on April 14, 2024, lived an extraordinary life of service to our Lord. Both she and her husband of 69 years, Tim, were dearly cherished members of the Harvest House family going all the way back to 1976, shortly after the company was founded. 

For decades, Beverly had a positive and far-reaching impact on our culture as an evangelical Christian advocate for women, the unborn, traditional marriage and family, and the nation of Israel. In 1979, she founded Concerned Women for America, which gave everyday Christian women a much-needed voice in Washington, DC. CWA quickly became one of the largest and most influential women’s organizations in the country.

Behind the scenes, Beverly was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother who poured her heart into all things family. Those who attended Tim’s funeral service in July 2016 were given a moving glimpse of her love and care when she gathered the entire family in front of the church and spoke from her heart about the ways she and Tim had prayed regularly for every one of them. 

Beverly’s spiritual leadership and influence have encouraged and blessed countless lives over the decades, and a significant part of her legacy is the books she wrote. Her first book with Harvest House—The Spirit-Controlled Woman—was published in 1976. 

The book became an instant classic. By 2019, it had sold more than one million copies, earning Beverly the ECPA Platinum Award. In total, Beverly’s Harvest House books have exceeded two million in sales worldwide, which translates to numerous lives touched by her writing ministry. 

Bob Hawkins, president of Harvest House Publishers, notes that “when my father, Bob Hawkins Sr., first contacted Beverly about writing, she felt inadequate to do The Spirit-Controlled Woman. But he persisted, sharing his vision for what was already within Beverely to write. She finally succumbed and was glad she did!  For God used that book in amazing ways to spiritually impact so many growing Christian women during and following the Jesus revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.”  

Beverly humbly and repeatedly gave God full credit for her accomplishments. In the updated edition of The Spirit-Controlled Woman (released in 2005), she wrote, “My testimony is that I have come this far by faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. I still have a long way to go, but God is faithfully working in me to prepare me for that day when I shall meet Him face to face.” 

About Harvest House Publishers: From its beginning in 1974, the company has produced books that impact the hearts of people worldwide. That focus continues with the making of biblically nourishing and innovative products that enrich lives, inspire creativity, and glorify God. With an emphasis on addressing the spiritual and practical needs of men, women, and children, Harvest House seeks to serve God and those who need Him through the books it publishes.

New Growth Press to release “Reaching a Child’s Heart” by Juan & Jeanine Sanchez

April 28, 2024 by Sheri Toomb

Children Don’t Need Perfect Parents—They Need a Perfect Savior

Juan and Jeanine Sanchez offer a guide to parenting with gospel grace and practical application

Raising children can feel overwhelming as you try to navigate the many voices telling you what to do and not to do, but God has already given you everything you need to be faithful parents. In Reaching a Child’s Heart: A Practical Guide to Faithful Parenting (New Growth Press/May 6, 2024), Juan and Jeanine Sanchez encourage parents from their gospel-shaped perspective that children don’t need perfect parents—they need a perfect Savior.

“Parenting is hard. It’s the hardest and most humbling thing I’ve ever done. Quite often I felt like a failure. But my kids didn’t need me to be a perfect dad, and they didn’t need Jeanine to be a perfect mom. They need a perfect Savior, and they have that in Jesus,” Juan writes. “What they needed from us was an example of humility, faithfulness, patience, repentance, and love. They needed us to help them see the impact of the gos­pel in everyday situations. They needed us to be willing to teach them God’s Word and to show them the Father’s love.”

After hearing from parents who are frustrated by their kids’ behavior and exhausted by the world’s wisdom, Juan and Jeanine wanted to sit down with parents and encourage them with God’s plan for raising children. As they share their own journey of parenting five children, the authors highlight the importance of a team-based approach to parenting. They emphasize focusing on children’s hearts, rather than behavior modification, and illustrate how daily faithfulness in the routine cares of life is never a waste of time. The authors start by sharing how a parent’s desire for their children should be the same as God’s: that they would reflect the image and glory of God. A parent’s job is to teach them God’s truths and hold them to God’s standard and when they fail, point them to Jesus, the One who gives a new heart and his empowering Spirit.

“The main point we want to stress is the importance of knowing God’s Word so that you may know God. This is our aim—to know him, that we may become like him. When the truth of God’s Word is in our hearts, we can pass it along to our children. But we must also lead our children by the example of our actions,” Jeanine explains.

Reaching Your Child’s Heart provides a down-to-earth, practical guide for parents that will help them move from survival mode to joyful, Christ-dependent parenting. For every parent who may be exhausted and discouraged, they can take heart from the simple, biblical principles shared in Reaching Your Child’s Heart as the authors:

  • introduce a biblical and theological foundation for the role of parents,
  • expose the dangers of child-centered parenting,
  • offer practical guidance on establishing healthy patterns for children’s security and success,
  • provide practical help for practicing gospel-based discipline,
  • guide parents in navigating the teenage years so that they may be enjoyed,
  • include questions for reflection for individual use or group discussion.

Keri Folmar, author of the Delighting in the Word Bible studies and cohost of the Priscilla Talk podcast writes, “Reaching Your Child’s Heart establishes a firm, biblical foundation for godly parenting and provides a wealth of advice on how to live it out. Not formulaic but eminently practical, this book doesn’t stir up guilt but gives the hope of the gospel. Offering many helpful illustrations, these seasoned parents walk alongside you with good counsel for the various challenges of parenting in the different stages of your children’s lives. Read this book and use the insightful questions to discuss with your spouse and other parents in your church. Whether you’re a new parent or have teenagers, it will equip you to shepherd your children, pointing them to Christ.”
