Selling more than 24,000 copies in the first week and praised as a “sincere invitation for readers to separate their identity from earthly accomplishments and reinvest it in their faith” (Publishers Weekly), the book solidifies Tebow as a best-selling debut author. The book debuted at No. 6 on USA Today’s Best-selling Booklist (all-genre) and No. 4 on Publishers Weekly’s Hardcover Non-Fiction Best Sellers List.

In sharing her personal struggle with an identity crisis following her Miss Universe reign and overcoming a terrifying carjacking, Tebow sets an illuminating example of finding purpose in the painful situations we go through, while delving deeper into her faith. She encourages the readers, through her own personal experience, to not place their confidence in temporary success or accolades, but in discovering a greater God-given purpose, leaving behind a footprint of significance.

Discover the History of Your Church Family in Gene Edward Veith Jr.’s New Book, Embracing Your Lutheran Identity

Author Gene Edward Veith Jr. uses inspiring stories and characters from church history to reveal what Lutheran identity means today.

Writing not as a scholar, pundit, or apologist but as a teacher, author Gene Edward Veith Jr. guides readers through the Holy Spirit’s work from the early church and into Lutheranism today in his new book, Embracing Your Lutheran Identity. Using engaging accounts, modern parallels, and thought-provoking questions, Veith teaches readers about key people in the history of Lutheranism to show modern Lutherans the reason behind their pillars of faith.

“It is my impression that many Lutherans, including both recent confirmands and lifelong churchgoers, do not know all that much about their church and why it is worth suffering for, dying for, and living for,” writes Veith. “They don’t know their own heritage and why it is so precious. The essence of Lutheranism, of course, is its theology. . . . In this study, we will focus on your Lutheran identity. That is, we will try to help you identify with Christians through the centuries and throughout the world who share your faith and your confession.”

Veith invites readers, individually or as a group, to discover (or rediscover) their heritage from whence they came—persecutions, martyrdoms, villains, battles, heroes, lore, and all. Through each chapter of the Bible study, Veith encourages readers to delve into identity as a part of God’s family and connect with their “family history” as Lutherans.

“Gene Veith has done it again,” says Gregory P. Seltz, executive director of the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty and speaker emeritus of The Lutheran Hour. “He weaves theology, history, and sociology together in the compelling story of being a Lutheran Christian. . . . Don’t just read this book; identify with it, find your place in it, and you will be blessed.”

About the Author
Gene Edward Veith Jr. is a retired English professor and college administrator, most recently at Patrick Henry College and Concordia University Wisconsin. He is the author of twenty-seven books, including Authentic Christianity: How Lutheran Theology Speaks to a Postmodern World; Christianity in an Age of Terrorism, and God at Work. He has a PhD from the University of Kansas and currently lives in St. Louis with his wife, Jackquelyn. He has three grown children and twelve grandchildren.

Praise for Embracing Your Lutheran Identity

If you’ve been looking for an accessible book on the Christian Church down through history, here’s what you’ve been waiting for. Filled with thoughtful questions for reflection and discussion, this book covers everything from apostolic times to our own complex era. In robust col­loquial language, Dr. Veith unravels the complex story of the Lutheran Church—warts and blemishes included. Woven throughout is the faith once delivered to the saints, rooted solidly in God’s enduring Word.
—Harold L. Senkbeil, author of The Care of Souls

What I’ve gathered is that most Christians know things about Christianity but are disconnected from the time line of the faith they’ve inherited, even among our confessional community, causing many to muddy the meaning of what it is to be a believer. This leaves numerous individuals devoid of knowledge and awareness of the care God has generously poured over His church throughout the ages. Gene Veith closes those gaps and fills the mind and heart with the Holy Spirit’s highlight reel. By relaying some of the most special moments of church history, Veith’s words will inspire the reader and ignite an imagination for good works in the world as unto our Lord Jesus Christ—works worth modeling from important times in the past.
—FLAME, GRAMMY^®-nominated and Stellar Award–winning hip hop artist; author of Extra Nos: Discovering Grace outside Myself

Knowing what you would die for reveals what you are living for. Veith builds up our identity in Christ Jesus by exploring the common commu­nity, history, and beliefs of Lutherans. Embracing Your Lutheran Identity will bolster your identity in Jesus, a faith that is worth living for—and even dying for.
—Rev. Dr. A. Trevor Sutton, senior pastor, St. Luke Lutheran Church, Lansing, Michigan; coauthor of Authentic Christianity: How Lutheran Theology Speaks to a Postmodern World

Gene Veith provides a lively overview of the legacy that Lutherans have, starting with the apostles and culminating in contemporary confessors. Veith reminds us that the Lutheran Church did not start with Martin Luther in the sixteenth century but embraces a heritage going back to the first century. Veith demonstrates how Luther and his coworkers were born into a church deformed by false teachings that deflected attention from Christ alone, directing sinners to their own works and piety. Luther sought to reform that which had become deformed. The result was a lively confession of the Gospel that would ring out around the globe and is still going on today. Whether through individual reading or group study, Lutherans will be enlightened regarding their heritage, and non-Lutherans will find this book is an accessible introduction to this church.
—John T. Pless, assistant professor of pastoral ministry and mission, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne

As Dr. Veith’s readers have come to expect, this book is both understandable and substantive. With clarity and context, the text leads the reader on a broad, historic journey to strengthen a highly personal appreciation of the Christian faith. Topical sections, questions to ponder, and recommendations for further reading make this book perfectly suited for both group discussions and individual study.
—Cheryl Swope, MEd; author of Simply Classical: A Beautiful Education for Any Child; coauthor of Eternal Treasures: Teaching Your Child at Home; creator of the Simply Classical Curriculum for Special Needs

Gene Veith has done it again. He weaves theology, history, and sociology together in the compelling story of being a Lutheran Christian. By showing the roots of our identity and the history of where we have been, Veith prepares the modern Lutheran believer to face the challenges of the world of today. For those who know the power of Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, be blessed with how it has sustained a particular people for particular times all around the globe. Don’t just read this book; identify with it, find your place in it, and you will be blessed.
—Rev. Dr. Gregory P. Seltz, executive director, Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty; speaker emeritus of The Lutheran Hour

The Man on the Middle Cross to Release Fall, 2025

Leyland, UK – July 09 2024. 10Publishing is pleased to announce that Pastor and Bible teacher at Truth for Life, Alistair Begg, will publish the mass market title The Man on the Middle Cross, releasing Fall 2025.

Inspired by the viral video clip, from a sermon preached in 2019, the book will explore three people who encountered Jesus, culminating with the story of the dying thief on the cross.

The book will be a powerful work that will be designed specifically for the wide distribution to those with and without faith in Jesus.

“From the time I first heard Alistair’s powerful message in 2019, we were keen to explore how we might be able to share it with a wider audience” says 10ofThose CEO, Jonathan Carswell. “Alistair has been used by God for many years, teaching and preaching the gospel message clearly, faithfully and persuasively. We pray this book will be read by a huge audience, and hear that Jesus invites them to ‘Come’, just like he did with the dying thief.”

Along with major retail outlets, the book will be sold at 10ofthose.com, who provide the bookstore for The Gospel Coalition, Radical, and Getty Music among others.

The Man on the Middle Cross was acquired by Jonathan Pountney, of 10Publishing, the Publishing imprint of 10ofThose.com, with literary agency Wolgemuth & Wilson representing the author.

Advance review copies of the book and media interviews are available upon request; please contact Product Marketer, Siwan Davies (siwan.davies@10ofthose.com).

Alistair Begg is Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Bible teacher at Truth For Life, which is heard on the radio and online around the world. He graduated from theological college in London and served two churches in Scotland before moving to Ohio. He is married to Susan, and they have three grown children.

August 2024 | LISLE, IL—IVP Academic is thrilled to announce that The Meaning of Singleness by Danielle Treweek has been named the 2024 Australian Christian Book of the Year.

The judges for the award commented: “Taken seriously, this book will change the way churches operate, preachers preach, Christian organizations act, friends befriend, and crucially, how we love and are loved.”

The Meaning of Singleness: Retrieving an Eschatological Vision for the Contemporary Church offers biblical, historical, cultural, and theological reflections to retrieve a theology of singleness for the church today. Drawing upon both ancient and contemporary theologians, including Augustine, Ælfric of Eynsham, John Paul II, and Stanley Hauerwas, Treweek contends not only that singleness has served an important role throughout the church’s history, but that single Christians present the church with a foretaste of the eschatological reality that awaits all of God’s people.

Treweek said, “One of my hopes is that those who read The Meaning of Singleness might be better equipped to love, respect, and value the single members of their church communities. And, of course, I hope it will encourage unmarried Christians (whether they be never-married, divorced, or widowed) to delight more and more in the intrinsic goodness of their singleness. But I also pray that those who read this book might better understand the vitally important and God-glorifying role singles have to play in the church’s understanding of her own unique identity. I hope my book might help us all to better realize it’s not simply that single Christians need the church, but the church who really and truly needs single Christians.”

The judges added: “This is a work of tremendous scholarship and intellectual acuity. By adopting the perspective of our destiny rather than origin, Treweek demonstrates that in church history, biblical exegesis and Christian theology, singleness has the same eternal significance as marriage. She takes on sacred cows and names Christian leaders who have veered away from the Bible to privilege marriage and devalue singleness. Treweek presents us with a vision of the church that is far more inclusive and faithful to Scripture.”

Danielle Treweek (PhD, St Mark’s National Theological Centre and Charles Sturt University) is the founding director of the Single Minded Ministry and an adjunct teacher at Moore Theological College, Sydney. She also serves as both the Diocesan Research Officer and a member of the Archbishop’s Doctrine Commission within the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Australia.

The Australian Christian Book of the Year Award has been around since 1981 and is given annually to an original book written by an Australian citizen. The award recognizes and encourages excellence in Australian Christian writing. Entries are judged with an eye to the original nature of the work; literary style, including suitability for the target audience; design, layout, cover, text, and illustrations; and contribution that the book makes in meeting a need for Christian writing in the Australian situation and in the Australian market.

Babbie Mason’s Each One Reach One: Everyday Ways You Can Shine God’s Light Becomes National Bestseller

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug. 21, 2024—Christian publisher and music company David C Cook is pleased to announce that Each One Reach One: Everyday Ways You Can Shine God’s Light by Grammy-nominated recording artist Babbie Mason has been named a national bestseller by USA TODAY.

Following the week of its Aug. 6, 2024, debut through Esther Press (David C Cook’s women’s imprint), the book earned a spot on USA TODAY’s Best-selling Booklist, which is generated by sales data on titles across multiple genres from a variety of outlets nationwide, including bookstore chains, independent bookstores, mass merchandisers, and online retailers.

Each One Reach One was inspired by Mason’s hit song in the 1990s of the same name and dives into the message of Matthew 5:16, equipping readers with tangible ways to share the gospel with others and evangelizing with enthusiasm rather than obligation. She emphasizes the importance of personalizing your story and listening well, as well as anticipating opportunities to share our faith to inspire those closest to us.

“I feel incredibly blessed and honored to have the opportunity to share the message of Matthew 5:16 with so many readers,” said Mason. “Evangelizing and spreading the hope and good news of God can feel intimidating and even hard at times, but if we approach it with thoughtfulness and joy, we’re sure to make an impact in the lives of people around us.” 

Mason is a two-time Dove Award-winner, singer, songwriter and author and has penned eight total books, including devotionals for young women. A well-known Gospel artist, her music can be heard regularly at Sunday church services across the nation.

“Babbie uses her personal experience to inspire others to share the good news of Christ with their acquaintances,” said Chadd MIller, divisional president of David C Cook’s publishing arm. “We’re excited that this message is resonating with so many believers, particularly those who may want to share their own testimonies, but aren’t sure where or how to start.”

NASHVILLE, TENN. (AUGUST 12, 2024) B&H Publishing announces the release of songwriter and storyteller Caroline Cobb’s first book, Advent for Exiles, releasing September 24th. This special advent devotional will feature 25 devotions to awaken Christmas hope in a longing heart. Preorder this Scripture-rich companion for the Advent season now.

In 2020, Cobb released A Seed, A Sunrise, an album that explored the ache of Advent, the joy of Christmas, and the expectant yearning for Christ’s return. That album inspires this Advent devotional as she dives deeper into the poetic imagery of Isaiah and the biblical theme of exile.

“After releasing my Christmas album, I began work on this ’side project,'” shares Caroline Cobb. “But in the writing, I discovered the album had barely scratched the surface for me. I wanted to dive deeper into the poetic imagery of Isaiah, draw more connections between our current experience and the biblical theme of exile, and help readers imaginatively engage in the ache of Advent as a way of expanding their joy at Christ’s coming. Advent for Exiles is the fruit of more than two years of writing and wrestling this deep dive into words.”

Throughout the 25-day devotional, Cobb weaves Scripture readings, song lyrics, poetic prose, biblical imagery, and responsive exercises to help readers joyfully celebrate Christ’s first arrival while deeply longing for His second.

She adds, “This devotional is written for those who have felt—or at least feel ready to acknowledge—the long groan of exile. We need Advent companions willing to recognize the darkness around and within. Only then will we be able to fully rejoice in the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the world. I pray Advent for Exiles will do just that.”

Book Details:
Title: Advent for Exiles
ISBN: 9781430095842
Page Count: 240
Release Date: Sept. 24, 2024
Suggested Price: $19.99
B&H Publishing – Hardcover

ABOUT CAROLINE COBB:  Before her thirtieth birthday, Caroline Cobb set a goal to write a song for every book of the Bible in one year. That year set a new calling into motion: to tell God’s Story through music and other creative work, helping you rehearse it and respond to it as you go about your everyday life. Her most recent album, Psalms: The Poetry of Prayer (May 2023) gives voice to a rich range of prayers from the Psalms and builds on Caroline’s previous storytelling projects A King & His Kindness (2021), A Seed, A Sunrise (2020), a Home & a Hunger (2017), and the Blood + the Breath (2013). Caroline has been featured by Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, The Rabbit Room, Risen Motherhood, and many more, with a Home & a Hunger named among “The Best Albums of the Decade (2010’s)” by The Gospel Coalition. She and her husband Nick live in Dallas, Texas, with their three children Ellie, Harrison, and Libby.

Key features of the Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids Family Advent Devotional include:

• Five short devotionals for each week, providing insights into key moments of the Christmas story.
• Talk, Say, Pray, Remember, and Play prompts to encourage interactive engagement and reflection.
• Can be used in conjunction with the Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids Bible and animated series, enhancing the learning journey.
• Devotions that require just 5-15 minutes, making it convenient for families to incorporate into their daily routines at breakfast, dinnertime, or bedtime throughout the bustling Christmas season.

More than just children’s Bible stories, the Minno Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids is the most comprehensive, age-appropriate and engaging presentation of the Good News of Jesus’ love available. Through the books, animated series, specials, devotionals, and downloadable resources, families can experience God’s Word in multiple ways–reading a story in the print edition, then watching a fully-animated version of the story in the series and specials, and continuing the experience through off-screen fun and learning. Filled with beloved Bible moments, curious questions, support for sticky subjects and tricky topics, there is no better way for families to grow in the truth of God’s Word together!
