EUGENE, Ore., September 11, 2024—Harvest House Publishers is pleased to announce that The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible has amassed more than 1,000,000 copies sold in barely over a decade. First introduced to the marketplace in July 2014, this classic storybook Bible for children, ages 5 to 8, helps kids learn about the important people, places, and themes of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, each enriching tale features vibrant visual depictions of popular and lesser-known Bible stories, ultimately pointing children to Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

This project came to life through vision and trust and has been the catalyst of a highly successful, strategic, and long-term partnership between Harvest House Publishers and International Publishing Services (IPS), an Australia-based company specializing in creating and developing high-quality children’s books, reference titles, and seasonal gifting items for the global market. Over the last 10 years, IPS and Harvest House have collaborated on several outstanding children’s books and other products with care and attention to detail—values that both companies share.

“We had what we thought was something really special, allowing us to go out and develop the most wonderful, personal partnership with Bob Hawkins and Harvest House Publishers that any company could ever have hoped for. The impact of creating The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible cannot be understated. Knowing just how this Bible has shaped the minds of young Christians in North America and around the world has been a humbling yet gratifying experience,” said Wayne McKay, managing director of IPS.

With nearly 300 beautiful two-page illustrations to capture even the youngest child’s heart and imagination, this vast collection of the Bible’s most-loved stories has become one of Harvest House’s most successful releases. It is poised to remain an evergreen bestseller for decades to come, well into the company’s next 50 years.

“The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible has captivated children and families like no other product we have ever published,” said Hawkins, president of Harvest House. “It has consistently increased in sales year after year since it was first released, now grounding annually well over 150,000 young hearts deep into God’s rich Word. This growing demand clearly highlights the Bible’s high quality, skillfully written content, and stunning illustrations. We at Harvest House are incredibly grateful to Wayne McKay and IPS for entrusting us with this amazing life-building resource.”

Honoring Moody Bible Institute’s sixth president

(Chicago, Ill.—Sept. 11, 2024) Moody Bible Institute announced today that Dr. George Sweeting died on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 99 years old. He served as president from 1971 to 1987, and then as Chancellor until the last day of the 20th century.

Dr. Sweeting received a diploma from Moody Bible Institute, his B.A. from Gordon College, and his Doctor of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Sweeting served as a pastor in several churches and also spent nine years traveling the world as an evangelist. He wrote numerous books, including The Joys of Successful Aging, Too Soon to Quit, Lessons from the Life of Moody, Don’t Doubt in the Dark, and most recently Full Circle: A Pictorial Autobiography of George & Hilda Sweeting (February 2022, Moody Publishers).

“George Sweeting was a man who followed after God with his whole heart, his whole mind, and all his strength. A pastor, evangelist, author, and former president of Moody Bible Institute, George ran his race well,” said Randall Payleitner, vice president and publisher of Moody Publishers. “I saw how deeply he loved and cared for his wife and family, too. Living to almost 100 years old, George is now in glory with his Savior, Jesus Christ. We miss him already, but we’ll see him again someday soon!”

“An indelible mark has been placed on this world as well as on Moody through the incredible life and ministry of George Sweeting,” said Dr. Mark Jobe, 10th president of Moody Bible Institute. “His legacy is marked by a deep love for his family, the Church, and the transformative power of the Gospel. While we mourn with his family and those whose lives were touched by him, we echo the Apostle Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 4 that we do so with hope, knowing he is in the presence of the Lord and we will be reunited with him one day.”

Moody Radio will air a 1-hour special, Dr. George Sweeting: A Tribute, on Saturday, September 14, at 3 pm CT across its network of stations and select affiliates. More information, including a 5-minute audio feature and sermon clips of Dr. Sweeting, can be found at www.moodyradio.org/sweeting.

September 2024 | LISLE, IL—InterVarsity Press (IVP) has announced that its first Just Show Up Book Club (JSU) will kick off on October 29, 2024. In recognition of Native American Heritage Month in November, the first IVP Just Show Up book will be the First Nations Version: An Indigenous Bible Translation of the New Testament (FNV) by Terry M. Wildman. The FNV recounts the Creator’s Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers’ oral cultures.

The IVP JSU Book Club is made possible through a grant from the Grace and Mercy Foundation, an organization that partners with nonprofit organizations to promoting lifelong learning through JSU Book Clubs and the Public Reading of Scripture (PRS). The JSU Book Club is a book club without homework where people gather to read, listen, and discuss great books together.

“The mission of Grace and Mercy and the Just Show Up Book Club is also the mission of IVP. We both strive to get life-changing books into the hands of readers so they can read, discuss, and grow in their understanding of faith and the world around them,” said Terumi Echols, President and Publisher at IVP. “We are so grateful for their support in offering a format like the IVP Just Show Up Book Club that will bring people together to read and discuss transformative resources like the First Nations Version.”

The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation of the New Testament that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the Bible. The culmination of a rigorous five-year translation process, this new Bible translation is a collaboration between organizations like OneBook and Wycliffe Associates, Indigenous North Americans from over twenty-five different tribes, and a translation council that consisted of twelve Native North American elders, pastors, young adults, and men and women from different tribes and diverse geographic locations.

On September 3 the FNV also added a resource for children with Birth of the Chosen One: A First Nations Retelling of the Christmas Story. Featuring stunning Native American art, Birth of the Chosen One is a powerful picture book from IVP Kids that illuminates the Christmas story in a fresh and new way.

And in August 2025 IVP will release the Psalms-Proverbs edition of the FNV.

“The First Nations Version is a groundbreaking, fresh translation of the New Testament filled with vivid, evocative language and imagery,” said Al Hsu, IVP’s Associate Editorial Director, Trade. “We’re thrilled with how the FNV New Testament has been received and are excited to be developing the FNV Psalms and Proverbs as the sacred songs and words of the wisdomkeepers.”

Starting on October 29, the IVP JSU Book Club will focus its first seven-week reading plan on the FNV Gospel of Mark. The book club will meet online on Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. Central time.

IVP will also host book clubs in January and February that feature On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living by Alan Noble (January) and Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope by Esau McCaulley (February).

“We are excited to welcome people into the IVP JSU Book Club and into just a few of the impactful resources that make up the IVP library,” said Lori Neff, IVP Associate Director of Marketing and the host for the first IVP JSU Book Club. “We look forward to sharing together in both rich readings from the FNV and in rich discussion around this beautiful First Nations translation.”

Wheaton, IL September 9, 2024 – Christianity Today announces the public phase of the first comprehensive campaign in its 68-year history. Named The One Kingdom Campaign, this bold and hopeful vision seeks to raise $28 million through 2026, its 70^th anniversary, and will guide the next season of kingdom-focused ministry.

Through elevating the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God in various media, formats, and innovative programs, CT’s One Kingdom Campaign endeavors to reenchant the Church with Christ and his kingdom, recast a captivating vision of what it means to follow Jesus in our time, and regather a community around that vision.

President and CEO Timothy Dalrymple shares, “Christianity Today exists to help all people love Christ and his kingdom. These are challenging times for the Church. It can be hard to find our way. Our hope and prayer is that The One Kingdom Campaign helps believers unite across continents, across generations, and across the dividing lines of our culture. We want to help the Church remember its first love and cast once again a compelling and capacious vision of what it looks like to follow Christ wholeheartedly and sacrificially.”

The campaign funds three strategic initiatives. The Global Initiative dramatically expands CT’s footprint to lift up the stories and ideas of believers around the world. The Next Gen Initiative supports the ministry’s growth in new media to show younger generations how beautiful it can be to follow Jesus. And the Big Tent Initiative seeks to better represent the diversity of the North American church and model charitable conversation across our differences.

Cory Whitehead, Vice President of Mission Advancement, says, “The campaign commenced a quiet phase of private conversations in 2023. Through the generosity of God and close partners to the ministry, we are deeply humbled that The One Kingdom Campaign already has commitments of over $18.6 million—67 percent of the campaign goal. We have seen full support from the Board of Trustees, new partners who are passionate about the bold vision and direction, and forward-thinking institutional foundations that see the important and enduring voice of CT.”

With the early commitments, many components of The One Kingdom Campaign have already been set into motion. For example, through the Campaign, CT has already:

• Planted numerous new global editors, native or fluent in the relevant languages and cultures, to elevate the stories of the global Church.
• Evolved CT’s brand and technology to reach new audiences and generations more effectively, with the recent print magazine and website redesigns.
• Launched the Next Gen Accelerator, a Fellowship for ages 18-26 that equips the next generation of Christian leaders, storytellers, and artists.
• Expanded the Public Theology Project, platforming voices that model a healthy Christian engagement with the culture.

Lauren Green McAfee and Bob Doll, Christianity Today Trustees and Campaign Co-Chairs, added, “We see God shaping exciting conversations, important partnerships, and growing audiences through The One Kingdom Campaign and its three initiatives. We see progress already, and we want to nurture and support what God is already doing so this campaign might advance the kingdom of God.”

More information about The One Kingdom vision—what it includes and how to partner—is available at OneKingdom.ChristianityToday.com.

About Christianity Today
Reaching 40 million people across the world through a variety of acclaimed and award-winning digital and print media, Christianity Today elevates the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God with a vision of a Church more faithful to Christ and the world more drawn to him.
