CAROL STREAM, Ill.—March 2, 2023—Tyndale House Publishers is pleased to announce that Dark Angel, the second installment in the Shepherds series by the bestselling writing team of Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, has been named a finalist for an Audie Award in the faith-based fiction or nonfiction category, by the Audio Publishers Association.

In Dark Angel, former Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson returns to Nashville ready to begin his training with the elite warriors known as the Shepherds. He thinks he knows what to expect when he arrives on the sprawling, state-of-the-art facility but quickly realizes he’ll have to find his place as the rookie leader of a new team. Then he starts having visions of an imminent attack overseas, and Jed and his team are dispatched to neutralize the threat. All the while, Jed hears whispers of another threat that raises fear and anger throughout the Shepherds organization.

Once a military man, Nicholas Woland betrayed the Shepherds and all they stood for when he joined their enemies. After years in prison, Woland is eager to get back in action spreading chaos and death. And he has been freed for a purpose: a sinister plot that will result in hundreds of casualties and incite worldwide religious warfare for years to come.

As Woland and the Shepherds race toward a collision, Jed must rely on his gifts, his training, and his untested team to make critical decisions on a global stage—never realizing that a secret servant of the enemy is growing closer and closer to him.

In response to this significant achievement, Karen Watson, publisher of Tyndale fiction, shared, “We are honored to be recognized for this award and grateful for the fine performance of MacLeod Andrews in the Shepherds trilogy. He brings just the right unsettling vibe to the voice of the villain who opens this thriller. This is a great addition to the robust and popular catalog of fine audio properties from authors Andrews & Wilson.”

According to their website, the Audie Awards is the premier awards program in the United States recognizing distinction in audiobooks and spoken-word entertainment. Publishers and rights holders enter titles in various categories for recognition of achievement. Finalists are selected, and then one winner is awarded in each category. Winners will be announced at the 2023 Audies Gala at Chelsea Piers’ Pier Sixty on March 28, 2023, in New York City.

Bellingham, Wash.—February 20, 2023—Lexham Press mourns the passing of Dr. Michael Heiser on February 20 after a years-long battle with cancer.

Dr. Heiser, an influential scholar and author of the bestselling The Unseen Realm, wrote ten books with Lexham Press, including Angels, Demons, and Supernatural. He also was an academic editor for the Lexham Bible Dictionary, Faithlife Study Bible, and Bible Study Magazine. Much of his work was translated into multiple languages, allowing a global audience to engage with his important scholarship.

“Mike had a unique ability to connect and communicate in such a way that ideas which might have seemed arcane or opaque in someone else’s voice came alive,” said Jesse Myers, president and CEO of Baker Publishing and former publisher of Lexham Press. “He fused legitimate academic prowess with a clarity and relevance that made his message compelling to readers, viewers, and listeners.”

“Mike’s work has contributed to a lot of what we do at Lexham Press,” said Ben Amundgaard, publisher of Lexham Press. “We were always delighted to partner with Mike on a new project. His curiosity and willingness to ask the hard questions has helped him touch the lives of many people across the globe. We will miss him dearly and will keep his family in our prayers.”

Dr. Heiser received an MA in ancient history from the University of Pennsylvania as well as an MA and PhD in Hebrew Bible and Semitic studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His published work extends beyond his titles with Lexham Press, as he wrote extensively for scholarly journals and contributed to works such as IVP’s Dictionary of the Old Testament: Prophets. He also received scholarly awards from the Society of Biblical Literature and his alma maters.

Dr. Heiser taught or contributed to more than thirteen Logos Mobile Education courses, and appeared in several Faithlife Original films. He hosted the Naked Bible Podcast and founded Miqlat, a non-profit biblical teaching ministry. In 2020, Dr. Heiser started the AWKNG School of Theology at Celebration Church, where he served as executive director.

Dr. Heiser is survived by his wife, Drenna, and his children, Amy, Molly, Simcha, and Calvin.

Carol Stream, Ill. (March 3, 2023) — All My Knotted-Up Life, Beth Moore’s captivating memoir, which released on February 21, 2023, from Tyndale Momentum, quickly skyrocketed to bestseller standing. In its release week, the title debuted at #10 on the New York Times Best Sellers Hardcover Nonfiction list and #11 on their Combined Print & E-book Nonfiction list. Additionally, the title ranked #3 on the Publishers Weekly Bestsellers list in the Hardcover Nonfiction category and #4 on Wall Street Journal’s Bestselling Books list for Hardcover Nonfiction.

In her greatly anticipated memoir, Beth Moore, beloved teacher, bestselling author, and founder of Living Proof Ministries, shares her never-before-told story to critical acclaim by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus, and Foreword Reviews alike.

All My Knotted-Up Life is Moore’s reflective, heartbreaking, and humorous memoir, detailing her tumultuous childhood in Arkansas and Texas, experiences that impacted her youth and her call to ministry, her rise as an influential Bible teacher and national ministry leader, her life as a mother and wife, and the upheavals that led to dramatic and unforeseen changes in the life she had come to know.

An incredibly thoughtful, disarmingly funny, and intensely vulnerable glimpse into the life and ministry of a woman familiar to many but known by few, All My Knotted-Up Life is a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival, a poignant reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness, and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people’s full stories . . . we’d all walk around slack-jawed.

Publisher Karen Watson shared, “With a tone similar to Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’, Beth’s wry observations and skill as a storyteller are on full display in this delightful memoir. She writes honestly and lovingly about the people and places and influences that turned a tiny, vulnerable little girl into the powerhouse of influence for the gospel that she has become. Readers will be captivated by the relatable and insightful story of her life.”

Moore reflected, “I saw this life of mine going differently than it has. I saw myself turning out better than I have. I expected to have more riddles solved. More people sorted out. More grays dissolved to black and white. I needed neatness from God. What I got was a tangled-up knot.”

Beth Moore is a New York Times bestselling author and teacher whose conferences take her across the globe. Beth founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of encouraging women to know and love Jesus through the study of Scripture. She has written numerous bestselling books and Bible studies, including So Long, Insecurity; Chasing Vines; Breaking Free; and Now That Faith Has Come, as well as the novel The Undoing of Saint Silvanus.  In addition to her conferences, Beth can be seen teaching Bible studies on Living Proof with Beth Moore on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.  She and her husband of forty-four years live in Houston, Texas. She is a dedicated wife, the mother of two adult daughters, the grandmother of three delightful grandchildren, an active church member, and a dog-lover-to-the-death.

March 2023 | James F. Nyquist, a foundational figure in the development of InterVarsity Press (IVP), passed away on Friday, February 17, 2023. Nyquist served as IVP’s director from 1964 to 1983.

“Jim Nyquist was a skilled manager with an entrepreneurial spirit who guided IVP for twenty years from a shoestring operation to a significant voice in Christian publishing,” said Andy Le Peau, a long-time associate publisher for editorial at IVP, where he worked for over forty years. “He also mentored dozens of other publishers around the world, helping lay the foundation for the robust international Christian book trade we see today in many Majority World countries. But he was so much more. He both dreamed and faced challenges with the same unwavering confidence in the goodness of God. His faith, insight, and good cheer are a legacy that lives on.”

According to Heart. Soul. Mind. Strength: A Narrative History of InterVarsity Press, 1947–2022 written by Le Peau and Linda Doll, IVP grew twenty-one times in sales during Nyquist’s time as the press’s director. He also started the Press-O-Matic in 1966, which was later called the IVP Book Club and continues to be the longest-running book club specifically for Christians. Nyquist is also credited for obtaining rights for Francis Schaeffer’s first two books, The God Who Is There and Escape from Reason. And in 1983 Nyquist appointed Doll as director of IVP. Le Peau and Doll wrote, “The appointment evidenced InterVarsity’s commitment to women as equal partners in the ministry at a time when there were virtually no women executives in Christian publishing.”

Nyquist began his career with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) in 1949, after serving as an InterVarsity chapter leader at the University of Minnesota. The standard staff employment term at the time was three years, but Nyquist refused and insisted on only a one-year commitment—which turned into a lifetime of service with IVCF in a variety of capacities. Doll and Le Peau wrote, “Jim Nyquist, a man committed to prayer and Scripture, was endowed with seemingly boundless optimism about what God was doing and could do. Those who worked with him admired and respected him greatly.”

Rebecca Manley Pippert, author of the IVP landmark title Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World: Evangelism as a Way of Life, said, “I first met Jim when he told me IVP wanted to publish Out of the Saltshaker. I was then twenty-seven years old, and from that point on Jim and his wife, Ruth, became dear friends and beloved mentors and ultimately honorary grandparents to my children. Jim’s tireless contribution to the publishing world—along with his vitality, joy, wisdom, and utter faithfulness to God—had a profound impact on my life and to all who knew him.”

Nyquist served in many capacities for IVCF before taking on his role at InterVarsity Press. He was a regional director beginning in 1950, and camp director at Campus in the Woods north of Toronto (1952–1957) and Bear Trap Ranch just west of Colorado Springs (1958–1967). In 1963 he left his position as director of the Central Region to assist Charles Troutman, general director of IVCF. Nyquist served as director of IVP (along with other assignments) from late 1964 until 1983, when, as a vice president, he supervised both the literature division and all departments in the national office in Madison, other than the field, until his retirement in 1985.

In addition to is work at IVP, Nyquist traveled the world when he took on responsibilities as International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) literature secretary in the mid-1970s, a position he held for more than twenty years. He consulted with the national sister movements of InterVarsity around the world, encouraging and advising them in their publishing efforts in many different countries. Le Peau and Doll wrote, “Nyquist was much beloved, appreciated and respected around the world for his efforts and his cultural sensitivity.”

Cindy Bunch, current IVP vice president, editorial, said, “During my years at IVP I have been privileged to get to know Jim Nyquist as well as his wife, Ruth. Jim continued to be active in the work of IFES for many years past his official retirement and was particularly interested in making sure our books made their way around the world—both in English and in translation. He always asked me how he could pray for my work, and I have taken much encouragement from those prayers.”

Doll and Le Peau wrote that Nyquist was the person who turned IVP from a small literature distribution service to a major evangelical publisher with an impact many times its size. “He placed a premium on finding strong, qualified people and then setting them free to do the work. He also augmented IVP’s fiscal conservatism with a willingness to take calculated risks for the sake of ministry,” they said. “Not all proved to be long-term successes, but that fact created an atmosphere where there was freedom to fail. In addition, many of these initiatives continued to serve InterVarsity and the wider church for decades. Growth for the sake of growth was never his goal. Expanding the reach of Christ’s kingdom was always foremost.”

‘I’m a Christian – Now What?’ from Lexham Press helps new believers make sense of their life with Jesus

Aaron Armstrong Offers Practical, Friendly Advice to Navigate Newfound Faith   

BELLINGHAM, Wash., March 6, 2023 — Speaking to the questions and insecurities many new believers experience, author Aaron Armstrong has released “I’m a Christian – Now What? A Guide to Your New Life With Christ,” from Lexham Press.

Today’s cultural climate, specifically as it relates Christianity, offers a unique opportunity for the Church to disciple new believers.  According to Lifeway Research, American society is rapidly trending post-Christian. In addition, 39% of Christians are not actively engaged in discipleship, which is an essential part of spiritual growth.

Despite the gloom that Christians might feel when confronted with these realities, there is hope. People—especially younger generations—increasingly desire to grow spiritually. “I’m a Christian – Now What?” is the perfect resource to help those new to faith on their journey.

“We have an opportunity to come alongside those who want to understand and to grow, and help them discover what it means to follow Jesus faithfully,” says Armstrong.

After taking the leap of faith, many new believers find themselves stuck in mid-air, unsure how to proceed as a new version of their former self. Using whimsical yet sobering storytelling, Armstrong’s latest book helps them place both feet on the solid ground secured for us in Christ.

“Just as the early years of a child’s development are the most crucial, so too are our early years as Christians,” writes Armstrong. “In a very real way, when you become a Christian, especially when you’re coming to faith as an adult, you’re starting life over from scratch. You’re a grown up in your body, but a child in your faith, which means these early weeks, months and years are critical.”

Writing from the perspective of someone who was there not long ago, Armstrong graciously, yet bluntly, addresses the cultural inconveniences and behavior changes which accompany a decision to live for Jesus. Honest, scriptural and relatable, “I’m a Christian – Now What?” is a must-read for those who’ve discovered their faith and seek to earnestly live by it.

Filled with simple steps to grow in your faith, foundational truths of Christianity and helpful stories from Armstrong’s own conversion, the book addresses natural questions, such as:

• Where am I going and how do I get there?
• What does it mean to be the same person, but not?
• What does this mean for my life, my relationships, my job, my everything?

“I’m a Christian – Now What? A Guide to Your New Life with Christ” from Lexham Press is now available. For more information, visit https://lexhampress.com/product/229471/im-a-christian-now-what-a-guide-to-your-new-life-with-christ.
