Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author and lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., returns to Multnomah for a two-book deal.
His first title, Gradually Then Suddenly: Success at the Speed of a Seed, draws from nearly three decades of ministry leadership to reveal the counterintuitive truth that lasting achievement follows a predictable pattern—gradual, faithful persistence followed by moments of dramatic breakthrough. In an age of instant gratification and quick fixes, this timely message offers readers a biblical framework for success by helping them develop the staying power needed to experience God’s breakthrough moments.
The second book is yet to be determined.
The deal includes companion study guides for both titles with publication scheduled to begin in Fall 2025.
World rights were acquired by Drew Dixon, Executive Editor at Multnomah, from Esther Fedorkevich at The Fedd Agency.

Multnomah is an imprint of the PRH Christian Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC.
