Nashville, TN (November 27, 2017)—HarperCollins Christian Publishing celebrates the excellent sales and promotion for “America’s Pastor” Max Lucado’s latest release Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World (September 2017, Nelson). Anxious for Nothing achieved remarkable success, including:
- Multiple appearances on national bestseller lists including Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Publishers Weekly and Walmart.
- Proverbs 31 Online Bible Study launched November 6th
- Anxious for Nothing webinar will launch in January 2018.
In Anxious for Nothing, Lucado invites readers to discover a life characterized by peace and calm. Based on the encouragement in the Bible to “not be anxious about anything,” Lucado’s message has been incredibly timely and applicable within breaking news cycles during the fall of 2018.
Immediately after the Las Vegas shooting, Lucado wrote two original op-eds on anxiety—one appeared at USAToday.com and the other at FoxNews.com, both were picked up by a wide variety of media outlets in the days following. When the Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooting happened near Lucado’s own base of San Antonio, he wrote a third original op-ed that appeared on FoxNews.com, Christian Post, CBN and other online outlets.
Earlier in the fall, Lucado and Anxious for Nothing were featured in a wide variety of national media including an interview on Fox and Friends, a drop by with Kathie Lee and Hoda for the 4th hour of The TODAY Show, KLOVE Radio, Kilmeade & Friends Radio, Rick & Bubba Radio, SIMPLE Grace Magazine, The 700 Club and many more.
“Max has based his teaching and writing ministry on his unwavering belief that God is both good and sovereign,” says Senior Vice President and Group Publisher David Moberg. “Anxious for Nothing could not have come at a more opportune time.”
“Is God sovereign over your circumstances?” Lucado asks. “Is he mightier than your problem? Does he have answers to your questions? According to the Bible, the answer is yes, yes, and yes! If he sustains all and controls all, do you think he has authority over this situation you face? What about his mercy? Is God’s grace great enough to cover your sin? Again, yes!”
Anxious for Nothing was simultaneously released in a jacketed hardcover, a Spanish edition, an audiobook, and as a DVD curriculum with participant’s guide. Companion products from Thomas Nelson included a $2.99 booklet entitled Less Fret, More Faith, a full-color children’s book entitled I’m Not a Scaredy Cat: A Prayer for When You Wish You Were Brave (October 2017) and gift book entitled Trade Your Cares for Calm (January 2018).
