New Growth Press announces two new releases to the Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible series

To Release August 18, 2025

Two new releases to the Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible series published in partnership with Serge. Each book in the series examines how the gospel story is revealed throughout both the Old and New Testaments.

Daniel: Standing Firm in Adversity by Paul S. Kim challenges participants to live by faith, even when it causes suffering. Readers will see that Daniel’s bravery in the face of opposition and threats came from his absolute trust in his God, who brought him to Babylon to be a blessing to others.

  • Features ten lessons from the book of Daniel, including leader’s notes.
  • Easy-to-use small group resource includes discussion questions, a short article, and a practical application section that can be used for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings.

Paul S. Kim’s study of Daniel guides Christians in how to live with courage and conviction in a world that is not their home. How do you live as a Christian in a world that doesn’t follow Jesus? The Bible speaks of the Christian life as living in exile. In exile, you feel like you’re not at home, and there’s a sense of pressure to conform to outward pressures. Some people get lost in fear, and others just try to blend in. But the book of Daniel calls us to live out our faith without compromise while still reaching out in love to those around us.  

Lamentations: How God Lifts the Burden of Sin and Sorrow by Jonathan Gibson helps participants learn to lament and hear God’s heart for them. In a busy world where grief is often ignored, this study invites us into the house of mourning and helps us gain a heart of wisdom for when hard times come.

  • Features six lessons from the book of Lamentations, including leader’s notes.
  • Easy-to-use small group resource includes discussion questions, a short article, and a practical application section that can be used for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings.

In his Bible Study of Lamentations, Jonathan Gibson helps participants recover the lost, biblical art of lament and points us to Christ, who bears all our burdens. What do we do when life goes very wrong? The biblical answer is that we start by turning to God and sharing our distress and pain with him. But when was the last time you lamented to God? In our culture, we are averse to engaging with sin and death, suffering and sorrow, so we really don’t understand how to apply the book of Lamentations to our lives. 

About the Authors:

Kim, MDiv, DMin, is the Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in San Diego, a multiethnic and intergenerational church that started as a church plant, merged with another church, and now actively engages in church planting and discipleship movements around the world.
