Releases

Congratulations to Craig Evans with Ginny Evans and Dayspring for the October 21, 2025 release of Wow! I Didn’t Know!: Things You Never Knew About the Stories of Jesus.

When you think of popular Bible stories, like the Christmas story, you might imagine particular things — that Mary and Joseph were poor, that they traveled through the desert to get to Bethlehem, or even that Jesus was born in a dirty barn. But are those things really true? Sometimes we approach Scripture with Western eyes and English translations that don’t give us a complete picture of the historical and cultural reality of these stories. Wow! I Didn’t Know! dives deeper into the Scripture to shine a light on common misconceptions and reveal the more likely facts that can not only deepen our understanding, but change the way we view the stories that many of us know by heart.

Congratulations to Chuck Blakeman and Entrepreneur Press for the March 2025 release of Sell Less, Earn More: Double Your Income in 90 Days with People You Already Know.

Congratulations to Natalie Runion and David C Cook for the January 6, 2026 release of Raised to Stay Devotional: A 40-Day Journey from Hurt to Holy.

This full-color devotional based on the USA Today bestselling book takes us on a journey through the hurt, the hard, the hope, and the holy of following Jesus and loving his people.

Natalie Runion’s first book, Raised to Stay, brought challenging but healing conversations to churches around the world. Now in this inspiring devotional, Natalie draws from forty of the social media messages that have most deeply resonated with her Raised to Stay community of 200,000 followers. Highly relevant for our times, the Raised to Stay Devotional shows us the way back into spiritual and community life, offering:

  • Biblical hope for anyone who wants to follow God but is weary of his people
  • Acknowledgment of disappointment and encouragement to forgive 
  • Exquisite photography and a contemplative design
  • Powerful takeaway statements for moving forward in specific areas of pain
  • Thoughtful prompts to invite engagement and further healing 

A gentle but motivating companion, Natalie guides us toward a Jesus who welcomes our wrestling as we discover that what looks like a crucifixion might just be the start of a resurrection. Because when your soul aches and your faith falters … there is still a way home.
