“Devoted to Jesus,” Alex & Stephen Kendrick
In conjunction with their K-LOVE Fan Award nominated film, “The Forge,” brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick released “Devoted to Jesus,” a 52-chapter book that teaches readers how to be discipled and how to make disciples. In keeping with the movie’s overarching themes and the teachings of Jesus, the title encourages both new and mature believers to deepen their relationship with God and His Word through intentional mentorship, study, prayer and biblical community.
“Feasting on God’s Word,” Kristi McLelland
Bible teacher and Holy Land expert Kristi McLelland inspires readers with her genuine love for Scripture in “Feasting on God’s Word.” Written in her signature conversational tone, McLelland’s latest book blends personal stories, a deep understanding of the Bible and her firsthand experiences in Israel to offer a unique perspective on the significance of meditating on God’s Word and how we can best apply it to our everyday lives.
“God Never Gives Up On You,” Max Lucado
Seasoned pastor and author Max Lucado has good news for the sinner: No mistake ever disqualifies you from God’s good plans for your life. In “God Never Gives Up On You” the previous K-LOVE Fan Award winner uses the biblical story of Jacob to teach us about God’s unending grace, mercy and love. Despite Jacob’s deep flaws, poor choices and dysfunctional family history, God used him to accomplish His purposes time and time again; and Lucado contends He’ll do the same with our lives if we let Him.
“How Great Is Our God,” Chris Tomlin
Four-time K-LOVE Fan Award winner Chris Tomlin magnifies the extraordinary power and love of our Creator in “How Great Is Our God.” The esteemed songwriter teaches readers how to live a worship-driven life in a me-centered world across the quick read. Providing examples from his own experiences, as well as glimpses into the stories behind some of his biggest hits, the chart-topping artist helps fans walk out a life in line with the teachings of Jesus as he examines what it means to live a life of total surrender.
“I Surrender All,” Priscilla Shirer
Inspired by the themes explored in K-LOVE Fan Award nominated film “The Forge,” Priscilla Shirer’s “I Surrender All” contends that the Christian life isn’t simply a one-time “yes” to Jesus. Instead, it’s a daily, costly act of intentional obedience. Across its pages, the well-known Bible teacher guides readers beyond salvation as they grow in their relationship with Christ. For those who desire a deeper understanding of what it looks like to be a true disciple of Jesus, “I Surrender All” is a call to lay down our very lives for eternal purposes.
“I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t,” Lysa TerKeurst
After enduring betrayal in her marriage and finding love again, “New York Times” bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst examines what it looks like to navigate trust issues. Writing from personal experience, TerKeurst offers practical tools for discernment as readers seek to build healthier relationships and accrue better judgement when it comes to establishing trust with others. Relying on the truth of Scripture, hard-won lessons and her own guardedness, TerKeurst wrestles with what it looks like to navigate new connections and identify red flags in every kind of relational scenario.
“My Story, Your Glory,” Matthew West
Two-time K-LOVE Fan Award winner Matthew West affirms we serve a God who wants to redeem every chapter of our lives in “My Story, Your Glory.” Titled after his 2023 album, the 30-day devotional walks readers past their mistakes and into the light of God’s abundant grace. Pulling examples from his own life, as well as familiar stories from the Bible, the hitmaker helps readers better understand God’s character, His affection toward us and the unique purposes He has for our lives. Accompanied by Scripture, convicting prompts and clear activations, “My Story, Your Glory” points back to the ultimate Author and Perfecter of our faith.
