WordServe News October 2017

Happy Halloween! Exciting things have been happening this month at WordServe Literary.

On the final post of each month you’ll find a list of Water Cooler contributors’ recently released books along with a recap of WordServe client news.

New Releases

Christian George released Volume II of The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon. Part of a multi-volume set that includes full-color facsimiles, transcriptions, contextual and biographical introductions, and editorial annotations, and written for scholars, pastors, and students alike, The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon will add approximately 10 percent more material to Spurgeon’s body of literature.

Krista Phillips released The Engagement Plot with Barbour’s Shiloh Run Imprint. Perfect for fans of “The Bachelor,” it follows the story of Hanna and Will after Will shatters Hanna’s heart in front of millions on reality TV. When he shows up on Hanna’s home turf in Minnesota, can she find it in her heart to forgive him?

Curt Steinhorst released Can I Have Your Attention?, cowritten with Jonathan McKee. Steinhorst shows business leaders how to cut through the noise and get their employees back to work. Technology has left people spending so much time responding to the interruptions that they’ve lost the ability to focus and do their jobs. Yet, the potential for harnessing the power of your team’s attention has never been greater–if you can capture it.

Glenn and Ellen Schuknecht released A Spiritual Heritage with Kregel. In this guide for raising children to be Christ-following adults and parents, through compelling, insightful stories from parents and grandparents who’ve been in the trenches, the Schuknechts demonstrate why that heart-level connection is so crucial in building long-lasting, connected relationships with a foundation of Christ.

Tiffany Smiling released Your Dream. God’s Plan. Written with Margot Starbuck, it shares Smiling’s story of suffering a stroke in high school that left her paralyzed, and how God convinced her that he could use the broken pieces of her life for a greater plan. It also promises the reader that he has something better in store for you, too–God is writing your amazing story, designed for His glory and your fulfillment.

Joe Wheeler released Christmas in My Heart 26, the latest volume in his long-running series of old-fashioned Christmas stories. Featuring 16 new stories, this anthology offers something for the whole family to enjoy.

New Contracts 

Paul Basden and Jim Johnson signed with Harvest House for the publication of What Do I Tell My Kids About…?, which tackles the toughest topics kids and parents face today and offers wisdom rooted in biblical truths and personal experience to help parents confidently engage their kids in meaningful conversations.

Kathy Berry signed with Kregel for the publication of When Words Fail, a collaboration with Westminster Canterbury Richmond that offers practical information and tools to equip minsters, laypeople, and other members of faith communities to meet the spiritual and pastoral needs of those living with dementia.

Michael and Christopher Ross signed with Harvest House for their next book, “The Kid-Only Guide to Winning in Life.” Packed with faith tips from sports celebrities and written through the eyes of a Christian teen, this tween devotional applies God’s Word to their everyday hangouts: media, gaming, sports, friendships, school, and life on the home front.

Paula Rinehart and Connally Gilliam signed with NavPress for the publication of their book, Exhale. It is due out in the fall of 2019.

Christian George signed with Lifeway for the publication of a 4-volume series, If Spurgeon Still Preached: Modern Sermons from a Classic Author. The first volume will release in 2018.
