3 Non-Fiction 21 Fiction 27 Children’s Books 31 Recently Released

Recently a former retailer asked me how we make our product selection. How did we happen to acquire Crazy Love? Did we commission The Action Bible? His question got me thinking that perhaps many outside the walls of our office are not aware of how we choose what to publish. It is neither a haphazard process nor a practiced science. Certainly there is an art to what we do—along with lots of prayer.

But here’s what really shapes our efforts: our mission. At David C Cook, our mission statement is based upon the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:16–20. Therefore, our desire is to provide resources to deepen the faith of those in worship and strengthen the faith of those who doubt. To accomplish this, we target four audiences: Motivated Disciples, Pastors and Ministry Leaders, Families and Parents, and Future Church. Keeping those people in mind helps us narrow our focus.

So how did we select the titles in this catalog? Were we just waiting for some writers to approach us until we reached a quota? No! We search high and low for trusted writers, key ideas, and fresh voices. For every 200 projects we review, we only publish about one of them. We carefully evaluate proposals and ask

questions such as: Does this author have credibility? Can we market and sell this project? Most importantly, we need to know how the project aligns with our mission. Oh, yeah, I haven’t told you our actual mission statement yet, have I? It is on display in a variety of places in our Colorado office because it truly is at the heart of all that we do as we work “to equip the Church with Christ-centered resources for making and teaching today’s disciples who obediently transform today’s generations.”

So whether it is The Action Bible Devotional or the novel A Heartbeat Away, our desire is for transformation. Our desire is that a book from R.C. Sproul will equip disciples, that a DVD series from Lisa Chan will provide Christ-centered teaching to women of all ages. The founders of our company have gone before us in putting this mission into action. We carry on the tradition of David C. Cook, Joseph Bayly, V. Gilbert Beers, and many others who also sat in their offices, flipped through the pages of a proposal, and decided which content would align with our mission. This focus allows us to provide a timeless message in many formats – print, digital, audio, and film – to us who are The Church. Thanks for joining in this high calling.

OCTObeR

Why does God allow suffering and pain? Glorious Ruin reveals that the answer to this age-old question can only be found in God’s presence.

Everyone on earth will experience pain and suffering. But, as best-selling author Tullian Tchividjian explains, God wants to prepare believers for their own day of difficulty. The story of Job shows them how.

God accomplished His purposes in Job’s life. And while God never gives Job an explanation for his suffering, God does give Job Himself—which is everything Job needs. God’s presence is the only healing power, and finding Him is the purpose of pain.

Whatever their circumstances, readers can find freedom in the knowledge that Jesus is all they need.

T h e A U T h o rTullian Tchividjian is the pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, a visiting professor at Reformed Theological Seminary, and a grandson of Billy and Ruth Graham. He is a best-selling author, a contributing editor to Leadership Journal, and a popular conference speaker. Tullian and his family reside in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Home Run: A Novel is based on the major motion picture release starring Vivica A. Fox and Scott Elrod, hitting theaters in Fall 2012.

Major league baseball player Cory Brand is on a downward spiral of addiction, and it’s starting to affect his game. He’s a home-run-hitting star player, but off the field he gets into fights, racks up DUIs, and drinks every chance he gets. After a major foul up on the field, his manager demands that Cory get help. To silence the critics and make his fast-talking publicist happy, Cory joins a Celebrate Recovery group, but what he doesn’t realize is that this group will change his life, his relationships, his career—everything.

The inspiring and authentic message of Home Run is that freedom is possible. This story shows that no hurt is beyond healing, no habit is beyond help, and no hang-up is beyond hope.

David Boyd, whose credits include the film Get Low and the TV shows Friday Night Lights and Without a Trace, directed Home Run the movie.

seeInG THROUGHTHe FOGhope When your World Falls Apart

Ed dobSon

An exploration of identity and faith, Seeing through the Fog invites readers to a vibrant life, an expectant life, a life of joy in each new morning.

Pastor Ed Dobson has spent his life preaching sermons, but this book is not a sermon. He has spent more than ten years with a debilitating illness, but this book is not about grief. He has found joy in the midst of sorrow, but this book is not about looking on the bright side.

Seeing through the Fog is about living well when you realize you can’t live forever. It is about having gratitude for each sunrise, birthday, and moment of knowing God more. It is about holding hope when circumstances hold pain.

With stories, wisdom and unique content distinct from the popular film series, Ed’s Story, Seeing through the Fog will encourage readers in their own difficulties and give them hope for their future.

T h e A U T h o rEd Dobson, pastor emeritus of Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serves as an advisory editor for Christianity Today and consulting editor for Leadership. He holds an earned doctorate from the University of Virginia, was named “Pastor of the Year” by Moody Bible Institute, and is author of numerous books including The Year of Living Like Jesus, and Prayers and Promises When Facing a Life-Threatening Illness. He is also the subject of the seven-part film series Ed’s Story. He lives with his family in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

TROPHY CHIlDSaving parents from performance, preparing Children for Something greater Than Themselves

tEd cunningham

Written for every mom who helps too much with homework just to impress the teacher and every dad who takes credit for his daughter’s soccer success, Trophy Child will give parents the encouragement they need to nurture their kids into who God created them to be.

Our culture’s obsession with achievement often leads parents to form expectations for their kids based on the world’s standards, not on the Bible. As a result, their kids feel they can never measure up.

Trophy Child will help modern Christian parents create a home where children find success in following their heavenly Father’s leading for them—and readers know the joy of seeing their children embrace their full potential as children of God.

T h e A U T h o rPastor Ted Cunningham founded Woodland Hills Family Church in Branson, Missouri, where he lives with his wife and two children. A graduate of Liberty University and Dallas Theological Seminary, he is the author of Young and in Love and has coauthored several books with Dr. Gary Smalley, including The Language of Sex and Great Parents, Lousy Lovers.

THe saMe lOVeA Devotion

paul balochE

The same love is calling us all by name.

In the spring of this year acclaimed worship artist and songwriter Paul Baloche released his twelth album - The Same Love. Each new song was birthed from a genuine inspired moment, an experience Paul describes as an “other than” place. It was out of this place that he created lyrics and melodies designed to achieve his ongoing goal of building a legacy of graciousness. But there were also moments in between the songs where Paul felt there was more to be said. This book is that collection of moments, a progression of thoughts and prayers different from the lyrics but the same as the songs. This is not a devotional, or a book that describes something. This is a devotion, a book that is something.

T h e A U T h o rPaul Baloche is a two-time Dove Award winner and multiple nominee. The artist of radio standards including “Because of Your Love,” “Hosanna (Praise is Rising),” and “Our God Saves.” The writer of top-ranking CCLI songs and modern-day classics such as “Above All,” “Open the Eyes of My Heart,” and “Your Name.” In short, Paul writes the songs that the Church sings. Paul lives with his wife, Rita, in Lindale, Texas, and this year celebrates 20 years as the worship pastor at their local church, Community Fellowship.

BasIC 7-FIlM COlleCTIOnfRanciS chan

The BASIC Collection is the complete 7-film series produced by Flannel, and featuring Francis Chan.

The BASIC short film series, through Chan’s teaching, challenges us to reclaim the simple, full, and beautiful journey of the church that is described in Scripture. In these films, Chan asks the questions many are wondering about: What is church? Who is it for? Is it broken? Can it be better?

“If I only had this as my guide ... if all I had was the Bible ... and I was to read this book and start a ‘church,’ what would it look like?” asks Francis Chan, in the BASIC series. “Would it look like the thing we have built here and all refer to as church? Or would it look radically different?”

The BASIC Collection features seven reflection guides, bonus features, and all seven films, including: Fear God, Follow Jesus, Holy Spirit, Fellowship, Teaching, Prayer, and Communion.

T h e A U T h o rFrancis Chan is the New York Times best-selling author of Crazy Love and Forgotten God and the host of the BASIC.series. He has also written the children’s books Halfway Herbert, The Big Red Tractor and the Little Village, and Ronnie Wilson’s Gift.

He also sits on the board of directors of Children’s Hunger Fund and World Impact. Francis lives in California with his wife, Lisa, and their children.

liSa chan

A short-film series for women featuring Lisa Chan, from the creators of Ed’s Story and BASIC.

The True Beauty films invite women into an authentic conversation about God’s Word. Together with Lisa, viewers will explore the spiritual practices and truths of living life in Christ.

In Be Still, Lisa explores the pressures, perceptions, and expectations that women face and inspires viewers to let go of these lies that keep them busy doing things and encourages them to enjoy being at the feet of Jesus.

Each film in the series weaves Lisa’s teaching with another woman’s story of discovery. Rich in Scripture and practical application, these unique films are ideal for small groups or individuals as they point women to the freeing discovery that true beauty lies in the heart.

T h e A U T h o rLisa Chan is a mother of five and co-founder (with her husband, Francis, author of Crazy Love) of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, California. An accomplished singer, Lisa has recorded three albums, including Endless Beauty. Lisa lives with her family in San Francisco.

sIGnsFIlM THRee: wOODERwin RaphaEl mcmanuS

The third riveting film in Erwin McManus’s Signs series, Wood unpacks the idea of choices. Making choices in life often seems as if we’re in a jungle and there’s no clear path. In Genesis 3, we read about the Tree of Life, the place of man’s first rebellious choice—and we see that each choice creates the future for ourselves and our relationship to God. Everything is interconnected.

The film portrays a hunter sprinting through a lush jungle, trees whipping past him as he searches for a path. The man eventually comes to a symbolic “tree of life” and faces a choice of his own. We discover that love is a choice, faith is a choice, and in fact, choice can be a creative and deeply spiritual act.

T h e A U T h o rErwin Raphael McManus is an artist, filmmaker, author, storyteller, activist, and innovator. He is the creative force behind McManus Studios and primary communicator for Mosaic in Los Angeles. McManus has spoken to over one million people around the world about the importance of creativity, beauty, and story in light of God’s vision for humanity. McManus and his family live in Los Angeles.

a HeaRTBeaT awaYA novel

haRRy kRauS

When a brilliant surgeon undergoes a heart transplant, her life transforms as she begins experiencing memories of a murder she never witnessed.

The residents worship her. Nurses step out of her way. Her colleagues respect and sometimes even fear her. But surgeon Tori Taylor never expected to end up on this side of the operating table. Now she has a new heart. Her life, formerly controlled and predictable, is now chaotic. Dr. Taylor had famously protected herself from love or commitment, but her walls are beginning to crumble. And strangest of all, memories surface that will take her on a journey out of the operating room and into a murder investigation. Where there once was a heart of stone, there is a heart of flesh. And there is no going back.

T h e A U T h o rHarry Kraus, M.D. is a board-certified surgeon, medical missionary to East Africa, and accomplished writer of both non-fiction and fiction. Medical realism and gripping plotlines distinguish his writing, as he gets most of his ideas with a scalpel in hand. Dr. Kraus resides in Kenya with his wife Kris and the youngest of his three sons.

Allison Chamberlain has done everything God required of her—but as He continues to nudge her in the third and final book of The Reluctant Prophet Series, she is ready to say, “Enough!”
