Big ‘World’: David Jeremiah’s latest release, What in the World Is Going On? (Thomas Nelson), debuted at No. 2 on the Oct. 26 New York Times Hardcover Advice best-sellers list reflecting sales through the week ending Oct. 11. The book includes 10 key prophecies from the Bible.

Reconciling race with faith is the focus of the provocatively titled More Christian Than African-American by Kimberly Cash Tate ($13.99), releasing Jan. 1 from VMI Publishers.

It takes a team: David C. Cook releases Get in the Game by Ross Parsley ($9.99) on Jan. 1. Parsley, recording artist and worship pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., uses humor and football anecdotes to coach readers into joining a winning team for the cause of Christ.

In similar fashion, Michael Cavanaugh seeks to engage the unengaged—single adults—in the body of Christ in Solo ($12.99, Whitaker House), releasing next month. Cavanaugh uses personal experiences to relay six important points about singleness to readers, including obtaining a personal vision for their lives.

Testing the spirits: Michael Klassen examines the charismatic movement in the Bethany House Publishers (Baker Publishing Group) title Strange Fire, Holy Fire ($13.99), releasing this month. Originally targeted for January, the book’s release was moved up to help provide perspective for readers in the wake of the controversial revival in Lakeland, Fla.

Meeting Christ: WaterBrook Press releases the newest title from Jane Rubietta, Come Along ($13.99), Dec. 16. Rubietta, author of Come Closer, offers encounters with Christ from the Scriptures that she hopes will bring women to a point of transformation.
