The IVP April 2023 Releases

Core to IVP's mission and vision is the idea of being 'true to the Bible ' - and that means, we hope, that all of our publishing is informed by and infused with scripture, the big story, and the complexity and eternal relevance of God's word.

Publishing in April 2023 is a new devotional book, 'Walk His Way', by Andrew Shead. This rich short book on the Psalms invites us to walk in the way of Jesus, by following the same path to wisdom, through the Psalms. The Psalms invite us to re-read the same words Jesus read, pray the same prayers Jesus prayed, and follow Christ along his path of trust and obedience. Andrew is Head of Old Testament at Moore College, Sydney, and author of 'A Mouth Full of Fire' on Jeremiah, as well as editor of 'Stirred by a Noble Theme', also on the Psalms. Myrto Theocharous, Academic Dean and professor of Hebrew and old Testament at the Greek Bible College in Pikermi, Greece, says of 'Walk His Way':

"As I read the Psalms I often wish to have a spiritual tutor next to me, showing me the deeper meanings of what I am reading, how the Psalter is prayed by Jesus and with Jesus, and how some difficult texts may be reconciled with my own Christian experience. This small book by Andrew Shead serves the role of such a tutor. Through a selection of key psalms, the author offers a valuable lens through which to reflect on the Psalter theologically and prayerfully!"

You can order your copy of 'Walk His Way' in print and ebook now - publishing on the 20th of April 2023.

We are also delighted to be publishing the next batch of our updated Bible Speaks Today volumes - with smart new covers, revised typesetting, and some minor tweaks, these classic expositions are ready for a new generation. You can find out about the updates in our blog post here. Joshua Wells, the Senior Commissioning Editor who's been looking after these updates, says:

"It's been a privilege to play my part in continuing the respectful update of this classic IVP series. Going through each of these biblical books with master expositors has been faith building, and I've learned a lot. We are praying that this fresh presentation of the BST series will continue to bless hundreds of thousands of leaders, and millions of disciples."
