The IVP Autumn 2024 Releases

We’ve got seven (or possibly 8!) exciting releases over the final season of 2024 – read on to find out more about them.

The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus

Christian revival in Iran is spreading across the world. In this title, Phil Moore explores the particular form of this revival – The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus; revealing how a growing movement of disciple-making in Muslim countries, predominately led by women, has redeployed the mission manifesto which Jesus gave to the ‘seventy-two’ (Luke 10).

The book incorporates astonishing testimonies of the Spirit’s work in the midst of persecution, not only to provoke thanksgiving, but to inspire and re-equip us in our endeavour to make new Christ-followers in the secular West.

Living to Please God

Tracing the Biblical theme of ‘pleasing God’, Lee Gatiss gives us time and space to discover what “everyday” living for God looks like. Each chapter is full of pastoral sensitivity and insight, turning our eyes to God-commended saints and (ultimately) to Jesus – God’s beloved Son, with whom he is well-pleased.

Although Living to Please God is especially suitable for Lent study (for either individuals or groups), those reading at any time of year will be challenged and encouraged by its invitation – namely “Life for a higher purpose & pleasure.”

You Can Change (New Edition) & You Can Change Devotional

Tim Chester’s bestselling You Can Change holds out the hope of God’s transforming power for weak, sinful human beings. This new and fully revised edition will equip Christians to live out freedom in Christ, and to fight in the daily battle against sin by God’s strength; all through Chester’s presentation of God’s powerful Word, and its effect across the ages.

The You Can Change Devotional is a ten-week Bible reading plan, made to accompany this new edition, but also usable on its own.

You can find out more about the New Edition of ‘You Can Change’, and order your copy in paperback or ebook, here; and the ‘You Can Change (Devotional)’, here.

More Than Conquerors

This book takes up the desperately needed rallying-cry for ‘Radical discipleship’, calling us toward need and away from comfort – toward authentic lives of faith in an age of comfortable Christianity. Importantly however, the author (Simon Guillebaud) shows how the “kingdom call” of God to take up one’s cross – the true cross – presupposes the faithfulness of God.

Simon invites us to join the vanguard in the battle to stop “What I watch, what I listen to, what I spend my time and money on” from eroding “my true sense of identity and worth as a child of God”; the conquerors of which battle find fullness of life in Jesus.

We also have two landmark titles publishing on our Apollos imprint.

Unmuted

Usha Reifsnider’s involvement in mission work to serve migrants and dispossessed people across the world, and her role as director for the Centre for Missionaries from the Majority World, mean she is well suited to discuss “The Violence of Silence” in regard to the global church.

In this Apollos title, Usha, herself a British South Asian Christ-follower from a Hindu Background, touches on complex issues regarding evangelization and multifaceted identities; even as she pioneers and advocates a vital mode of “Unmuting” the muted voices of our world.

Numbers 20-36

Michael Morales’s Numbers commentary, the newest instalment in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series, is both thoroughly academic and highly accessible. Numbers 20-36 is the second part of Morales’ two-volume commentary (click here for more information on the first volume). In it he opens up to us the riches of Numbers; showing the relevance of Israel’s wilderness sojourn for ecclesiology, and the journey of God’s pilgrim people today.

Reviewing Morales’s contribution, J. Gary Millar, Principal of Queensland Theological College, writes, “This deserves to be the standard evangelical work on Numbers for many years to come, and will repay careful study by pastors, scholars and students alike.”
