Another Life: Discovering the Healing Power of Purpose on My Long Journey from Player to Preacher

by Darryl Strawberry - Jerome Preisler

A record-breaking MLB star turned minister shares the wisdom he gained from overcoming hardships and reminds us that it's never too late to find a new life through love, generosity, compassion and personal growth.

With four World Series rings, baseball legend Darryl Strawberry is one of the greatest hitters in the long history of the New York Mets, with a home-run record that held for 37 years. But Darryl's success on the baseball field came hand-in-hand with personal challenges that included substance abuse, divorces, cancer and jail time.

Two decades ago, he overcame the demons brought on by his childhood traumas and found true redemption and restoration. Today, as an ordained Minister of the Gospel, his purpose and passion is helping others transform their lives.

Another Life takes readers on the road with Darryl as he travels around the country with his son Jordan, preaching 270 days a year at motivational conferences and churches, and in schools, prisons and hospitals. Strawberry's life experiences show us that we all can heal what's broken and hurting on the inside and that our physical health is as important as our emotional and spiritual health.

In these pages, he reflects on the invaluable lessons he's learned and the deep-rooted values and principles he's gained through hard experience, the powerful living examples of his mother Ruby and wife Tracy and his eventual acceptance of Christ's unconditional love.

Everyone knows Darryl Strawberry as the home-run king. Another Life shares Darryl's true legacy as a minister, a father and a believer in restoration, redemption and starting over.

The Darling's Daughter

by Sydney Schmied

A woman chasing the truth. A man running from his past. And a secret that threatens the fragile trust between them.

Searching for answers about her mother's suspicious death, artist Angelica Woods takes a job painting backdrops at the Majestic Theater, the very place her famous actress mother warned her to avoid. When she discovers cryptic notes and bloody evidence of an old murder, Angie realizes her mother's warning may have been meant to protect her from a deadly secret.

Architect Trace Ackerman has worked hard to build a quiet, respectable life far removed from his former mistakes. Renovating the Majestic is meant to be a fresh start-until Angie awakens feelings he never planned to risk again. Drawn to her courage and vulnerability, Trace offers his protection as rumors swirl and danger edges closer. But the past he's worked so hard to outrun threatens to surface, and Trace fears the truth could cost him Angie's trust and the future he longs to build.

With a killer determined to silence them both, Angie and Trace must decide if uncovering the truth about her mother's death is worth risking their own lives and hearts. Set against the backdrop of a historic theater in 1912 Ohio, this romantic suspense weaves together murder, betrayal and the redeeming power of faith and forgiveness.

The Green Soul: Returning to Our Sacred Belonging in Nature

by Lucinda M Vardey

This capstone work of bestselling spiritual writer Lucinda M. Vardey reveals itself as an unforgettable field guide to the wisdom of the wild and our place in its superabundance.

Nature invites all to receive the grand inheritance of the great outdoors, yet modern life estranges us from many of its greatest gifts: sanctuary, superabundance, peace and belonging. It's time to end our exile from true flourishing, and take our place in the wisdom of the wild.

Modern mystic and pilgrimage guide Lucinda M. Vardey calls what we hunger for the Green Soul, the active participation of one's being with the larger, living being of all creation. The greening of the soul promises:

• the joys of enchantment
• purpose and participation in the world's deepest aliveness
• authentic embodiment
• and a collective consciousness upon which the healing of our world depends.

Lucinda's field notes emerge from her own environment: a 500-year-old farmhouse in an ancient valley in Tuscany, neighboring fields of wildflowers, a mountain stream and an ancient stone barn now dedicated as a chapel for climate care. Saint Francis of Assisi once walked in this very place, calling the earth Mother and praising all its creation.

But you don't have to live on sacred lands to experience the full gifts of the Green Soul. Drawing upon ecological research, awe-evoking narratives of sacred encounter in nature and spiritual teachers of the ages, Lucinda reveals the modern problem of our exile from spiritual belonging with the earth, as well as a field map for renewing this sacred contact.

Consider this your invitation to walk among the wildflowers, rewilding your spirituality and renewing your life.

C. S. Lewis: The Authorized and Revised Biography

by Roger Green - Walter Hooper

Roger Lancelyn Green and Walter Hooper wrote a memorable biography about their pal, C.S. Lewis. "... We have sought to tell his story as best we could, to lay before them as clear a picture as we could capture of his everyday life, of his friendships and interests and how he came to write the books that are still claiming a wide and appreciative public in many parts of the world ..." C.S. Lewis tells the fascinating life story of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century by those who knew him personally.

You'll learn more about:

• Lewis's childhood, being raised in a Christian household and how he lost his faith in his teenage years.

• The Chronicles of Narnia and the thousands of letters he wrote to family, friends and strangers.
• Joy, the love of his life.
• Lewis's last days and the divine impact he had on others.

This biography is for longtime fans of C.S. Lewis and readers being introduced to Lewis's works for the first time.

Green and Hooper provide a deeply authentic and intentional look into the life of a brilliant writer who will forever be cherished. This is the resource everyone goes to when they want to learn more about the great C.S. Lewis.

Candy Apple Kisses: A Cozy, Low-Spice Fall Romance

by Amy Clipston

"Amy Clipston delivers swoon-worthy romance." --Lee Tobin McClain, NYT bestselling author

"Amy Clipston writes with warmth and heart." --RaeAnne Thayne, NYT bestselling author

This autumn, love is in the air.

Artist Emily Carmichael has always considered Splendid Lake her home, but she never imagined she would ever return. However, when she learns her childhood best friend, Jake Hughes, is struggling to save the beloved Hughes Family Orchard, she doesn't hesitate to pack her bags and head back to the North Carolina mountains--even if it means battling a corporate giant and resisting the temptation of too many candy apples.

For Jake, the orchard is more than just a business; it's a living legacy, a bond with his father and a promise to his family. As Jake and Emily work side-by-side to prepare for the orchard's centennial anniversary, long-held feelings, once hidden beneath years of friendship, begin to surface. For Jake, Emily's return illuminates what's been missing in his life, and for Emily, being with Jake stirs long-dormant emotions she's too scared to name. The air is crisp, the apples are sweet and the sparks? They're flying higher than a bonfire.

But with Jake's ex-girlfriend's dramatic reappearance and the mounting pressure to keep the orchard from failing, their budding romance is put to the test. Can these two best friends turn a season of chaos into a lifetime of love, or will their romance fall flat before the first frost?

"Clipston's heartfelt writing and engaging characters make her a fan favorite." -- Library Journal

First-run copies of this print edition come with an exclusive scratch and sniff apple-scented sticker--a little extra sweetness for the readers who were here from the beginning. Because some stories are meant to be felt with all your senses. Cozy up. Scratch. Sniff. Swoon.

This Is the Main Event: Discovering the Life You Long for in the Life You Have

by Joshua Luke Smith

"'This is the main event' is the kind of phrase I'd like to tattoo on my arm--and my spirit . . . a thoughtful, artful, soulful meditation on life and faith and time and what really matters." -Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author

A simple mantra to change everything: discover how to encounter God in your everyday, and practice extraordinary presence in an ordinary life.

What if the life we long for isn't elsewhere but rather right here, waiting to be discovered?

Joshua Luke Smith believes the greatest lie facing our generation is that the life we long for lies beyond the life that we have. We so easily learn to disdain the inconveniences and interruptions that infuse our everyday. But the real transformation happens when we look at our life as it is and dare to announce: This is the main event.

With devotional depth and prophetic wisdom, and interspersed with the author's original poetry and blessings, This Is the Main Event is your invitation to awaken to the sacred in your ordinary life. The pathway is through three spiritual practices, as Joshua commends, each proclaiming a transformative truth: 

• LAMENTATION: you are allowed to name your pain
• CONSECRATION: you are called to let grace change you
• ADORATION: you are invited to live in the wonder of God's daily presence

It's easy to see the bills, packed lunches, traffic jams, dentist appointments as mundanity, but then again, God comes to you in the shape of your actual life. Joshua Luke Smith writes from the raw materials of his own ordinary life--toddler tuck-ins, recovery meetings, flat tires a mile from home--to speak to yours. As you'll soon discover, every moment becomes meaningful when you recognize the God who meets you in it--a holy encounter accessed in the everyday.

A Tranquil Body: Finding the Peace of God in Breath, Movement, and Awareness

by Joshua Maria Garcia

A devotional from a rising TikTok spiritual guide that offers practical exercises to help readers embrace their body, ease their anxiety and deepen their faith.

For much of Christian history, the body, often referred to as “the flesh,” has been associated with sin, weakness and carnal desire. Many have been taught to view it as a hindrance to spiritual growth, something to tame or transcend. A Tranquil Body offers a radical reclaiming of the body as a sacred instrument of grace. Rooted in the mystery of the Incarnation -- God becoming flesh -- this guide reminds us that our bodies are not obstacles to holiness but bridges to it. To worship with your body is not only possible; it is deeply and profoundly Christian.

Through guided practices of breath, posture, movement and stillness, A Tranquil Body helps readers draw closer to God by becoming more fully present in their own bodies. It's especially suited for those who struggle with anxiety, offering gentle tools to ground the nervous system, regulate breath and awaken the senses to God's nearness. Whether kneeling in prayer, walking in nature or simply breathing with intention, this book invites readers to rediscover the body not as a burden but as a means of encountering the divine.

Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity): On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

by Pope Leo XIV

Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, speaks directly to one of the most urgent questions of our time: What does it mean to remain fully human in the age of artificial intelligence? With moral clarity and pastoral depth, the first American pope offers a compelling Christian response to the rise of digital technocracy and power, showing how faith, reason and the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching can guide society through rapid technological change.

Drawing on Scripture, Church history and the social teaching of the modern papacy, Leo XIV explores how AI is reshaping work, education, family life, politics, warfare and public truth. While acknowledging the remarkable potential of AI, he warns against systems that reduce people to data points, labor units or instruments of control and offers a hopeful vision rooted in dignity, solidarity, justice and the common good. Both intellectually substantial and accessible to general readers, Magnifica Humanitas is an essential book for Catholics, Christians, ethicists and anyone concerned about the human future.

• A landmark papal reflection on AI and human dignity
• Grounded in Scripture and Catholic social teaching
• Addresses work, surveillance, misinformation, education, war and family life
• Combines theological depth with a clear, approachable writing style
• Offers a hopeful Christian vision for the future of technology

Based on a True Story: Vibe Shifts, the End of Deconstruction, and the Reboot of Meaning

by Paul Anleitner

You'll Laugh. You'll Cry. You'll Kiss Despair Goodbye.

Religious renaissances. Meaning crises. Movie reboots. Metamodernism. You listening to Creed again. It's all connected. Cynicism is out, sincerity is back, and there's a new generation looking for hope in unexpected places. We're beginning to find ourselves moving from despair to meaning. As a burned-out culture begins to reject the emptiness of endless deconstruction, people are searching for guidance to rebuild meaning, identity and community. And, believe it or not, your life story and the narrative of our culture are all wrapped up together.

In Based on a True Story, cultural theologian and podcaster Paul Anleitner traces the societal shifts that brought us to this moment and points to the emerging longing in culture to find a better story that can solve our meaning crisis and save us, quite literally, from civilization going completely Mad Max on us all. Combining humor and cutting-edge insights from science, Christian theology and philosophy with a keen cultural eye, Anleitner offers a roadmap for rebuilding our lives and culture around a true story. Based on a True Story is a book for skeptics, seekers and Christian believers alike, a timely invitation to rediscover what it means to truly live.

New Spiritual Books for June 2026

A Committee of One: How Faith + Action = a Purposefull Life

by Opal Lee

A Committee of One: How Faith + Action = A PurposeFULL Life is an inspirational memoir/self-help book from the Grandmother of Juneteenth that will be a testament to the transformative power of resilience, faith and love.

In 2016, then-90-year-old Opal Lee began her Opal Walks 2 DC campaign where she endeavored to walk 1,400 miles from Fort Worth, Texas. to Washington, D.C., to bring awareness to the cause of making Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday. She was convinced that the country needed and wanted the unity that celebrating the abolition of slavery can bring. That it was bigger than Texas. Thankfully, on June 17, 2021, President Joseph Biden passed the bill making Juneteenth a National holiday and Ms. Opal stood alongside the president during this historic occasion, receiving the pen he used to sign off on the law.

A Committee of One takes readers on a profound journey through Ms. Opal Lee's life by sharing stories that will reveal a life marked by resilience, faith and unwavering determination. Drawing parallels to the beloved narrative style of Tuesdays with Morrie, A Committee of One will weave together personal anecdotes with timely wisdom and offer every reader inspiring nuggets for reflection.

From the opening chapters, her narrative unfolds with the kind of raw honesty Ms. Opal is known for. She shares the challenges she's experienced (including the destruction of her childhood home by a white mob when she was 12 and the failure of her first marriage) as well as how those devastations allowed her the room to grow and become the woman she is today. All these stories are a testament to the indomitable human spirit, the fearlessness of our fortitude. The bottom-line goal in every chapter is to impart one significant and invaluable lesson: Adversity, though inevitable, need not define one's destiny.

The heart of the story is Ms. Opal's steadfast commitment to hard work and perseverance. From balancing the demands of motherhood and education to securing career advancements to the activism that led her to be named "The Grandmother of Juneteenth," she's always tried to embody the transformative power of being steadfast. Because of this, A Committee of One is a powerful reminder that success is not measured by the absence of trials but by the willingness to confront and overcome them.

What if living boldly for Christ meant breaking the rules of this world? Are you ready to follow Jesus like never before as you to chase Him boldly and fearlessly? It's time to answer your call to an unshakable faith and a greater purpose.
