“What an honor to be a part of the USA Today Bestseller list,” said author Justin Davis, “This book is written to meet the reader not as they should be, but as they are, and guide them on a journey of overcoming shame, being brutally honest with God, and living in their God-given worth and identity. I am prayerful that this book ignites a movement of authenticity and vulnerability in the Church.”
Also this week, the 10-year success of J. Warner Wallace’s investigation into the claims of the Gospel continues with Cold-Case Christianity – Updated & Expanded Edition debuting on ECPA’s most coveted Top 50 Bestsellers list at #43.
