We’re excited to share some great news! Two of our Bibles were recognized at the Spanish Evangelical Publishers Association (SEPA) Awards, honoring excellence in Christian publishing.
Our Biblia Inspira NTV was honored with the prestigious Jim Cook Bible of the Year 2025 award. This distinction reflects the meaningful impact this Bible continues to have, encouraging readers to engage with Scripture in creative and personal ways.
Biblia Inspira is the Spanish version of the Inspire Bible, the bestselling coloring Bible in English. The Biblia Inspira NTV uses creative expression to connect you with God and Scripture. This single-column, wide-margin Bible designed for coloring and creative journaling features over 400 beautiful line-art illustrations created by Latin American artists to inspire creativity while you read the Word of God.
Biblia Inspirais great for individual use or for social interactions as it lends itself well to small groups who are looking for a creative hobby. It will be so fun to share your artwork and inspire others through Scripture.
In addition, our Biblia de estudio del diario vivir para jóvenes received the award for Study Bible with the Best Cover and Interior Design. This recognition highlights the thoughtful work that went into creating a resource that is both visually engaging and deeply relevant for the next generation. This Bible encourages thoughtful engagement with the Scriptures, inviting the reader into a deeper and deeper understanding of God and his work in the world.
Both of these Bibles use the clear, accurate text of the Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV) and also come with the Filament Bible app.
We are thankful to everyone whose dedication and creativity made these achievements possible.

When God’s Word Becomes a Daily Habit
Tyndale House Publishers
Dan Ehrman, Director of Church Relations and Strategy at Tyndale House Publishers
When we encounter the living God, transformation happens. The God whom no eye has seen has made himself known through his Word. But distractions press in — urgent and relentless — while God’s Word sits waiting for us to move from the urgent to the important. It’s a tough sell: reading a 750,000-word book thousands of years old in a world of reels du jour.
Forty years ago, The One Year Bible launched at the behest of Tyndale House Publishers founder Ken Taylor, and it has revolutionized Bible engagement for millions. Combining passages from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs, it guides readers through the entire Bible in 365 daily readings. Many churches have embraced it over the decades — I remember going through it at my church in high school in the ’90s.
This year, Asbury Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, purchased The One Year Bible to give away to members, visitors, and friends — because, as they put it, “the daily habit of reading God’s Word will change your life.” They partnered with Church Connect, directly connecting the church with Bibles, Christian books, and trusted resources on mission for discipleship and outreach to unify all people in our faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Oklahoma’s state motto is Labor Omnia Vincit — “Work Conquers All Things” — and the Asbury team has lived up to it. Launching their own Year Through the Bible initiative, they planned a year-long sermon series drawing each week’s message from the prior week’s readings. They also developed eye-catching Bible reading water bottles to promote the initiative.
Asbury’s Senior Pastor Andrew Forrest came to Tulsa after leading a successful church plant in the Dallas area. Asbury was one of the larger churches in their denomination before quietly exiting a few years ago, and pivoting out of that season of transition, they are pressing forward with ministry firmly centered on God’s Word. Hear from him directly in conversation with me on The Church Around the World podcast.
It is encouraging to see God moving in a new generation of his people. The creativity and hard work the Asbury team has invested is an invitation — to pray, to consider, and to ask how God might be calling your church to use The One Year Bible to make an eternal impact in this generation.
Let’s build up his church together.
Dan Ehrman serves as Director of Church Relations and Strategy with Tyndale House Publishers, leading a venture to resource churches for outreach and discipleship. He hosts The Church Around the World podcast on Church-Connect.com and holds an MA in Evangelism and Leadership from Wheaton College. With a background spanning Christian media, publishing, and church consulting, Dan brings hands-on ministry experience and strategic insight to leaders navigating today’s church landscape.

Avoiding the Summer Slump
Tyndale House Publishers
Has Maycember taken over your house too? End of the year parties, programs, events, games, and more can overwhelm our calendars. But with summer just around the corner it’s important to think about ways to keep our kids engaged with God’s Word when all the school programs end.
We can help! The GO Bible can help your kids avoid the summer slump with fun and interactive ways to keep learning about God through his Word. We even have a new resource releasing this summer that will help keep kids off screens and have fun exploring the world around them.
Coming This Summer: Sunday Scribbles
Keep kids ages 7–11 engaged and growing in their faith with Sunday Scribbles, a year-long, screen-free journal that uses writing, drawing, games, and reflection to help kids listen closely, remember biblical truths, and build a meaningful record of their spiritual journey.
Here are some activities from the GO Bible for you to try:
Key Verse Challenges
Key Verse Challenges focus on a verse of the Bible and come with a fun, interactive challenge to help kids (and adults) remember and understand it. Here are few to try.
Factoids
Are your kids fans of fun facts, “Did You Know,” or “Weird But True”? Factoids point out interesting, strange, fun, and engaging facts about the Bible your kids (or even your friends) might not know are there. You can play your own “Did You Know” game using just a few of the many Factoids found throughout the GO Bible.
Interactive Reading
Sometimes when reading the Bible, kids can get lost or bored and start to disengage. The GO Bible was created to help kids know the Bible was written for them, too! First, it has the engaging New Living Translation text that helps kids not just read but also comprehend God’s Word. In addition to the who, what, where, when, why, and how of each Bible book introduction, there is also a “Seek and Find” section with four important points to look out for in that book of the Bible. It’s a way to keep kids’ ears open and minds engaged while helping them learn how to study the Bible.
While reading Proverbs 31, many of you, like me, have probably cringed at what appear to be standards for women—and impossible ones at that. But we miss the point because the poem’s original structure is lost to us in translation, and because we are not all wives. But each of us can find inspiration from this woman to live with God-honoring excellence.
Imagine an older man sitting down three thousand years ago to write something to honor his wife on some special occasion: Starting with the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, he bases his writing on his mother’s teachings (31:1). He creates twenty-two phrases that describe the woman he loves with a lot of flourish and perhaps a bit of exaggeration.
Keep in mind he wrote this in a society that expected all women to be wives, mothers, and in charge of their households. How might we apply a similar idea today? Perhaps we need a new acrostic to honor a WOMAN.
She is: Wise in business and at home, Open to listen to others, Mindful of those less fortunate, Attentive to God’s Spirit Neighborly—a friend to all she meets.
This, too, is an ideal that none of us entirely fulfills. So, how do you be “a virtuous and capable” (31:10) you? Try asking God how he sees you. Write an acrostic using the letters of your name. Using Scripture, pen how you are God’s beloved image-bearer and steward of creation (Genesis 1:26-28), daughter of God and heir to the Kingdom (Romans 8:17), gifted and called to serve God (Philippians 3:12-13), and more! The good news is that God knows you. He calls you by name. And his Word shows us all how to live as women “who fear the Lord” and “will be greatly praised” (31:30).
Reflection Questions
How is God shaping you into a “virtuous and capable” person? Does reflecting on how God sees you change how you view yourself?

How many times have we wished that we could overcome the addiction or compulsion that keeps us in bondage?
We know what it is like to struggle with the effects of addiction and the craziness this brings to our lives.

We may feel despair and wonder if there really is any way out of the insanity of our current circumstances. Maybe escape from our plight is impossible, at least without God’s help. But with faith in God, even the impossible can happen.
“The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Show us how to increase our faith.’ The Lord answered, ‘If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, “May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,” and it would obey you!’” (Luke 17:5-6, NLT). Matthew also recorded Jesus’ words: “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible” (Matthew 17:20, NLT).
Faith is a mysterious commodity. Jesus says that if we have faith, real faith, it only takes a small amount to make a big difference. We may be exercising faith without even realizing it. It takes faith to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. It takes faith to work through the steps of a recovery program.
Evoto
It is comforting to know that God only needs a tiny bit of faith in order to work in powerful ways to restore our sanity.
This Recovery Principle Devotional is fromthe Life Recovery Bible. Guidance, support, and hope are here! Within the pages of the Life Recovery Bible, you’ll find a powerful foundation for recovery with spiritual care, practical wisdom, and the life-changing Word of God. This Bible has helped millions find freedom. Start your own journey today! It’s available in the NLT and KJV and also in the Spanish NTV and RVR60.
Audio Bibles aren’t new, but their use has been on the rise for over a decade. A recent study done by the American Bible Society found that over half of Bible readers access Scripture on their phones at least some of the time, and Gen Z is the first cohort to prefer digital over print. In 2018, Barna found that audio Bible usage was up to 36% from 30% in its 2012 study.
Filament Bibles are the perfect intersection for this trend in Bible engagement, offering print + digital content that includes access to multiple full audio Bible options. One of the comments we often hear is how people like to listen to the audio Bible while reading along with their print Bible in their hands.
“I listen every day on my Filament app. I like to follow along in my print Bible so I can reflect on what is being said and then write my own thoughts and reflections in my Bible,” said a Filament reader in the Filament Community Facebook group.
The New Living Translation is uniquely positioned for this audio trend since one of its distinguishing features is that is an audibly enjoyable translation. The NLT is crafted to sound natural, engaging, and impactful when spoken aloud.
During the translation process, the NLT is read aloud, with an eye toward cadence and flow, to ensure that the text sounds natural and engaging. This focus on auditory appeal makes the NLT ideal for audio Bibles. When read aloud, the NLT supports Scripture comprehension in a unique way, resonating deeply with listeners and bringing God’s Word to life.
Filament for the Win!
Tyndale House Publishers
For 13 years, the Wheelersburg Methodist Church in Ohio has hosted a back-to-school rally for local athletes complete with the school band, food, and this past year, Filament Bibles!
“We invite athletes from the local high school by reaching out to coaches and schools. We have athletes from all kinds of sports, including football, volleyball, cross-country, soccer, tennis, and more. We have the cheerleaders and band too!” said Kimberly Chaffin, one of the event coordinators and Bible donors.
Spirit Sunday, as it’s called, begins with a breakfast just for the students. Then parents and members of the community come to the church sanctuary for the event that includes testimonies by student athletes, music by the band, and excitement for the year ahead.
During the service, members of the church and community commit to pray for the students for the entire school year. During the breakfast this past year, each student was given a Filament-enabled Compact Bible in the accurate, understandable, and audibly enjoyable New Living Translation. All parents and adults in attendance were offered a Bible as well.
“We had 550 people at the event, and not one of the over 580 donated Filament Bibles was left. They were all gone. I don’t know who created the Filament Bible app, but it’s amazing, and they are responsible for a miracle that is taking place in our community,” said Kimberly.
How Are You Springing into a New Season?
Tyndale House Publishers
Spring is often thought of as a season of newness and growth. We see green grass starting to sprout on our lawns and trees showing their first glimpses of fresh leaves. In the church calendar, it’s not only a time of reflection on what hinders us from growing but also a time to celebrate rebirth through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
We have some ideas of resources to help you and those you love grow in your understanding and relationship with Jesus during this new season.
God with Us is a unique and powerful telling of the Gospel—the biography and teachings of Jesus and the story of redemption—as the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are woven together into a single narrative. God with Us crystallizes the story of Jesus, amplifies his life-changing message, and clarifies the gift of salvation. It is a reading experience unlike any other.
Immerse: Messiah is the first of six volumes of the Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience program. Messiah takes the reader on a new and unique journey through every book of the New Testament. Each part of Messiahbegins with one of the Gospels paired with a selection of other New Testament books to provide the reader with an enjoyable and impactful reading experience centered on Jesus. The end result is a Bible developed for the purpose of being read and understood, not referred to. Messiah is a new way to interact with God’s Word.

At the end of the year, many of us start thinking of a resolution to help us focus during the coming year. Maybe it’s eating healthier, exercising, finishing a book a month, or learning a new hobby. But we might also feel frustrated that we didn’t quite meet our last goal.
Though we can’t help with the diet and exercise goals, we do have some resources that can help you meet your goal of staying engaged in Scripture all year long. Whether you want to tackle the whole Bible in a year, focus on the New Testament, or just resolve to read a portion of Scripture each day, we can help! And you can even read or listen to the Bible while you exercise (so maybe we can help with that!)
