Thirsty by Amy Nappa has been named the 2010 Theme Bible Study of the Year by the Assemblies of God (AG) denomination's national women's department. Thousands of Assemblies of God churches nationwide will use Thirsty as their primary women's Bible study next year.

"I'm humbled to find my book honored in this way," said Nappa.

In 2009, the Assemblies of God selected The Intentional Woman by Carol Travilla and Joan C. Webb (also NavPress) for its Theme Bible Study of the Year.

On September 15, 2009, NavPress released The Message//REMIX: Solo [Pink Edition] by Eugene H. Peterson with the goal of raising breast cancer awareness and supporting prevention efforts. Just three months later, NavPress is proud to report that 20,000 units of the white-and-pink devotional Bible have been sold.

"We are very excited about the number of people we have been able to reach and the lives we have been able to impact both spiritually and physically with the Solo [Pink Edition]. We are looking forward to continuing this program into 2010," says Jill Johnson, NavPress Director of The Message and Bible Development.

NavPress is donating a portion of the proceeds from every sale of The Message//REMIX: Solo [Pink Edition] to breast cancer prevention and education. In addition, NavPress has created www.solopinkedition.com, a site dedicated to supporting and encouraging people dealing with breast cancer. The site offers videos, ecards, and space to record personal stories.

To help increase Solo [Pink Edition]'s effectiveness, NavPress is partnering with CBA (formerly the Christian Booksellers Association) in a Christian retail channel exclusive and with Dave Dravecky's Outreach of Hope on a Scripture ministry distribution.

Senior Editor Rebekah Guzman will serve as NavPress Editorial Director effective immediately. In her new role, Guzman will oversee the editorial team as well as continue to manage the TH1NK student line.

Guzman has been at NavPress for three years and has worked as an editor for almost 10 years, specializing in student and women’s resources, including Bible studies, young adult fiction, and curriculum.

Guzman will work directly with the trade and direct publishers on diversifying NavPress’ trade and direct lists, and determining which titles to acquire and develop. “NavPress is looking for content that is biblical, relevant, and practical,” Guzman said. “Our mission is to help people connect relationally with Jesus and live as His followers in their spheres of influence. We look forward to publishing more life-changing resources in the future.”
