Which InterVarsity Press Titles Could Best Serve Anglophone Africa?

𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝?
 
Following the recent ACREF 2025 (Thailand) and ECREF 2026 (Poland) that I attended, encouraging conversations are continuing around the possibility of making InterVarsity Press titles available for Anglophone Africa.
 
This is an exciting prospect, as the list speaks to many of the questions shaping faith, family, discipleship, and church life today.
 

Among the titles under discussion are:

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐙 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝 – helping the Church engage the honest questions of a rising generation.

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 – equipping parents and caregivers to raise children with wisdom, truth, and grace.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 (𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧) – offering practical habits for faithful daily living in a distracted world.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – helping younger readers build healthy spiritual rhythms for everyday life.

𝐀𝐈 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 – exploring how Christians and churches can think wisely about artificial intelligence and technology.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – reflecting on church life, community, and ministry in a changing world.

𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – strengthening believers in the essentials of the Christian faith.

𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – strengthening believers in the essentials of the Christian faith.

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – speaking into emotional health, spiritual maturity, and daily Christian living.

Together, these books touch on some of the most urgent areas for today’s readers: Gen Z, discipleship, family, emotional wellbeing, the future of the Church, and faithful Christian living in a fast-changing culture.
 
We are glad to see conversations growing around resources that could serve churches, families, leaders, and readers across Anglophone Africa.
