LOS
ANGELES, Calif. (April 14, 2015) –
World-renowned speaker and best-selling author
John Bevere has never been as passionate about a message as he is about
his upcoming book, “Good or God?: Why Good Without God Isn’t Enough.”
Bevere
has penned more than 20 titles now translated in over 90 languages,
with millions sold worldwide. His newest release hits shelves August 11,
2015 (Messenger International). The book centers
on one simple question: is good enough?
“In these times the terms
good and God are seemingly synonymous,” Bevere says. “We
believe that what is generally accepted as good must be aligned with
God’s will. Generosity, humility, and justice are good. Selfishness,
arrogance, and cruelty are evil. The distinction
seems pretty straightforward. But is that all there is to it? Sadly,
many of us have settled for the knockoff. We’ve unknowingly (and at
times knowingly) rejected God in pursuit of what’s apparently good.”
Bevere
is known around the world for his boldness, passion, and the
uncompromising truth in his award-winning curriculums and best-selling
books. He brings this trademark fervor to a new
and fresh message in the pages of “Good or God?” This book provides
practical insight challenging the belief that the Christian life is
merely a set of rules to be adhered to and bringing new perspective to
those who believe “good” behavior is the ultimate
standard for pleasing God.
“It’s
more than a message,” Bevere says. “It’s a charge to embrace a
life far better than the one we’ve known and settled for and discover a
way of living that is beyond our greatest dreams.”
“Good or God?” has already garnered endorsements from a number of high-profile influencers including Mark Batterson (New York Times best-selling author of “The Circle Maker”), Joyce
Meyer (Bible teacher and New York Times best-selling author), John C. Maxwell (New York Times best-selling author and speaker), Bishop T. D. Jakes (CEO of TDJ Enterprises and
New York Times best-selling author), Matthew Barnett (senior
pastor of Angelus Temple, Los Angeles, Calif., and cofounder of the
Dream Center), and others.
Through
an exploding social media and web platform, Bevere engages a wide and
diverse following. In conjunction with the release of “Good or God?,”
Messenger International will launch
a revolutionary social media movement (#GoodOrGod), calling people to
embrace a way of life far better than what they’ve known. Bevere will
also embark on a national/international book tour in June 2015. The tour
will include over fifty stops in over 20 states
and seven countries and will extend through spring 2016.
John
Bevere and his wife Lisa are the founders of Messenger International. A
minister and best-selling author, John delivers messages of
uncompromising truth with boldness and passion.
His desire is to support the local church and resource leaders
regardless of location, language, or financial position. To this end,
his resources have been translated into over 90 languages, and millions
of copies have been given away to pastors and leaders
worldwide. Some of his greatest works include "The Bait of Satan,"
"Drawing Near" and "Driven by Eternity." When he’s home, John tries to
convince Lisa to take up golf and spends time with his four sons,
daughter-in-law, and grandbabies.
