For immediate release:<\/strong>\u00a0 Popular Bloggers Ink Deal for Activist Faith<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

July 9, 2012\u2014Popular bloggers and authors Dillon Burroughs<\/a> (Undefending Christianity<\/em>), Daniel Darling<\/a> (Real<\/em>, iFaith<\/em>), and Dan King<\/a> (The Unlikely Missionary<\/em>) have signed a new deal with Navpress<\/a>, it was announced today by agent Tamela Hancock Murray of The Steve Laube Literary Agency<\/a>, who negotiated the groundbreaking deal. The book, with the working title Activist Faith: Changed Lives Changing the World<\/em>, is scheduled for release in July 2013.<\/p>\n

Burroughs described the partnership as \u201ca dream come true for us and our supporters,\u201d and reported he was excited to work with Navpress, one of the premier publishers serving the millennial generation, whose works includes Eugene Peterson\u2019s The Message <\/em>and Greg Laurie\u2019s Lost Son<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis team is changing lives all over the world through their creative online efforts,\u201d Murray said, noting the growing popularity of ActivistFaith.org<\/a>, with its exploding social media and online fan base.<\/p>\n

Darling\u2019s columns and guest posts have been read everywhere from Relevant Magazine <\/em>to michaelhyatt.com <\/em>to The Washington Post<\/em>\u2019s \u201cOn Faith\u201d column, in addition to his ongoing contributions to outlets like Crosswalk.com<\/a>. King\u2019s popular BibleDude.net<\/a> portal reaches thousands of 20-somethings each month, furthering his efforts through his social media work for TheHighCalling.org<\/a> and HELPOneNow.com<\/a>. Burroughs blogs daily for Beliefnet.com<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest spirituality website, and posts thoughts on his handwritten Bible project at HolyWritProject.com<\/a>, hosted by the world\u2019s top religion website, Patheos.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to help everyday people live out what they believe on today\u2019s important social issues,\u201d explains Dan King. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned most Christians really long to make a difference. They just need help connecting with efforts where they can make an impact. Activist Faith <\/em>is our attempt to serve as a bridge for this growing need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a pastor, my heart is to encourage people to serve,\u201d shares Darling. \u201cActivist Faith <\/em>helps extend this effort to \u2018equip everyday activists\u2019 who share Christ\u2019s love through practical actions, reaching across the street and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

With tens of thousands of followers already clicking, tweeting, and sharing their daily inspirations, Activist Faith <\/em>may launch a new type of book that serves as one piece of a larger \u201cfaith in action\u201d movement for the next generation of Christians.<\/p>\n
