Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group, is pleased to announce that they have signed a new two-book contract with New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin.

Releasing over the next few years, these two new books will focus on two very timely, and very personal, topics for Franklin. In the first book, Love Like You've Never Been Hurt: Hope, Healing and the Power of an Open Heart, he shares his own story of personal pain and shows readers how to find the strength, courage and motivation to love like they’ve never been hurt. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive?

Love Like You’ve Never Been Hurt will release on March 6, 2018 and will be promoted on Jentezen Franklin’s Kingdom Connection broadcast, which reaches as many as 2.3 billion viewers in 249 countries around the world.

Book two is slated for release in Fall 2019.
