Book Nook - Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way

PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson releases her new book, “Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way,” available now via W Publishing, an imprint of Thomas Nelson. Following the success of her debut book, “My Jesus,” and her K-LOVE Fan Award-winning “Hey Girl” 40-Day Devotional, “Rebel” marks Wilson's third book and continues to expand the faith-forward storytelling that has resonated across her music, writing and live shows.   AVAILABLE NOW: “REBEL: FOLLOWING JESUS WHEN THE WORLD WALKS THE OTHER WAY”   "Jesus changed my life when He showed me that following Him isn't about fitting in, it's about standing out for His kingdom,” shares Wilson. “'Rebel' is an invitation to live with that kind of bold faith. My hope is that readers walk away inspired to trust God more deeply, love Him more fully and courageously follow Him wherever He leads."   “Rebel” explores what it means to live as a true follower of Jesus in a world that often pulls people in the opposite direction. Blending personal stories with biblical insight, Wilson offers a fresh perspective on living a life of purpose and conviction, even when it means looking like a rebel to the rest of the world. Inspired by Wilson's 16-track, genre blending album REBEL, the book further extends the message of the bold, uncompromising faith that has become central to her artistry. Providing practical applications and chapter-ending prayers, the book inspires a bold, countercultural commitment to Christ, appealing to both longtime believers and those exploring their faith.   The release arrives on the heels of Wilson recently taking home the Book Impact Award at the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards for her “Hey Girl” 40-Day Devotional. Created to help young women discover their true worth and unshakable identity in Christ, the devotional continues to make a meaningful impact with fans across the country.   Wilson recently extended her 2026 nationwide The STARS Tour into the fall with 24 additional dates across the U.S. The new leg adds to the previously announced 30 dates, bringing Wilson's live show to cities across the West Coast, Midwest, South and more. Special guests Peter Burton and Aodhán King are set to join on select dates. Tickets are available for purchase via annewilsonofficial.com.   With over 2 billion career streams, Wilson continues to cement herself as “one of contemporary Christian music's most dynamic trailblazers" (People). Building on the success of a GRAMMY nomination, multiple Dove Award wins and recognition from Spotify, CMT, Billboard and more, Wilson's next chapter promises to shine even brighter.

PRESS FOLDER

ABOUT ANNE WILSON: Anne Wilson makes music where faith and country meet, a rare space where honesty, grief and hope live side by side. At just 24, she has already crossed the 2 billion streams milestone and emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in both Christian and country music. Long before stepping onto a stage, Wilson dreamed of becoming an astronaut — a curiosity and sense of wonder that still shapes how she sees the world today.   Her third studio album, Stars, captures a young artist growing up on record. Shaped by the tragic loss of her brother Jacob, Wilson's faith could have been shattered — but instead it was strengthened. That tension, of wrestling with God yet still loving Jesus, defines her music and makes her profoundly relatable. “Faith isn't about never questioning,” she says. “It's about holding on in the middle of the storm.”   Stars threads together themes of grief, growth, maturity and wonder, carried by Wilson's soaring vocals and country-pop production. From the wide-eyed imagery of the title track to the raw prayer of “Carry Me” and the redemption arc of “Dead in the Water,” the album reflects both the hardship of loss and the joy of new perspective.   Alongside the album, Wilson will deliver her new music to fans in person on The STARS Tour throughout 2026. She also just released her third book, “Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way,” available now, which serves as a rally cry for a generation to live an authentic, countercultural and rebellious faith.    Anne Wilson is still becoming, still wrestling and still rejoicing — but Stars proves she's shining brighter not in spite of the struggle, but because of it.
