You may have heard of Nelson Searcy's book Unshakable: Standing Strong When Things Go Wrong and even used it in your church for first-time guests. Now you have another brand new option for your guests, members, small groups, outreach and more!
Nelson's new book, Breakthrough: Discovering God's Power for Your Problems, is a follow-up to Unshakable. The focus of the Unshakable book is to give people, especially those returning to church for the first time, some immediate solutions to their problems. It’s a book that provides triage for immediate problems that we all face.
Breakthrough completes Unshakable in that instead of offering only short-term triage (which is needed and necessary when things first go wrong) for a handful of major problems, it offers long term solutions for any problem, large or small, and gives a biblical process for overcoming those problems for good and for God’s glory.
Unshakable is “problem-focused,” while Breakthrough is process-focused.
Use a personalized version of this book in your church to deepen your connection with your people!
BREAKTHROUGH IS IDEAL FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH CAMPAIGN AND SMALL GROUP USE!
Life’s problems are inevitable, yet they often catch us off guard and feel insurmountable. Here’s the good news that Nelson shares in Breakthrough: God is always ready and able to strengthen you in your struggles, guide you through your challenges, and draw you closer to Him.
Readers will explore critical areas for breakthrough, such as:
Prayer
Perspective
Peace
Promise Keeping
Purpose
Perseverance
And more!
You can use the book in your church as a spiritual growth campaign, just like Nelson's church, The Journey, used it when they launched Breakthrough. And you can make the book available to your Small Groups.
In fact, one of the bonuses you'll receive is a Small Group Syllabus and Study Guide for a 10-week group.
You'll also receive the 8-week Breakthrough Sermon Series as a free bonus — including all the message MP3s, message notes, message transcripts, series documents and series graphics!
Plan to launch Breakthrough on a Big Day and have everyone in the congregation receive a free copy to kick off the series and the new book!

Are you ready to help your people experience their breakthrough?
Breakthrough is primarily used as a free gift for first-time guests. But Nelson’s church, The Journey, has also used Breakthrough in a number of interesting ways.
Small Groups: The Journey launched Breakthrough as a spiritual growth campaign and made the book available to its Small Groups. A Small Group Syllabus and Study Guide for a 10-week group is available to you with the book.
Guests have shared it with family, friends and neighbors going through difficult times — it has become a powerful evangelism tool.
8-week Breakthrough Sermon Series — which you will receive as a free bonus when you do a co-authorship. You’ll receive all the message MP3s, message notes, message transcripts, series documents and series graphics! Launch Breakthrough on a Big Day and have everyone in the congregation receive a free copy to kick off the series and the new book.
You can also encourage first-time guests to stop by a Welcome Table to pick up their free copy of Breakthrough.
When you sign up for a co-authorship, we will work closely with you to create your very own personalized edition. Your book will feature:
Your name on the front cover, spine and back cover
Your bio on the back cover
Your church logo and website on the back cover
Your foreword inside the book on the first four pages
All the editing, proofing, design, set-up, scheduling, printing and shipping is included with your co-authorship investment. We even have an option available where we can write the foreword for you! We strive to make it as easy as possible for you!

For your custom book cover, we would just need the following files from you:
A high-resolution logo
A high-resolution photo
Short bio (about 55 words) – We will provide you with some previous sample bios that you can reference in setting up your own
Then, for your custom foreword — the real heart of your custom edition —the word count is about 850 - 950 words. The key is to make it personal — tell your story. We will work closely with you on your foreword. And we can now even write it for you, with your input of course. It's a very low investment.
The short answer is a resounding YES! We provide you with samples to guide the process and will work closely with you to edit your bio and foreword. All content is also reviewed and approved by Nelson himself and goes through our proofing process.
You also now have the option for us to write the personalized foreword for you! Your low $150 investment includes: A phone call interview with one of our writers, two rounds of edits to your foreword, and a guarantee that you will be happy with the final version — or you will NOT be charged!
Upon receipt of initial materials (logo, photo, bio, foreword), normal production times take between 6-8 weeks. That takes into account time for proof approvals throughout the process. However, we will confirm the schedule each time.
There is a minimum order of 500 books for each printing and Church Leader Insights will handle the printing of the book to ensure that its quality and integrity remains intact.
You can choose from 3 main options; all include free shipping:
OPTION A: 1,000 for $6 per book
OPTION B: 750 books for $7 per book
OPTION C: 500 books for $8 per book
Plus ask about options for higher quantities. Payment plans are available — we can split up payments as needed before the books go to production. We will work with you on the best arrangement for you!
Just two things — your desired launch date, and a $1,000 deposit. From there we will create a schedule and start working with you on your materials. Then you are on your way to your own personalized Breakthrough book!
The most common response I receive regarding a Breakthrough project is:
"I want to do it, but how do I pay for it?"
I've worked with dozens of churches to help them with this question, here are the most successful approaches:
- Cover it within existing areas of your budget. Breakthrough is an Assimilation and Evangelism tool, perhaps the finances exist in your current budget already and you simply redirect those funds to this project.
- Cover it through a "Buy One, Give One" challenge. Let your people know about the book and encourage them to "Buy One, Give One" — buy one for themselves and one for a future first-time guest for a total of $20. And then expand it to offer "Buy One, Give Two" for $30 or "Buy One, Give Four" for $50. Remind people that it's an investment in the future evangelism and outreach of the church.
- Approach one or a few people and ask them to each cover 100 copies. One person might cover all 500 or 1000 copies. Or ask a handful of people to each cover 250 copies.
- Add it to your special offering. Whether it's a Christmas Offering or another special offering, add in the Breakthrough project as an evangelism and assimilation investment that will make a difference for the next year.
- Get started with a case of regular Breakthrough books. First prove that they work as a "better" gift for your first-time guests and then work to get a custom version in next year's budget or special offering (see ideas above).
- Pay for it yourself. Not an option for most of us, but sometimes the Lord provides and you personally feel led to do it.
- Pray and ask God to show you - He will guide your steps and open up a door for pursuing this project. Trust me, I've seen this happen many times!
Big idea: Don't let finances keep you from pursuing this project if you feel it's right for you. God will provide!
I look forward to partnering with you,
Nelson
