GRAMMY Nominee Anne Wilson Declares Holy Rebellion: New Book “Rebel” Challenges Christians to Stand Out, Not Fit In
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In a world that constantly whispers “go along to get along,” platinum-selling artist Anne Wilson is shouting the opposite—and she’s written the manifesto to prove it. The GRAMMY-nominated singer and songwriter releases her third book today, “Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way” (W Publishing/Thomas Nelson), hot on the heels of her K-LOVE Fan Award-winning “Hey Girl” devotional and the smash success of her debut “My Jesus.” “Jesus changed my life when He showed me that following Him isn’t about fitting in, it’s about standing out for His kingdom,” Wilson declares. ” ‘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.” Blending raw personal stories with biblical insight, the book expands the message of her 16-track genre-defying album REBEL, offering practical applications and chapter-ending prayers for anyone ready to embrace a countercultural commitment to Christ.
The book launch arrives as Wilson rides a rocket of momentum, having just taken home the Book Impact Award at the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards for her “Hey Girl” devotional. And she’s not slowing down. Her nationwide The STARS Tour has just been extended into the fall with 24 additional dates across the West Coast, Midwest and South—on top of 30 previously announced shows—with special guests Peter Burton and Aodhán King joining select dates. With over 2 billion career streams, a GRAMMY nomination, multiple Dove Awards, and accolades from Spotify, CMT and Billboard, the woman People calls “one of contemporary Christian music’s most dynamic trailblazers” is proving that following Jesus with holy rebellion isn’t just inspiring—it’s packing arenas and topping charts. Tickets for the tour are available now at annewilsonofficial.com. The message is clear: in a world walking one way, Anne Wilson is leading the charge in the other.
