Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way

What if living boldly for Christ meant breaking the rules of this world? Are you ready to follow Jesus like never before as you to chase Him boldly and fearlessly? It's time to answer your call to an unshakable faith and a greater purpose.

Jesus didn't follow the crowd—He challenged the status quo, broke through barriers, and chose love over comfort, even when it meant standing alone. As His followers, we're called to walk that same courageous path: to stand out, love boldly, and embrace a faith that isn't afraid to shake things up for what matters.

Rebel isn't a book about rebellion for rebellion's sake—it's a practical guide for stepping out of the shadows and living boldly for Christ, especially when the world doesn't understand or even pushes back.

Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or have traveled it for years, GRAMMY-nominated singer and bestselling author Anne Wilson invites you to rebel against fear, doubt, and everything that keeps you from the fullness of Christ. You'll be inspired to:

Follow Jesus by standing out, not blending in.
Stay strong through opposition and ridicule.
Choose obedience and passion in everyday moments.
Step past your comfort zone and shine your faith.
Pursue greater adventures with Jesus by your side.
Each chapter starts with a story from Scripture, where Jesus broke boundaries to reach the forgotten and the lost. Anne candidly shares her own struggles and victories, urging you to break the mold and find real freedom in following Jesus, no matter the challenge.

Anne's hit song REBEL inspired millions to break free from the ordinary and pursue something greater. Now, her book goes deeper, showing you how to walk fearlessly with Jesus every day.

Singer/songwriter Anne Wilson knows the healing power of music firsthand. The lyrics of Hillsong Worship’s “What A Beautiful Name” became a lifeline for the Lexington, Kentucky native after her brother was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 23. Although she spent much of her childhood behind a piano, Wilson sang in front of an audience for the first time at her brother’s funeral. It was at that moment that she realized what she was born to do. A video of her moving performance organically circulated, eventually landing her a record deal. With a mesmerizing voice and a visible hunger for Jesus, the 20-year-old relies on personal journal entries and time spent in nature for songwriting inspiration.

Wilson’s introductory track, “My Jesus”—which she co-wrote with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West—is a warm invitation to experience her Savior in the same intimate way she knows Him. She released a debut three-track single—also titled My Jesus—for Capitol Christian Music Group in early 2021 and followed it up with a live EP, My Jesus (Live in Nashville). Her song, “My Jesus,” charted on the Spotify Viral 50, Shazam Top 200, and Rolling Stone Top 25 Trending charts. Her story was also featured with the Religion News Service and The Washington Post. She made her Opry debut on the iconic stage in September 2021. Wilson was featured in Billboard Magazine as the October 2021 Chartbreaker artist.
