Anne Wilson is not just making music anymore - she is putting her faith on the page.

The 24-year-old Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter releases her third book, Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way, today, June 9, 2026. The release arrives in the middle of one of the busiest and most successful seasons of her career, as her nationwide The STARS Tour continues drawing crowds across the country.

Described as a rally cry for a generation, Rebel is poised to challenge readers to live an authentic, countercultural, and rebellious faith - one that runs against the grain of a world that increasingly pulls in the opposite direction.

Wilson is still becoming, still wrestling, and still rejoicing - and the book reflects that honesty. She is not presenting a polished, finished version of faith, but a lived-in one shaped by real loss, real doubt, and real joy.

That story began with grief. 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 choosing Jesus, defines her music and makes her profoundly relatable.

Alongside the book launch, Wilson is also extending The STARS Tour into the fall with 25 additional U.S. dates, adding to the previously announced 30-date run. The new leg spans the West Coast, Midwest, and South, with special guests Peter Burton and Aodhán King joining on select dates. Wilson said of the tour extension, "God has moved in such powerful ways during The STARS Tour this spring, and I'm beyond excited to announce that we're headed back out this fall to keep it going."

At just 24, Wilson has already crossed 2 billion streams, earned a Grammy nomination, and become one of the most distinctive voices in both Christian and country music. But today, it is her words off the stage that take center stage.

Rebel: Following Jesus When the World Walks the Other Way is available now wherever books are sold.
