Christian Powerhouses Partnering on Three Book Publishing Deal
SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark., Nov. 8, 2022 — DaySpring, the world’s largest Christian-message product provider, and Pray.com, the world’s number one app for daily prayer and faith-based content, announce a new publishing partnership beginning in 2023 for three book projects.
Based on the most popular downloads within the Pray.com app, these books will feature the “best of” content which has now reached over 12-million users worldwide. Each is a collection of stories, devotions, Bible verses, and practical tools for everyday Christian living.
The first book will be released in May and is called Sleep Psalms: Nightly Moments of Mindfulness and Rest. This partnership will be an opportunity for Pray.com users to experience the content they love in a fresh new way while introducing DaySpring’s core audience to the Pray.com brand and message.
