ASHLAND, Ohio (June 14, 2017) – Bookmasters, one of the largest providers of customized book publishing services in the United States, has signed new agreements with two Christian publishers to distribute their titles in the United States and abroad.

As part of the Faithlife Corporation (the makers of Logos Bible Software), Lexham Press seeks to increase biblical literacy, thoughtful Christian reflection, and faithful Christian action around the world through publishing. Lexham Press’s expanded partnership with Bookmasters made their complete list of titles available worldwide, excluding Great Britain and Europe, effective April 2017.

Today, they publish books and eBooks for small groups, individual study, and prayer, as well as producing Christian formation courses, leadership events, Spanish and bilingual resources, pamphlets, downloadable resources, a daily podcast, apps for smartphones and tablets, and online engagement opportunities. Forward Movement’s partnership with Bookmasters made their titles available worldwide effective April 2017.
