New Bible storybook for kids releasing fall 2023 from The Good Book Company

February 6, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

CHARLOTTE, NC– The Good Book Company is excited to announce the upcoming release of God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook (The Good Book Company, September 2023).

This collection of 92 Bible stories is written by Carl Laferton, author of the bestselling book The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross (The Good Book Company, February 2016), and illustrated by Jennifer Davison, the artist behind the beloved kids’ book series Very Best Bible Stories (The Good Book Company).

Designed for reading aloud to kids from their earliest days, God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook contains vibrant and historically accurate illustrations as well as simple, faithful, kid-friendly retellings of Bible stories. Included are both familiar stories such as Noah’s  ark, David and Goliath, and Daniel and the lions’ den, along with lesser-known parts of the Bible like the golden calf, Joshua’s farewell, Isaiah, and Philip and the Ethiopian.

One of the unique features of the Bible Storybook are five themed paths to follow throughout, each one tracing one of God’s promises through Scripture. Readers can identify the promise being made and the promise being kept through memorable icons on the pages. This equips even very young readers to see that together, these 92 theologically faithful stories point to the one big story of the Bible: God making and keeping his promises to redeem his people.

Laferton, who serves as EVP Publishing at TGBC, says “From their youngest days, our kids need to hear the foundational stories of Scripture told faithfully as well as simply—and to see how they tell the big story of our promise-keeping God. My prayer is that young kids will grow up confident and excited that, through Jesus, God always keeps his promises.”

Reflecting on the decision to publish this new bible storybook, James Burstow, president of The Good Book Company, says, “A passion for God’s word is at the heart of everything we do at The Good Book Company and so we are thrilled to be launching this new Bible Storybook for younger children. So much prayer and careful thought has gone into the writing and illustration and now we can’t wait for families and churches around the world to start reading it together and rejoicing in our faithful, promise-keeping God!”

Parasource Marketing and Distribution Limited will close operations on May 31

February 6, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

Parasource Marketing and Distribution Limited located in Paris, Ontario, Canada, has had to make a very difficult decision to close operations on May 31, 2023.

Greg Tombs, President of Parasource said, “Following the pandemic, we have not seen the rebound that we would have expected on several fronts. The continued decline in CBA Bookstore numbers, along with a softening of the general market and only a partial direct-to-church volume rebound compared to 2019 levels, are the contributing factors. By contrast, our direct webstore, Parasource.com, is the one part of our business that has grown substantially over the past 2 years. It is our intention to find a buyer for our webstore and our strong on-line businesses.”

Parasource will continue operations to supply their customers – business as usual – through the Lent, Easter, Mother’s Day/Father’s Day periods.

“While having discussions with so many of our suppliers over the last week, it is clear that Parasource was widely respected and appreciated for the service we provided and the incredible staff we employed. I’m so very proud of our people and the way we have conducted our business over the years,” Greg added. “It was both our pleasure and calling to come alongside (para) and resource the Christian Community in Canada – as our name suggests.”

Two NavPress resources among 2022 top Disciplemaking books

February 6, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (February 2, 2023)— Every year, Discipleship.org compiles a list of the best books for disciplemaking published in the past year. This year, two NavPress titles were included in the list: Following Jesus: A Year of Disciplemaking and Movement-Building in the Gospels by Peter Roennfeldt and How to Save the World: Disciplemaking Made Simple by Alice Matagora.

“A great Bible study for a small group/discipleship group” is how Discipleship.org founder Bobby Harrington describes Peter Roennfeldt’s Following Jesus. Roennfeldt lives in Australia and trains Christians throughout the world in disciplemaking and church-planting movements. His book takes readers through five phases on display in the Gospels—from preparing people to be disciplemakers to multiplying leaders and ultimately galvanizing disciplemakers into a movement. Originally published in Australia, the fifty studies that make up the book are highly interactive with the goal of helping readers grasp a disciplemaking ethos and put it into practice.

How to Save the World is the debut book from Navigators leader Alice Matagora and draws on recent research conducted by The Navigators with the Barna Group. Ed Stetzer praises the book’s “honesty and humility,” while Navigators president Marvin Campbell calls it a “practical and holistic worldview of disciplemaking.” It made the list at Discipleship.org for being “practical, readable and helpful for those who desire to be more effective at disciple making.”

“We’re always grateful to see our releases resonate with friends such as the folks at Discipleship.org,” said NavPress publisher David Zimmerman. “The Great Commission call to make disciples is the privilege of every follower of Jesus, and a transformed world is its great promise. We’re proud to work with authors like Peter and Alice who help people find their way into this participation in God’s mission for us.”

Discipleship.org is a collaborative community of men and women committed to the discipleship lifestyle—being disciples of Jesus and making disciples of Jesus.

NavPress is the book publishing arm of The Navigators. With a rich catalog of bestselling books, ministry resources, and The Message® Bible, NavPress supports readers as they know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same.®  Since 2014 NavPress has been in a publishing alliance with Tyndale House Publishers, one of the largest independently owned Christian publishers in the world. NavPress resources are sold, distributed, and marketed worldwide through Tyndale House Publishers.

The Parable Group shares annual State of Christian Retail report for 2023

February 6, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

Agile Christian Retailers Have the Advantage

(February 2, 2023) – Today, the Parable Group released its 2023 State of Christian Retail report, providing data and insights into the current climate within the Christian retailing industry. The report, titled Agile Not Fragile, draws on over 3 billion rows of data from over 220 U.S. Christian bookstores—and represents over $84 million in sales data, 2.3 million consumer receipts, and nationwide survey results. Important industry findings are explored to help strengthen business and ministry in the year ahead.

The report highlights surprising key findings: In 2022, sales showed a slight decrease from 2021—but a significant increase when compared to 2019, indicating that stores are performing better than they were pre-pandemic. Overall, same-store sales were up 12% over 2019. Additionally, a January 2023 nationwide survey revealed that 83% of Christian retailers indicated a positive outlook for the future.

Other report highlights include an analysis of Q4 sales, comparisons of bestsellers across channels, leading trends in product categories, and an exploration of Christian retailers’ agility in the marketplace.

Despite three years since the start of the pandemic, Christian retailers faced pandemic-related challenges in 2022—namely inflation, labor shortages, and soaring gas prices. Retailers that beat the year’s challenges leaned heavily on their resourcefulness: 89% of survey responders answered that they adapted their Christian retail ministry to combat challenges in 2022. 56% of retailers adjusted their inventory mix; 52% increased their prices, and 40% increased their digital marketing to attract both new and existing customers.

Generally speaking, retailers across the country reported similar trends: the return of customers to in-store shopping led to stable, not stellar, sales compared to 2021; stores are hosting more in-person and community events again; and many customers are feeling a pinch in their pocketbooks as the price of goods continues to rise.

“While 2022 fell short of 2021’s banner numbers and record-breaking holiday season, Christian retailers continue to demonstrate their agility and resolve,” stated Greg Squires, President of The Parable Group. “The retail leaders in our industry are meeting customers’ needs by drawing on their purpose-driven drive, resilience, hard work, and resourcefulness—it’s inspiring work with great kingdom impact.”

The Parable Group helps Christian retailers, publishers, and ministries magnify their mission by connecting them to engaged Christian consumers, pastors, and church leaders.

Thomas Nelson and Jeremiah J. Johnston partner for the Peace of God Bible

January 29, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

A devotional reading Bible designed to give daily insight into the peace of God

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 2023 — Thomas Nelson, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, announces its partnership with author, pastor, and New Testament scholar Jeremiah J. Johnston, PhD, to release the NKJV Peace of God Bible. The project is scheduled for release in November 2024.

“If I were to describe the story of the Bible in a single word, I would use the word – peace,” says, Dr. Johnston, pastor of apologetics and cultural engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church. “The concept of living in the peace of God appears nearly 600 times in Scripture, even more frequently than faith, love, and grace. It is God’s will for every believer to experience His constant peace, to flourish moment-by-moment, even in the midst of adversity and affliction.”

A daily reading Bible with dated devotions, the Peace of God Bible offers insight into the peace God provides and teaches readers how they can experience it in their lives. It includes hundreds of notes and introductions to every book, highlighting this topic’s presence in the text.

 “I’ve known Jeremiah for several years and was excited to learn of the work he’s done to teach on this key biblical topic,” said Philip Nation, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Thomas Nelson. “This Bible will be an invaluable resource for generations because of Jeremiah’s ability to take the reader by the hand and teach them the discipline of God’s peace through the lens of the realities they face.”

Trusted by millions of believers around the world, the New King James Version (NKJV) is a bestselling modern “word-for-word” biblical translation. It balances the literary beauty and familiarity of the King James tradition with an extraordinary commitment to preserving the grammar and structure of the underlying biblical languages. While the translator’s relied on the traditional Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic text used by the translators of the 1611 King James Version (KJV), the comprehensive translator notes offer important insights about the latest developments in biblical manuscript studies.

Jeremiah J. Johnston, PhD, (MDX, Oxford, UK) is the author of several books including Unanswered, Unimaginable, and Unleashing Peace. He serves as an Associate Pastor of Apologetics & Cultural Engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, TX, and Dean of Spiritual Development at Prestonwood Christian Academy. Johnston also ministers internationally as the president of the Christian Thinkers Society.

Ellie Holcomb’s debut children’s book “Who Sang The First Song?” receives ECPA Bronze Award for 100,000 copies sold

January 27, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

Holcomb Finished 2022 Strong with her First Christmas Book, Sounding Joy, landing at No. 4 ECPA Christian Juvenile Bestsellers, Christmas 2022

NASHVILLE, TENN. (JANUARY 24, 2023) Author and singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb has achieved the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Bronze Award for selling more than 100,000 copies of her debut children’s book, Who Sang The First Song, (B&H Publishing, 2018). The book hit the ECPA juvenile bestseller list and was a finalist for the 2019 Christian Book Award in the children’s category.

Illustrated by Kayla Harren, Who Sang the First Song? is an engaging board book with whimsical art, where Holcomb asks a childlike question and answers with a lovely lyrical tale that shows young readers that God our Maker sang the first song and created us all with a song to sing.

Holcomb has also authored two additional children’s books, Don’t Forget To Remember, and most recently her Christmas book, Sounding Joy, which landed at No. 4 on ECPA’s Christian Juvenile Bestsellers, Christmas 2022 list. With each of these children’s releases, she has simultaneously released original music with their own EPs. She also won the GMA Dove Award for “Children’s Album of the Year” in 2020 for her album, Sing: Remembering Songs. In addition, she has released a bestselling devotional, Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness, which was released in 2021.

This year, she is kicking off the year with a new song, “Bones,” with her husband Drew Holcomb that was released this month. This precedes their “Drew & Ellie Residency Tour” that kicks off on February 9th hitting markets such as Atlanta, Dallas, New York City, Knoxville and Seattle. Tickets are on sale here.

About Ellie Holcomb:
For eight years, Ellie recorded and toured full-time with her husband’s band, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, before stepping off the road when her first child was born. Her solo debut, As Sure As The Sun (2014), landed her a Top 10 hit and a GMA Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year.” Her critically-acclaimed sophomore LP, Red Sea Road, followed in 2017. In subsequent years, Holcomb has released three children’s books – each with a companion EP of original music written specifically for kids. The second of which debuted at the top of the Billboard Kids chart and earned her a Dove Award for “Children’s Album of the Year,” in 2020. In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, Canyon, to much acclaim as well as earning her a second Top 10 radio single with the song, “I Will Carry You.” Her first adult book and devotional, Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness, has spent many months on the ECPA Bestseller list.

10Publishing announces exciting collaboration: Reformation Lightning is joining 10ofThose.com

January 27, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

Leyland, UK – From February 2023, Reformation Lightning, a growing publisher dedicated to Christian writing for young readers, will be owned and operated by 10ofThose’s publishing house, 10Publishing.

Founder of Ref Light, Jonathan Pountney believes this partnership will put more gospel-inspired fiction into young hands.

“Since its formation, our heart at Ref Light has been for young people to have access to quality stories that help them experience the truth and beauty of the gospel,” he said. “We’re delighted to be partnering with 10ofThose so this can be a reality for more kids around the world.”

Pountney, who holds a PhD in Literature and came into publishing on the back of an early career in academia, established the imprint after seeing a gap in the market. “Middle Grade and YA fiction is hugely popular. Walk into any chain bookstore and you’ll see shelves dedicated to the genre. We are missing something similar in the Christian trade space. Kids absorb so much of the world around then, why not let them absorb fictional worlds created with a biblical worldview?”

He continued, “The market is growing, which is exciting to see. We want to be at the heart of that growth and be flag-bearers for artistically robust and Christ-honouring creative writing.”

Reflecting on the future partnership, Jonathan Carswell, CEO of 10ofThose said, “10Publishing have a passion to reach a wide range of people with the good news of the gospel. To do that well we want to point to Jesus faithfully, but to do it with quality writing that engages, grips and leaves the reader coming back for more. That’s what we have liked about Reformation Lightning: They have built an imprint with those qualities—and that’s why we are delighted that we’ve been able to bring Reformation Lightning into 10Publishing and we hope we can expand the reach of their range.”

Ref Light’s ever-growing list of titles will be available to purchase from 10ofThose from February. The most notable recent additions are the Middle Grade adventure tale The Marble Curse by Emeritus Professor Richard Vincent, and The First Skyrider by H.R. Hess – the second instalment in the popular Young Adult fantasy series, the Callenlas Chronicles.

“Your children will want a shelf full of books like The First Skyrider,” Nate Morgan Locke, Creative Director of Speak Life, has said about the new release.

About 10ofThose
10ofThose is a publisher, distributor and retailer, and provides the bookstores for many major conferences. They are based in Leyland, UK and Louisville, KY.  Their publishing imprints include 10Publishing, Evangelical Press and Reformation Lightning.
