Riggins Rights Management celebrates 20th anniversary as Paul Hendrickson joins board

June 26, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

June 2023 marks twenty years since Riggins Rights Management began serving the Christian publishing community.

The company was started by Cindy Riggins in 2003 after ten years as Rights Director at Thomas Nelson. Her goal was to help other companies proactively market their subsidiary rights, link publishers acquiring rights to client copyright holders, then properly manage the full rights process and compliance.

The company first began representing Integrity Publishers, then Abingdon Press and AMG soon followed. Through the years, they have represented over thirty clients, with 24 current clients.  They represent a broad Christian theological spectrum from Evangelical to Mainline Protestant, Messianic Jewish, and Catholic…a mosaic of inspirational content within the Christian faith.  Several clients (Abingdon, AMG, B&H, New Growth Press, Iron Stream Media, No Greater Joy, Upper Room, and Warner Christian Resources) have remained clients for over fifteen years. Their full client list is available at www.rigginsrights.com.

But what is most important is the results.  Clients have expanded their global reach through rights sales, licensing partners around the world have great products in their own language or format, and millions of lives have been reached through the products.  In fact, Riggins Rights Management has issued over 8,500 agreements in 75 languages, resulting in 10+ million products distributed and possibly impacting 20+ million lives around the world.

The company has grown to become a global team that provides over 100 years of combined rights experience. Four of the team are US-based and two team members live outside the US; one covers Europe from Ukraine and another covers Africa and Latin America from Brazil. If you would like to evaluate if they can be of service to your company, contact Cindy Riggins at cindy@rigginsrights.com

In addition to industry veteran Carolyn Weidmayer, Paul Hendrickson joined the Riggins Rights Management Board of Directors this month. Paul has worked with Riggins Rights Management as a client and a licensee, so understands their business well.  Paul served as the general manager of the Hendrickson Publishing Group (HPG), which included the Rose Publishing imprint, from 2013 to 2023. HPG is noted for original biblical language materials, academic reference titles, and a wide variety of Bible products. Paul also served as director of new business development for Christian Book Distributors, LLC, the largest internet and catalog retailer of exclusively Christian products. Paul has held numerous board positions including serving on the Board of Directors for the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. Prior to the Christian publishing industry, Paul was a managing partner of Creative Information Concepts (CIC), an international management consulting company, for over 25 years.

Riggins Rights Management serves as the rights department for over 20 Christian publishers. They are a “business-to-business” service linking inspirational copyright owners and publishers acquiring rights for publication in different formats or languages, then managing the full licensing and compliance process. They have issued over 8,500 agreements in 75 languages, resulting in 10+ million products distributed and possibly impacting 20+ million lives around the world.

Reformed Free Publishing releases new HH book on the Apostles’ Creed

June 26, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

“I Believe: Sermons on the Apostles’ Creed,” announced on Friday, June 23, is the newest release from the RFPA. The book is a compilation of sermons from Herman Hoeksema that were delivered via the Reformed Witness Hour in the 1950s. Hoeksema (1886–1965), who wrote prolifically during his time as a Christian Reformed and then Protestant Reformed pastor in Grand Rapids, MI, is one of the more well-known RFPA authors in Reformed circles, noted for his expositions on covenant theology (Sin and Grace) and eschatology (Behold! He Cometh).

This collection of sermons is an excellent introduction to a Reformed understanding of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. According to book coordinator Marco Barone, who wrote the introduction for the work, “The sermons in this book are more than theological expositions of the doctrines of the Apostles’ Creed. Hoeksema offers insightful, practical applications that flow from the truths of the Creed.”

The Apostles’ Creed declares truths that transcend time and space, uniting all of Christ’s saints from past, present, and future. Both the Creed’s doctrines and practical implications are crucially important—not only to the individual Christian—but also to the church as a whole. By expounding the Apostles’ Creed, Hoeksema demonstrates that its truths are not empty propositions but living declarations pointing to the Christian’s only hope and comfort in life and death—the triune God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I Believe precedes a current RFPA project to republish a number of Hoeksema’s most popular works, including Voice of Our Fathers, The Triple Knowledge, and When I Survey.

“Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy” by pastor Mark Vroegop surpasses 100,000 units in sales with Crossway

June 26, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

June 23, 2023, WHEATON, Ill.—Crossway is pleased to announce that pastor Mark Vroegop’s Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament (Crossway, March 2019) has surpassed 100,000 units in sales.

Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy explores how the Bible—through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations—gives voice to our pain. This book invites readers to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of life. Drawing on examples from the Bible and his own story of loss, Vroegop walks through the steps of lament (Turn, Complain, Ask, and Trust) to show what lament is, why it is important, and how to enter into it.

“I don’t think many people would have predicted that a book on lament could become a bestseller,” writes Justin Taylor, Crossway’s executive vice president of book publishing, book publisher. “Even though the world regularly laments, we needed instruction from a seasoned pastor and a careful student of the word like Mark Vroegop to teach us about biblical lament: a God-given liturgy for prayerfully processing pain in order to trust and rejoice in God. We thank God for this book and pray that he will continue to bless it and use it in the lives of God’s people.”

Vroegop writes: “When the circumstances of life create dark clouds, I hope you’ll come to embrace lament as a divinely given liturgy leading you to mercy. This historic song gives you permission to vocalize your pain as it moves you toward God-centered worship and trust. Lament is how you live between the poles of a hard life and trusting in God’s sovereignty.”

Winner of the 2020 Christian Book of the Year by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA), Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy is available in print, electronic, and audio formats.

Mark Vroegop (MDiv, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary) is the lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis and the author of Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament and Weep with Me: How Lament Opens a Door for Racial Reconciliation. He’s married to Sarah, and they have four children and three daughters-in-law.  markvroegop.com  @MarkVroegop

Gini added, ‘This is what Cleere and I prayed for.'”

“10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity” by Rebecca McLaughlin surpasses 100,000 in sales with Crossway

June 12, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

June 9, 2023, WHEATON, Ill.—Crossway is pleased to announce that 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity by Rebecca McLaughlin (Crossway, March 2021) has surpassed 100,000 units in sales.

In 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity, Rebecca McLaughlin helps teens see that what look like roadblocks to the Christian faith might actually be signposts. “I want to suggest that following Jesus doesn’t only give us a way to live our best life forever after we die,” writes McLaughlin. “It also—in some unexpected ways—means living our best life together now. Don’t get me wrong. Jesus said that following him would be hard. Really hard. He said it would be like dying to yourself. But he also promised that it was the way to really live: ‘I have come that they may have life,’ he said, ‘and have it abundantly’ (John 10:10).”

Backed by state-of-the-art research, personal stories, illustrations from popular literature and movies, and careful biblical study, this book doesn’t dodge tough questions. Instead, it invites teenagers to ask their hardest questions about Christianity and to find surprising, life-giving answers.

“We give thanks to God for Rebecca McLaughlin and this wonderful book,” writes Justin Taylor, Crossway’s executive vice president of book publishing. “One of the reasons that Crossway exists is to help equip the next generation to embrace the Christian faith in all of its fullness, and we are so grateful to see how the Lord is putting this book into the hands of teenagers to help them see that there are clear and compelling answers to the hardest questions.”

Rebecca McLaughlin (PhD, Cambridge University) is the author of Confronting Christianity, named Christianity Today’s 2020 Beautiful Orthodoxy Book of the Year. Her subsequent works include 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity; The Secular Creed; and Jesus through the Eyes of Women.

Founded in 1938, Crossway is a not-for-profit global Christian publishing ministry that publishes gospel-centered, Bible-based content to honor our Savior and serve his church. Crossway seeks to help people understand the all-encompassing implications of the gospel and the truth of God’s word—for all of life, for all eternity, and for the glory of God alone.

Focus on the Family and NavPress announce Fall 2023 Kids releases

June 12, 2023 by Sheri Toomb

Carol Stream, Ill. (June 9, 2023)—Focus on the Family and NavPress, in alliance with Tyndale House Publishers, will release five new kids and middle-grade books in the fall of 2023. The new products—Otter B Friendly, Smoke in the Air!, The Second Storm, Heart of Belonging, and Big Feelings Days—equip parents to raise their children with thriving faith.

From Focus on the Family:

Otter B Friendly
Otter B #12
Otter B Friendly is the twelfth in a series of children’s books that teach young children basic biblical values. In this story, Otter B learns how to make friends with someone who seems different from him. When a new family moves to the neighborhood, Otter B isn’t quite sure what to think. This book explores how Otter B and his buddies make friends with their new neighbor. Each book in the series ends with a rhyme that reinforces the lesson and includes an appropriate Bible verse.

Smoke in the Air!
Magnificent Mulligans #3
Still used to life on the streets, Hector is having a hard time fitting in at school, unless you count regular fights with other boys as “fitting in.” But now he’s got a few friends who seem willing to accept him . . . if he can prove he belongs. But the actions of this gang may prove perilous for the Mulligan Wild Animal Park. While this is unfolding, Janelle is learning to extend grace to the girl who plays her sister in the school musical: the snobby, super-rich Chloe Richardson. But now a message from home informs Janelle that she’ll need to spend even more time with Chloe. Meanwhile, back at the animal park, the rest of the Mulligans are dealing with one emergency after another when a wildfire breaks out in the grasslands of the park. Many of the animals need to be evacuated to another location. The Mulligans must work together to make sure everyone gets home safely.

The Second Storm
High Water #4
The Second Storm is the fourth book in the High Water series. It blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure. A Category 5 hurricane is heading for southern Florida, and Parker Buckman’s friend Wilson Stillwaters is caught in its crosshairs. It’s going to be bad, and Wilson will need help. But that means going back to the Everglades—a place filled with some bad memories. Angelica will do anything she can to get her friend Parker back home safely. What she doesn’t realize is the real threat—the second storm—is threatening to be far deadlier for Parker and his friends than the hurricane. The storm has allowed Clayton Kingman to escape from prison, and he has a big surprise in store for the group, one he intends to deliver personally.

Heart of Belonging
Riverbend Friends #6
Heart of Belonging is the sixth book in a series that travels alongside four friends as they deal with teen life in Riverbend, Indiana. The novel inspires young women to deepen their relationships with God as they face real-life issues and solve their problems in God-honoring ways. Shay desperately longs to feel loved—to be part of a real family. She thought that finally meeting her real father, a famous horse trainer, might change her life for the better. And it did. Sort of. She’s more inspired to work with horses now, but a “normal” family—like her friends talk about—doesn’t seem like it’s in her future. Living with her aunt and working with horses every day doesn’t seem to give her the love and acceptance that she desires. So Shay finds herself seeking acceptance elsewhere—on the Internet, looking at stuff she doesn’t think she can ever tell anyone about. She’s ashamed of where this takes her, and she suspects her friends, especially Izzy, would reject her if they found out. This book explores whether Shay can begin to recognize the blessings she already has—that God’s true love, the acceptance of her friends, and the kindness of her aunt are enough.

From NavPress:

Big Feelings Days
Speaker, pastor, podcaster, and author of The Louder Song, Aubrey Sampson has dealt with a lot of big feelings and heartache in her life and has written about lament for a grown-up audience. Knowing that adults don’t have a monopoly on strong, difficult emotions, Aubrey turns to writing about feelings for children in Big Feelings Days. Children have a lot of emotions too, and feeling sad or angry or brokenhearted can be overwhelming. Sampson helps kids understand that their feelings are valuable and normal—and that they can creatively express what they feel to Jesus, who created emotions and deeply cares about every one. Big Feelings Days is a tender and engaging picture book that helps children ages 3–7 learn how to release their feelings of grief, anger, and heartbreak in creative ways to a God who cares.

Otter B Friendly | ISBN: 978-1-64607-043-5 | Hardcover: $12.99 | October 2023
