I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to you and to introduce to you our great new fall titles from Kregel Publications and from our publishing partners, Gilead Publishing, Muddy Pearl, and Instant Apostle. For those of you who have been in Christian retail for any length of time, it is extremely likely that we have met in the past. For those of you who are newer to this rapidly changing industry, welcome! I look forward to the possibility of meeting you in person. Over the last twenty-five years I have had the privilege of working in Christian publishing, with much of that time at Crossway in Wheaton, Illinois, in a variety of roles including executive vice president, chief operating officer, associate publisher, and vice president of sales and marketing. It is my joy to bring these experiences to work at Kregel as the new director of sales. In this role I will seek to grow the sales of Kregel Publications and our publishing partners by developing effective sales strategies and building and maintaining strong relationships with Kregel’s retail and distribution partners, thereby extending the reach and impact of our mission and ministry. Together we face difficult challenges in the world of Christian publishing and retail. It is only by God’s grace that together we will continue to impact lives for Christ, for eternity. Let us continue to lift each other up in prayer as we seek to be faithful to the Lord and to the ministries God has entrusted to us.
