Filming has began in Oahu and Kauai, Hawaii on the inspirational life story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, a Christian who, at age 13, had her left arm bitten off by a tiger shark in October 2003.
Christian suppliers, retailers and music artists continue to send relief help to disaster victims in Haiti, which was struck Jan. 12 by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, causing thousands of casualties.
The changing market provides great opportunities for Christian suppliers and retailers ready to adapt to the shifting needs of the consumer.
Not surprisingly, most people in the Christian products industry predict a big shift to digital books in the next two to three years--but they have markedly different levels of participation and preparedness.
