NavPress, the publishing arm of the U.S.-based The Navigators, had said that it prematurely announced that Thomas Nelson will sell "The Navigator Reference Library" on its behalf. Although the companies have been in talks for several months about the project, the agreement has not been finalized.

The titles in the library are The Complete Book of Discipleship by Bill Hull, Dictionary of Everyday Theology and Culture by Bruce Demarest and Keith J. Matthews (January 2010) and Handbook for Personal Bible Study by William W. Klein.

The previously announced partnership for the distribution of select Thomas Nelson Bible Group products to the direct-to-church and direct-to-consumer audiences on a non-exclusive basis is in full swing. Nelson's Bible study titles carried by NavPress include the DVD-based 3:16, Come Thirsty and Liquid products as well as guides such as Calvin Miller's "Fruit of the Spirit" series, Charles Stanley's "Life Principles Study Series" and the "MacArthur Old Testament Study Guides."

An announcement on the new agreement will be made once it is finalized.
