Running through Labor Day, Sept. 6, the show is hosted by Christian Retailing magazine, aiming to help stores set themselves for the fall and Christmas seasons with product news, order specials and training. It is the magazine's fourth virtual trade event since debuting the innovative program following last year's ICRS.

Affiliated with Sacramento, Calif.-based African American Expressions, Charis Gifts' products highlighted include Grandiflora Magnolia and Peacock Feathers Bible organizers; Unfailing Love 4 Doves and Daddy's Girl figurines; Prayer Changes Things and You & Me photo frames; Too Blessed and It's All Good tote bags; Queen and Vineyard Welcome journals; Peace Wall Plaque; and Trust In The Lord II and This Is The Day II stone plaques.

More than 30 suppliers--including Thomas Nelson,Tyndale House Publishers, Baker Publishing Group and David C. Cook--had signed up to participate in the Virtual Christian Retailing Show, with their "booths" presenting details of key new and recent releases and offering links for ordering and catalogs.

Additional features include Christian Retailing editors hosting roundtable discussions with suppliers and retailers on trends, including movies and DVDs. "Is God Just a Human Invention?," a free Webinar with authors Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow, is scheduled for Aug. 2. Access to the online event is free, with visiting retailers also eligible for a drawing to win an Apple iPad.

Last year's first Virtual Christian Retailing Show attracted more than 5,500 unique visitors from more than 70 countries.
