Bookmasters-webBookmasters has signed new distribution agreements with three Christian publishing groups, the Christian Board of Publication/Chalice Press, Somersault Group and Generations with Vision.

“We are thrilled to welcome these publishers into the Bookmasters family,” said Ken Fultz, general manager at Bookmasters. “While each publisher specializes in their own unique content, the quality of each publisher’s work stands on its own and complements the work of Bookmasters’ growing group of exceptional publishers.”

The Christian Board of Publication and its Chalice Press imprint make up the publishing arm of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Chalice Press publishes titles that promote the benefits of Christian faith and spirituality, social justice, congregational life, theology and tools for outdoor ministry.

Somersault Group partners with several leading global Christian publishers and ministries, including Focus on the Family, Zondervan, Compassion International and Faithlife (formerly Logos Bible Software). Bookmasters will provide worldwide distribution to both the Christian and secular markets for titles from a select group of Somersault’s publishing partners, beginning with Webster Publishing.

The publishing arm of Generations with Vision evolved from an AM radio station program that began in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2003. Today, Generations with Vision publishes faith-based homeschooling curriculum, educational study guides and audio materials for children and adults. Bookmasters will provide worldwide distribution for all of Generation with Vision’s titles to the Christian and secular markets.

Based in Ashland, Ohio, Bookmasters is one of the largest integrated providers of publisher services.
