The Assemblies of God has signed a sales and distribution agreement with Bookmasters. Through this strategic partnership, the Assemblies aims to expand the reach of its major publishing imprints—Gospel Publishing House, Influence Resources and Life Publishers—in the Christian and general markets.

Choosing Bookmasters “because of their proven strength in the book market," Steve Blount, vice president of publishing for the Assemblies of God said: "With more than half of Christian books now being sold outside of traditional CBA sales channels, and thus more and more through the general book trade, we needed a sales and distribution partner that knows the business. And because Bookmasters offers an integrated suite of services, we can work with one company that meets many of our needs, from design and layout, to e-book distribution, to offset and digital printing."

Titles from the Assemblies—one of the largest Pentecostal denominations in the world—will be available through general book retailers and wholesalers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ingram, and Baker & Taylor, and through major Christian distributors, including Spring Arbor, STL Distribution and Anchor Distributors.
