CSS Publishing Acquires FaithWalk Publishing*
In a move to broaden its growing presence in the ecumenical Christian book market, CSS Publishing has acquired FaithWalk Publishing.
Based in Grand Haven, Michigan, FaithWalk Publishing has a diverse list of Christian Living, Church Leadership and Fiction titles. Founded in 2002 its forty title list includes popular fiction titles by authors Diane and David Munson, books on discipleship by Glenn McDonald and the forthcoming “For Skeptics” series set to release in late 2008. Founder and publisher Dirk Wierenga is joining CSS as acquisitions editor.
CSS Publishing, based in Lima, Ohio, is the leading publisher of lectionary, seasonal and non-seasonal resources in the areas of church leadership, preaching, worship and children’s ministry, as well as other areas of Christian publishing. It is also publisher of Sermon Suite, the most comprehensive on-line source of sermon materials.
According to CSS president Wesley T. Runk, “the acquisition of FaithWalk provides us access to additional Christian markets. We are looking forward to a time of dynamic growth in all aspects of our business.”
Growing Up Moffett is published by Faithwalk Publishing. It will now be marketed and carried by CSS, but still under the Faithwalk imprint. (FYI. The book remains available in bookstores and online at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, etc.) After reading the press release, only one thought came to mind—to think the publishers are still excited about the possibility of book two and all the fundamentalist fun it will contain. Such an odd world we live in these days…
