NavPress launched its Book Deal for independent Christian retailers with tremendous success. As of the first week of January, more than 11,900 units of the preselected titles have sold.

"This is a fantastic response at an incredible opportunity for the independent retailer," says Eric Helus, NavPress Sales Manager. "We are blessed to be able to offer such a program that helps get life-changing product into the hands of our trade partners. We know the authors of the books included in this program have had an impact on many lives through their writings, and we're excited that many new readers will be exposed to the transforming power of the Gospel."

Beginning in January and continuing every other month through December 2010, independent Christian stores can purchase that month's preselected title at a reduced price. Every book in the program is a NavPress top seller by a well-known author.

The lineup includes The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges (January), Living the Resurrection by Eugene H. Peterson (March), Becoming a Woman of Excellence by Cynthia Heald (May), Dark Blue by Melody Carlson (July), Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow (September), and Abba's Child by Brennan Manning (December).
