New Releases - July 6 - 11

Dear Readers,

I had a chance a couple of weeks ago to spend time with loads of people who are working very hard to make sure that not only does Christian retail stores and publishing continue, but thrive.  ICRS is the yearly convention of the Christian Retail Association and this year it was my privilege to go.

Not only was it a chance to meet authors I also spent time talking to editors and fellow retailers.  It was a time to learn what others are doing and to maybe even get some new ideas of what to do to keep our store fresh and exciting.

I have to admit that none of the authors on my list below where at the convention, but Zachary Bartels was in our store last week and that is almost the same. :-D

Happy Reading,
