SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark., June 29, 2022 /Standard Newswire/ -- DaySpring, the world's largest Christian social expression company and a subsidiary of Hallmark, celebrates four book titles reaching 100,000 in sales and is being recognized by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) with four Bronze Milestone Sales Awards.
The DaySpring books being honored by the ECPA include the One Step Closer Bible in partnership with Candace Cameron Bure, 100 Days of Bible Promises by Shanna Noel, 100 Days of Believing Bigger by Marshawn Evans Daniels, and the DaySpring devotional gift book Sweet Tea for the Soul.
DaySpring's President James Barnett expressed his excitement at receiving these prestigious awards following the recent addition of more traditional style books to their product line.
"It was just over four years ago that DaySpring intensified our publishing business, so to have multiple titles reach this 100,000 unit sales level is a real testament to the great internal team we have and the amazing authors who have partnered with us," says Barnett. "In addition to the significant sales achievement, the Biblical message in each of our products is very important to us. We are grateful and encouraged that this publishing achievement means the Gospel is being proclaimed in significant ways."
Barnett joined DaySpring in 1981, holding key positions in sales and marketing before becoming its leader in 1994. During his tenure, he has led the growth of the DaySpring organization from a small partnership to a thriving multi-national corporation. Today, DaySpring offers more than 6,000 products—from greeting cards to home décor, specialty gifts to devotional and gift books.
"Marshawn, Candace, and Shanna are important members of our DaySpring family," continued Barnett, "and we are pleased for them. The messages in their books are very impactful to our consumers."
