Dernier Publishing Change of Distribution

Dernier Publishing Change of Distribution

This post is for everyone who wishes to support  Christian bookshops in our towns and cities - and of course, the retailers themselves!

 

Most of you know that Dernier books have hitherto been distributed by Kingsway. We are grateful for all Kingsway have done for us, and for their fun and friendship too, but now we are hoping to forge closer ties with bookshops, by taking on the distribution within the Christian trade ourselves.

It's a big new venture for us, and I'd be most grateful for your prayers (and patience when we get it wrong!).

As you know, we are passionate about bringing the 'message in a story' to as many young people as we can, and look forward to working with Christian bookshops. We very much appreciate that nobody knows their customers' needs better than they do - they all  know their local schools, churches and communities better than we do, too!

I have met so many adults for whom reading Christian books as children made a huge impact on their life, that I am convinced that we must offer our children the same opportunity.

The one sector where print books is growing is the children's and young adults' market. Since Harry Potter smashed his way into the book records, kids have been reading again in droves, voraciously. Unfortunately, much of what is available now isn't necessarily helpful. There are plenty of novels with an atheistic viewpoint and many stories which have incited interest in the occult and witchcraft, violence, materialism and worldly relationships, but what about books where the Lord is God, where faith in the Lord Jesus Christ matters, where people pray and read the Bible?

We need to make sure that our children have this great alternative! We have mystery adventures for 8-11s, exciting dramas, girlie books for 10-14s, books set in Africa and Canada . . . and more! Some have an overt message, some more subtle, but all our books have the aim of encouraging and inspiring 8-16 year-olds in the Christian faith.

Please do consider stocking our books (or going into your local Christian bookshop and asking for Dernier books!)  and promoting them as widely as you can to your churches and schools, too. We would love to be able to help you reach as many young people in your communities as possible with the 'message in a story'.

If there's anything we can do to help you, please do not hesitate to contact us. Together, I believe we can make a difference.

Testimonials

“One lady who lives 17 miles away from church, came on Sunday. She came because she had read her son's book. She talked to the preacher after the service, and gave her heart to the Lord.”

 “It's now several weeks since we presented the books to our children in Kidz Church. I asked how they were getting on with them. They were very enthusiastic and have been swapping them round when they've finished their own. Most of these kids are reluctant readers, too.”

 “This is the best book I've ever read.” (We have lots of these!!!)

 “Another brilliant adventure! I really liked the new characters and stories. It taught me that when I'm feeling down, God is trying to show me how to think about and help others, which will make me feel better again. If we stop to listen to Him, he will show us the way.”

Thank you for reading this - may the Lord bless you all :-)
