Christmas-program-book-Carpenters-SonCarpenter’s Son Publishing, a publishing imprint of Christian Book Services, announced Wednesday the launch of a new series of holiday-oriented program books. The first in the series, a line of Christmas program books, is now available through major wholesale distributors.

Each series includes dramas, poems, quotes and readings related to the season. The books come in three versions, one each for kids, youth and adults. Each 64-page book retails for $8.99.

Larry Carpenter, president and CEO of Christian Book Services, observed the popularity of these seasonal program books during his tenure at Standard Publishing. Discussions with major Christian booksellers suggested there was a need for more of these types of books.

Based on the Christmas program books’ initial success, the company is now working on an Easter program book.
