Lighthouse Christian Products' specials are being spotlighted in the new Virtual Christian Restock Connection.
Matthew Kelly's Rediscovering Catholicism (Beacon Publishing) and C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters (HarperOne) top the hardcover and paperback lists, respectively, this month-tracking December 2009 sales.
Christian retailers are being invited to vote for the Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Awards.
Better Day by Gaither Vocal Band (Gaither Music Group/EMI CMG Distribution) supplanted Speaking Louder Than Before by Jeremy Camp (BEC Recordings/EMI CMG) for the top spot of the SoundScan's Christian/Gospel music Christian retail chart for sales the week ending Jan. 31, while the DVD of Better Day replaced Perfect Stranger and Another Perfect Stranger: The Director's Double Feature (Kelly's Filmworks/EMI CMG) atop the Christian Videos list.
