Author and radio commentator Chuck Colson is to be honored this weekend at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) annual convention, during an event with a strong publishing emphasis.

Colson, whose books include The Faith and Loving God (both Zondervan) as well as How Now Shall We Live? and Lies That Go Unchallenged in Popular Culture (both Tyndale House Publishers), will be presented with a Hall of Fame Award.

Among the dozen publishers exhibiting at the Feb. 27-March 2 event in Nashville will be Baker Publishing Group, Harvest House Publishers, Strang Communications, Tyndale House Publishers, WestBow Press (Thomas Nelson's self-publishing division), Rose Publishing, Xulon Press and Advantage Books.

Joel C. Rosenberg, New York Times best-selling author of Tyndale's Bible prophecy-based books, including Epicenter, will be featured during the international luncheon Monday, March 1.

Dave Ramsey, author of the New York Times best-seller The Total Money Makeover (Thomas Nelson), is scheduled to lead a "Social Marketing Strategy" workshop, and Phil Cooke--author of The Last TV Evangelist (Conversant Media Group) and Branding Faith (Regal Books)--is one of the featured speakers at the convention.

On Sunday, Feb. 28, the "Night of Music" will feature Echoing Angels, 1000 Generations, Rush of Fools, Austin's Bridge, The Blackwood Brothers, Ginny Owens and Justin Unger.

"NRB member broadcasters have always had a good working relationship with both the authors and publishers of books over the years," NRB Vice President of Operations David Keith told Christian Retailing. "It has been a beneficial relationship for all involved. Recent (economy-related) challenges only mean we need to invest additional energy in finding ways that make sense for all those involved."
