CrossBooks, the self-publishing division of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, has seen its first title picked up by a traditional publisher.

Lisa Raines' 8 Crucial Realities: Successful Choices for Graduates has been acquired by the B&H Publishing Group. The book was written for recent college graduates and looks at spiritual and practical topics, including money, relationships and God’s will.

“B&H’s decision to pick up Lissa’s book illustrates perfectly the opportunities that CrossBooks makes available to new authors,” said Selma Wilson, president of B&H Publishing Group. “We view CrossBooks as not only a forum for authors to publish their works, but as a resource for our traditional publishing division to discover exceptional writings from top Christian leaders.”

CrossBooks was launched in 2009, with one of its aims to provide a proving ground for new authors. Director Bill Nielsen said that he anticipated there would be additional CrossBooks authors to follow Raines’ path into traditional publishing.
