Christian publishing veteran Byron Williamson has launched a publishing division for his Nashville-based multimedia company.

Part of Worthy Media, Worthy Publishing will produce books in several genres—including inspirational, fiction, Bible study, current events, devotion, biography, leadership, specialized Bibles, spiritual and personal growth, as well as children's titles.

Publishing in both digital and print editions, Worthy's first books will be released in the fall, including Charles Colson's The Sky Is Not Falling—to come out in September. Stephen Arterburn's Walking Into Walls will also be released the same month. Additionally, Gloria Gaither's gift book, A Homecoming Christmas: Making Memories of Comfort and Joy, is scheduled to be released in October.

Williamson, president and CEO of Worthy Media, said that the new publishing house is "a privately held, independent voice in Christian book publishing, not tied to a New York-based parent." "This responsive team will be hands-on in all phases of the publishing process—editorial, marketing, publicity, sales and distribution," added Williamson, former president of Word Publishing, Thomas Nelson/Word Publishing Group and Integrity Publishers.

Worthy Media has also produced a video series based on the New York Times best-seller 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper with Cecil Murphey (Revell/Baker Publishing Group).
