Worship leader Ricardo Sanchez—author, GRAMMY nominee and Dove Award-winning songwriter—will join Christian Retailing in presenting the awards. Formerly minister of music at Jentezen Franklin's Free Chapel Worship Center in Gainesville, Ga., Sanchez has recently partnered in ministry with a number of artists, including Israel Houghton, Darlene Zschech and Mac Powell of Third Day.

Introduced in 2001, the Retailers Choice Awards have been increasingly acknowledged as an important way of recognizing some of the most significant new life-changing products in the Christian retail industry. Retailers were asked to judge nominations on the impact they have had on staff and customers, including their ability to: speak to people's hearts and evoke emotion; open people's minds to new ways of thinking; and encourage and affirm Christ-like living.
