Publishers everywhere keep a close eye on sales statistics, especially at year’s end. It’s no different at Faith Alive Christian Resources. Staff members are eager to see how the resources they have worked hard to produce and distribute are selling.
Each product sold represents a church education class, a pastor, a teenager, a deacon, a worship leader…people who have found a resource that meets their needs. And, as a nonprofit organization, Faith Alive reinvests every sales dollar to support new ministry resources.
Here are Faith Alive’s top sellers of 2005 (not including church school curriculum). For more information on these and other products, visit www. FaithAliveResources.org.
