You will also be aware that we have recently entered in to a partnership with Crossway to make available their range of books and Bibles. At CRE we will be giving away free copies of the full ESV Bible to both delegates and retailers alike, with the view of increasing the profile of the ESV translation to your customers! All retailers to receive a FREE ESV Bible will also be automatically entered into a prize draw to win £250 of Crossway products (at RRP).

We will also have an extensive range of new and existing Penfold Card and Gift lines to peruse in the ‘Brigadier Gerard’ suite. It will be well worth taking 30 minutes out of your day to come and see us, have a refreshing drink and have a good look at our new ranges.To arrange an appointment call Andrew Gray on 07710 070034. It can quite often be difficult to find the suites at CRE Esher; to help make this easier for you we will provide maps from the Trust Media Stand and also will happily take you up to the room to meet with an Area Sales Manager there.

Eikon – will also be at CRE, stand S94, why not take the opportunity to pop by and find out more about the product range and how it can benefit your customers?

Improving availability at STL Distribution

In recent weeks we have been working hard on improving our stock availability. As part of this work, our main focus has been on the more popular selling titles – we call them category 1 & 2 (core stock and bestsellers) – which make up a significant proportion of the lines our customers require. Our goal is to fulfil over 90% of lines ordered from these categories and, with this in mind, we have seen a marked improvement in our availability and achieved that goal last week.



As you will be aware, it is a continual process to ensure we have the right titles in stock at the right time; we recognise that this is by no means perfect. Our core stock and bestsellers may be different to yours and there will be areas where we still have gaps. So please don’t hesitate to make us aware of where we need to strengthen our stock range by speaking with our Customer Services team or your Area Sales Manager; they will gladly receive your feedback and pass on to the supply chain team, who will bring stock in as appropriate.



This week we have received a number of large orders from NavPress, Tyndale, Charisma Media (Strang), AMG, Kregel, Gospel Folio, B&H, Gospel Light, Crossway Books, Moody, Hodder, Zondervan and Thomas Nelson. So we would ask that you give us a try by placing an order today and let us know how you get on!

Worth A Look!
This week’s featured publisher is Ambassador International. Over three decades, Ambassador International have published a huge number of titles, including commentaries, fiction, biography and Christian Living, through their offices in Belfast Northern Ireland and Greenville, South Carolina.

The following key titles are available to order through STL Distribution:



Good Morning Beautiful
Paulette George
At two-and-a-half, Christina was autistic. She didn’t speak and had the cognitive ability of an infant. With one hundred seizures a day, her life was being ripped away by a relentless villain – epilepsy.

When doctors gave up, her parents hung on to hope and became her advocates – researching, praying, and believing for a miracle. A special diet, with roots in scripture, became the first miracle. Christina proved nothing is impossible when she repeated words to a song, “Good Morning Beautiful.” Extremely delayed, it was a huge milestone. Her story caught the attention of the national recording artist who recorded the song and prior to brain surgery, people around the world began praying for her. Now seizure and autism free, therapists cite services are no longer needed as Christina’s file doesn’t match the patient.

99 years tomorrow since the Titanic sank

The Titanic struck the iceberg at 23.40 on the night of the 14th April, 1912, sinking the following morning.
We have two excellent books – one for adults and one for children:

Thomas Nelson have just published The Band That Played On by Steve Turner: the never before told inspiring stories of the eight brave musicians who played as the Titanic sank.
Based on original, new research: contemporary news accounts from the local newspapers in the regions where the musicians were raised, the written testimonies of survivors, census records, birth records and archives from White Star Line, shipping log records and much more.
May 2011 marks the centenary of the launch of Titanic.


Featured in our new Children's promotion for Retail Partners is Titanic: the ship of dreams from Christian Focus' Torchbearers series. As the icy waters brought the life of John Harper to a close he still had the energy to call one final person to come to Christ.
