(Nashville, Tenn.), Thomas Nelson, Inc. has signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Standard Publishing to represent their adult and children’s small group studies and children’s church resources. The partnership allows Standard Publishing’s direct-to-church and telephone sales teams to present select Thomas Nelson titles to the churches they serve.

“I am very excited about this partnership, says Wayne Hastings, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Thomas Nelson’s Bible Group. “Standard has a long tradition of serving churches across the country with integrity and service, and we’re honored to have their team come alongside us and represent Thomas Nelson’s life-changing small group and church resources.”

“Because of our position as one of the leading publishers of Vacation Bible School programs and church curriculum products, Standard is very effective at creating awareness of our products at the church level,” notes Larry A.
