Christian Book Expo

the Christian Book Expo

Mark Kuyper, ECPAIn the fall of 2004 I interviewed 35 CEOs, visited 15 publishing houses, and surveyed our entire membership to determine the challenges and needs of our industry. There was an amazing consistency in the response. Perhaps the most significant issue was “lack of awareness and connectedness to the Church.” At that point, the idea of a consumer- and church-based “book fair” was born. Since then, the idea has been nurtured through the ECPA board, the new “Book Fair Task Force,” and the ECPA staff. Challenges were raised, research was done, visits to other consumer shows were made, and more publisher visits and interviews were conducted. The result is what is now presented to you as the Christian Book Expo (CBE).
