The World of Christian Books and Writers

I got back late last week from the annual Christian Booksellers convention. Always in July, it’s normally in a hot, sweaty southern city. This year was Atlanta, next year is Orlando. We haven’t been back to Dallas since it hit 120 degrees several years ago. Now if we could only have it in Portland or Seattle…. Anyway, I’m going to spend a couple blogs talking about it.

The convention was called CBA until a few years ago, when they changed it to ICRS, the International Christian Retail Show. Thousands of people attend. Every year I meet interesting people and renew my friendships with several hundred people who are booksellers, writers and publishers. Many of these I see only at ICRS.
