Innovative Web Venture to Launch This Spring from New Hope Publishers

(Birmingham, Ala.)—March 9, 2011—As book publishing rapidly enters an exciting new era of connectivity, New Hope Publishers is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of NewHopeDigital.com this April. NewHopeDigital.com is an innovative Web venture, providing readers and retailers with fresh content from top authors in multiple digital formats.

NewHopeDigital.com will feature regularly updated magazine-style content—articles, columns, feature stories, podcasts, videos—from New Hope authors and other contributors. In addition to featuring the latest book releases, each month the site will have a specific theme, such as orphan care, human exploitation, the persecuted church, and missional living.

“New Hope authors are making an impact for Christ, and through New Hope Digital, readers and retailers will be able to read, listen, watch, and interact with them regarding relevant, contemporary issues all in one place,” says publisher Andrea Mullins. “We are praying that our unique approach will be transformational in the lives of believers and will be a tool that retailers can use to connect their customers to the books that will be most helpful in their spiritual journeys.”

The New Hope fold of authors has been very receptive to the concept. “NewHopeDigital.com will provide me an opportunity to go deeper and connect with readers and retailers in an exciting new venue,” says top-selling New Hope author Jennifer Kennedy Dean, best known for her Live a Praying Life resources. “Since most of us live a cyberlife, NewHopeDigital.com fits right into the flow of information that I value and look forward to.”

New Hope author Mark Russell (The Missional Entrepreneur) says, “The church needs a place to explore complex human issues, discover the comprehensive vision of God’s mission, and how these two realities can come together. I’m excited about New Hope Digital because it gives us a conversation space to learn from one another in our God-given mandate to love him and our global neighbor.”
