on January 27, 2021

Our WCP Team has been hard at work trying to solve the big question: How do we get our books around the world at affordable prices?

And while we admit that the solution has not been easy, fast, or seamless; we have made great strides at opening up several key areas. Please join us in prayer that the Lord would expand distribution opportunities in other areas of the globe as well.

For now, we are pleased to announce that our paperbacks are available on these local and regional platforms worldwide, and the list will just keep growing.

Biblical Hope & The Bible Project

By DG Wynn
on January 05, 2021

We love to support and promote like-minded organizations working for the glory of God and one of those amazing orgs is The Bible Project, please check them out and subscribe to their Youtube channel and support their work if you are able.

We just wanted to share their amazing video on the difference between optimism and Biblical hope to start off this new year of 2021, because we at William Carey Publishing want to encourage all believers to lean into our very real and good God, because He does show up and is faithful, even if 2021 looks a lot like 2020.

Check out the video and enjoy.

Shipping Delays at Xmas

By DG Wynn
on December 11, 2020

We just want to be upfront with our customers, that we hustle and try and get every sale out the door as quickly as possible, which usually is same day. Our challenge this year and this season particularly is that the USPS has told us to warn our customers of even Priority Mail being delayed by a couple days, and Media Mail taking up to 10 days!

So, the answer is BUY BY DEC 14th and your packages will be under your tree in time!

Remembering Jesus Challenge

By DG Wynn
on November 30, 2020

The Remembering Jesus booklet addresses three questions:
1. Who is Jesus?
2. What did He do?
3. Why does that matter?

It is an outstanding way to start a conversation with a another Christian or with someone who has yet to meet Christ to ask them what they think and to share what you do as well.

The Challenge is to give a copy with every gift you give this season.

Congrats to our WCP authors who were celebrated with positive book reviews in EMQ's volume 56, issue 4!

The ministry of reconciliation. The ambassadorship of Jesus. The living in the way of Jesus with the heart of Jesus and sharing his truth, hope, and love with the world.

Well done authors, and Godspeed readers!

A Looming Crisis in the American Church

By WCP Team
on July 16, 2020

The July 8, 2020 release of the Barna Group’s latest study on the State of the Church has confirmed what some have suspected would occur as a result of COVID-19. The study revealed that 32 percent of practicing Christians stopped attending church, whether in person or online, since the outbreak of the virus. While the national public opinion survey of 1,000 US adults had a +/- 2.2% rate of error, when extrapolated to the general Christian population, there could be as many as 43 million people who decided to no longer attend church. Whether or not their minds will change once gathering restrictions are loosened, the study does corroborate a growing trend in the rapid decline of church attendance over the past two decades...
