Carlisle, PA — We are pleased to announce the merger of Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service (CVBBS) with EP Books and the formation of a new organization – Grace Distribution Inc.

Grace Distribution is  a non-profit company dedicated to the production, sale and distribution of Christian Books across the USA and Canada. It also has a worldwide outreach into Africa, Russia and Eastern European countries in English, French and Russian languages. Going forward Grace Distribution Inc will be made up of Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service (www.cvbbs.com) managing retail activities, and EP Books Inc (www.epbooks.us) managing trade and distribution sales.

CEO of EP Books Graham Hilton said: ‘It has taken us 2 years to reach this significant milestone in developing our presence in the USA. Our desire is to honor the Lord as we seek to expand the sales and distribution of quality Christian books. It is a delight to join forces in this work with CVBBS who already have shown unprecedented skills in improving our customer service. This had been achieved under the direction of Todd Jennings (the owner of CVBBS) and the other members of his team, and I am delighted that he has taken up the role of CEO at Grace Distribution’.

Todd Jennings said: ‘Having a publisher, distributor and retailer under the same roof is very positive and gives the new organization strength in depth as we look to developing in the future. Having the ability to reach more of the world with the Gospel gives us an invaluable opportunity’.

EP Books is the US distributer for Evangelical Press, Carey Publications, Bryntyrion Press, Grace Publications, Wakeman Publications and ET Perspectives.

CVBBS has a dedicated  bookstore and warehouse facility operating from its premises in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and is key web retailer of Christian books from a wide variety of publishers.

The EP group now has employees in the USA, United Kingdom, France, Finland, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Benin, Togo and Belarus.

EP’s  bestselling title ‘Ultimate Questions’ is available in fifty-nine languages and has more than sixteen million copies in print. Through the Lord’s goodness it has been used in one-to-one evangelism for over 22 years and been the means through which many have come to know Christ as Savior and Lord. EP also runs pastors conferences in Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Belarus, in addition to a French language correspondence course for pastors and fifteen French language radio shows a week.
