Half a million and counting…

Books recently published

This month of May we finished several books that were sent or are about to be sent to the press in China. We average half a million books printed in China every year, most of them bibles.

Recently 80,000 copies of Diario Bíblico 2010 left for 20 international ports. Also somewhere on the oceans are other titles: “Praying with St. Paul – Acts of the Apostles and Lectio Divina” (a co publication with Paulist Press); “Salmos y Primera Carta de Pedro” for our Bishop Ruben Medina of Puerto Rico; “Mi Hora Santa Eucarística,” a book by Fr. Pedro Garcia CMF. There are 50,000 copies of the Christian Community Bible arriving in the Philippines, this time printed in India with the help of Fr. Benny Kanjirakatt, Director of Claretian Publications in Bangalore. There are thousands of La Biblia de Nuestro Pueblo on the way to different ports and also on the way to the press once again, as we continue answering the big demand for this bestseller. And, last but not least, the work that has taken countless hours and efforts: The New Testament in Creyol. Thanks to the tireless work of our missionaries in Haiti, Marta and Anibal and their teams, soon they will have the fruit of their labor.

Here is the cover.

Meanwhile we are working hard on the revised edition of the Chinese Pastoral Bible, and other projects… but we shall leave some news for the next month.
