Shop Moody Publishers!

Readers, as part of our 2021 Christmas Gift Lists, we’re featuring favorite Christian publishers and booksellers. Amazon is a great option for many things, but shopping directly from Christian booksellers and publishers is a great way to support fellow Christians in an industry increasingly hostile to Christians. More of your dollars stay in their pockets, and you are showing that these businesses are important and needed! Shopping directly from the source may involve extra shipping costs, but most of the companies we’re featuring offer very competitive pricing (and, often, better sales and discounts).

Note: some of our Christmas Gift List posts contain affiliate links. Read our full disclosure.

What Is Moody Publishers?

Moody Publishers is a Christian publisher founded by D. L. Moody in 1894. Today, their mission is to “resource the church’s work of discipling all people.” According to their website, “all proceeds from Moody Publishers benefit The Moody Bible Institute, which exists to educate and equip students for Christian ministry.” That’s a mission we can get behind!
