During a time of enormous change in the media world, one segment of the Christian publishing industry seems alive and well: the Spanish publishing market.

At least that's my impression after returning from Expolit, which is the Spanish publishing trade show. For the past 20 years it has been held in Miami; and this year attendance was up 20 percent over last year.  For me, it was great to celebrate the 15th anniversary of our Casa Creacion book imprint with a special service featuring Iris Delgado, author of Satan, You Can't Have My Marriage.  Her book in English Satan, You Can't Have My Children was originally published in Spanish. The English version has taken off and sold more than 100,000 copies in less than a year.  It's an indication to me that the Spanish segment of the church is increasingly influencing the wider church.  Read our news story here about Expolit.

Jim Bakker believes The Harbinger is one of the most important books he's ever read because of its prophetic insights. The book highlights how God dealt with Israel when the people rejected Him, and how the same warnings in Isaiah 9:10 still apply today.

Bakker is featuring Cahn on his national television show all this week. He invited us on the show at their new facility called Morningside outside Branson, Mo.

My son Chandler and I traveled to Africa in 2006, and we had to sleep one night under a mosquito net. That’s because the possibility of malaria is still real in the remote area of Malawi where we visited.

Malaria was a problem in the U.S. until around the time I was born. A concerted effort was made to wipe it out. The same can be done in Africa, where it killed nearly 600,000 people in 2010—mostly children. The thing is, we can save a life with a $6 sleeping net that is treated to kill the malaria-bearing mosquitoes.
