About Barbour Publishing, Inc.

Our Mission: To Inspire the World with the Life-Changing Message of the Bible. Faithfulness to the Bible and love for Jesus Christ are the bedrock values behind every book Barbour’s staff produces. From a 70,000-square-foot facility in Uhrichsville, Ohio, Barbour produces more than 200 new titles per year. Those books, coupled with nearly six hundred stock titles, are part of Barbour’s mission to inspire the world with the life-changing message of the Bible. The Bible Promise Book®, devotionals for all ages, Bibles, kids' books, journals, and popular Bible reference books form the core of our publishing activities. But we are also home to bestselling authors Wanda E. Brunstetter, Josh McDowell, Jonathan McKee, and Carolanne Miljavac, among others. Our History: Originally called "Book Bargains," the company was founded in 1981 by Christian publishing visionary Hugh Barbour who initially focused on selling overstocks. Soon, however, the business transitioned to publishing its own titles, including The Bible Promise Book® which has gone on to sell millions of copies. In the years to follow, Barbour experienced phenomenal growth under the leadership of Tim Martins, including expansion of product lines, imprints, facilities, and a talented team of employees. In 2017, Barbour became one of the first employee-owned companies in the Christian Publishing industry.Read their story
