In 2025, David C Cook continued to advance the gospel and reach new audiences through classic discipleship tools and strategic partnerships in the U.S. and around the world. Each book sold represents an individual being drawn closer to Christ and growing in spiritual maturity.
The enduring hunger for biblical wisdom has sparked renewed interest and momentum across Warren Wiersbe’s commentary and Bible study series, equipping a new generation of pastors and seminary students to handle God’s Word faithfully. The revised and updated edition of the apologetics classic, Cold-Case Christianity, is now 2 years old and rapidly outpacing the reach it achieved in its first decade.
We’re also reaching new audiences worldwide by partnering with indigenous publishers to bring culturally relevant resources to life in native languages and formats.
David C Cook partnered with the #1 Prime Video hit The House of David and pastor Greg Laurie to create a companion Bible study and devotional, helping thousands of believers move beyond the screen and into the story of King David’s life and faith.

His songs have reached wide audiences and received strong chart & award recognition in the UK gospel scene.

GLOBAL IMPACT
Nikitha Giving Globally Matters
As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with gratitude for your generous and continued support. Your monthly and annual contributions make a lasting impact.
100% of your donation helps deliver time-tested, proven-effective biblical resources into the hands of those who need them most.
One of those resources is Life on Life. Nikitha is in the 9th grade, and she shares how Life on Life has impacted her faith:
“Earlier, I used to read the Bible without much interest. But after attending the Life on Life Sunday School, I began to understand why I should read and study the Bible. This understanding has impacted me deeply in my personal walk with God.”
This year, we have seen a 76% increase in giving and our number of donors more than doubled.
Advancing His Work, Together
We give all glory to God for His faithfulness and provision. Fiscal year 2025 marked a season of remarkable blessing as we experienced our fourth consecutive year of revenue growth—led by the continued strength of our book, publishing, and music ministries and further bolstered by the acquisition of Group Publishing.
