History
Good News Publishers was founded in 1938 by Christian printer Clyde Dennis and his wife, Muriel. They used their savings of $20 to print 40,000 gospel tracts that Clyde had written and designed. After six months, the ministry had grown to the point that Clyde and Muriel's spare bedroom could no longer serve as office, shipping room, and warehouse. Clyde quit his full-time job and dedicated his time to writing, designing, and publishing tracts and Christian literature. Muriel became secretary and shipping clerk and often found herself folding thousands of tracts by hand. Within five years, Good News Publishers was distributing more than 50 million tracts a year.
In 1979, Good News Publishers was expanded with the founding of a new book publishing division, Crossway Books. Crossway has published titles by Christian authors such as Francis Schaeffer, Texe W. Marrs, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John MacArthur, J. I. Packer, Charles Colson, Frank Peretti, Max Lucado, John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Mark Driscoll, Ellen Banks Elwell, and others.
