J.M. Frost started small and dreamed big. In 1891, the 43-year-old pastor had a desk in a corner of a newspaper office and a little money he borrowed from his wife. With the approval of the Southern Baptist Convention, he launched what is today one of the world’s largest providers of Christian resources.

Today, the ministries of Lifeway Christian Resources, originally the Sunday School Board, touch lives throughout the United States and worldwide. Those ministries include the production of Bibles, church literature, books, music, audio and video recordings, church supplies, and Internet services through Lifeway.com. The company operates 154 Lifeway Christian Stores throughout the United States and two of the largest Christian conference centers in the country. Through B&H Publishing Group, Lifeway offers one of the most accurate and readable translations of the Bible -- The Holman Christian Standard Bible.
