Christian Booksellers Association |
CBA (formerly known as the Christian Booksellers Association)[1] is a trade association that was established in 1950.[2] The association was first organized by 219 Christian bookstores and, by 2011, had grown to include 1700 stores.[3] The number of member stores expanded considerably in the 1990s with the rise of online shopping.[4] Bill Anderson is president of the association[5] and Curtis Riskey is executive director.[6] By 2014, CBA had discontinued its winter trade fair in response to the closing of many of the association's member stores.[7] CBA has guidelines for books sold by its member stores to prohibit offensive content including profanity, alcohol consumption, and references to luck.[8] When a significant minority of customers at CBA's member stores take offense to a book, CBA pressures all member stores to stop selling books by that book's publisher.[9] CBA purchases films from Pure Flix Entertainment.[10]
