BroadStreet Publishing

What BroadStreet Publishing does

BroadStreet Publishing, operating as BroadStreet® Publishing Group, LLC, is a privately held Christian book publisher headquartered in Savage, Minnesota. The company produces a catalog of 100+ titles annually, anchored by The Passion Translation® — a distinctive Bible translation licensed from Passion & Fire Ministries Inc. — which is offered across multiple editions including the New Testament, Old Testament portions, devotionals, study guides, and commentaries. The broader portfolio spans devotionals (daily, 365-day, word search), Belle City Gifts journals and planners, Bible promise books, full Bibles, adult coloring books, The Chosen TV series tie-ins, biographies, Christian living titles, fiction, and children's books (Kids and We Believe Kids), with a parallel Español line for Spanish-speaking audiences. Featured authors include Heidi Baker, Dallas Jenkins, Ray Comfort, and Brian Simmons (lead translator of TPT).

The company monetizes primarily through one-time retail sales of physical books and Bibles, distributed via direct-to-consumer e-commerce on broadstreetpublishing.com, wholesale and partner relationships with retailers and churches, and digital distribution through partnerships with five major Bible reading platforms — Olive Tree, YouVersion, Logos, Wordsearch Bible, and Tecarta. Customer segments include individual Christian readers (primary), churches and ministries, Christian retailers, and Spanish-speaking Christian communities. Marketing is conducted through email newsletters (with a 3 free e-book lead magnet), organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), and website content featuring new releases and author spotlights. BroadStreet is independently owned, with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or publicly reported revenue.

Underlying technology is conventional for the publishing sector: an e-commerce website with content management, ISBN-linked product catalog, and integrations with established Bible software platforms via standard digital distribution arrangements. No proprietary AI, API, or developer-facing platform is referenced in the available data, and the company operates without any disclosed mobile app of its own.
