JourneyForth’s History

BJU Press opened a line of children’s books in 1986 to help teachers, parents and students find trustworthy reading material and to enhance the BJU Press reading program. The imprint was first called Books for Young Readers, then Journey Books, and then finally trademarked as JourneyForth Books.

The first book published in this new line was Jenny Wren, a fiction novel on the fourth grade level. Focusing at first on fiction, the line was later expanded to include other genres such as Bible studies. In 2006, Journeyforth Books again increased its trademarked categories to include books on Christian topics for adults.
