Selected Bestsellers

Byron has published hundreds of fiction and non-fiction books, gift products, children’s books, and multimedia products at Word, Thomas Nelson, Integrity and Worthy. Many became national bestsellers in mainstream retail at Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.

He founded the imprint, WordKids, which transitioned into industry leader Tommy Nelson, and he then launched J Countryman gift books.

Of note, the global bestseller, Jesus Calling, was imagined and published by Williamson at Integrity Publishers in 2004. Young’s titles have now sold over 46 million copies, now with Harper-Collins Christian Publishers.
