Press Release Body = New Kensington, Pennsylvania - January 1, 2006 -Whitaker House,
this year, celebrates 35 years of publishing contemporary and classic Christian
literature for the Christian retailing industry.

From its humble December 1970 beginning in the garage of founder and President
Robert E. Whitaker Sr., Whitaker House has experienced tremendous growth, and is now
housed in custom-built offices, including a 135,000 sq. foot warehouse distributing
over 18,000 different products.

Immense strides have been made since publication of Whitaker's first book, titled It
Can Happen to Anybody, by Russ Bixler (founder and CEO of Cornerstone Television).
While Whitaker Sr. accepted his mission to share the gospel with others, only God
knew that the production of that one book would grow to include the production and
distribution of books by some of today's best-selling authors, including Myles
Munroe, George Bloomer, Mary Baxter, Larry Huch, and others.

Whitaker House authors have appeared on some of the nations top Christian and
secular networks, from CNN to CBN, and on broadcasts such as Benny Hinn's Manna from
Heaven and Joyce Meyer's Enjoying Everyday Life.

In September 2004, Whitaker House launched Whitaker Entertainment, the company's new
multimedia division, which produces and distributes CDs, VHS, and DVDs. Of its many
artists, Whitaker Entertainment proudly represents Double Stellar Award nominee Lil
iROCC and world-renowned worship leader Darrell Evans, best known for his titles
"Trading My Sorrows" and "Let the River Flow."

The commemoration of the 35th anniversary of Whitaker House begins at this year's
CBA Advance, where retailers will find special discounts on select products, as well
as the new "Faith Builders Value Line" featuring discounted promotional items.

Join us in celebrating 35 years of turning hearts towards God, one soul at a time!
