Episode Details

A thoughtful conversation with Nikki Gelman, Vice President for Bibles at Thomas Nelson. This episode of Mission SONlight CHATT goes beyond publishing news and gets personal. Nikki shares her early faith story, the kind of home that shaped her love for Scripture, and the long path that led her into Bible publishing.

Along the way, this interview explores the history of Thomas Nelson, the story behind the New King James Version, why Bible sales are still growing, and how print, audio, and digital formats are helping more people stay connected to God's Word. Nikki also talks about the Open Bible, Thomas Nelson authors like Max Lucado and Sarah Young, and the lasting value of making beautiful, usable Bibles for everyday readers.

One of the strongest moments comes near the end, when she reads Colossians 3:23-24 and points everything back to serving Christ in whatever work God gives us.

If you care about Bible publishing, Christian books, the NKJV, or how faith and work connect in real life, this episode is worth your time.
