10ofThose was started by Jonathan Carswell with the idea of getting the best Christian books and resources out to as many people as possible. Beginning as a hobby, 10ofThose has now grown to be a company that distributes millions of resources a year. We give God the glory!
In the early days the work had no name as it was just a hobby, but people had to buy books in the 10’s. Therefore, when the company was founded in 2007, the name "10ofThose" was given – taken from people calling and asking for “10 of those, 10 of those, and 10 of those”. The name stuck!
Now however you don’t have to buy 10. You can buy any number you like, from one to 10 to 10,000+. However, often at 10ofThose, the more you buy the cheaper it gets. We offer price breaks for varying quantities on most titles; these price breaks are displayed on each product's web page.

Thank you for asking! While much of what we do and how we operate feels like a not-for-profit, we are a C-corp to help us get more Christian resources into more hands. Being a C-corporation, we do not ask for or invite donations to our ministry. However, you can help us in several ways:
Shop with us where you can! We believe you will experience great customer service and the prices we offer are the best around (and don’t forget it’s only ever $1 shipping for your whole order).
Follow us on social media - Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter - to receive the latest updates and to join our community of other 10ofThose supporters.
Tell your friends and families about us - our ministry, mission, and the books we provide.
Leave us a Google review - your positive feedback will help us draw awareness to our mission and all the good that 10ofThose is doing.
Think about blessing others with books and gifting them to friends and family, even evangelistic books to nonbelievers.
Support us by supporting your local churches and ministries financially. For example, perhaps you can donate to your church so they can purchase books for their ministry - ask them to shop at 10ofThose and we'll help the money go further!
Please check out our YouTube channel, or listen to our 10ofThose podcast.
If you run a podcast or a blog and want to review one of our titles, please email us your details at info.us@10ofthose.com. The same applies to educational institutions. We’d be glad to help!
You can view more about our Partnership Program here.
Please email our team at info.us@10ofthose.com and we can set you up.
It’s always best to give as much time as possible, but we are happy to assist if you're late to getting things sorted. Please contact us if you have any deadlines for arrival so we can assist you with your order. Depending on what you’re ordering we can rush your order, shipping it either from our main warehouse or a secondary warehouse. If, for whatever reason, the title you want isn’t available in time, our team knows our products very well and can suggest something else to meet your needs.
A pop-up bookstore has our 10ofThose team coming to you, bringing the best Christian books to your community for them to look through. This is a great way to reach the whole church and impact even fringe members. As part of your service we'll make some recommendations for books and enthuse about reading (you’ll see an example in the video below). This is done sensitively and not commercially; rather, we are enthusing about the power of books that point to Jesus. We supply many churches each year and it usually becomes an annual event that churches call ‘Book Sunday.'
Our presence doesn’t harm the week-to-week ministry of a book room you may already have. We go to many churches that already have something happening. They actually find that our work boosts what they do in the following weeks.
Please note our events team gets booked quickly, so it’s wise to plan 8-12 months out. If you want us to visit you sooner, please contact us at info.us@10ofthose.com, and we’ll do all we can to be with you.
This video of the 10ofThose pop-up bookstore explains more.
We’d love to come to your event – this is one of the core works of our ministry. Please email us at info.us@10ofthose.com with details, and we’ll work with you to ensure we can provide a superb bookstore that will advance the ministry of your event.
Please note:
We do not charge to come to your event.
We require power and wifi.
If you can provide our employees with accomodation, it is helpful to keep our costs down, but it is not a requirement.
We typically need a minimum attendance of 300 people, though some exceptions are possible. For example, if your event is only 200 people, but we can stay for the Sunday services where the attendance is 600 people, we can attend your event.
For an event of 300 people we’d typically request 10-12 tables to serve the attendees well.
We get booked up fast! Please plan 8-12 months out. If your event is sooner, please contact info.us@10ofthose.com, and we’ll do what we can to serve you well.
It is possible! Please see our publishing department guidelines.
As part of our selection process of titles we don’t stock/distribute self-published or POD titles. If a mainstream publisher publishes your book and you’d like us to consider stocking it, please ask the publisher to send us a review copy.
If you are speaking at an event at which we are providing the bookstore, or your ministry is exhibiting at such a conference, and you’d like the book to be available in the store, please contact our team at info.us@10ofthose.com with details and we’ll be glad to help facilitate this.
Please email us the transaction date and the last four digits of the card used to purchase and we can send you an invoice. If you have the name/location of the event and the total purchase amount, this can also help.
Yes! If your church/organization is qualified for sales tax exemption in your state, we can set your account up as tax-exempt. The setup is typically a one-time process (unless your certificate expires), and then future orders you place online will not be charged tax.
To do so, register for or log into your account here. From your account dashboard, click “Upgrade” then “Premium Church Account." Fill out all the required information and upload your state sales tax exemption certificate.
We will manually process your exemption on our end, usually within two business days, and confirm with you via email once this is done. Please note that this tax exemption will only be automatically applied to the email account to which it is submitted. If your church/organization has multiple staff members who will be ordering from us, we recommend creating a shared organizational account with us (using the same log-in), or reaching out to request that the tax exemption be applied to multiple accounts.
If you cannot wait for the tax exemption to be processed and need to place an order immediately, you can submit your order with sales tax. Then, we can retroactively refund the tax ($2 minimum) once your paperwork has been processed. Note: the paperwork must be submitted within the timeline of ordering required by your state in order to receive a refund retroactively.
If you’re reselling, then you can set up a trade account. To do so, register for or log into your 10ofthose account. From your account dashboard, click “Upgrade” then “Trade Account." Fill out all the required information and upload your resale certificate. We will then manually process your paperwork on our end, usually within two business days, and confirm with you via email once this is done.
We offer two options for placing trade orders. Once your trade account is set up on our website, you can place orders online, and your eligible trade discounts will be automatically applied to your order. Alternatively, you can email or phone in your order, which we will process and invoice you for (depending upon our prior agreement).
We offer trade discounts on all of our 10Publishing, Evangelical Press, and Reformation Lightning titles, along with titles from our distribution partners Union, The Gospel Coalition, Lithos Kids, and Myrtlefield. The more you buy, the greater your discount will be. You can view our standard trade terms and discount tiers here. As a trade customer, you still have the option to purchase other titles from us, but these special discounts only apply to materials by the publishers listed above.
At 10ofThose, we handpick the best Christian books and resources from across the publishers, road testing them to ensure that what we sell holds to the Bible and points to Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean these are the only good books on the market – we also decide what we stock based on accessibility, availability, and cost-effectiveness.
We want 10ofThose to be a partner in your ministry that you can trust, and we seek to do this in our stock range, the prices we offer, and the service we provide.
Our main focus is English language titles, as we partner with other ministries that can better supply other languages. However, we want to support non-English speakers, especially in their evangelistic outreach. If you need something specific, please let us know by contacting us at info.us@10ofthose.com.
We appreciate the desire to give away books. This is something we want to encourage, giving to those people who aren't already buying or perhaps to someone who isn't yet a Christian. However, we find that books are often given to people who can afford them or already have lots of books, and this doesn't seem a wise use of resources, unfortunately.
If the recipients of your books can't afford them, or you are looking to give away books evangelistically and you can't afford to buy them, then we would love to help you work through ways to make it possible for books to be available. If you want to apply for free books please email us explaining what books you're looking for, how they will be used, and why your circumstances mean you cannot purchase them. We'll do our best to serve and help you.

We supply files in the standard eBook ePub format. You should have been provided with a link straight after your ebook purchase to download your ebook. However if you did not download them, you can go back to Your Account page to view your recent orders and download your ebook.
Once you’ve downloaded your file, you must transfer it to your eReader device. Below are instructions for transferring files to two of the most popular eReaders.

Transferring to Kindle? See the instructions below!
Connecting your Kindle device to your computer:
Plug the larger end of a USB cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub connected to your computer.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the micro–USB port on the bottom of your Kindle device.
When connected to your computer, your Kindle device will go into USB drive mode and the computer will recharge its battery. Your wireless service is temporarily shut off and you will not receive any of your subscriptions while in this mode. Also, your Kindle device is not usable as a reading device while you are in USB drive mode, but will return to where you were when you eject the Kindle device from your computer.
Transferring Kindle content
Once connected to a computer using a USB cable, your Kindle device will appear in the same location as external USB drives usually appear. For Windows users, this is typically in the “Computer” or “My Computer” menu. For Mac users, the drive should appear on the desktop.
Open the Kindle drive. You will see several folders inside, one of which will be named “documents.” This is the folder you will move the downloaded file into.
Locate the downloaded file and copy it into the documents folder. You can generally copy files by clicking and dragging the file to the folder.
Safely eject your Kindle device from your computer and unplug the USB cable. Your content will appear on the Home screen.

One of the key ingredients of our service to you is flexibility. We know that each church or organization has different needs and we want to help with your situation. As a result we offer a variety of ways in addition to our website for churches to buy books and run a bookstall. We'd love to serve you. Please email info.us@10ofthose.com and we'd be glad to help you.
If a pre-order item is alone on your order, then we’ll send it out as soon as it is released.
If there is a wait for your pre-order item and is ordered along with other available items, we'll often split it and go ahead and send what is available at the time of your order. Your pre-order item will follow as soon as it is released. There is no charge to you for the extra shipping in this case.
We aim to process your order as quickly as possible. Please see our 10ofThose Shipping page for more processing and delivery times details. If, when placing your order, you know you need your resources by a specific date, please inform the office via phone call or email. If you have any questions, please do get in touch with us via email at info.us@10ofthose.com.
We certainly can! At 10ofThose, we love books and work hard to keep up to date with new and exciting releases. We have an experienced staff team who can answer your questions, make suggestions, and find something that will meet your needs. You can contact our 10ofThose team via email at sales.us@10ofthose.com.
We endeavor to be the most affordable place to buy Christian books and resources you can trust. That being said, we sometimes may not be the cheapest. But buying from 10ofThose means that you are supporting our work - a Christian book ministry helping spread the distribution of gospel resources across the USA and the rest of the world. If you need help purchasing from us and the price doesn’t seem right, please contact us at sales.us@10ofthose.com and we’d be glad to help. We appreciate your support and loyal business.
10ofThose is a C corporation. However, in many ways, we function like a non–profit organization: we work hard to use any profits to distribute resources across the world and to support other Christian ministries that hold to our Basis of Faith.
With the generated profits, 10ofThose supports other ministries and maintains and grows our work. We make donations to ministry partners and financial contributions to 10Giving, a not-for-profit set up by the board of 10ofThose.
