"The manager of Daystar Press in Nigeria discusses the activities of Christian publishing houses in Africa: their substantive publishing output, their significance in the development and the encouragement of authorship with commitment, their capacity in the organization of large-scale distribution outlets, management of efficient printing presses, and the wide range of subjects published. Although now very dated, this remains one of the most comprehensive overviews of Christian publishing on the continent." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 1718)
