Christian Retailing Magazine, one of the premier sources for christian products, spotlighted the anticipated release of "The Legend of Gid the Kid and the Black Bean Bandits" as its top story for the children's section. The magazine article has led to increased interest in the upcoming book series among christian retailers, who are the primary target of the magazine.
The story was soon followed up by Ken Walker, a columnist for the magazine who is developing a feature story on the Miller Brothers and their background in Christian retailing for an upcoming issue.
