'Charisma' lands dozens of retail distribution deals: "'Charisma,' already one of the largest circulation Christian magazines in the country, has landed new distribution deals with Wal-Mart and dozens of other retail chains nationwide, including Rite-Aid, Kroger, 7-Eleven and Barnes & Noble.

"The company says it also is in negotiations with other retailers.

"In a prepared statement, Stephen Strang, the founder of 'Charisma,' one of the publications produced by Strang Communications of Lake Mary, says the new deals will allow the magazine to grow sales further by extending its distribution beyond its list of subscribers and about 1,000 Christian bookstores and 2,200 churches that sell the monthly publication."
