How we started
Editora Vida Cristã (Christian Life Publishing Co.) was founded in 1977 by Dr. Alaor Leite. It rapidly grew and became one of the most important Christian publishers in Brazil during the 1980s. When its largest distributor filed for bankruptcy, Vida Cristã retracted but managed to survive one of the biggest crises the Brazilian economy had ever gone through.

In 1997, Sidney Leite, the son of Dr. Leite, became Vida Cristã´s CEO. Vida Cristã started a new period of growth and has been accumulating awards and citations ever since, including two finalists in the Jabuti Award, the most prestigious literary award in Brazil.

In recent years, Vida Cristã was awarded the ABEC (Brazilian Association of Christian Publishers) Prize in many categories, including: "Best Christian Living Book", "Best Evangelism Book", "Best Foreign Author Currently Residing in Brazil", "Best New Author", "Best Cover".
