Let’s Chat with Two Christian Publishers

A Guest Post from Shirley Crowder

This Post by Guest Blogger, Shirley Crowder, InspiredPrompt.com, reproduced with their kind permission from HERE

I first became aware of Focus Publishing in the late 1990s when Martha Peace visited South Africa (where I lived at the time) for ministry and to promote her excellent, newly released book, The Excellent Wife. Much more recently I have connected with Shirley Crowder who also takes writing seriously. She asked if I would answer some questions to do with publishing in my role at Shepherd Press. Of course, I was delighted to do so, and even more pleased when I discovered that Shepherd Press was to be sharing the post with Jan Haley of Focus Publishing!

Let’s Chat with Two Christian Publishers

by Shirley Crowder

I am proud to introduce two “small”—perhaps in name recognition in some circles, but not in production of Christ-edifying books—Christian publishing houses you may not be familiar with but need to know about. I have close connections with both, and yes, I’m proudly partial to both of them!

I’m excited for you to “listen” as I chat with Jan Haley of Focus Publishing and Jim Holmes of Shepherd Press.

At the end of the interview you’ll find more info about Jan Haley / Focus Publishing and Jim / Shepherd Press.

Let’s get started!

What advantages are there in publishing through a smaller Christian publisher?

Jan: If you find a publisher that has an established market in your writing target, you will be more likely to reach a successful audience. A successful, smaller Christian publisher has refined their niche market and there you will find your customers.

Jim: Working with a smaller Christian publisher does facilitate a higher level of intimacy with the staff there and yet also brings the benefits of professional editing, production, and things like marketing and distribution portals.

Trends in Christian publishing are ever changing. Are there any of which our readers need to know?

Jim: I guess there is the good and the not-so-good! On the positive side, book production is getting better and better. We have access to great software that enables better graphic production, nicer book layout and design, and some efficiencies that facilitate much better outcomes. Not so positively, some publishers are less discerning on what they will bring into print, and there is always the temptation to print and promote a book because of commercial rather than ministry priorities. I always like to encourage authors, whether established or would-be ones, that the publisher that will do best for them is the one that is informed by biblical standards and is committed to a God-glorifying approach in the whole process.

Jan: I like to keep a pulse on current social problems and publish biblical resources to help hurting and confused people and to offer hope. For us, that means providing biblical answers not found in psychology. It is a priority that our books be 100% biblical. Christian publishers also need to help keep the church of Jesus Christ accountable for their response to the “trends” in our culture today.

If someone has a “really great” idea for a book, is there a process you recommend for developing that idea?

Jan: You must develop and write that “great” book before you send it to a publisher. I would suggest starting with an outline, research what you want to say, and then begin to “flesh it out.” After you have written a chapter, set it aside for a week or more and then re-visit it, editing and making changes as they become obvious. For me, Scripture quotations must be absolutely accurate, for example. If you quote something, footnote the source. Pay attention to detail.

Jim: Test it out with a small focus group and measure the response!

What are some common mistakes authors make when working with a publisher and submitting a manuscript? AND/OR What would you have them do differently?

Jim: For anyone proposing a manuscript, the key thing to keep in mind is to state VERY succinctly what the book is all about.

Jan: An author really needs to seek the help of an editor who can help them determine whether they are staying on message or drifting off on “rabbit trails.” Do that before you send the manuscript to a publisher.

What does your publishing house look for in a manuscript?

Jan: Because we are a small publishing house, we look to fill a counseling void, or at least a void in our catalog. We have found that shorter “booklets” are very popular. This is not surprising in our “McDonalds” culture. We want our food fast and our answers fast. We believe our large collection of booklets supply that desire.

Jim: We’re interested in writing projects that will glorify God in meeting needs and three criteria, as Tedd Tripp so well states, the text should be (a) gospel-driven—the grace of the gospel is not just for sinners; it is for saints, too. (b) The work should be heart focused. Lasting growth takes place as the heart is changed by grace. And, (c), the submission should be writing that will have a life-changing effect on readers.

What do you like best about your interactions with your authors?

Jim: It’s important, in my mind, to help authors express themselves in their own words, and yet in a medium that requires editorial development and very specific care. And I love teasing out how visual metaphors (as in cover designs and book typography) can help express these in practical ways, that are meaningful to the end users of the book once it is in print.

Jan: I know the depth of Bible study these men and women have completed to be in (mostly) counseling and pastoral situations, pointing people to God’s Word for hope and help with their struggles in life. I am more than honored and humbled to be part of their ministries, as they are part of ours.

How can our readers pray for you personally and your publishing house?

Jan: Pray that we can stay so close to the Lord that we may feel the “pulse” of what Christians need to help them grow spiritually. Pray that God will continue to bless our efforts here so that more people in this generation will realize there is only one true source of hope and help in this world today.

Jim: Please pray for us in the ministry of Shepherd Press that we would be guided by the Lord in all matters and that we would stay faithful to Him in each detail of His calling to us. These are challenging days, and it is vital that we be sensitive to the needs and challenges of ministry the times in which He has called us to serve.

After you read about these publishers and their publishing houses, you will want to go to my blog: ThroughtheLensofScripture.com to find (As Paul Harvey would say) “The rest of the story.”

Jan Haley

Jan says, “It has been amazing for me to look back and see how God has sent resources that would grow what I consider to be His Company and our ministry. One book has led to another, and that to another and so on.”

Jan is the founder and owner. She pretty much makes all the major decisions about the company and which resources to publish, editing as she reads.

Jan says, “I am both humbled and excited about the quality of books we publish, knowing that as we depend on God through His Holy Spirit, He has brought the authors and resources to our door. What a joy it is to be useful to the Kingdom.”

Jim Holmes

Jim says, “I love to say that Shepherd Press is a small publisher with a big heart. The key point to make is that Shepherd Press is committed to producing books that are life changing, but with changes being driven from the heart, that is, a heartfelt response to the truths that are written in each book.”

Jim’s role is a fairly broad-spectrum one. He has some oversight when it comes to submissions, and is also involved in several of the editing and production aspects, as well as new-idea development and strategic thinking.

Jim says, “It is stimulating work being involved with talented authors, and I love the interface with our cover designers and typesetters.”

Everything Says, “GLORY!” (Jim Albright)

Our pathways crossed some years ago when I was introduced to Jim Albright and helped him get his first book into print. We kept in contact, and some months ago, he reached out to me and mentioned he was ready to do his second book–and would I help him to do so? Well, the pleasure was all mine!

In the book, Jim Albright really does a great job to undermine and demolish some of the axiomatic beliefs of evolution. And what is so useful about it is that he uses many “insider” quotes from the evolutionists themselves in pointing out the weaknesses and inconsistencies of their assumptions and conclusions. As the blurb on the back cover of the book puts it,

In seven articulately written chapters, Jim Albright persuasively pinpoints and exposes the pseudo-scientific tenets of macro-evolutionary thinking. Replete with quotations from scientists across many disciplines, this is a book that every Christian should own. Missionary Keith Jones is right, “The best part of this book is that it will provoke you to a whole new level of worship!”

The book comes with several compelling endorsements, such as

“. . . a staggering number of relevant (often shocking) quotations from scientists and researchers.”—Professor Don Whitney
“Albright makes the case in a way that causes you to say, ‘How could it be possible to believe in evolution?’”—Pastor Jim Elliff
“. . . utilizes scientific and logical evidence to expose the lie that evolution is.”—Professor Jim Ehrhard
“My advice, dear reader, . . . sincerely contemplate what you find in these pages.”—Pastor Lance Quinn
“. . . your tongue and heart are loosed to speak what you know is true with confidence and assurance.”—Missionary Alan Johnston
“A great resource for the church . . . a layman’s synopsis.”—Pastor Brad Vaden
“. . . a treasure of quotable science.”—Pastor Dow Welsh
“Read this book closely; think deeply; observe inquisitively; worship passionately.”—Pastor Doug Richey
“The best part of this book is that it will provoke you to a whole new level of worship.”—Missionary Keith Jones

Peacock and Poppycock

My colonial and English background make me rather like the word “poppycock.” Jim uses it to good effect in some descriptive text. There is a peacock motif that runs through the book. That was really why the cover was so important to “get right.” Below is the text from some early matter in the book:

About the Cover

So, why the peacock feather on the cover? Because Charles Darwin hated it. He wrote, “The sight of a feather in a peacock’s tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!”^[i]

The obvious problem was that he did not know how to plausibly explain this large, mathematically patterned, jewel-colored, gratuitous display of beauty in evolutionary terms. A peacock tail can stand five feet high. And all those cumbersome feathers are most inconvenient regarding the chief survival-of-the-fittest issue—namely, not being eaten. This was no small dilemma for Mr. Darwin.

In keeping with his general approach to science, Darwin concocted a story. Give the man credit. He knew how to weave a narrative. This is, of course, the foremost skill of his disciples. Storytelling is far less bothersome than engaging in the exacting rigors of real science.

Darwin proposed a theory of sexual selection. That is, peahens prefer peacocks with the best tails. Best meaning, the biggest and most colorful. The gaudier the tail, Darwin surmised, the better the peacock would fare with the peahens, and consequently pass on more of the flamboyant plumage genes to male offspring.

Oops. Yeah, this doesn’t actually happen. This is where storytelling, as opposed to truly doing science, puts one in a bit of a bind. A “seven-year study that observed 268 matings”^[ii] conducted by scientists seeking to confirm Darwin’s theory, found that peacock sexual selection based upon the coolest tail, is, and sorry, I couldn’t resist borrowing Ph.D. David Catchpoole’s quote, “poppycock.”^[iii]

The “tail tale”^[iv] is the perfect parable of Darwinian evolutionary theory. It’s all just unsubstantiated anecdotes. Regarding the macro-Darwinian hypothesis, there is no hard data. Zero. But oh, what a fanciful myth of unparalleled imagination has been fabricated for the incurious and unwary!

Darwin hated the peacock feather. It makes no evolutionary sense. Exactly!

My Coffee-Cup Meditations

It All Started with a Phone Call…

I was driving at the time. Roger Ellsworth had emailed me and shared the idea of publishing some short topical articles he had written over the years for local newspapers in towns where he had ministered. His thinking was that a book of thirty or so Bible-themed reflections might be worth publishing.

Roger & Sylvia Ellsworth

“Roger, I cannot talk for long as I am driving,” I recall telling him, “but I think the readings you emailed me are brilliant. I think we should pursue these for publication. Do you think you could write more than the thirty or so you have sent me to take a look at?”

“Well, sure I could,” came his answer, his modest tones a little muffled against the background noise of my old Volvo as I drove toward Bob Jones Academy to pick up my son at the end of his school day. “Are you thinking we could make a short series?” he inquired.

“Yes, that’s the idea,” I responded as I eased my car onto Rutherford Road. “And I think we need to find a way to give the books a catchy look and feel. It’s likely that there won’t be too much of a response just to a one-off or two-off book of devotions. I think we have to make the books connect and engage.”

A day or two later, Sue and I were discussing the idea further. “We need something that will connect with the culture,” she said insightfully. “Something like coffee; could you brand them with that kind of idea?”

Well, that’s how it all started. My Coffee-Cup Meditations. We found a way to get some really nice graphics, and Roger, careful and disciplined writer that he is, soon had many more topics lined up that he could write on.

We defined the series right at the start with a strong and clear mission:

My Coffee Cup Meditations are short, easy-to-read, Bible-based devotions to help you consider God’s greatness, the wonderful gospel of Jesus, and be better equipped for life here and hereafter.

I think the series is achieving this. We are not much more than a year on from when we started, and already there are nine books in print. The final three are presently in editorial preparation and expected to release in November this year!

There is a dedicated website (another of my projects) to tell you much more about this delightful series. Visit www.mycoffeecupmeditations.com for much more information!

Counsel for the Heart

Connecting with Heart Issues

A significant measure of my time is devoted to serving Shepherd Press. Shepherd Press started a few decades ago because Tedd Tripp’s doctoral thesis from Westminster Theological Seminary–written on the nurture of children–was proving so popular the librarian was being requested to make multiple copies of the doctoral thesis. No publisher at the time really wanted to take on the book for publication, so Tedd and his wife, Margy, decided to self-publish it as Shepherding a Child’s Heart. So was born Shepherd Press.

I love the story–how they thought just a few thousand copies would be enough to satisfy the interest and demand.

But it turned out to be one of those paradigm-shifting books that incisively change people’s thinking. Since those days, more than one million copies have sold.

Shepherd Press publishes books for the heart. The books have to be gospel centered, heart focused, and life changing. And so it is that a new category or imprint has been established, a range of books that are very specific in the application of the gospel and the whole counsel of God to the hearts of individuals. As we thought and prayed about this, it seemed good to define the category in this way:

Resources for Word-Based Transformation and Practical Discipleship

We’ve kicked off with three books so far–one by Paul Tautges, Discipling the Flock, one by Joel James, Counsel with Confidence, and an important book written by two ladies, Sue Nicewander and Maria Brookins, titled Treasure in the Ashes–Our Journey Home from the Ruins of Sexual Abuse.

Each of these books is significant in its own way. Paul’s addresses the nurture and care of the flock is an urgent appeal to return to authentic discipleship; it is a call to shepherds to be tenacious in their preaching of the whole counsel of God, and tender in their application of its truth to the lives of God’s sheep through their personal ministry. There is more info HERE.

I’ve also known and respected Joel for a long time. I first met him at the commencement of his ministry in South Africa, so, when he presented the idea of a book of applied Bible references to guide counselors, I was immediately excited! The book is described briefly in these terms: a book to guide counselors and church leaders in being well informed and to help them bring about heart-based change in the lives of the people they counsel, through the right application of Scripture. Find out more HERE.

Sue Nicewander & Maria Brookins

Sue and Maria are deeply caring authors who write with insight and compassion on a difficult topic. Their book is soon to be released. Here is a short description of it:

Treasure in the Ashes is an interactive book that gently leads readers on a biblical journey through the grueling questions and doubt, emotional turmoil, and relational fallout that follow sexual abuse. It encourages honest and thorough Christ-centered discipleship through the aftermath of sexual abuse, addressing hard questions and painful issues that are feared and often denied by the Christian community. People using this resource will…

Learn to push against shame by giving voice to their stories in a safe setting;
Address doubts and questions they harbor about God, and learn to consider Scripture’s rich, bold worldview on the subject;
Apply the gospel of Jesus Christ and learn the importance of His character and grace-filled sacrifice to them personally;
Be introduced to a biblical self-image, and challenged to gain hope by defining themselves and their purpose in Christ;
Learn how to apply the gospel to their relationships with four basic biblical principles;
Learn to embrace their story as part of the larger story of redemption and reach out to others with the hope of Jesus.

Thinking About Christmas in September

“May I Wish You a Merry Christmas Right Now?”

“No, it’s too soon,” I think I hear you respond.

Really? Why’s that? Aren’t you concerned to celebrate the wonder of

th’eternal, contracted to a span
incomprehensibly made man

(the couplet is from a hymn by Wesley)? God was revealed in the flesh. Do you know that? Do your neighbors know that? Do your fellow workers understand the implications of that? Do your family members have it in their brains that Christ “made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:7-8)?

In 2016, Roger Ellsworth and I consulted on some writing he had done on the Christmas theme, and together we came up with the idea of The Twelve Days of Christmas–Morning and Evening Thoughts on Immanuel: God with Us. We edited and compiled it into twenty-four readings on Bible-based themes woven into short, easy-to-read chapters, and people love them!

Customization and Special Price Deals!

The project is run in affiliation with SermonAudio.com. We describe the mission of the project in these words:

The Twelve Days of Christmas is a small, easy-to-read book written in short sections. Its aim is to help the hearts and minds of believers to focus on the wonder of the incarnation, as well as to encourage unbelievers to come in repentance and faith to Christ.

This is the third year we are running this promotion, and, to celebrate our third anniversary, we are adding some different covers to choose from, and we are also making the whole offer online so you can choose exactly which cover or covers you would like to get, and which underlying Bible version quotes should be used in the books you order. Check it out on the designated website, www.twelvedaysofchristmas.net.

I have shared about this project before, and you could read more HERE and HERE.

This has to be one of the most fascinating sites you can visit. I like to view two sites simultaneously (or, rather, to toggle between them):

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload gives a real-time earth view from the orbiting station
http://www.isstracker.com/ enables you to plot exactly where the station is, and what part of the globe you are currently viewing.

What is really neat about the second link is that you can zoom the view and also get a map or hybrid view. And you can observe the velocity and altitude (in miles!) of the craft!

Psalm 111:2 “The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.”

Psalm 24:1,2 “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.”

The Car That Can Fly

Maverick in flight

This is about Steve Saint, son of Nate Saint (remember the account of Jim Elliot, murdered in the early 1950s, by the Auca Indians in Ecuador?). View the YouTube video below of Steve’s invention.

(Jim Elliot famously said, “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”)

This is a fine example of endeavor driven by a real and practical need on the one hand, and a zest to bring the message of God’s love and grace, in practical terms, to people out of normal and easy reach.

Come to think of it, to buy a flying car for a price ticket of around $80,000 sounds quite good!

A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD

Moses was a remarkable man. Born in days of danger, and yet early in life secured—even cocooned—in luxury, he might have lived a life of opulence and hedonism. And yet God so worked in his life and circumstances that he became aware of his calling not to be indulged in the privileged position of a son of the palace in Egypt, and with the very likely opportunities that would come his way from that, but to choose mistreatment along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the short-term pleasures of sin. His words are recorded in Psalm 90 (“A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God”) in which he sketched and summarized the brevity of life on this earth.

Only as we are in a reconciled and saving relationship with God through the person and work of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, can we truly learn to number our days aright and so apply our hearts to wisdom. It was in the fulness of time that God sent forth His Son to be the redeemer of sinners such as we are, and to bring us into His family in a relationship of adoption and privilege. May this be wonderfully true for us all as we move into 2018 and as we endeavor to live well for Him who lived, died, and rose again for us whose faith and only hope is in Him.
