Windows on My Work: Shepherd Press
I like to describe Shepherd Press as a small publisher with a big heart. Its aim is to produce books that have three qualifying criteria:
- They must be gospel centered.
- They must address the heart of the reader;
- They must be life changing.
I have shared the story before about how Shepherd Press started in light of the need to find a publisher for the doctoral thesis Tedd Tripp (pictured here) had written on child nurture–nurture rather than simple modification of behavior, something rather prevalent in counseling at the time–and how the book became a snap success, eventually exceeding more than one million copies in print and translated into numerous languages throughout the world.
My involvement with Shepherd Press goes back a few years to when I was asked if I could help in some projects that were under consideration. The inception of the LifeLine mini-books proved a catalyst around that time and it was with delight that an association got underway between us, one that has seen my involvement in the evaluation of manuscripts submitted, and also my oversight of some editing and production matters.
There are numerous books in preparation right now, and some that are just about to launch.
A catalog is available and I encourage you to take a look at it HERE as well as to visit the Shepherd Press website and sign up for the newsletter.
