The Devil is a Lie
I have worked with many authors over the past few years and on more than one occasion I was asked "When are you going to start publishing books?" My quick response was always..."the devil is a lie". We'd laugh and I would avoid another inquire. Sidestepping another person seeking my assistance with launching their purpose, their calling.
I now realize that sitting in the publishers seat was inevitable because I love reading and I had a call on my life that I had to answer--sooner or later. I clearly recall a bible verse that says God's thinking is nothing like ours. Well, my time of dodging and avoiding would soon come to an end.
I found myself locked in time--stuck between my past and future. I was an author with a completed manuscript; however, I didn't want to place my "baby" in the hands of just anyone. I prayed for God to reveal what I should do. Should I shelf the book or do the one thing that I'd avoided for at nearly three years?
While reading my bible one night I came across a verse:

While reading my bible one night I came across a verse:
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." (Proverbs 19:21)
I paused. My past responses had been of my own heart. Not once had I sought God's guidance or spoke with Him regarding the direction I should take.
I could go down a long list of "whys?", but they would be of little relevance because I stopped running. I decided to launch a publishing company, but I couldn't do it alone...could I?
I called up an author, a friend, that asked me to publish her book almost three years prior. We talked and I shared my dilemma. We prayed together and I soon learned that she was still waiting on me. "For what?" I asked. "To accept your calling," she said.

God is Good...
Proverbs 19:21 was the verse that set my new life in motion. Thus, I thought it was only fitting to use it to launch Purpose Prevails Publishing. My plans are to begin looking at manuscripts after the new year, but for now there are several titles scheduled for release through Summer 2011. (Stay tuned for coming releases.)
Reaching Your Mind, Body, and Spirit
I'm an avid reader and I read in nearly every genre (i.e., romance, nonfiction, christian nonfiction, suspense, etc.). The titles at Purpose Prevails Publishing are not limited in scope; however, I want readers to have access to entertaining books that will reach their mind, body, and spirit. As a result, I plan to release fiction and nonfiction books. I want you to have juicy fiction reads that will have you running to your book clubs, and spiritually filling books that will have you striving to strengthen your relationship with God.
Not Like the Rest
I have been trusted with so much on this journey and so...you should expect the unexpected. I am working with variety of authors from people that are branching out their ministries to novice fiction writers. There are conferences and speaking events booked, interviews arranged, and new titles in production. But in every step I know that my plans are nothing compared to God's.
