A Platform For Christians With A Message
I don't know about you, but I'm not impressed when certain TV personalities write books that make the NY Times best seller list. Frankly, any book spoken about in flattering terms by the "mutual admiration group" on national television during prime time is a "shoe in" to make the list because it only takes a minimum of 5,000 book sales in a week to accomplish that.
So, if you're like Judy or me, and don't currently have a highly rated, prime time TV show, but do have a message birthed in the heart of God that needs to be distributed far and wide, we may have the perfect solution.
We are looking for the warriors among us, who like Zebulon of old are "fitted with all kinds of weapons and instruments of war that could order and set the battle in array." It was said of them that they were not double hearted or of double purpose, but were stable and trustworthy. (1 Chronicles 12:33 AMPC) Allow me to introduce you to a very powerful instrument of war...
The pen is mightier than the sword
We recognize that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4)
One of the ways we pull down strongholds and cast down arguments is by making our case in writing, where we can lay out Scripture and cogent thoughts inspired by the Holy Spirit, and drawn from the very mind of Christ. Isn't that what we see in the writings of Paul and the apostles?
And by the way, we refer to their writings as "the book of James" or "the book of Ephesians", etc. but those weren't books. They were letters, some longer than others, but none of them were what we think of today as "books".
And yet it was those concise and powerful writings that changed the course of human history. Those writers of old were focused on the message God gave them, not getting on some best seller list.
Fast forward about 1500 years...
It was Martin Luther who upended the tyrannical church of the day with a plethora of short, provocative books and pamphlets that electrified German society in the early 1500's.
He didn't raise an army - he lifted his pen.
He didn't throw molotov cocktails - he lit the culture on fire with inspired rhetoric.
While much of today's church is focused on our exit strategy, (more emphasis on exit than strategy), Jesus has an occupation strategy and is focused on the harvest.

We are redefining the publishing space and breaking free from the limitations of the status quo. I know a little about this. When I started Hidden Manna Publishing back in 1988, and published my own manuscript The Bible Incorporated - In Your Life, Job & Business, the industry turned their noses up at my book because I was "nobody". I had no following. I was a complete unknown.
But God gave me a confidence and a strategy. Whereas most books never sell more than 5,000 copies in their lifetime, we sold our first 25,000 copies in about 8 months! Sales have exceeded 400,000 copies and it has become one of the best selling Christian business books of all time!
In 1991, we released Psalm 91 - The Ultimate Shield and sold our first 25,000 copies in just three weeks with zero support from the "big boys". Within 60 days, we had eclipsed the 100,000 mark in sold books, easily qualifying for the NY Times best seller list - if they had wanted to acknowledge it.
But folks, the publishing business is a rigged game. And we're about to upset that apple cart!
A lot has changed in the world of publishing. We are in the age of digital marketing, landing pages, link sharing, social media, affiliate marketing, etc. And we have a plan for unifying hundreds of God's warriors who carry the message and heart of God and want to be part of fulfilling Psalm 68:11 which says, "God gave the Word and great (in number) was the army that published (proclaimed, preached, announced) it".
We are going to turn the industry on its head. And it's going to be fun and culture altering. Do you have a message that God wants to release that could impact the culture? It doesn't have to be a full blown book. It can be any number of expressions including short books, articles, blogs, memes, videos, even podcasts or an interview on one of our podcasts.
The key to our success will be like the mighty tribe of Zebulon. They were like-hearted and they kept rank. In other words, they fought "as one" using a variety of weapons and skills. They looked out for each other.
Together we are going to unleash a tsunami of revelation and truth that if released separately may never get noticed, but when part of something bigger than itself, cannot be ignored.
Together we will utilize every tool and weapon to propagate the gospel, the greatest message to ever grace the ears of man.
Working together we will capture territory on old media and new. Content providers that we approve for publication will join with all our other content providers in "getting the word out", and together we will impact the culture and do our part in bringing in the harvest!
Time is of the essence.
