Published By Parables

 Introduction

      Thank you for considering Published By Parables as your publisher and book distribution partner. We’re committed to doing all that we can to provide the greatest opportunity for success for you and your book. Through our distribution partnerships your book can be delivered to the world’s most recognized retailers and libraries allowing you to reach more readers than possible just a few short years ago. Best of all, Published By Parables will guide you through the complete process – all we ask is that you honor our Statement of Faith and Our Mission – then upload your content for your book.  

Our Mission

Our primary mission is to publish Contemporary and Classic Christian books from an evangelical perspective that honor Christ and promote the values and virtues of His Kingdom.

As the post-modern church enters the early years of a new millennium Truth is being shaped, reshaped, and shifted devastatingly by the tumultuous winds of a culture in spiritual chaos. In the storm center of swirling spiritual confusion stands the people of God and under the churches ministry umbrella? -- the people entrusted to the churches care -- both inside of and outside of the church.

More than a few publishers under banner of Christ accept and publish manuscripts that are contrary to the clear teaching of Scripture.  We do not accept nor do we publish material dealing with subjects that are contrary to Scripture.  We do not publish books dealing with the occult, New Age belief, pornography and/or other subjects condemned by Scripture. 

Published By Parables is not the only book publisher, and certainly not the only Christian book publisher in the publishing arena.  We are strongly convinced, however, that if God has called you to write a book you best serve the interests of God’s kingdom by inviting fellow believers in the publishing industry to help you get your book published. We would like to be your partner in publishing your book.  If you do not sense His leadership toward Published By Parables – we urge you to consider another Christian publisher to publish your book. 

Statement Of Faith

The Bible is the indisputable, indestructible, indispens-able Word of God! It reveals the Truth about who we are; the Truth about what we have; and the Truth about what we can do.  It is the inerrant, infallible, Divinely inspired Word of God! Inerrant, because it is pure Truth, without mixture of error. Infallible, because it is the authoritative standard, the Truth about all matters pertaining to faith and practice – and life. Divinely inspired, because it is the very breath, the very Word, the very Truth of God Who cannot lie!

God is one, one in substance, one in nature, one in being -- yet exists as three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the one and the only begotten Son of God who died for our sins and literally arose from the dead. 

People are made in the image of God but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  Forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life are available through repentance (turning away from something – our sin) and faith (turning toward and receiving Someone) Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Editorial Services

     We do not provide editorial services such as proofreading, editing for content, or making font alterations. Your digital file must be “print ready” and sent in accordance with the digital file submission instructions provided in this document so as to eliminate production problems during the printing process.

      We understand the value of a dollar; know the importance of producing a quality product; and publish what we publish for the glory of God. 

     We believe that in any worthwhile endeavor there is a part that is God’s that we cannot do (God always does His part); and, there is a part that is ours that God will not do.  We must do our part.  In like manner, there is a part that the publisher must do and there is a part that the author must do.  There are things that Published By Parables can do that we have chosen not to do – such as provide hit and miss pre-assembled publishing packages.
