Not just Galatians but James as well!
In mid-March, we will be launching a new Kickstarter but, SURPRISE, it’s not just going to be for Galatians but James as well! These will be two separate books but we’ll be funding them together. You’ll be able to combine the postage and you will receive them before they are released (up to 6 months in advance!)
The next time you get this email it will be to inform you that this Kickstarter is live.
Our planned launch date is:
Tuesday March 18th 2pm UK/9am EST
Have your say: Covers
On Monday, I’ll be posting about the cover design for Galatians and asking for your feedback and opinions. To be part of the conversation be sure to follow here:

Order Pre-release Esther NIV now!
Be among the first to get your hands on the new Esther NIV comic! In March this new version of The Book of Esther will hit the shops worldwide but our loyal subscribers can receive it first!
The books will be available to ship out next week and should be with you shortly after. Now you can combine Esther with your other USA and Canada orders.
This edition features the NIV translation and is the same size and colour as the other NIV editions in the series (in case you have a WEB version).
Great Commission Game: Update
We’ve recently decided to step up the timetable for the game and we’ve been working flat out to iron out any little issues we found in playtesting, embracing the suggestions of the playtesters and generally improving the design. All the cards have Bible verses and are tightened up with consistent language on each.
NEW TTS VERSION: The new digital version is now available for all our backers to access on Tabletop Simulator. You’ll find the link on our exclusive discord and your backer updates.
We really think we are getting closer to the end of development now, and we’d love as many backers as possible to test it out on TTS and provide us with feedback, please.
More real-life playtesting with the cards (which have been over-written in pen)…
Skies of Belief TTRPG
Here’s a brief reminder that if you like Roleplaying Games we’ve got a project on the boil. We’ve just had the Kickstarter page approved as “Coming soon”, so you can read more about it and the system mechanics here:
In the image are the people of the regions dubbed the Ravines, a caste-based warrior culture that inhabits deep narrow canyons to protect them from the blazing sun. They perceive the Goddess to live high above and hold birds as sacred. Feathers dropped to the ground bless those who discover them but to kill a bird brings a great malediction. Confined by cliffs into tight living spaces, family and community are important elements of this culture, while individualism is anathema to society's values. People acting without honour will bring shame to themselves and their family.
We are not doing the Kickstarter for this until Autumn, but I’d like to build up the following now in anticipation! So, please follow the project here:
Prayer Requests
Distribution: Getting the books and games stored and sent out is a big part of the business. We have potential global partners considering working with us, so please pray that God can help us improve how we are doing things worldwide.
Influencing Influencers: We are planning an influencer campaign in March, please pray those that we’ve contacted will be keen to help.
Other Languages: The London Books Fair is in March. Please pray we seal the deal on some alternative language rights!
Audiobible Idea: We’ve submitted an official proposal to the licence holders of the NIV audiobibles and are awaiting their reply, so it’s a great time to pray!
