Trampling on Liberty
Back in July, Barack Obama promised he would if elected president rescind any executive orders that “trample on liberty.” As I tell my kids, don’t believe a single thing a politician says during the campaign, because–unlike the way things work out here in the real world–you can’t sue a politician for not making good on […]

The proof copy of my dad’s memoir arrived today: Can You See God in This Picture?: A Letter to My Sons Making Sense of 25 Years as a Pastor. Because I’m an author and publisher, my father asked me to read through and edit the manuscript, […]

Friday Snippet: Kick the Pastor Out of the Church
Another snippet from my dad John King’s memoir Can You See God in This Picture, this time a particulary painful chapter in my own memory. Unlike many Christian memoirs, this is not a book full of feel-good experiences. It’s not always “Praise God!” and miracles, because that’s not life. As Dad said to me: [In […]
Friday Snippet: Back to Butler, PA to Teach Biblical Greek
Here’s a snippet from my dad John King’s memoir Can You See God in This Picture. This is part of the story of our life in Butler, PA. At the time, I was just a few years old, so I don’t really remember these stories first-hand. I’m glad Dad wrote them down before he ran […]
How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Book?
A friend of mine emailed and asked: If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it cost you to publish your book (or your dad’s)? You seem to be doing all of the important things that subsidy presses do and probably at considerable savings. I’m still refining my publishing process, and I don’t intend […]
