Why Book Reviewers Love WinePress Titles
We received this e-mail from Mary, a blogger who often reviews books published by WinePress.
While posting a recommendation on Marysworld for the book Noah (Pleasant Word), I realized why I enjoy reviewing for WinePress so much. In the write-up for Noah, WinePress has written, “Noah is permeated with biblical truth.”
Not only do I review pre- and post-print books, I also edit Christian manuscripts for authors/potential authors on a freelance basis. The type of editing I do is strictly content as it relates to developing characters and the plot to bring out central Christian/Biblical truths. My mantra and personal endeavor is to bring the face of spiritual truths to fictional characters.
Christian fiction has to be more than just entertainment or religious sensationalism and it really bothers me to see some manuscripts make it to print that, in the end, did nothing to promote change or encourage a deeper relationship with God. It has nothing to do with doctrine and everything to do with showing and not only telling what the love of God really is and can do. Christian fiction is a great vehicle for representing these truths.
WinePress is an authority on this. Your books have such depth and upon finishing them, the reader knows they have been presented with a challenge to dig deeper and become a better person. Your authors know how to integrate central truths and those things that are eternal without being preachy.
Not only Noah, but all of your books are “permeated with biblical truth.” Working with many (Christian) publishers and authors over the last few years has taught me that the word Christian holds little meaning in some circles and it’s refreshing to see a publisher not compromise, but stand firm in its ethics by refusing to lower their standards.
You are the epitome of a Christian publisher and I really appreciate the opportunity I’ve been given to have a part in representing and promoting your authors.
