What the world needs is another blog, and more books from independent publishers, right? Well, actually in this case, yes. It does. Why?
Publishing, as most people understand, is a business. It is also gate-kept in various ways since certain messages are deemed appropriate to potentially reach mass audiences while other messages are often cast aside. One can learn much about a civilization from the stories they choose not to tell.
An aspiring publisher, if they wish to undertake an independent path, must learn desktop publishing programs, various internet technology stacks, printing limitations and terminologies—and oh yeah, and this is all before a contract with something that is considered publish-worthy.
A big problem with publishing about anything religious is that the most gate-kept area and most probable to be cut from achieving fiscal stability is likely to be spiritual in nature—that is—if what you are writing is not some New Age cult designed to make yourself and others rich. If it involves the Bible and prophecy, more than likely one will be dealing with a specific subset of publishers with established audiences. We have come along from Freedom of the Press and Great Awakening sermons printed by Benjamin Franklin at Philadelphia.
So, somebody has to do something about that, and in this case, Beit Eshel Publications has decided, once again, to undertake some experimental publishing and financing methods to try to carry forth its mission of reaching out to Lost Israel and preparing it with a firm foundation concerning the spiritual struggle that is currently before it. Therefore, Fellowship of the Way Books has been born. Stay tuned in, turned on, and do not drop out of this one.
The epubs here are available by donation of at least five dollars. More updates and developments are on the way.
