About Us

This unique web site is our way of encouraging you in your Christian walk. It is our way to say, "Press on. Keep running the race. There are joys, unspeakable and glorious in this life, and a crown of righteousness in the life to come." In addition to our online book store, you will find numerous articles from our staff and authors, and a regularly updated blog that will provide a forum for ongoing discussion of issues of parenting and Christian living.

Shepherd Press is committed to provide God's people with solid biblical books and materials. There are tons of Christian self-help books available. Sadly, many books, containing tips and good ideas for Christian living, leave the reader unsatisfied.  The resources on this web site have two qualities that make them unique and spiritually satisfying. (1) They focus on heart issues rather than performance issues. We all know that it is possible to master some Christian performance skills without experiencing internal change. We long for authentic change that works from the inside out. The resources you will find here focus on the "abundance of the heart", not just performance. (2) The material you will find here maintain the centrality of the gospel. The gospel is richer than simply knowing my sins are forgiven and I am going to heaven (as indescribably wonderful as that is). The message of the gospel includes not just forgiveness of sin, but also radical, internal transformation and empowerment to live in the ways God calls us to live.

At Shepherd Press we look for materials that serve both of these ends. They will enable us to identify the idols of the heart that pollute our service to Christ, keeping us mired in confusion, unable to obey God. They will also encourage us that we can "do all things through Christ who gives [us] strength." Remember the gospel is for Christians. We daily repent and cast ourselves on the abundant grace of Jesus Christ.

It is our prayer and expectation that the things you find here will help you identify and respond to areas of personal and family need with the certain hope of grace and empowerment from God.
