Preparing the Way Publishers (PTWP) has been publishing the writings of Nate and Joanne Krupp for over ten years. In the past two years they have teamed up with LightningSource, the world's largest digital printer, and expanded to also begin publishing the writings of others. (Lightning is a twin company with Ingram Books, the world's largest book distributor, and Spring Arbor, the world's largest Christian book distributor.)Our first publications, of interest to home church folks, by writers other than the Krupps included -
"Restoring the Vision of the End-Times Church" by Vern Kuenzi This is no typical book on how to improve the church. This is a very strong word to the Body of Christ on what's ahead for God's people. As a theological-Biblical treatise it is the best exposition I have seen on the subject of the Church and end-times. But it is more than that - it is a major prophetic word to the Church about her future - a warning that days of persecution and suffering are ahead. But that persecution and suffering is set in the context of God's glory and eternal purpose - and a Church with great purity, authority, power, and anointing. ISBN 1-929451-01-6 252 pages $14.95
"The Church in the House" by Robert Fitts, Sr. This is another classic on the subject of home church. Evangelize the world quickly by planting millions of house churches every-where - this book tells you how. Earlier editions of this book have already gone around the world. We are thrilled to be able to publish this new, revised edition. ISBN 1-929451-07-5 116 pages $9.95
"God's Word Puts the Wind in My Sails" by Joanne Bachran. A guide to knowing GOD and His Word, it is full of helpful, basic material for all believers, especially new Christians. A reference guide, Bible study, personal devotional, and journal - all rolled into one. A personal compass for a more intimate relationship with God. Very useful!
