Turning your sermons into a powerful ministry resource
We help pastors and church leaders share the gospel and reach more people by crafting their sermons into a professionally written book.
As a pastor, you face a lot of questions in your ministry. How can you reach people outside of your church? How can you engage your church members and connect them with God longer than just the Sunday morning service?
A book provides a tangible resource you can give people to take home with them. It’s not a web link, and it’s not an email—it’s something people can hold and touch, underline and write in.
Books are an incredible way to connect people with God.
But if you decide that writing a book is the right step for your ministry, where do you start? How do you find the time?
This is why we created our Sermon to Book service. As a pastor, you spend many hours preparing and preaching your sermons. Sermon to Book enables you to maximize your time by using the work you’ve already done. We take your sermon notes and transcriptions and help you build them into a professional, powerful resource.
3 Tiers
To adapt to the unique needs of your ministry, we’ve created 3 tiers within Sermon to Book.
Tier 1
In this tier, an experienced editor polishes the sermon transcriptions to adapt them for the written medium. To accomplish this, the editor smooths out the sentence structure, weaves in transitions, clarifies awkward or confusing sentences, and removes content unnecessary or confusing for the book’s audience. The editor also guides the pastor to help him write an effective introduction and conclusion and identifies areas where the pastor needs to clarify the content.
Recommended for pastors who:
- Need a book specifically for their own church or for smaller groups
Tier 2
This tier uses the transcriptions as the foundation to build the content into a complete, professional, high-quality book. A skilled content editor creates a full review of the sermon transcripts, providing detailed recommendations for the content and structure so that the book can reach its full potential. The editor then provides feedback to the author’s completed manuscript, and polishes the wording and sentence structure of the book once the content is finalized.
Recommended for pastors who:
- Need a well-crafted trade book for a wider audience
- Have the time to write additional content themselves
Tier 3
This tier also builds the content into a complete, professional, high-quality book, but the focus of Tier 3 is to maximize the pastor’s time. Our editor first creates detailed recommendations to bring the book to its full potential, then interviews the pastor to pull the content needed for the book. The editor then builds the pastor’s wording into a full book and polishes the wording and sentence structure of the book. Once the manuscript is complete, the pastor reviews the book to ensure communicates his vision exactly.
Recommended for pastors who:
- Need a well-crafted trade book for a wider audience
- Do not have the time to write additional content themselves
