• Velocity Conference 2014

    Here at Xulon Press, one of the most exciting things we get to do is grow our relationships and partnerships with pastors, church leaders and the groups that support them. Before I became the Director of Sales and Acquisitions at Xulon Press, I was not only a pastor, but also a pioneering church planter with the vision of reaching people for Christ and His glory.

  • Pastors, Leaders and the Power of Books in Ministry

    Over the past few weeks, Xulon Press has participated in several events that were focused on reaching out to and connecting with pastors and church leaders. These events have given us the opportunity to hear the heart of church leaders and the ability to see how we can partner with them, accomplishing their goals for both their ministry and their book. Before I became the Sales Manager at Xulon Press, I was a church planter and a pastor for almost 20 years.  I know firsthand what it is like to lead a congregation and yet still yearn to do more. I have always been convinced that God…
