    Soul Searching in Seoul

    - By 

    Maybe I should just write a book. It would be a very long book. However, I would not be the first Xulon Press employee to take the initiative and get published through the company. At least five Xulon employees are or soon will be Xulon authors—from short children’s stories to computer skills books by a former teacher to adult fiction about finding lost brothers. As you can see, Christian publishing cannot be limited. We see just as many genres and types of writing here as any other publisher. There is a unique story behind every book. My story, as I…

    The Makings of a Mother

    - By 

    When I was in the editorial meeting for planning upcoming blog topics and we arrived at the idea of a Mother’s Day post, Xulon Press author Mary Oksman came to mind like a flash of lightning. I came into contact with Mary because I was assigned to fulfill the editorial service she purchased as well as write her custom Press Release. What a blessing it was to interact with her, answer her questions and learn about her life. Mary is a Registered Dietician and Certified Diabetes Educator. In addition to working with the mentally ill and developmentally disabled, she has…
