Our Statement of Faith
We believe in one God in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Creator of all things. We believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood. We believe in His resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future return in power and glory. We believe the Bible is the true and holy Word of God. We believe the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth. We believe that the Kingdom of God is made up of people of every age, and from every language, people, tribe and nation, unified by our faith in Christ.
Why Dernier Publishing?
Janet Wilson, founder of Dernier Publishing, says,
“I noticed a lack of excellent, relevant, fun stories written from a Christian worldview, when my own children were younger. I thought, someone ought to do something about that! At the back of my mind, I always thought that perhaps I was that person, but it wasn’t until my first husband died suddenly in 2003, that I realised that if there was a job to do I had better get on with it, because none of us knows how long we have.
So I set up Dernier Publishing, beginning with my own novels, so I didn’t ruin anyone else’s stories while I was on a sharp learning curve! Now we have a growing list of authors and titles.”
We are committed to providing you with excellent, relevant fun novels to inspire your children, teens and young adults in their faith.
Could there be anything more important than that?
Too many children are leaving the church, and way too many more are growing up without hearing the good news of Jesus.
There may come a time when we are unable to legally publish and give away Christian books to children. What if we filled the world with Christian books now? What if every Christian family had a shelf full of inspiring books, written from a Christian perspective? What if every church bought books for all the children who come through their doors? What if every child had access to books that would inspire them to walk with Jesus?
But why stories? Well, Jesus told stories!
Stories captivate our souls… and stories are fun.
Stories allow us to consider issues, and come to our own decisions. Stories don’t judge us, make us feel guilty, or push us into things.
We can read them at our own pace and in our own time, and they remain with us long after we have finished reading them.
Books can become friends to spend time with, over and over again.
With your gift, readers can join the characters as they fly to faraway places, solve crimes, find treasure, defeat evil, travel back in time, catch spies, save animals, escape to safety…
They can also learn that they have a Father in heaven who cares for them, that God answers prayer, that he has a plan for them, that they are unique and beautiful, that their life has meaning – that it’s great to be a Christian!
Here’s what you need to do now:
- 1. Make a list of children on your heart
- 2. Choose and order your books for them
- 3. Pray for the readers.
Don’t put it off… our young people’s faith is too important. A book can be a vital link on a journey to faith.
The more books you share, the greater the blessing!
