Our New Family Business
By Kathy Pollard
For a few years now Neal and I have been playing around with the idea of self-publishing. That dream was realized about three months ago with the launch of our new business, Life and Favor Publishing. Even with all of our planning, there were still some surprises. First, we didn’t realize how MUCH we’d have to learn (and still do). Second, we were thrilled to discover that our grown kids wanted to be involved. From editing and formatting to designing a cover and building a website, they’ve all played a part in bringing our first project to life.
We had our first book printed in October. Neal’s book is a practical study of Jesus’ ministry life…how He interacted with others, found balance in life, put His Father’s will first, and more.
The moment Neal held the finished product in his hands felt a little surreal for both of us. God is so good! We have other book projects in the works, and it’s our prayer that each one will encourage the readers.
I’ve also been having some fun handcrafting “book accessories.” We now have velvet bookmarks, journal charms, and Bible case zipper charms (my favorite because I love the way they feel…cool and smooth)!
If you’re interested in a copy of Neal’s book or any of the book accessories, you can find them at Life and Favor Family Publishing. For updates and news, you can follow our facebook page.
We found it slightly terrifying to share something with the world that we made ourselves, but helpful family, supportive friends, and lots of prayer made this venture an exciting new chapter!
