Why We Do the Things We Do...

Since Literature Ministries began in 1996 we have created tools to enable Christians to minister more effectively in areas that lack strategic evangelism or discipleship resources. We call this “kingdom strategy”—publishing what we believe uniquely benefits the kingdom of God in today’s world, not duplicating what is already being done.

That strategy encourages us to produce practical discipleship resources for men, teenagers, and families struggling with issues caused by pornography and a sex-saturated society. It’s the reason we publish handbooks for personal purity for men and for teenage boys.

And when we found a huge gap in evangelism materials that show Catholics how they can find salvation through faith in Christ alone, “kingdom strategy” pointed us to create quality tracts to begin to fill the void. LMI tracts for Catholics have since found readers in the US, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, and Australia.

We also maintain a vital web ministry in order to have all our publications online so they can be read any time, anywhere on earth, and ordered if desired. Within that site is another example of our approach to issues—the S.A.F.E. Site (www.thesafesite.org). It’s an online resource that features the texts of our booklets on sexual purity, an excellent Internet filter for personal and family safe surfing, an accountability program, and two unique LMI screen savers. Also online are downloadable resources to help leaders and parents teach principles of biblical purity to groups.

We promote two devotionals that encourage discipleship and godly living around the world. “Walking with God” is taken from the writings of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and “Dare to Believe!” is written by retired businessman Ed Powell. We deliver these free devotionals by email to thousands of readers on six continents.

Finally, beginning in our first months in existence we have made ourselves available to like-minded ministries to advise, write, edit, design, and print resources that will expand their effectiveness. This consulting and partnering role has enabled us to leverage our capabilities and calling through strengthening the ministry of others in the US and abroad!

All that to say…at Literature Ministries we’re intent on being strategic in addressing vital 21st century issues. In short, it’s publishing with purpose!
