After ghostwriting and editing more than 300 published books, several which have become national bestsellers, Neil Eskelin, publisher of LifeBridge Books, has announced a major expansion of the 12-year-old company to help pastors turn their sermon series into nationally distributed books.

Says Eskelin, “There are outstanding messages being preached in pulpits every week that deserve to reach a much wider audience.” He believes the biggest hurdle most pastors face is that they don’t have time to write. By working with sermon transcripts, LifeBridge creates the initial professional manuscript and the pastor becomes the editor. He adds, “We carry the project through to typesetting, cover design, and read-to-print files. This shaves the production time down from months to weeks.”

Pastors are using this service to create products that will either (1) become self-published books, (2) be presented to a publisher, or (3) be considered for national distribution by LifeBridge Books.

In addition to the books Eskelin produces for major ministries, his self-authored books have sold over one million copies, including, “The 24-Hour Turn-Around” (Fleming H. Revell) and “Yes Yes Living In A No No World” (LifeBridge). ”
