Pastor, helper, friend, thinker, innovator, student, prolific source of IT information and unofficial tech support for many bloggers across America, David Phillips has added a new title to his resume: author. The recently published Kept is a devotional commentary on the book of Jude. Very readable at a scant 80 pages, Phillips uses a mix of scholarship and easily accessible teaching to explore this sometimes enigmatic penultimate book of the canon.
Included is David’s own translation of the book of Jude, which, paragraph by paragraph, also serves as the intro to each chapter. I would recommend this book to any lay person as a short intro to Jude or to a pastor looking for a supplement to his own study series. It is available at Missional Press Story for a mere $7.49 through the end of October.
As an aside, Publishing Mogul should also be added to the list of David’s titles as Missional Press is his own brainchild. If you are considering publishing an academic work, commentary or book otherwise missionally aligned, but have been put off by the daunting prospect of a bunch of money up front, consider Missional Press. The book that I am co-authoring, Journeys, will be released by Missional in the upcoming months and I have been very impressed with the process and the product. Check it out.
Man, thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. I can’t wait to get your book in the publishing process!

Maybe I’ll look into this for my book. I already have a working title, “Jack Chick: The Appendix of the Body of Christ”.

Thanks for the info, Marty. Now joined up and purchased. It has been one of my “things to do” to put my stuff into a manuscript form and start seeking publishers… hmmm.
