As Sovereign Grace enters its 53rd year, I am once again sitting here and pondering the future of SGP and its related companies’ ministries.  We have been blessed to serve our Lord and Master for all these years. With the help of customers and supporters like you, we have accomplished much and God-willing hope to accomplish even more. 

As many of you may now for the past six months I have been speaking with many of you on the phone or in e-mails to try and explain why the KJ3 isn’t available yet or why this other project isn’t completed. At times the expected delivery dates we give seem to be a complete fabrication or falsehood but when I give those dates, I truly believe they are realistic and that we can come close to meeting them but alas this or that happened and the date(s) again needed advancing or the funds didn’t become available to meet the delivery date. In speaking to one supporter the other day, he stated that proof that what we are doing is worthwhile is the fact that Satan keeps blocking everything we do. Maybe the expected dates partly come from my optimistic side and a complete and firm belief that God will provide what we need when we need it but the truth remains I believe those dates when I give them. Maybe it is because God has his own time-table and I am trying to accelerate it. What ever the reason, I accept what happens and continue to plod along doing the best the Lord allows me to do with what the Lord provides us to do with and realize that we are working under His timetable, not ours.

We are constantly hampered by a lack of funds necessary for us to timely complete the projects we have undertaken and often relying upon donations and prepaid pre-publication orders from our customers and supporters to complete those projects. This worked well back in the 1960’s through the late 1990’s, but doesn’t seem to work as well in this century. There has been a loss of donor dollars for most non-profits and ministries due to a flurry of competition for donor dollars and a loss of disposable income. In addition, our performance of late has caused a lack of confidence which has reduced your willingness to “prepay” your orders.

A prime example is the KJ3 – Literal Translation Bible. Please remember back last winter when I gave you the latest update and stated that the expected delivery would be in March 2006 and then in May 2006, I also said that we had to raise an additional $15,000 + or – to pay the printers the balance of their money prior to the Bibles being shipped. We have sold over 1,300 of these to our loyal customers and supporters which is enough to pay for the printing and delivery of the Bibles. But because many elected the “charge when shipped” option and not the “prepaid” option for their orders, and another party ordered 600 copies but wants to be invoiced or pay upon his receipt of the Bibles, I am still way short of paying the printers. Without the final payment the printers won’t release the Bibles. Because we lacked the funds to obtain the release of the Bibles, I then advanced the date to the last week of July 2006 based upon one benefactor’s statement that they would provide the help needed to obtain the  release of the Bibles. But alas, that hasn’t happened as yet. It is quickly becoming apparent to me that we can no longer fund these Bible projects in the manner that we have previously used. It is for this reason, I am suggesting several different means of funding and capitalizing SGP’s ministries and the large projects that SGP undertakes. Without adequate funding, we must reconsider what we are able to do and seriously consider if the Lord is leading us to do the projects at all.

I am therefore exploring and proposing the following ways to raise the capital to get this done.

By purchasing stock;

DO NOT CONSIDER PURCHASING THIS STOCK, IF:

If there are any among you that might have an interest in a stock offering or know anyone that might have an interest and can accept the terms and conditions above please contact us by e-mail at jgreenjr@sgpbooks.com or by phone at (800) 447-9142 within the US, or by phone at (765) 429-4122 outside the US so that we might determine if this is the way the Lord is leading you and us. Be sure to give us your name, address, phone number and e-mail address and the best method and time to contact you.

a) having to establish the worldwide distribution and sales channels with bookstores, such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Borders Books, the major Christian and secular book distributors, or,

b) setting up an order desk, building a catalog, advertising, or,

c) hiring the people to handle the shipping, or, any of the other costs of being a book publisher.

BY SPONSORING A BOOK:
 

DO NOT SPONSOR A BOOK;
 

If you have an interest in the Sponsor-A-Book Program, review the titles at http://www.sgpbooks.com/SponsorBook.asp and pick a title to sponsor online, or, contact us, or, if you have knowledge of a title that is out of print that should be in print, please let us know and we will calculate the costs of printing that title.

Please be aware that we will not knowingly publish any title that is not in agreement with our doctrinal beliefs.

If you have interest in this program, please send me an e-mail at jgreenjr@sgpbooks.com .
 
bullet JOIN THE FAMILY — AUTHOR PROGRAM — If you yourself have authored or compiled a title that you believe should be in print, or that was in print by another publisher and has since gone out of print, let us know and we will see if we can put the title into print. Again, please be aware that we will not knowingly publish any title that is not in agreement with our doctrinal beliefs. Under this program, you will pay the costs of putting the work into print, and we will split the net proceeds evenly (50-50) with you. You might be able to put your book in print for as low as $250.00 but the cost could be higher if editing, pagination, proofreading or typesetting are needed. The $250 price is based on a book already typeset, edited, proofread and ready for printing.
