our environmental Responsibility

Homebound holds a fervor for environmental conservation. atop donating a percentage of our annual income to an ecological charity, we are ever-mindful of our “carbon footprint”. our books are printed on paper with chain of cus-tody certification from the Forest stewardship council, sustainable Forestry initiative, and the programme for the endorsement of Forest certification. this ensures that, in every step of the process, from the tree to the reader’s hands, that the paper our books are printed on has come from sustainably managed forests.

our mission

at Homebound publications we publish books written by soul-oriented individuals putting forth their works in an effort to restore depth, highlight truth, and improve the quality of liv-ing for their readers. as an independent pub-lisher we strive to ensure, “that the mainstream is not the only stream.”® it is our intention at Homebound publications to revive contempla-tive storytelling. in all our titles our intention is to introduce new perspectives that will direct-ly aid mankind in the trials we face at present as a global village.

our business philosophy

at Homebound publications we value au-thenticity and fresh ideas. From the submis-sions process where we choose our projects, through the editing phase, the design and lay-out, right to the crafting of each finished book, our focus is to produce a reading experience that will change the lives of our patrons. so often in this age of commerce, entertainment supersedes growth; books of lesser integ-rity but higher marketability are chosen over those with much-needed truth but a smaller audience. we focus on the quality of the truth and insight present within a project before any other considerations.

“a fair amount of research went into this novel of christianity’s origin, and that scholarship cuts both ways. the protagonist, Jacob, is born into the House of david in Jerusalem, a handful of years after the death of Jesus. ...through rebellious uprising, wilderness wandering and a fi-nal sea journey, Jacob is eventually involved with every single Jewish or Roman person of historical importance. ...those interested in how facts and myth synthesize to form a religion will be pleased by plau-sible extrapolation from reasonable assumptions.”

The Conversions deals with some of the most pressing questions at this moment in history: what kind of world can be created with the end of industrial civilization? what is truly at the root of the so-called clash of civilizations? what is the place for religion in the post-modern world? is american identity only about defining and excluding the other? what does a government look like when everything, even education, is privatized?
