The content already exists
Your recorded sermons already contain your voice, stories, teaching, and the themes you return to most.
First-book development for pastors and preachers
You’ve already preached the messages. Now turn them into your first book.
I help pastors and preachers become published authors by transforming their recorded sermons into professionally developed devotional books, without having to write the manuscript themselves.

From the pulpit to publication
Recorded sermons became his first published devotional.
The material already existed.
The pastor had years of teaching available through recorded YouTube sermons. The project did not begin with a blank page or require him to write a manuscript from scratch.
The spoken messages needed development.
Sermons were selected, organized by theme, adapted for reading, and developed into devotional entries with a consistent structure and clear progression.
The project was carried through publication.
The manuscript was edited, formatted for a 5.5 × 8.5 paperback, prepared for Kindle, and taken through the self-publishing process.

He did not have to begin with a blank page. The substance of the book was already inside the sermons he had preached.
A simpler path to authorship
You don’t need a $20,000 publishing package to create a professionally published first book.
If you have recorded sermons, you already have the raw material. I handle the development, design, and publishing while you review and approve the message.
You do not write the manuscript
I develop the devotional, organize the theme, design the cover and interior, and prepare the book for publication.
The book can keep working
Once published, it can support ministry, expand your reach, generate direct sales, or contribute to a fundraising initiative.
The process
From sermons you have already preached to a book with your name on it.
You provide the recorded content and pastoral approval. I handle the development work that turns it into a cohesive, professionally presented devotional.
Select the message
Identify the sermon series, recurring theme, or collection of messages that can support a cohesive devotional.
Develop the manuscript
Extract, organize, and adapt the teaching into readable devotional entries while preserving the pastor’s voice and meaning.
Review and approve
Provide the manuscript for pastoral review, incorporate the agreed revisions, and prepare the final interior.
Publish and prepare to sell
Set up the paperback and Kindle editions, then prepare the church to order, promote, and sell physical copies.

Meet your book developer
Titus Lennon
I understand the book and the ministry behind it.
I am the author of Friction Zone, a book born from the faith, lessons, and resilience developed through my experience with a life-altering brain tumor and recovery. The ordeal left me permanently unable to open my right eye, but it also deepened my faith, clarified my purpose, and strengthened my belief that meaningful stories, hard-earned wisdom, and messages of faith should be preserved and shared.
I am also the developer and editor of God Isn’t Finished With You, a devotional created from the recorded sermons of Apostle Dr. Daryl Forehand and published as a resource for ministry and church fundraising.
As a former Minister of Music and an active participant in the music ministry of Immanuel Temple Church in Clermont, Florida, I understand both the message and the ministry behind the book.

Questions pastors ask
What should I know before getting started?
Do I have to write the book myself?
No. Your recorded sermons provide the source material. I develop the manuscript, structure the devotional, and prepare the book while you review and approve the message.
Do my sermons need to be on YouTube?
This service is designed for pastors and preachers who already have a library of full-length sermons published on YouTube. I review the available messages, identify potential themes, and determine whether there is enough material to develop a cohesive devotional. Sermons stored in other formats may be considered individually.
Who owns the finished book?
You retain 100% ownership of the copyright and receive all royalties paid through your Amazon KDP account. I take no ownership or ongoing percentage of sales.
Are there any additional costs?
There are no hidden book-development fees. The project fee does not include physical copies, shipping, taxes, advertising, or optional outside services you choose to add.
How involved will I need to be?
You provide access to the sermons, approve the book direction, review the developed manuscript, and approve the final cover and book. You do not have to write the manuscript, design the book, or manage the publishing setup yourself.
