Now, more than ever, we are living in a society in which overt sin is becoming ever more pervasive and 'normal'; the darkness can at times seem overwhelming and our kids are out there in it. The need for excellent books for young people with a Christian world view is great. There are plenty of books with an atheistic viewpoint and many stories which have incited interest in the occult and witchcraft, violence, materialism and worldly relationships, but what about books where the Lord is God, where faith in the Lord Jesus Christ matters, where people pray and read the bible? These don't have to be dry subjects! - they can be as alive, real, funny, scary and sad as any secular story, but with the enormous extra bonus of a spiritual perspective.

Dernier Publishing was set up by Janet Evans in 2004 to produce quality fiction for young people with a Christian world view. The aim of these books is to encourage, thrill and inspire young people in their walk with God - and to show non-church kids what they are missing!

Many people are involved in Dernier Publishing - editing, website, printing, production, design, book cover illustrations and many others who encourage, support and pray. There have been some amazing miracles and many answers to prayer, ranging from the enormous; exhibiting for the first time at the Christian Resources Exhibition, to the great; an unsolicited email from a girl saying that 'The Treasure Hunt' was the best book she had ever read, to the everyday; whenever a job has needed to be done, someone has been there!

There have been difficult times, too, with distractions and challenges of seemingly endless variety, but that only proves that producing Christian books for young people is worth fighting for.

At Dernier Publishing, we have also begun to produce other resources for young people including:

• art packs, with a Christian message for children to take home and share
• posters with an inspirational message for every day spiritual encouragement
• a series of prayer booklets to help young people who want to pray but get stuck for words (you might find them helpful too!)

All our products are produced with the aim of encouraging young people in their faith.
All are available from this website and our books can also be ordered from any High Street store.

We are aware of the need to publicise the books well and give good service, so customers can buy with confidence. Christian adults also need to be reminded of the great influence that a good book can have on the children that they care about and that a book often costs no more than coffee and panini in a high street café. A Christian book is daily bread with eternal value! Jesus said, 'Let the children come to me'. Giving them a Christian book is surely giving them the opportunity to do just that. In some cases, again and again - and the message can be passed on to their friends too!

If you share our vision, please do pray for us and buy a book today, or a poster (or a box full!) for the children on your heart, whether they be your own children, grandchildren, neighbours, friends or wider family. They make excellent prizes and presents! You may not be able to talk to some of them about Jesus, but you can offer them a gift. Our children's faith is priceless! Words are powerful, but we only have a small window of opportunity before they grow up . . .

One day 'the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord.' We so want our kids to be there.
