Our Mission:
Heritage Builders Publishing is a Christian based company founded by two successful Christian Authors who are committed to publishing quality books that help parents
become intentional about raising their children in a Christian home. The Founders of Heritage Builders Publishing believe that the nation will follow the pathway the
homes of America channel for their children. We believe our Family Night Series are books that are second to none in helping the parent to instill quality traits in their
children that will prepare them to meet the challenges in the world ahead.
Although we are a family based company, we have launched into other book genres that we feel have value for Christian living. Mylon Le Fevre’s Live Forever, Jude
Marie’s The Love I Choose to Remember, Dr SS Smith’s Life Under Pressure, Moving Beyond Financial Meltdown, Ann Kiemel’s i love the word impossible and I’m out
to change my world are just an example of how Heritage Builders Publishing can step out and bring books that by themselves are a valuable asset to any family or
person needing encouragement and help.
We are now publishing in many languages, and our books are being sold around the world. We have assembled some of the most successful writers in history. Heritage
Builders Authors collectively have sold more than one hundred million books. We hope you will enjoy reading our material, and our commitment is to keep bringing
books to you that will not only help you but will bring the quality to your life you are seeking.
