SEVARTA

Pastors & church leaders

Your sermons already hold a book.

Years of messages, Bible studies and teaching. We gather them with you and walk beside you as you write the book that carries your ministry further: in your voice, faithful to what you teach.

Your material

What you already have.

No need to start from a blank page. Anything that carries your preaching can become a chapter.

  • Recorded sermons on videoYouTube, Facebook, church website
  • Sermon audioaudio files, podcast
  • Bible studiesnotes, handouts, study guides
  • Retreats and seminarssessions, workbooks
  • Notebooks and devotionsphotos of pages, text
  • A manuscript you startedWord, PDF, even unfinished

How we walk with you

A book written with you, not for you.

We follow the SEVARTA Method, over about 12 weeks, at the pace of your ministry.

The Method in detail
  1. 1. We listen

    A conversation with your publishing director: the message that runs through your ministry, the people you want to reach, the book that follows from it.

  2. 2. We gather

    Your sermons are transcribed, your notes sorted, your series grouped by theme. At last you see all your material at a glance.

  3. 3. You write

    Chapter by chapter, you write from your own messages, with an editor beside you to shape, question and review.

  4. 4. You sign

    Three editorial passes, Bible references checked, then publication. Nothing is released without your approval.

Our commitment

Your book stays yours.

  1. Your voice

    We start from what you have already said, preached and taught. Your words, your examples, the way you speak. Never a borrowed voice.

  2. Your text

    You write, you rework, you decide. An editor stays beside you on every page, and never writes in your place.

  3. Your signature

    Nothing is published until you approve it, chapter by chapter. The book bears your name because it is yours, with 100% of your rights.

  4. Your record

    An authenticity record traces where your text comes from: your sources, your interviews, your drafts, every revision. If anyone asks where your book comes from, you can show them.

Tools help us transcribe your recordings and organise your material. The writing stays yours.

What matters to you

What we respect.

  • Your doctrine

    We add nothing to what you teach and take nothing away. Your tradition, your convictions and your vocabulary are respected.

  • Scripture

    Every Bible reference is checked: book, chapter, verse, with the translation you quote kept consistent throughout.

  • Your pastoral tone

    A book that sounds like you in the pulpit: the same warmth, the same conviction, the same images.

  • Passing it on

    A book to give, to study in small groups, to pass on in your church. Print runs are available.

The editions

Three editions, for your ministry.

The same editions for all our authors, read through your concerns: extending your ministry, serving your church, passing on what you teach.

Questions pastors ask.

I don’t have time to write. Is it still possible?

Yes, that is exactly what we are here for. You don’t start from a blank page: your sermons are transcribed and organised. You write from what you have already preached, with an editor who shapes, reviews and keeps you moving, at a pace that fits your calendar.

Who writes the book?

You do. We gather and organise your material, walk beside you through the writing and review every page with you. Tools help us transcribe your recordings; the words remain yours, and the book is published under your name.

How can I show the book is really mine?

Every edition includes an authenticity record. It brings together the sources of your text (sermons, notes, interviews, drafts) and traces each revision, from the approved outline to the final manuscript. It is not a certificate: it is an orderly record of your work, which you can show whenever someone asks where your book comes from.

Will my doctrine be respected?

Yes. The book grows from your own teaching; we introduce no position that is not yours. Every chapter is sent to you, and nothing is published without your approval.

Do you check Bible references?

Yes. Every quotation is checked (book, chapter, verse) and the Bible translation used is cited consistently throughout the book.

Can we print copies for our church?

Yes. Print runs are available in Africa or Europe, with logistics and physical distribution, notably in the “Go further” edition.

My sermons are in English. Can the book be published in French?

We publish in French and in English. Tell us about your church and your readers during the admission call, and we will look at what fits together.

Your message deserves to last.

A 30-minute conversation, with no commitment, to look at your sermons and notes with a publishing director.
