About Us

Younger Elder Publications is committed to publishing Christian books that are easy to read and relevant to today’s world.

Too many authors try to “dumb down” the glorious story of God’s eternal love for humankind.  Others write like it’s a doctoral thesis dissertation.  Neither style is user friendly to the majority of the population.

That’s why Younger Elder Publications is dedicated to writing as people speak.  The message is clear and personal.  God’s love for His creation should be the message everyone hears.  The reader’s response is to give praise to God for all that He has done for us.

It’s actually quite simple.  Yet it’s also complex.  The job of a good writer is to make a case and to convince the reader that there is no other conclusion but the one the writer has in mind.

For Christian writers, this is that God loves us and wants a personal relationship with us.  That’s why He sent His Son Jesus to earth to show humans how to live.  Then God allowed Jesus to die on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for our sin.  This is the essence of the Holy Bible.  It is the same essence that Younger Elder Publications wants to share with the reading public.
