In 1988 I took over as president of New Leaf Press. Although Dad went to be
with the Lord in 1992, the work he started continues as our company grows and is
blessed with new opportunities each season.
During the last twelve years our company has experienced unprecedented
growth, and I have tried to stay true to my father's wishes and the company's
mission statement. New Leaf Press maintains a strong reputation within the
industry for publishing award-winning inspirational books, and relevant
cutting-edge books that address important cultural issues. And we remain
committed to offering both value and the very best in quality products and
service to our customers.
In 1996, New Leaf Press bought Master Books, which was also established in
1975 by two icons of the Christian book industry. Dr. Henry Morris and Tim
LaHaye founded what has come to be known as the only publishing house in the
world that publishes creation-based material exclusively. Since coming under the
New Leaf Press corporate umbrella, Master Books has had a 300% growth over its
best previous year and continues to offer important evolution-free supplemental
homeschool products. I feel that my father would be very pleased with the
addition of Master Books to our company, and its mission of promoting
creationism through books and multimedia products for all ages.
Together, New Leaf Press and Master Books publish around 35 titles a year.
And in 2003, a third imprint, Balfour Books, was launched to publish books
on the importance of Israel and the Middle East, as well their relevance to
America. Topics of radical islam, interfaith issues, Zionism, and prophecy are
examples of why this new imprint is attracting projects by some of the most
powerful and influential Jewish and Christian writers of our time. And Balfour
Books continues the New Leaf Press tradition of unique, niche products that
successfully stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Many people continue to ask me the secret to our growth and, in turn, what
accounts for our success over the past 30 years. My answer has always been the
same: the prayers of a mother. She has remained a very strong and guiding force
in the ministry of New Leaf Publishing Group. Thanks Mom!
Thank you for visiting our new web site, and I hope the Lord continues to
richly bless both you and your family.
In His service,
Tim Dudley
President
