TAUNTON — Hoping to uplift readers and give an opportunity to other religious writers, a local pastor has started a Spanish-language Christian publishing house.
Edna Isaac, pastor of the Casa de Adoracion based at the Pilgrim Congregational Church on Broadway, launched JDN Publications in mid-September. So far it has published two books written by Isaac, and it plans on releasing a lot more from herself and five other local authors, Isaac said.
"When you write to encourage other people, when you write to inspire other people in times of trouble or times when they are facing a difficulty, there is always a need for it," Isaac said.
The "JDN" in JDN Publication stands for Jesus de Nazareth.
Isaac's first motivational Christian book, called "Aprendiend a Volar Sobre la Tormenta," or "Learning to Fly Over the Storm," came out in 2004. She was using the Salon publishing house at the time, but now "Apriendiend a Volar" is one of the titles published by her new venture, along with another more recent book called "Volver a Empezar," which means "Starting Over."
"It was always one of my dreams to have my own publishing house," Isaac said. "My frustration as an author was that it was difficult because of the cost. What motivates me to do this is that so people can have the resources to go into it more easily. The purpose is to help new writers to publish their books, especially those who don't have the resources."
Isaac's books incorporate scripture and personal experiences with faith. She writes about Christianity and how it helped her overcome adversity in in her childhood, while having a baby who was born premature and in many other situations.
"If I overcome, anyone can," Isaac said.
Isaac said she has five authors who are working to get books published through JDN Publications. She is using the Internet to facilitate the business at www.jdnpublications.com.
Francisco Isaac, Edna's husband, said that he is proud that his wife started JDN Publications. "I'm very happy about it," he said.
