Where does the name Luke 4:18 come from?
Luke 4:18 is the verse where Jesus announces His mission: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.” It is the reason we publish: good news, in plain words, for everyone.
Who are your books written for?
People in their first year of faith, people coming back after time away, and the pastors and churches who disciple them. If you feel behind in your faith, our books were written for you.
The free Foundations ebook
Is the Foundations ebook really free?
Yes. The Foundations ebook is free and always will be. Enter your email at luke418publishing.com/pages/free and the download arrives instantly. Free. Always.
Why do you ask for my email?
Your email is how BookFunnel delivers the book and how we send occasional encouragement and new releases. We use it only for that, and you can unsubscribe in one click from any email.
What will I learn in Foundations?
Twelve basics of the Christian life: salvation, assurance, baptism and communion, prayer and fasting, fellowship, giving, Christian ethics, Bible study, spiritual gifts, using your gifts, spiritual warfare, and the church.
Choosing a book
I'm a new Christian. Which book should I start with?
Start with the free Foundations ebook to learn the twelve basics. When you're ready for a daily habit, 30 Days to a Foundational Faith turns those same topics into a 30-day devotional.
I'm coming back to faith after years away. Is this for me?
Yes. Both Foundations and 30 Days were written for returning believers too. You're not behind. They start at the beginning and assume nothing.
I'm a pastor. Which books are for church leaders?
Two. The Foundations Leader's Guide is a complete new members class curriculum for teaching Foundations in four, six, or twelve weeks. The Right Kind of Help is for pastors and ministry leaders who need to find and develop the right volunteers. See them together in Ministry Leadership.
How do I teach a new members class?
Use the free Foundations ebook for each member and the Foundations Leader's Guide for the leader. The guide has every 60-minute session planned, an answer key, and reproducible handouts, in PDF ($9.99) or paperback ($16.99).
Can churches order books in bulk?
Yes. Email customercare@luke418publishing.com with the title and quantity, and we'll reply with options.
Ebooks
How do I get my ebook after I order?
Right after checkout, BookFunnel emails you a download link. You can read it in the BookFunnel app or send it to your Kindle, Apple Books, Nook, Kobo, or phone.
My ebook email didn't arrive. What do I do?
Wait up to an hour, then check your spam and promotions folders. Still nothing? Email customercare@luke418publishing.com and we'll resend it.
Can I read your ebooks on a Kindle?
Yes. BookFunnel can send the book straight to your Kindle, and its free reader support will walk you through it if you get stuck.
Paperbacks and shipping
How long does shipping take?
Paperbacks are printed on demand, usually in 3 to 5 business days, then ship in 3 to 8 business days within the U.S. Canada takes longer. You get a tracking number by email.
How much is shipping?
U.S. shipping is $7.99 on orders up to $19.99, $8.99 up to $34.99, $9.99 up to $49.99, and $11.99 on $50 and up. Canada is a $14.99 flat rate. Ebooks never have shipping.
Where do you ship?
Paperbacks ship to the United States (including APO/FPO where the carrier allows) and Canada. Ebooks are available worldwide.
Why are your paperbacks printed on demand?
Every copy is printed fresh for your order. That keeps prices low, means a book is never out of stock, and avoids warehouses full of unsold books.
Returns and problems
What if my book arrives damaged or misprinted?
Email us within 30 days of delivery with your order number and a photo. We'll send a free replacement or a full refund, and you don't need to mail the book back.
Can I return a book I changed my mind about?
No. Because paperbacks are printed for your order and ebooks can't be returned once delivered, we can't refund change-of-mind purchases. We always fix damaged, defective, or undelivered orders. See our Refund Policy.
