BETHEL PUBLISHING HOUSE

An outreach ministry of the Bethel Ministerial Association.

Supplying Church and Sunday School books, literature and media needs for our BMA churches through suppliers like BMA and commercial Christian suppliers.
Bethel Publishing House is an outreach ministry of the Bethel Ministerial Association, an independent fellowship of Inter- and Non-Denominational churches, primarily in the midwest.  BPH seeks to provide quality, Spirit filled literature for Christian instruction to our member churches at the lowest price available. All profits made by BMA are then directed to our annual summer youth camp, Bethel Youth Camp, also a ministry of the BMA.  As with other areas of the BMA, it is our desire, through the functions of the BPH to serve the Lord faithfully and win others to Jesus by first and foremost lifting Him up!  We hope you will find our services a benefit to you and your church in the future.

HIDE THE WORD

David L. Matthews
Find more info on this book here:
The goal is to memorize 100 Bible verses in two years. This book is the first of four books designed to help you achieve that goal. We start with 25 verses in this book, many which are familiar to the individual, and most very easy to learn.  Hiding them deep inside your heart, Dave will teach you tools and techniques which have worked for him throughout his life and help you discover that you can do far more in this discipline than you ever thought possible.
 

The Self chosen one

Kevin P. Horath
Find more info on this book here:
   What happens when someone claims to speak for God-but refuses to answer to anyone? In today's platform-driven culture, prophetic voices can gain influence almost overnight. But when charisma grows faster than character and authority operates without accountability, the Church becomes vulnerable to confusion, manipulation, and spiritual harm.
   In The Self-Chosen One: When Prophecy Replaces Accountability, pastor Kevin P. Horath addresses this growing challenge. Writing from the perspective of a pastor who deeply values the work of the Holy Spirit, Horath does not reject prophecy. Instead, he calls the Church to restore it to its proper place within humility, character, and biblical oversight.



where was god

Josh Long
   There are moments in life that don’t come with explanations. Moments that arrive uninvited, settle in deep, and refuse to be rushed out- grief that lingers, questions that echo, silence that feels heavier than words. This book was written from within those moments.
   Where Was God? is an honest exploration of pain, loss, and the quiet tension between faith and reality. Rather than offering polished answers, Pastor Josh Long invites readers into the raw and often uncomfortable process of continuing to reach for God when everything feels uncertain, heavy, or even absent. Page by page, the central question - where was He? - is revisited, to sit with it long enough for something deeper to emerge.

camp david trap

Stephen Schwambach
   YOU'RE MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS. THE PRESIDENT CALLS. HE NEEDS YOU. YOU THINK IT'S A HOAX. IT ISN'T.
   You've never met the President. You didn't vote for the President. You don't like the President. He's in a jam? Too bad. Serves him right. What gives him the right to snatch you from your nice, warm home and stick you with a disastrous problem his top advisors can't fix?
   Back home, you're a hand-to-hand fighting legend. But now you're a long way from home. That's okay. You won't need your Krav Maga skills up here, right? Wrong.

the foolishness of god

Nola Warren
Find more info on this book here:
In 1964 Nola Warren was a young missionary with three small children, a wonderful marriage and a growing ministry. One day her husband, Jerry Witt, flew away in his airplane to do what he loved to do in his ministry--distribute Bibles to the most remote villages of Mexico. Jerry never came home. He was killed in an airplane crash that has never been completely explained or resolved. Even though she spoke very little Spanish at the time, Nola obeyed God and remained in Mexico to continue the work Jerry had begun. 

the way up

Jose Angel Rodriguez
Find more info on this book here:
Jack was going to be somebody. And he was going to enjoy the journey. At least that's what he determined when he had the chance to get away from his strict home environment. He had seen others graduate from high school and go into the military or find a job locally. College was an option. He had the grades, but that was too slow. He didn't want to wait four or five years to make his mark. After all, he had everything going for him. He came from a good home, was near the top of his class, and he could talk himself out of any situation. Yes, he was going to do it his way. He was going to do it fast, blazing new trails along the way. What he did not anticipate was that life tends to happen in spite of the best plans. His big dreams were based on faulty assumptions, and combined with his lack of experience in the real world, he soon found himself in deeper trouble than he thought possible. He was lost until he discovered The Way Up. 

the ladder of spiritual growth

Josh Long
Find more info on this book here:
   Spiritual growth is often assumed, but rarely defined. Many believers sincerely desire maturity in Christ, yet struggle to understand what steady, biblical growth truly looks like. Conversations about “going deeper” are common, but without structure, growth becomes emotional, inconsistent, and reactive.
In 2 Peter 1:5–7, the apostle Peter provides something different—a deliberate, Spirit-inspired progression from faith to love. Not a scattered list of virtues, but a ladder. Each rung builds on the one before it. Skip one, and the climb becomes unstable.
   The Ladder of Spiritual Growth walks that path carefully.
Beginning with faith as the foundation, this book explores how virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love are formed—not in dramatic moments, but in the quiet obedience of everyday life.

tough talk to a stubborn spouse

Stephen Schwambach
Find more info on this book here:
   In the United States, someone gets divorced every 27 seconds. In almost every instance, at least one person desperately wants the marriage to stay together. You may be that person. Perhaps you are the other spouse, or a child, or a relative or friend, but your heart is breaking because someone for whom you care deeply is headed straight for a divorce. You know hat this person is about to destroy his or her life, but you haven't known what to do. Now you can give your loved one this book. 
   In Tough Talk To A Stubborn Spouse, author Stephen Schwambach pours 20 years of counseling and pastoring stubborn people into short, powerful chapters that will stimulate the thinking of husbands or wives. One word of caution-the talk between these covers is truly tough. It is so honest that at times it actually hurts to read it but don't let that stop you. It could be the key that unlocks a desperate situation.

Hey God, there's a bug in my pew!

Jerry VanRonk

THE PHARAOH FACTOR: LIVING WITH A HARDENED HEART

Kevin P. Horath
Find more info on this book here:
The Pharaoh of the Exodus defied God and tried to keep the Hebrews from leaving Egypt.
Unsuccessful, he became infamous in the annals of history. His defeat was legendary.
Centuries later, Pharaoh’s life remains an enigma for many.
Who was he? Did he have a choice? Was he destined to lose from the beginning? Why did God harden his heart?
In "The Pharaoh Factor", Kevin P. Horath tackles these difficult questions. Using his own struggle with a hardened heart, Kevin tells how we can apply the lessons learned from Pharaoh.
If you are struggling with a hardened heart and are looking for biblical answers, this book is for you.

the donkey factor: living a life used by god

Kevin P. Horath

“You are as stubborn as a donkey!”
It is a phrase nearly everyone has heard or said at one time or another, probably for good reason. However, that reason may not be exactly correct. Donkeys actually have many virtuous qualities.
In The Donkey Factor, Kevin P. Horath takes an in-depth look at this important yet often overlooked animal in the Bible. Through Scripture, stories, humor, and practical examples, Kevin teaches valuable lessons:
• How to be a better messenger of God’s Word
• Why it is necessary to tame selfish desires
• How to understand God’s plan of redemption
