Scepter Publishers

Programs: Scepter's selection of titles emphasizes the fundamental aspects of religious life: prayer, sincerity, self-denial, and a spirit of service to others. Since its publishing focus is related to a message that remains outside the mainstream, it must make a greater effort to promote these materials with better marketing in order to reach individuals already receptive to this message as well as those who might be led to a greater awareness of its importance. During 2017 scepter released several new books that help people in their day-to-day struggles to improve both their own lives and the lives of others. Some of the titles include ordinary life and holiness this work compiles the writings of st. Josemaria regarding the universal call to holiness for the lay faithful. It teaches us that we are all called to be saints in whatever our occupation or state of life. Another is inside the mind of thomas more, by david oakley. St. Thomas more is the patron saint for lawyers and this book renders examples of how this great saint was able to live his faith for the common good of others in very specific circumstances. Holiness in a secular age, fr. Juan valez relates what the 19th century cardinal newman would suggest regarding the state of affairs we find ourselves in our current times. Team baby, by julia dee and ida gazzola is a book that helps young mothers to better understand the spiritual beauty of motherhood with particular advice for new moms.

scepter continued to offer free books to prisoners upon request. It is the organization's belief that society greatly benefits when prisoners have access to these books, as they aid greatly in the reformation of their character, which is important to their eventual reintegration into society. Examples include edison jefferson who is incarcerated at the texas state prison in kenedy texas or charles walker incarcerated in memphis tn who requested a copy of the way by st josemaria, we added a copy of christ is passing by as well. Scepter continues to develop its list of electronic books and its own electronic distribution system. These electronic books are especially helpful as they are of lower cost and greater convenience to readers.
