About 10ofThose
We are a book ministry that handpicks the best books from across a range of publishers, ensuring that they hold to the Bible, and then discounts them so that more can go out. We then use our profits to support missions around the world.
Our resources are carefully chosen to ensure they point to the Lord Jesus. We are passionate about what we recommend because we know that as books point to Jesus; they change lives. We have experienced that in our own lives, and we want you to discover that in yours too!
10Publishing, the publishing house of 10ofThose, is made up of three imprints (10Publishing, Evangelical Press and Reformation Lightning). We are committed to producing quality Christian resources that are biblically grounded and accessible to a diverse audience. Our mission goes beyond publication; we strive to make our books not only doctrinally sound but also affordable, ensuring widespread access to the best Christian books and other resources.
All candidates must be eligible to work in the UK on a full time, permanent basis and be able to demonstrate their full sympathy with the business’ aims, objectives and beliefs.
