When One Door Shuts – Another Opens!
God loves books! He put 66 of them in the best book ever! And over my life time I have had the privilege of being involved in book writing and publishing for close on sixty years! I thank God that I had the joy of seeing Sovereign World Ltd become part of Ellel Ministries, publishing many vital Christian books from many different authors – books which have been a constant source of blessing to people across the nations.
For thirty-five years Sovereign World also published all the books Fiona and I wrote. It was, therefore, a very sad moment when I heard at the beginning of this year that Ellel was closing down the company, which meant that our books would no longer be available to the Body of Christ. Urgent action was needed to protect the future of our writings.
God has always used the written word to preserve and share His truth. And, in this electronic age, the written word is spread farther and faster than ever before. As I pondered what had happened, I knew deep in my spirit that God was saying that the day of our books was not over, and that He was opening a wider door for them!
I remembered how, undeterred, William Carey had to start again in India in 1812. Ten years of painstaking translation work had gone up in flames and was destroyed in a matter of minutes. His determination to press on and do it all again has always inspired me. From the many letters and emails I receive, I know that our books have brought vital teaching and much healing to many people. And I know, too, that there are books yet to be written that will need to be published.
So, a new determination arose in my own heart to start again, so that all our teaching and ministry books would remain available to the Body of Christ.
“Once a publisher, Always a publisher!”
In my younger days, publishing was the bread and butter of my everyday business life. I knew what needed to be done, and I know, too, that nothing is ever wasted in the Kingdom of God! So, ignoring the reality of my age, I set about building a new publishing operation that would once again supply believers with the written fruit of our forty years of pioneering in the Kingdom.
PHP Books (Peter Horrobin Publishing) is the result. I only decided to use my own name so that those who look on-line for our books will find them more easily.
Our son Paul is helping us with all the design and technical side of things, getting our books available on Amazon and relaunching Journey to Freedom. Our daughter, Anne, generously offered to handle all our physical book distribution in the UK through her very successful Christian card company, Just Cards Direct. And our business man, son, Mark, helped with critical business decisions. We are so grateful to them for helping make it all possible.
Available Again!
Journey to Freedom and all our teaching and ministry books are, therefore, now available once again. Very soon, also, Journey to Freedom will be on-line in multiple languages.
One door certainly closed, but a new one has opened wide. To browse and buy all the available books from Fiona and myself, just click on the following link:

Healing Through Deliverance, Forgiveness – God’s Master Key and Healing from Accident and Trauma are also available anywhere in the world via Amazon POD (Print on Demand).
Through the launch of PHP Books, the Lord has given me fresh inspiration to keep on writing. So watch out for some new books in the coming year.
I trust that as you explore the books you will find some that meet your immediate personal needs or as gifts for others.
Many blessings
Peter
