LivingSermons offers Sermon Publishing Services that helps churches, ministries and preachers turn recorded (Video or Audio) sermons into professionally prepared digital books. We transcribe, refine, format and organize your messages so they can be read, shared and preserved for years to come. LivingSermons partners with preachers, churches and Christian ministries to faithfully transcribe spoken messages, professionally refine the manuscripts, publish them as digital books and preserve them in a lasting digital archive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can work with LivingSermons?

Do you change the preacher's message?
No. Our editorial process focuses on grammar, clarity, structure and readability while preserving the preacher’s voice, meaning and intended message.
Do I retain ownership of my sermons?
Yes. Your original sermons and materials remain yours. Any permissions for editing, publishing, hosting and distribution will be clearly agreed upon before work begins.
Can we use our own ministry name and branding?
Yes. Ministry branding is included in the paid plans as described above. The level of customization depends on the selected plan and agreed project scope.
Can we send recordings longer than the stated limits?
Yes. Recordings beyond the plan limits can be reviewed and quoted separately. Contact us before submitting them.
What happens if we have more sermons than our plan allows?
You can request a separate quotation for the additional sermons or discuss moving to a higher plan.
Can we give you old sermon recordings?

Choose the Custom Publishing Projects option. Tell us what you want to accomplish, and we will discuss a suitable solution and quotation.
When does work begin?
