These are the owners of Opine Publishing, Jean and Jim Purcell.
They are realizing the dream of a small Christian press that is scripturally
sound, enlightening and helpful to readers around the globe.
They are involved in young couple's groups as facilitators, the writing of books and essays,
and national church leadership. Jim is the former Director-General of IOM
(International Organization for Migration) in Geneva, Switzerland, and Jean is an editor, speaker, and author. A truly well-traveled couple, they have felt God's presence both at home and in the far reaches of the world, and have worshipped in both grand cathedrals and on bare dirt. God remained the same, and so did they, whether in a church or by the side of the road - faithful, searching, and ageless. Enjoy Opine Books selections, and you are enjoying books that they personally feel very strongly about. That's all the seal of approval that I, as Sales and Marketing Manager - and their oldest daugther - need to move forward with a title!

Welcome to Your New Blog

Hi Everyone!

Opine is moving into new technology and the new ways in which people communicate by offering the new Opine blog! (Don't expect us to Twiter, though - you won't hear a "tweet" from us...for now.) We want to make our celebration of our shared faith even more accessible and more of a daily habit, so we want you to visit us, and le us know what's on your mind. Please stay and connect no matter what your faith - we want to hear from you!

To start us off, then, I'd like to encourage you to think about your reading choices. What is on your bedside table - a mystery, a vampire novel (why are these so popular??), or a book on the economy? Do you read a prayer book at night, or are you reaching for a new Grisham? What are you feeding your brain? To start the blog off, please respond to this post by telling us what you are reading - and why - and we will send you a free Opine book of your choice if you are the first to respond.

Thanks, and keep visiting. We'll make it worth your time.

Sincerely,
Deirdre Reilly
Sales and Marketing
