An Idea is Born
In 1986, Edward D. Andrews became a Christian. However, he would fall away from the faith because he lost his faith to Bible critics. It would be in 1996 that he would find his way back. One night in the shower, he began to cry, to cry out to the Father. He pleads with the Father to show him the truth, to help him find the truth. The entire night was spent in prayer and tears. He had made a commitment that if God helped him get the books, he would study and study he did. He studied 6-8 hours a day, seven days a week for ten yeas. Not wanting to make the mistake that he did before, he studied apologetics, textual criticism, Bible translation process and philosophy, Hebrew, Greek, and many other subject matters, to the tune of over 3,000 books. He had become an apologist for the Bible, the faith and God himself.
In 2005, he decided to become an author. After being rejected by the big publishing houses, he decided to start his own. It was in 2005 that Christian Publishing House was in his mind. Shortly after that, he began publishing other books by Bible scholars. In 2007 he decided to get the official degrees that went with his self-taught education.
