Come. See. Know. Tell.
We believe books have the power to introduce readers to stories, ideas, and perspectives that change how they see the world — and every story worth telling deserves to be published well.
See what we've published ↓Four28 Publishing takes its name from John 4:28. It's the verse where a woman at a well, changed by an encounter she didn't expect, leaves her water jar behind and goes back into town. She doesn't keep what happened to herself. She tells the people around her, and then she does something else — she invites them to come and see for themselves.
We are a publishing house built on a very old pattern: you encounter something that changes you, you go tell somebody, and you invite them to see it for themselves. That's what a good book does, whatever shelf it ends up on.
A book invites a reader to come closer, see something they hadn't noticed, know something more deeply than they did the page before, and carry it out into the world to tell someone else. We publish books built to do exactly that.

Counted Out
A Story of Redemption in the NFL
by Blaine Bishop
Drafted in the eighth round with 214 players picked ahead of him, Blaine Bishop wasn't projected to make an NFL roster, let alone last in the league for a decade. Counted Out is his account of building a career as one of his era's most physical and instinctive safeties — four Pro Bowl selections, a start in Super Bowl XXXIV, and a Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame induction — and the faith and discipline that carried him there after being counted out again and again.
