Thomas Nelson Acquires WestBow Press Title

“Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts: The Prophecies in the Feasts of Leviticus”

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – October 2, 2014 – WestBow Press, the supported self-publishing services provider of Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, is pleased to announce that Thomas Nelson has acquired Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts: The Prophecies in the Feasts of Leviticus by Michael Norten.

"I am honored that Thomas Nelson has acquired my book. It is exciting that more readers will be able to experience what I have discovered hidden in the prophecies embedded in the seven biblical feasts,” Norten commented.

Norten’s debut work, which he self-published with WestBow Press in March 2012, is a sequential examination of God’s prophecies found in the feasts, from Passover to the Feast of Tabernacles. The embedded customs from these feasts are known by few, but they lay out many of God’s plans for the world, including some surprising revelations. Norten’s fresh look at these important events has driven strong book sales and prompted Thomas Nelson to acquire the title.

“Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts has drawn a lot of attention and book sales as a result of the new approach Michael took in writing about these important events. It’s a book we’ve had our eye on for a while, and we are pleased to add it to the Thomas Nelson list,” said Pete Nikolai, publisher of WestBow Press.

Norten’s book is the second WestBow Press title acquired by Thomas Nelson in recent months. Dave Spurgeon’s Bikin’ and Brotherhood, a reflective account of Spurgeon’s journey to Christ after years immersed in the biker-gang culture, was also added to the publishing group’s list in May and releases next week.

Thomas Nelson plans to rerelease Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts in paperback and popular digital formats in early 2015.
