WHY PARAKLESIS?:

  • (par-ak'-lay-sis)
  • Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine

  • PROPERLY:
    • a calling near, summons (especially for help)
    • imploration, supplication, entreaty
    • exhortation, admonition, encouragement
    • consolation, comfort, solace; that which affords comfort or refreshment; thus of the Messianic salvation . . . so the rabbis call the Messiah the Consolation of Israel (Luke 2:25)
  • UNIVERSALLY:
    • "persuasive discourse, stirring address---instructive; admonitory, consolatory; powerful hortatory discourse"

The name of the press is aimed at keeping us grounded. We hope that the books we publish will encourage and comfort and console. And maybe a few of them will entreat or exhort. They may even deliver stirring addresses or persuasive discourses on occasion.
