Welcome to Destinée Media. We are a consortium of writers, editors, graphic designers and other media professionals that seek to operate by faith in God within a Biblical/Christian worldview. Our desire is to create 'culture-making' works that contribute to Christ being understood as Lord of the whole of life. Our publications tend to be thought provoking, even controversial, but they are marked by underlying themes of redemption and renewal.

We are committed to reflecting carefully on vital matters impacting the church, the academy, culture and worldviews. We aim to keep a personal and intimate dimension of the Christian life in view. Destinée is interested in people and shares in aspects of the L’Abri ethos, including being innovative, living truth in love, and supporting the arts.

We operate on an informal basis and are very different from most traditional publishing houses. One professional graphic designer that we work with laughingly termed us as "garage-publishing", but in our case "chalet-publishing" might be more appropriate. While our operating style is informal, we give a lot of thought to the  content of our books, hoping that each book will challenge readers in new ways. We are learning as we go, but increasingly we are trying to ask questions concerning the book as a media. One of our aims is to challenge our own perception of how a book works. Even typography might play a significant role: “Can a less obvious typeface help the reader to better engage with the material?” or, “Can a book cover work as a visual interpretation of Biblical themes in contemporary culture?”

A clear ambition for us is to create books that connect with readers in a more human way. One surprising obstacle today is the perfection of digital typography, which might create a distance between the book and the one who reads it. How can we better communicate the humanness of the writer and the reader?

We invite you to take an excursion into the theological, philosophical, and hermeneutical tension, woven into Scripture and the Christian life. Please share you’re thoughts on both the content of our books as well as book design. Do they suggest a clash of perspectives, or something of the reality of being in community with God, each other, and the world?

We thank you for your interest in our materials and hope that you find them both relevant and challenging. Let us know what you think:
