Ochorus Originals
New books, written in the company of the classics
Most of our library is centuries old. Ochorus Originals are the books we write ourselves: daily devotionals for children, true stories of the men and women who carried the gospel, and calls to prayer for those who lead. Like everything here, every one is free to read.

Why we write
Old voices, new readers
The classics speak in the language of their own century. Ochorus Originals retell those lives and truths for a child at bedtime, a student before exams, or a pastor on a Sunday night — drawn from the same sources that fill the rest of the library.
