 I, Bill Kemp, am not perfect yet. But, I haven’t given up. To be a follower of Jesus is to desire to be more compassionate day by day. To strive for perfection in love. Jesus taught his disciples to love each other, forming grace-filled fellowships. He also commanded them to serve those in need, both in our neighborhoods and across the globe. Church is meant to be a supportive community, encouraging each of us to be more perfect in love. I bought the notperfectyet.com website over two decades ago, hoping that it would be useful to the Church and to those who desire, as I do, to become more perfect in love

Seeking to understand perfection in love has led me to my calling, which is creative communication. I particularly enjoy writing long-form fiction, such as novels and full-length plays.

 

  Building NPY’s four websites, and publishing through Discipleship Resources and Kregel also gave me experience in writing short practical pieces dealing with specific problems in the Church and in our individual spiritual journey. 

  Recently, I hired on my son, Matthew, to work at NPY as an editor, marketing guru, and business administrator. We hope to have sufficient capacity in the years ahead to publish other authors that share our core values.
