Equipping and Edifying the Saints
Teleion Books’ mission mirrors the purpose for which Jesus Christ himself gave us faith leaders. The Apostle Paul describes this purpose in Ephesians 4:11-16.
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
The word “mature” in verse 13 is a translation of the Greek word “teleion”

Publisher’s Note
Teleion Books fulfills the call to serve God and edify His children through the intersection of two passions: A love of books, and a hunger to see African-American and Africana life and culture reflected in Christian faith-based books. Books touch our lives as they entertain, uplift, inform, comfort, and stretch us. They teach us of God’s mercy, Jesus’ love, and the Holy Spirit’s daily help as we learn to walk in Him. The Teleion family is building a catalog of books with the prayer that lives will be touched and blessed by each publication. Thank you for visiting Teleion Books.
By His grace,
