A SMALL PUBLISHER FROM JINJU, SOUTH KOREA
01 — OUR PHILOSOPHY
Made to outlast
the moment.
A good book keeps unfolding inside us after we close it. At Supgil Books, we think about the books that accompany a season of life and invite another reading, years later.
We explore the questions between faith and everyday life, taking care with every sentence. As a small publisher, we give each book our personal attention, from the first draft to the finished reading experience.
02 — ON OUR DESK
Our first book, taking shape.

When Grace
Feels Far Away
Fourteen reflections on renewal through Ephesians.
An English rendering of the Korean title.
Our first book invites readers to revisit faith and everyday life through a slow reading of Ephesians. Fourteen readings move from understanding the text to reflection, practical application and prayer.
Written for both personal reading and shared conversation, the manuscript is being prepared for publication. Release details will be announced when available.
