Brad Cummings graduated from Pepperdine University, planted a church in Malibu, launched a construction and landscaping business, all before becoming one of the most notable independent book publishers in the world and becoming a movie producer.

​Sounds like an interesting journey huh? There's a reason he was set on this path.

He co-authored a book called The Shack, and after being turned down by twenty different publishers Brad and his co-authors decided to self-publish the book. They sold over one-million copies out of Brad's garage. Currently, The Shack has sold over twenty- Million copies and has been published in forty-one different languages. It was #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for over 150 weeks straight. 

In 2017 The Shack was released as a feature film starring Octavia Spencer & Sam Worthington and grossed over ninety-six million dollars worldwide. 

Most recently, Brad founded Shiloh Road Publishers, teaming up with the award-winning, premier design firm Koechel Peterson & Associates, and served as the General Editor for The Founders’ Bible.

Currently, Brad is actively writing several different books and screenplays.
