Follow Christ into places
he is not easily found.
Luminor, an imprint of Word on Fire Publishing, seeks to illuminate the Catholic vision of life for serious readers of any faith or none.
By publishing novels, short stories, memoirs, poetry, and more, Luminor brings out buried riches from the treasury of Catholic literature and highlights fresh voices among writers formed by Catholicity in our time.

True
As part of the collaborative apostolate of Bishop Robert Barron, Luminor connects genuine seekers after truth with literature that plants “seeds of the Word.”

Good
Luminor publishes works that move the soul from attention to action. Readers who can see what is real can choose what is right.

Beautiful
Luminor leads with beauty—not only in design and form, but in the language, image, and structure of every title.

Seeds of
the Word
In today’s divided culture, it can be hard to find books that bring life. Luminor builds on the foundations of truth, beauty, and goodness to expand the community of thinkers, writers, and readers engaged in preserving literate culture for generations to come.

ABOUT OUR LOGO

001
Luminor’s name is inspired by the concept of luminaria, small festival lanterns, often used to line a path or to create a patterned display.
002
The first luminaria were made by lighting the cones of pine trees—which release their seeds only in the presence of fire.
003
Luminor’s pinecone logo represents the presence of “seeds of the Word” which, under the right conditions, can move from modest beginnings to glorious growth.

“In your light
we see light.”
Psalm 36:9
