Indie Memoir Defies Publishing Odds with 500-Copy Launch

Small, a missionary who spent a decade working alongside the Free Burma Rangers, founded his own publishing house to bypass the traditional gatekeeping of the industry. The book has secured consistent five-star reviews and earned a formal endorsement from author Morgan Snyder, who praised Small for embodying the message he describes rather than merely observing it from afar.

To bridge the gap between reading and engagement, Small Revolution Publishing has paired the memoir with an author-narrated audiobook, an original soundtrack, and a study guide that features unconventional challenges—including rucking and community service. Every dollar earned from these materials supports the Jungle Discipleship School in Burma and local initiatives like the JDS Football Academy, which operates near active combat zones. Small is currently touring North America to promote the book and raise support for his ongoing humanitarian efforts.
