History:

Leadership Ministries Worldwide (LMW) formed in 1992 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to publishing and distributing The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® (POSB). This one-of-a-kind, 44-volume series outlines every verse of scripture and provides a well-resourced commentary on every point. Hundreds of resources were used in writing the POSB, drawing upon a wealth of information as well as theology and original language studies from Christianity’s 2,000-year history. There are POSB volumes in 177 countries, with portions of the works translated into 20 languages.
