Welcome to Daniel Publishing Company, also known as Daniel Bible Ministries.

Since 1973, we have been dedicated to the mission of making the Word of God accessible, deep, and transformative. We are truly humbled to be the pioneer publishers of the first-ever Reference Study Bible in Indian languages.

The story of Daniel Publishing Company is one of faith, sacrifice, and a son’s devotion to his father’s vision.

The seeds were sown by Mr. A.P.Paily, a businessman with a heart for evangelism, and a church-elder who possessed profound love for Christian literature. He was the Founder, Chief Editor, and Publisher of Sathiaprakashini Magazine, established in 1936, which successfully impacted many lives for more than forty years!  

His life’s ambition was to compile a comprehensive Study Bible in Malayalam, -which was a monumental task requiring intensive manual-labor during those years.

At the time, his son, Dr. A.P.Daniel, was happily pursuing his career as a medical representative. Initially, his father’s vision for the Scriptures was not his priority, until a turning point changed his life forever. At his father’s deathbed, Daniel made a heartfelt promise to fulfill this divine mission as his last wish.

The journey was not easy. For years, Daniel managed to balance his profession during the day, while compiling the Scriptures at night, often sleeping only four hours.  With the lifelong and immense support of his wife Alice, he eventually left his career to dedicate himself entirely to his father’s dream. Together, they went on to launch their own publishing company.

Twenty years down the line, their dream came true. In 1993, they published Daniel Reference Bible in Malayalam, marking a historic milestone in Indian Christian publishing!

Their mission was unstoppable! Driven to expand this vision, they continued compiling profound study materials and soon extended their work to other Indian languages, including Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.
