Book of The Month

In Prophecy Before Vision, visionary thinker James Michael Matthew presents a groundbreaking approach to leadership and foresight. Drawing on his experience founding a global initiative aimed at reducing inequality, Matthew introduces a powerful framework that empowers leaders in any field to predict challenges, seize opportunities, and drive meaningful change.

This insightful book reveals the untapped potential within each of us to cultivate “prophetic” abilities-through wisdom, empathy, and generosity. By applying Matthew’s strategies-helping others succeed, fostering intellectual communities, and creating economic opportunities-leaders can address the world’s most entrenched problems, from poverty and crime to the lack of education and healthcare.

More than just theory, Prophecy Before Vision offers a bold, actionable roadmap for transforming organizations, societies, and global systems. With an emphasis on collaboration and principled leadership, this book redefines how we approach social challenges, showing that foresight is not just a gift but a skill every leader can master. For those ready to embrace a fresh, optimistic perspective on leadership, this book is a must-read. Unlock your potential to lead with vision and change the world.

Mr. Matthew’s impressive educational background complements his forward-thinking leadership. He holds a Master’s in Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship from Johns Hopkins University, an MBA from Michigan State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Auditing from the University of Illinois-Springfield. His dedication to lifelong learning is further demonstrated by postgraduate studies in Law and Sustainability and The Future of Sustainable Business at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford, as well as Artificial Intelligence Implications for Business Strategy at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Most Common Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions from authors who are new to our services or considering publishing with us.

What is a Hybrid Publishing?

Hybrid publishing is a model that combines the freedom of self-publishing with the professional support of traditional publishing. Authors invest in the process but retain full rights and creative control. Unlike traditional publishing, where the publisher owns the rights and makes the key decisions, hybrid publishing lets authors shape their book while working with a team of experts for editing, design, distribution, and marketing. It’s a flexible, partnership-based approach that offers higher royalty potential and faster turnaround—without sacrificing quality.

What sets Inktrail Press apart from others?

We handle the heavy lifting to help you publish like a pro.
