BOOK COACH (BookCoachLatino) was established in 2005 by Sam Rodriguez and his wife A.G., who co-founded and helms the company with her husband. A prodigious love for books that can be traced back to his early childhood in Cuba, has led Sam to enjoy over 25 successful years in the publishing industry. There, his highly effective skillsets and work-ethic, brought him to serve in a wide range of prominent leadership and management positions at numerous celebrated publishing houses and organizations.
Some of the highlights on Sam’s resume include organizations such as: Christ for all Nations, (Director of Product Development, 2015-2022); Worthy Latino (Executive Director, 2014-2015); Spanish House, Inc. (VP, Product Development, 2010-2013); Crown Financial Ministry (Marketing-Media Director, 2009-2010); and Thomas Nelson Publishers — Spanish (Associate Publisher, 1991-2008). Sam has also enjoyed a successful tenure as a book coach, serving authors, speakers, pastors, and Christian leaders in their efforts to successfully expand their ministry platform and outreach to an international scope.
Additionally, Sam has helped launch life-changing products into the Spanish and Anglo markets of several influential ministries. Some of the Christian leaders he has worked with include Max Lucado, John C. Maxwell, Reinhard Bonnke, Dave Ramsey, John Mason, Andy Andrews, Benny Hinn, Stormie Omartian, John Hagee, Charles Swindoll, Marilyn Hickey, Charles Stanley, Cindy Jacobs, John Eldredge, Jack Hayford, Luis Palau, and many others.
Sam & A.G.’s ministry began in 1987, when they founded “It Is Finished Ministry,” an international non-profit organization that provided prayer support, counseling, and teaching, as well as organizing conferences. A.G. Rodriguez is a published author and contributor to the “Hayford: New Spirit-Filled Life Bible for Women.” Her missionary trips, 267-and counting, have allowed her to preach to the forgotten faces and hungry hearts in many remote areas across five continents. In addition, A.G. has also been involved with managing a desktop publishing business for over a decade.
In 1997, Sam & A.G. founded “Pueblo de Fe,” an event organization that helped facilitate platforms for international leaders to engage with a live audience. He also pioneered the “March for Jesus” in Miami, FL in the 1990s, a watershed event that brought over 23,000 believers together to seek the Lord. While serving as VP at Unilit, 2012, found Sam directing “EXPOLIT” which hosted the largest documented Hispanic Christian trade show.
Through BOOK COACH, and their team of professionals, Sam and A.G. have found a wonderful way of merging both the industry they love with the higher calling of service to others.
Most organizations are keenly aware of the benefit unique to an experienced industry professional who can navigate, manage, and facilitate the complex phases of product development. Our hope is that you will allow BOOK COACH the privilege of serving you, with your next project.
