About the Owner/Author
India Smith, born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, is an ordinary woman being used by an all-powerful God. While there is much that could be said about her life, her family, and her personal interests, the truth is: everything good in her life is because of God. He deserves all the glory and honor. Through His patience, love, mercy, and grace, God is using an ordinary woman to impact lives. Every word written, every message shared, and every life touched is a reflection of His power at work. All that India is because of God. This is not about India —it is about God.
Inspired Manuscripts Evolution
IMS Books began as nothing more than a thought—a dream I had at 24 years old. As I grew in my love for reading, I always imagined building a business where I could write and sell my own books, while also helping others bring their stories to life through writing and publishing.
Originally, IMS came from my initials. But once the company was officially created, I realized I wanted it to represent something greater than just me. I wanted IMS to carry meaning—something that reflects both its purpose and its impact.
Through reflection and meditation, the meaning became clear: Inspired Manuscripts.
This is the foundation of everything IMS stands for.
Every book connected to the IMS brand is meant to inspire—to encourage people to grow, to think more deeply, and to pursue a better version of their lives. Inspired Manuscripts Books are created to guide readers toward a deeper understanding of their purpose, reminding them of the importance of striving for greatness and walking in the calling that our Heavenly Father has placed within them.
What is to Come
IMS Books is continuing to grow with purpose and vision. In the days ahead, readers can expect more books written by India Smith, along with works from other authors who share a passion for inspiring and uplifting others.
IMS Books is committed to consistently adding new books to the website throughout the year and for many years to come.
In addition to publishing, IMS Books will provide weekly Bible Lessons designed to help people better understand the Word of God and apply it to their daily lives.
At its core, IMS Books is a business that cares deeply about the growth of people—spiritually, mentally, and personally. Every book, every teaching, and every message is created with the intention of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ while inspiring others through the power of reading.
