“I began to form an inarticulable impression that my Dad did something for people, they liked him for it, and he seemed to enjoy his work as much he seemed to enjoy anything... almost as if he was made to serve others”

-Justin Whitmel Earley, Habits of the Household

Good Morning,

Welcome to the November 2025 newsletter by MAKE Publishing! Our mission is to educate, inspire, and equip the next generation to win in manufacturing. Please join us by bringing your children to work this month! To prepare you for this, please join us as we review each of our pillars - Read, Build, and Experience. We are honored to have your family onboard, let’s dive in!

READ

As we continue our overview of Blake Prepares for Manufacturing, this month we dive into Chapter 1; Measurement. This chapter begins and ends with Blakes favorite sport, wrestling. In between, readers are offered a view into a fast-paced and excitement-filled manufacturing business building a first-of-kind product. Through Blake’s interaction with the product, readers learn about three specific types of measurement; count, distance, and weight. Start your preparation here!

BUILD

In his book Habits of the Household, Justin Whitmel Earley describes work, and our calling to work alongside God in His creation, expertly. He calls each of us to show off the work we do outside the house like we are showing off the world God has made. Specifically, he asks us to show those who we are closest with, our family, how we serve others as we work and have fun doing it. Think your kids are too young to see this in manufacturing? Think again! Bring your kids to work this month.

EXPERIENCE
