You get what you pay for, even with publishers. When looking at publishers keep in mind that they want to make money off your book. That is why not many publishers will take on a book, free of charge, unless you are a well known auther or personality or your book strikes them as a soon to be best seller. I wouldn't count on the later especially if you haven't been published before. All these things (issues) play a role in getting a book published.
Myself, although I have been in the ministry for 21 years (since 1985) and have some books published I am still relatively unknown when it comes to the United States. I have been on TV also but they were only local cable talk shows.
My best avenue would, probably, be to remain with some good self-publishers, the ones who do more than just edit and print your book, but will publicize and market your book if paid. I have found such publishers and I will share the info. with you if I can, here or if you give me a link, or maybe here (mailto;anotherfav@yahoo.com).
The one thing that is absolutely required, whether you go with a self-, subsidy- or traditional publisher, is a publisher with a good reputable imprint. See, when some people and bookstores get ready to buy a book they look at the publisher and if it's a good one then they are more confident in that book.
