    Afraid to write your story? You are not alone.

    - By 

    It’s a new year and time to make it a point this year to write your story: yet that pesky monster of rejection is always looming over your shoulder, convincing you (and other authors) that your stories aren’t worth sharing with others. Regularly, I come across manuscripts where authors say they have struggled with whether to publish their books or not, mainly due to the fear of no one reading their stories. Our question though for these authors (and all authors for that matter) is; how do you know that your biography, your children’s book, your book on being a…

    - By 

    The greatest reward to a pastor is knowing that the words of his/her sermon have impacted the congregation, primarily with their current relationship with Jesus Christ or if they seek to establish a relationship with their Savior. Given these positive, life-changing responses to the sermon, it will then only be a matter of time before the thought arises of publishing the sermon (or sermon series) as a professional book.
