This is the cover for my book that I have coming in 2011 from Tate Publishing. I want to tell a story about the book and how it all began.
I got tired of hearing all the negativity in the media...another foreclosures, job loss, business closing... and it caught my attention. I know from experience that if you keep rehearsing negative things then eventually negative is all that will be produced. You see we are a "voice-activated" people. If we speak it..it will be.
As I prayed about this..of course I went to God, the only true source I know that is never caught up in the changes of time but it always consistent and sure.. and I got the idea to send emails to all my buddies to encourage them. I called it Words of Encouragements.
I did this for over one year. Unbelievable. And the response blew my mind. My email list grew and I was receiving back words of encouragement from people I did not even know. God is great.!!
This is how the book started. I submitted my manuscript to Tate Publishing and actually forgot about it. I knew the material was good but I also know how fierce a market publishing is. I was elated when they called me to say what I had submitted had caught their attention. God is great!!!
The Title I believe is God-sent. Literally. There are many winds blowing right now trying to take us away that we have to be strong and withstand it. Like winds of fear & unrest.
The staff at Tate are professional and they really helped me with the process. The whole process is long...but I know that this is going to help others and so I am patient.
So here we are. I am at the layout stage of the book. I should be getting it back by the end of this month and I will keep you guys posted. By then I will know the price. I am so excited. I can hardly wait.
It will be available for purchase online and at Borders and Amazon.
PS. I am already writing my next book...
