The Power Of Prayer In Today's Business World

Inspired by the Holy Spirit. Pray, Practice & Prosper - Doing Business God's Way.

Because our ways are not His ways, we have allowed ourselves to think about money and wealth incorrectly. As a result, in 2008, the United States experienced the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930’s. Can it happen again? Of course. Can it be prevented? Yes, with the right attitude about the acquisition of personal and corporate resources.

This is a one year devotional book describing these attitudes and how best to put them into practice. This book focuses on the needs of those in the marketplace, spending the majority of their lives working at their career.

God can mold your character to become who and what God has called you to be. It is done through the gift of the Holy Spirit which creates a clear vision that will guide your daily choices. As you make these choices, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, you can develop habits that grow character, improve decision making and prosper every aspect of your life with the right attitudes. Your job IS your ministry and spending 40+ hours a week at work is a great opportunity to live life God called you to live... even as you prosper through it.

Theology 101 - The Riches Of His Divine Grace

Award Winning Author,
Judy Azar LeBlanc

The word theology tends to lead people to think that it is only meant for seminarian scholars; however, the word speaks for itself by the sole definition of "the study of God's Word." Theology 101 takes a fresh look at God's Power, Character, Love, Nature, and what the finished work of Christ meant to the world in bite size portions.

It offers scripturally based truths of some of the riches of His Divine Grace that include answers to thought provoking questions such as what is predestination; who are the chosen; the called, and the elect.

The author uses everyday language to explain what it means to be justified, reconciled, forgiven, and offers a clear and easy to understand explanation of why practicing merited grace contradicts Christ's finished work on the cross.

Review Date: November 05, 2010

Reviewed By: Brenda of CBM'S Christian Book Reviews
9.5 on a scale of 10.0 stars

“Imagine God” is one of those books that you will not want to put down. Like fresh manna from heaven, the book is masterfully and beautifully written, full of wise counsel, filled with life changing applications and is simply a blessing to read.

Author H. Eric Fearman, dispels darkness and ushers in God’s glorious light by revealing eternal biblical truths about mankind’s God given imagination from a biblical and practical perspective. The author brings to the forefront that all knowledge begins with God, His living Word and God’s plans and purposes in our lives. This book will enable every reader to take hold of powerful kingdom truths.

Carefully constructed through diligent meditation and instruction from God’s Holy word, “Imagine God” will not only encourage you on a deeper walk with God, but also stir your heart to dig deeper into God’s precious word. This book is a faith builder that will help to guide you into greater depths of God’s plans and purposes for your life. “Imagine God” shares pearls that open doors to kingdom principles and truths that will enable you to live a prosperous and abundant life through the simplicity of the understanding of who you are in Christ and the gifts that God has blessed you with.

If applied, the teachings in this book will not only change your inner life, but also cause an inner awakening to be birthed with in you. As someone who reads books authored by many within the body of Christ, “Imagine God” opened my heart to some fresh and exciting realities.
If you desire a closer walk with God, then read this book and allow yourself to embrace the powerful spiritual truths set forth. This book will enrich your life, expand your faith and provide you with fruit bearing seed from God’s Word.

God created us in His image and God created our imagination. This book through sound biblical insight built upon the scriptures that God, the creator of all things, created our imagination and works through our imagination is an excellent read. “Imagine God” describes the process of the mind of man whereby the renewal of the mind through God’s word will cause you to see yourself as God sees you and enable you to accomplish His will, His plans and His purposes for your life through accessing the imagination that God gave you.

This is a must read for every believer, those seeking a deeper relationship with God and is a blessing to the body of Christ.

Christian Book Marketing Ideas

Here are some basic must do's that I recommend to all authors with regards to marketing their books, both Christian and secular.

1st: You must have a Authors Website or blog that showcases you as a author, your book, that shares about your book, where and how to order it and how to contact you as author.

2nd: You must have a professional book review service review your book and write a professional book review. Here is a hint, make sure that you use a Christian Book Review service and not a secular book review service.

3rd: You must create a online presence so that book lovers can find you and your book. This is where your authors website or blog comes into play, however, you must market your site also. While you can perform some of the marketing yourself by joining various author book related sites, you must also set a budget aside for a book marketing campaign.

4th: Authors business cards and book markers are another great marketing tool. Be sure to place your book title, ISBN number, and website address on them along with other information. I recomend starting with Vista Print.

5th: Creating and marketing. Let me say that again. Creating and MARKETING a book trailer that showcases your book in another powerful way to promote and market your book.

6th: You must pursue book signings at local bookstores, churches and wherever God may open doors for you. I also recommend that you study up on how to put on a great book signing and one that is designed to attract book lovers while also impressing the bookstore management at the same time. A well planed successful book signing event can open further doors for additional book signing events.

7th and most important. Do your homework before you put your plans into motion.

Book Marketing

Marketing one's book requires a game plan. The competition out there is intense. Even as your reading this post, authors, publishers, and marketing firms are all creating marketing concepts to launch their own book or a clients book. Many authors ask me what is the key to success? My first answer is always educate yourself. Find what works best for you as a author and your book. Find that arena that best fits. If your a Christian author, market the Christian Marketplace. If your book is about the Great Outdoors, market people that are into camping, hiking, and out doors. If your book is about great foods and cooking, then that is your market. Start with the basics. Find your market ...

Author Promotions Using The Internet

In this economy many authors are choosing the self promoting route. While most author promotions and book marketing experts don't recommend this, there's no doubt that there has been a increase in the self promoting author and especially those that have self published. If that's you, I encourage you to take the time and do your homework before jumping into the marketing arena. While it may seem easy, one soon finds out that it's not, few find success and it's very time consuming.

Yes you can build your own blog, but the question is do you know how to build and launch a successful blog and do you have the time to learn the process and everything surrounding that process? Yes you can join various author sites, interact with other authors, share your book, book cover and so on. However, are other authors your market? Yes there are some great authors forums out there, however, and once again is that where book lovers hang out or authors? Then there's the Internet, the search engines, key words, labels, how the search engines work and many other things to consider coupled with the fact that they are constantly changing and evolving.

My point being while all these things can be fun and a part of building a network while creating book buzz, they are and should be seen as secondary to a well thought out authors promotions and book marketing plan. Here is a simple author promotions and book marketing plan for the new and self published author. Let's call it class 101 for authors.

1) Have a professional authors web site built.

2) Get your own .com that fits your book and marketing plan.

3) Have someone with the knowledge build or help you build and launch a professional blog.

4) Create a network that promotes you, your book, your web site and your blog that markets and promotes you as a author and your book not to other authors, but to book lovers within your market and buying audience.

5) Understand that you will not become a overnight success, that it takes hard work and time.

That's simple, now get started.

Just imagine having a book marker that has your book cover on it, your name as author, the title and ISBN number on it? How about where and how to order your book?

You might consider checking out Vista Print for some of your printing needs. Visit offers many free services, great prices and great discounts.

Online Book Promotions For The Christian Author

Where does a first time author start when they are promoting their books online? If you have self published chances are you have a authors page. However, having a single authors page or being on Amazon is just a small part of the equation.

Here are 9 things to consider for the self published and self promoting author. The 1st five are the most important and must be well thought out, planed and put into motion. You must have a vision.

1) A Authors Website
2) A Authors Blog
3) A Authors Page
4) A Book Trailer
5) Book Reviews
6) Joining Author Related Networks
7) Building Your Own Network
8) Having A 1 Year Marketing Plan That You Put Into Motion 1 Step At A Time
9) Paid Book Marketing Promotions
