Title: Angel With A Mission
Author: Donna Boddy
ISBN # 9781462010615
Review Date: April 19, 2011
Reviewed by: Christian Book Reviews
10.0 on a scale of 10.0 stars

From Author Donna Boddy comes Angel With A Mission, a captivating and inspiring story of true love, tragedy, loss, and the restoration, forgiveness and redemption that is found in Christ. This intriguing novel offers immense hope in the midst of overcoming great adversity.

Let Author, Donna Boddy, transport you back in time, as she invites you to take a journey through life with young Kata. A woman who had everything this world had to offer. A promising career and fame, a loving husband and family, wealth, a high place in society, stability and security, but as life would have it sometimes these things can change rather abruptly. And although life is ever changing, what do you do about it when you come to the end of yourself and life as you once knew it has forever changed?

A triumphant story of restoration, this novel follows Kata during some of history’s most memorable moments to include war torn Germany, during the Great War. Kata weathers the dismal storms of many of these challenges and life’s tragedies, as we all have, but comes to find a greater hope. This is an overwhelming, emotional and delightful novel that will have you fully engaged. You will not be able to put this book down with this powerful novel that will have you sometimes crying and grabbing for a tissue, as you follow Kata through her life’s winding path.

Author Donna Boddy’s writing style flows so well and eloquently, it’s like you’re right there with Kata in each scene. This is a wonderful novel of a life interrupted by betrayal, war, sickness, death and tragedy, yet offers true biblical inspiration and strength to the trials and tribulations that we can all face in life. Relying on powerful spiritual truths, the author will lift you up and encourage you in your faith as you follow Kata on her life’s journey where you might find your own story within the pages of this exhilarating novel. None of us are exempt from life’s tragedies and tribulations. We all have our own grief to bear and burdens to carry. This novel will point you to the One that cares for you. Truly an encouraging, captivating, faith builder!

This book would make a wonderful ministry tool to those who are weary or to those that do not know Christ. One can look at your own life through the pages of this intricate novel and find that there is a familiar sense that we’ve all been there before. This novel will leave you with an undeniable and unshakable faith. A true mini-series in the making and I will be looking forward to the next sequel!

9.8 on a scale of 10.0

A must read book, The Treasures Of Darkness by Carol Lee Anderson will keep you coming back for more as this mysterious novel unfolds.

With characters that will move the imagination, the author has masterfully woven the pages of this book together to captivate the soul. Expect to become fully engaged as the sinister plots unfolds and darkness attempts to prevail.

Cryptic messages, the mysterious words found in a diary, the mythical stranger, the powerful dragon god and the plot to overthrow the kingdom of Bellicosa are only but a few glimpses into this wonderful novel filled with mystery and imagination.

Framed from Psalm 107, the author sets a powerful backdrop from which an adventure story of intrigue, betrayal, and slavery prevail in the darkness, but yet there is a deliverer, the One who sets the captives free, that delivers men from their manifold troubles and fills the hungry soul with what is good. A triumphant novel filled with overcoming adversity in the midst of great trials.

Come and follow young Julen taken from her home as only a innocent child, only to be brought and sold into slavery with no hope of redemption, until she meets the mysterious One who is her deliverer, who has the power to break her bonds apart and set her high upon the rock and hidden from her enemies.

Set sail with young Damon and rebellious Jip. Follow Bina and Julen through the treacherous desert as they look for refuge in such a wasteland. Enlightening and captivating is this book, a must read and page-turner.

A captivating story of redemption and triumphant rescue. We are all treasures hidden in the darkness waiting for the One to rescue, come and be filled with hope. A wonderful and delightful novel.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

( A Christian Book Marketing Press Release ) May 6, 2010

Hang On, It’s Not Over Yet
Author: Joseph Arhavbarien
ISBN 9781907294419
Adapted from CBM Book Review

Author Joseph Arhavbarien, releases a powerful book, built on the firm foundation of God’s Word -

“Life Changing, Encouraging and Faith Building”

Author Joseph Arhavbarien in his book, “Hang On, It’s Not Over Yet” writes in a concise and organized manner to show that in the face of great adversity one can move forward in life to realize their dreams and find victory.

The author sets a firm foundation upon which one can build, revealing a step by step path of finding success in life and how to overcome overwhelming circumstances, while exhorting the reader to have a definitive goal and not to give up, even in the face of great difficulties. The author continues to encourage all that a positive, believing attitude is of utmost importance while waiting for the unseen to be seen. The author reveals that all is not lost and that one must ‘hang on’ to their dreams while trusting and relying upon God Almighty to help bring them to pass.

The author teaches that trust and belief upon what God has spoken to you and upon what the Word of God says is also a key factor. This book continues to encourage the importance of searching out the scriptures and coming to the knowledge and wisdom of what God has to say about your life and your destiny, while teaching that all have a predestined destiny. This book will stretch your faith, stir your faith, strengthen your faith and help you to see your dreams come true.

Using his experiences, despite overwhelming circumstances, from his own life coupled with some notable historical figures, the author lays foundational principles that with faith in Christ through trust and perseverance, one can continue on to the road to victory. Despite situations, circumstances, age, gender, creed, culture or environment, this book will stir your faith that, “All things are possible with God and for those who believe”.

Not only a good read, this book is very uplifting and encouraging whereby it counsels one on the path of how to achieve great things in life and not only gain success in the temporal world we live in, but also keeping in mind the spiritual laws that also govern our world. As air is invisible to the naked eye, so to are the spiritual laws that God has set forth in this universe. The author encourages you to seek wisdom from God and therefore adhere to these spiritual laws.

“Hang On, It’s Not Over Yet” is a work of encouragement, not merely as words written, but from the application of life experiences of those finding victory in the face of great adversity and overwhelming obstacles.

This book will not only edify and encourage you to live your life to the fullest, but to also never give up on your dreams until you see them through to fruition.

strategic christian book marketing

The Big question that every author asks. How does a Christian author go about promoting his or her book? I would encourage you to place a book marketing plan into motion. Marketing a Christian book and title can be quite challenging and finding successful ways to tap into both the Christian and secular marketplace is important. Here is a very simply plan to follow that will help you promote both you as author and your Christian book.

1) Christian Website Design - You must first focus on a home base or platform to work from. Creating a professional authors website is a 10 on a scale of 10. You can also utilize a blog and especially if you have the knowledge and time to create a professional blog that will attract visitors. However, if you don't have a minimum of a year or two creating professional websites and/or blogs to include a understanding of search engine optimization, and how the Internet functions. You could do more damage than good to your professional image as a author.

2) Book Reviews - A professional book review can be a very powerful marketing tool when use properly and I'm not talking about on Amazon. There are millions of titles on Amazon and endless book reviews. It's very easy to with high hopes get lost among the numbers.

3) What does a professional Christian Book Review look like? There are many sites that write book reviews. However, as a Christian author who has written a book to the Glory of God, you just can't in trust your book to any book reviews service. Your book requires a reviewer with a understanding in the word of God, Kingdom principles and that shares a relationship with Christ.

4) Book Trailers - A professional book trailer is also a powerful way and tool to promote and market one's book. People are visual and they love short movie clips. The movie industry has used movie trailers for years and with great success. Today authors from all walks are taking advantage of the book trailer craze.

5) Authors Press Releases - A professional authors press release is a great way to get the word out about your new book release. There are even free press release sites where you can submit your press release for publication.

6) Christian Authors Pages - A Christian authors page is a single page at a website that markets your book to the visitors and readers of that website. The marketing consists of a photo (jpg.) of your book cover, a short description and a link back to your authors website or blog.

7) Christian Book Marketing - Expanded book marketing and SEO. Driving traffic and gathering the attention of potential book lovers can be challenging. The Internet is a very huge ocean of websites, blogs and interactions and changes daily. This is where expanded marketing of your website or blog can help you to find success. At a minimum, you are going to have to create hundreds of links that are found on the major search engines so that people can find your website under various word searches and this requires not only the sites to market on, but also the understanding of how this procedure unfolds.

And most importantly, prayer. Prayer is key in finding success not just as a author, but as a Christian.

Title: Woman Of Sin

Reviewed by: Christian Book Reviews
10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars

Be transported back through the very portals of time in the novel “Woman of sin”. In a time when Caesars ruled and Rome was at its height of authority and power. Enter into a land harsh to the poor and kind to the rich and elite. One where slavery was common and justice had little place. A land and time where Jesus ‘the Nazarene’ walked the earth in the midst of the injustice and chaotic darkness. This is a gripping novel that will keep you coming back for more.

Author Debra Diaz, in her fast paced novel, “Woman of Sin” takes you back through the centuries in her timeless classic. Follow young Alysia down her road of capture from her place of privilege in her Athenian home, to a Roman household to be bound forever as a slave. Taken from her home she loses everything, but she is yet to gain everything at the end of her road of travel. She is about to find true love in every sense of the word.

Author Debra Diaz elegantly and beautifully weaves an unforgettable story of true love, mirroring scenes taken from the scriptures, where young Alysia is tested by trials and tribulations back in a time where women were of little esteem, except for their purpose in child bearing. Perseverance, romance, forbidden love, and endless unfailing love, take you on an adventure that you will not forget.

With the use of beautiful, descriptive and explosive imagery, biblical scenes come alive as the author uses the “Woman of Sin” to introduce the reader to a man called Jesus as He walked the earth and preached. Some called him ‘rabboni’ the word for ‘great teacher.’ Yet as the story unfolds you will see that he is more than a great teacher, for he can perform such miracles as healing a leper, healing the blind and the paralyzed, even raising the dead. He was the Son of God walking the earth, the lamb without sin, crucified for our sins so that we might live. Without His resurrection from the cross, he would be little more than a famed teacher to once have graced this earth. The author leads you to want to know more about this Jesus.

Filled with suspense and romance, this novel is eloquently written and will take the reader back through time and lead you on a journey that is so real, so tangible, you’ll not want it to end. A true masterpiece! This book comes highly recommended. You will not be able to put this one down, I assure you! The book is truly a mini-series in the making. Take a journey through the very portals of time, back through the centuries and experience the thrill of entering into a never-ending tale of undying love that will grip your very soul.

Theology 101 In Bite Size Pieces

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.

The play is about an arrogant millionaire who does not believe in God and Jesus Christ's Salvation for man. The millionaire believes man is the measure of all things and not God.

He demands Satan look into the matter at once and complains it's to hot in hell and asks Satan to turn the air conditioners on.

Satan tries to convince the millionaire there is no paper work mix up and hell is where he belongs. The millionaire not hearing any of it tells Satan he needs better customer service in hell because he would never hire him.

Because our ways are not His ways, we have allowed ourselves to think about money and wealth incorrectly.

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.

“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.

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.

chrisian book trailers

They Are A Powerful Marketing Tool, Christian Book Trailers.

The above trailer is a simple yet affective book trailer that shares a message with the viewer while promoting the author and the authors book. Book trailers also called video trailers provide publishers, book marketeers, authors and writer numerous ways to market a book.

One of the problems for the Christian author is finding a Christian book trailer service. There are lots of book trailer producers out there and many of them will produce video and book trailers for all types of books. The key is finding a Christian book trailer service to produce a book trailer that shares your book using Kingdom principles, the Word of God and that makes your book trailer appealing in the Christian Marketplace.

Check out Christian Book Marketing's Christian Book Trailers page.

Marketing Christian Books

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.

Author Promotions & Book Marketing

Here are some simple places and ways to promote your book online. Of course 1st you need a authors web site, authors blog or authors page, however, once you have one of the three you can start promoting your book and site.

Author Media Promotions

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.

Authors Blog Class 101

For those of you that are considering launching a blog here is a authors blog in the makings and unfolding. As with most sites found on the web, everything starts from scratch with a overall vision and then starts unfolding one creation and one page at a time.

First a author needs to decide on which blogging community to go with. Personally I like blogger and for various reasons from A to Z. Second you must pick a template to work with. Now for the best part regarding templates with blogger. You can change template designs at any time or within any process of building your blog from start to finish and blogger has some pretty awesome templates to choose from.

After you have chosen a template, next comes putting the furniture in the house so to speak and laying out your blog using the design program, color choices, ad ons and extras. I would recommend laying out your side bars first with all the ad ons, extras and goodies if possible because the length of your side bar will also determine the length of your blog and how many posts that you display on the home page.

There are millions of blogs on line so take some time to look around and determine which blogging community and template that you want to start out with, how you want the overall appearance of your blog to look and this will make things a lot easier. If you use blogger to build and launch your blog spend some time in the management program viewing all the templates, ad ons and extras. This will make your designing process and finished product go and look much cleaner.

Check out God's Nuggets, a Christian Authors Blog unfolding to see a blog in it's beginning stages.

Something else to consider from the get go is your blog address. Think this one out and create a blog address that best describes your blog, you as author or your book.

And the best part, if you choose blogger just follow the simple instructions and you will be live and online in minutes.

author

Too many times I come by author blogs that are created more so for the author than the visitor and reader of the blog. It's as if the author has designed their blog to make a statement or just to get their name up in lights.

A authors blog should be tailored to the visitor, the reader or the book lover. It should be created with simplicity in mind providing just enough information to capture the readers attention. The whole purpose of a authors blog is to promote, market and share your books with book lovers and readers.

So what should the basis of a authors blog be built upon?

1) A short description about the author with a authors head shot.
2) A short description about the book with a cover shot of the book.
3) Some reviews about the book.
4) A sneak preview into 1 or two pages of the book.
5) Where and how to order the book.
6) Some links that share where and how to order the book.
7) Some other short interesting writings or poetry to share with interested readers.

Of course from the above list one could become creative, but the who purpose of a authors blog is to create a simple marketing blog that showcases the book 1st, the author 2nd and how and where to order the book or books 3rd.

Are you fast into promoting and marketing your books. If that is the case, I would imagine that you are following the authors buzz circuit. Blink, I'm sure your wondering what the authors buzz circuit is? Me too, but what it boils down to is all these authors running around from site to site trying to get their name in lights while creating some fame and book buzz.

That's when authors attempt to pump up their book sales by hanging out at authors sites. You know, these cool sites where gazillions of authors register, hang out, interact and try and sell each other their books. Now that's targeted marketing. Imagine McDonalds trying to sell In N Out Hamburgers and french fries.

1st let me encourage you that while it is a lot of fun to hang out with other authors and writers, interact and share information. Authors write books and only make up for a very small tiny percentage of book buyers. In fact it's so tiny that it's not worth mentioning. You must not fall into that trap believing that you will find success selling your books on authors sites. Yes I know you get the cool profile pic, you can uplaod your book cover, create a description, click a few buttons and there you are in lights. Along with a kazillion other authors and books. Impressive.

Don't get me wrong there are a few premire sites out there that as a author you want to get pluged into. However authors that run around from site to site to site registering and interacting at these authors sites will find their inbox and email filled with not book sales, but simply online interactions, which can be fun by the way. However, I believe that what every author is hoping for is book sales. Right?

All authors must find the market that their book falls into and tap into that market and just because some forum, group or site has a room set to the side that your book falls into doesn't mean anything when it comes to sales.

Focus on the following:

1) A Authors site or blog. (This is a must)
2) A sister site or sister blog. (It's nice to have a fulltime salesmen)
3) Promoting and marketing those sites. (Bingo, this is key)
4) Prime networking using targeted marketing. (Marketing 101)

The above 4 things should be your 1st priority for online marketing. You must create your own network that shares you as author, about your book, contact information, additional content of interest and where and how to order your books. Then you must market your site, blog and network.

If you need some advice, assistance or a online specialist to help you with the above. Contact us at kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com as we can help.

We also assist authors in creating online promotional pages, authors media blogs and other forms of marketing and author promotions.

Author Book Marketing & Blogs

Every author must have a authors site of blog. However, in this post lets talk blogs. Blogs provide you with a great way to promote, market and share your book online. With a blog you can also join other great blogging communities, networks and social clubs that you can't with a website. With a blog you can add your blog address to many profiles in endless networks, communities and social communities that do not except websites. You see, the blogging world is a HUGE online world and a world of it's own.

With a blog you can easily upload photos, place daily content posts, add other great online programs, services, images and all sorts of things that are usually built right into the design and management program. With a blog you can create a simpe easy promotions and marketing platform or a intense platform.

Many times authors either don't have the experience or the time to design and create a authors blog. If that's you, contact us as we can help.

Many authors don't realize that they can build a really nice blog to showcase their books from. Just imagine having a blog that showcases your book, the book description, about the author, where and how to order the books and other important information.
