Stress-free Discipline

We have another new book in our Legacy Line division by Judith DeSelm Bonner.
Stress-free Discipline gives you tested, unique, time-saving tools for tots-to-teens discipline!
This step-by-step plan not only reduces stress, it builds lifelong love, teamwork, life skills and responsibility.
* Age-related expectations are clear and realistic
*Children grow into adulthood almost painlessly
* Punishment is rare, but sometimes the best consequence
* Negatives are minimized, releasing energy for building and bonding
* Rewards are simple, fun and educational
*The whole family grows

As the father of a son with special needs, I feel this book should be required reading for everyone involved in an IEP—educators and parents alike…From many years of being a small group pastor and counselor, I consistently see the need for parents to find the kind of equipping offered in this your book.

The Ultimate Pursuit

After high school graduation, Carl enlisted in the U.S. Navy, was assigned to Guam and there in a dorm found himself being offered heroin for the first time. After multiple refusals to get high, he gave in once, which launched a 15-year downward spiral in his life. Carl became entrenched in the drug world as a heroin and cocaine user, smuggling drugs and living only for his next fix.

Personal experiences are brought to life from inside his maximum-security prison. “Drugs took me where I did not want to go, made me stay there longer than I wanted to stay, demanding more of me than I wanted to give.” He communicates what it felt like to be homeless, hopeless and a convict lost on the very streets he grew up on. He did not care whether he lived or died…but a much higher power did.

When all hope was lost and it looked as if he would die a dope fiend, an old friend wrote him in a letter while in prison about a Christian program called Teen Challenge. Here he would be loved, taught the Bible, and how to live a life free from drugs and the horrible life he knew.

This poignant, true-life story will grip your heart as you journey with a man on The Ultimate Pursuit.

Social Networking

If there is one thing I have come to believe about humans it is that God gave them a creative mind. Another thing I have come to understand it is that God has given us a desire for fellowship. These two attributes of humanity have caused some amazing inventions to be created. One of the most recent is the whole area of social networking.

We can now communicate with each other in ways I never could have imagined growing up in the 50’s and 60’s. Way back then you either yelled to your friends or had to dial a telephone that was inconveniently connected to the wall by a wire. The person we wanted to communicate with had to be either near by or close to their phone.

Now we have cell phones that have access to Facebook, my space, twitter, e-mail, and with the aid of blue tooth can be hooked over your ear constantly. Now if we could just learn to love each other enough to communicate truth and encouragement.

Why Books Don't Sell

This morning I was wondering, "What do so many authors give up on their books just months after publication?" I believe the answers rest in unreasonable expectations.Here are a few facts for you to consider about publishers in general, and about Christian publishing (such as CSN Books , and secular publishing, such as Legacy Line Publishing).Once a book is released, UNLESS the publisher has put up a large amount of money for promotion, the book will sit without some sort of plan.To help promote your book, your plan needs to start with YOU - you wrote the book, you love it, and you feel it is worthy to talk about.So talk.Visit any local venue where you can share your story - hospitals, various clubs in your hometown, libraries, etc. Just because you are an author who wrote the book, don't expect the publishing company to do the rest. We need your help!
Thanks for listening. What's your feedback?

Who Promotes Your Book?

As one of the national Christian publishers , and as CEO of both a Christian and a secular publishing company, over the years I have grown to learn a few things about our authors.Most authors want their book to be successful, but are not willing to put in the time to promote their book after it is published.Make no mistake about it - when your book is published, it is like birthing a baby - your work has just begun!No matter who is your publisher , it still takes hard work on your part to get your book out there.Be resourceful. Visit local newspapers. Speak on local radio shows. Visit local libraries. The more you do, the more likely your book will be successful.
Thanks,
Dr. Mike

New Book Release

I attended a book release party for one of our newest authors from our new division, Legacy Line Publishing. I always enjoy these parties but this one was especially rewarding. The book is entitled The Lyme Diet by Dr. Nicola McFadzean. She treats children with autism and was noticing many of the mothers of her patients were experiencing extreme fatigue. Through her personal research she found in many cases the cause of this fatigue was Lyme disease. This book offers effective nutritional strategies for healing from Lyme disease. This form of treatment has now become a major focus of her medical practice and she is finding that this problem is a national epidemic.

You can find more information about her book at www.thelymediet.com.

A Critical Spirit

I am facing a quandary at the beginning of this new week. Someone I respect was very critical of a ministry I highly respect. In prayer this morning I sincerely asked God what is the truth regarding this matter. He began to remind me of many people who we might be critical of or who actually received criticism. This pertains primarily to their passion or emotional response to God.

One of these was King David as he was dancing and was observed by his wife Michal. Another was Hannah as she was pleading with God for a child. Both were criticized for their behavior. I was also reminded of the many moral failures mentioned in scripture. Based on the reasoning of some, David should have turned over his reign or at least sent Bathsheba away after his sin.

I guess my concern this morning is whether we still desire the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil more than we desire the fruit of the tree of life.

Investigate Your Publisher

Books - both Christian and secular - are always a challenge to write . But, after publication, seclecting a Christian publisher or one who will return profits to you on publishing is not very easy. There are a number of plans out there, and each claims to be the best.My advice?Do your homework.Ask yourself these questions..."What publisher will return the most profit back to me, the author ?""Is national distribution available ?""Will I still own my book ?""Will the company be responsive to my needs ?"These and many other questions must be answered in your search for a publisher . You took the proper amount of time to create your book , so now, be sure to take a proper amount of time to investigate your publisher .

Rendering Unto Caesar

At this time when we are thinking about “rendering unto Caesar” are we remembering to render unto God. My experience has taught me that the more Caesar is requiring the more diligent I need to be in my stewardship unto God. His principles always work and He is always faithful. Our responsibility is to be obedient to the faith.

We see ourselves as a ministry first and as Christians who happen to be in the publishing business. Our desire is to serve those who put their trust in us.

Time of Turmoil?

Many feel we are in a time of turmoil. What truth has the Lord revealed to you to help others in a time such as this? How are we to respond to trials and temptation? What experience do you have in triumphing over circumstances?

Our personal testimonies and experiences in God can be greatly used by the Spirit of God to lift and encourage others. If God has gifted you as a writer and/or speaker be strong and of great courage and share your gift. Our prayer is that we can use our gifts to enhance what God has given you and make it available to others in need.

Just Do It!

Amazingly, writing a book to be accepted by Christian publishers , or even secular publishers , might be easier than you first think.The initial step is to simply begin by scheduling a time to write . So many authors are stopped by their own fear , and by their lack of proper planning .The next step is to do it!When you complete your book , kindly remember CSN Books when you are ready to submit . As an author myself, I especially appreciate the opportunity to give a free read and review to prospective authors .Looking forward to seeing your book! Dr. Mike Wourms

Today is a day of book-selling challenge. Only the strong and persistent will survive.

YOU Are Important to Promoting Your Book!

The secret to promoting your book is YOU!Not bookstores.Not Amazon.It is mainly up to YOU - the author - to have a campaign in place to promote your book. After all, no one has invested the time in it that you have - to dream about it, to eventually write it, and to be the force behind its publication.Once your book is complete, don't take the year off - start campaigning for your book in libraries, in conferences and in seminars.Speak anywhere you can speak.Share anywhere you can share.Blog.Send out emails.Create your own website.In short, don't even rely on your publisher to do the work. The book is your baby. Be the main force behind it - especially after its publication.As you do, others will join in your enthusiasm.

Easter Earthquake?

Who is going to write the first book on the significance of a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on Easter Sunday? I seem to recall a couple of earthquakes that happened around the first Easter. One split the curtain that separated God from His people and allowed us to have direct relationship with Him for the first time since Adam’s fall. The next one moved the stone from the tomb. Could this earthquake have had a similar significance? Even the number 7 has significance.

If not a subject for one of our authors to write about it is at least something to pray about.
