Patricia Marshall

When you have totally forgiven the enemy, you have crossed over into the supernatural realm.
This book is not a devotional for the casual Christian soldier. It is a much needed guide for anyone who desires to be free from the past pain of abuse. Patricia has centered her devotional on the traumatic experiences of her own life, the brutal rape and beating by three employees at at state hospital, the robbing of a liquor store, living homeless in a park, and the curse of witchcraft put on her as a child, and woven them into a rich and thought provoking book.
Her hope is to see people set free and healed from the emotional scars that want to take over the hearts and lives of God's people. This guide will show you that only through the power of forgiveness can you be set totally free.
Throughout people's lives, circumstances close in and sometimes life can look pretty dark-even in broad daylight. Let God open a few windows for you and let the love of Christ come in and heal the open wounds that have festered for years.

Book bt Bobby McCallister

This book is for and to all during a time when everyone has great expectations of God doing the greatest work and manifestation man has ever known. We hear statements such as the open heaven, the day of the Lord, the indwelling, the third day, etc. These kinds of declarations must have some definitive answers otherwise they are merely myths and mystical phrases without foundations to stand on. The book of Hosea states that "the people of God persih for he lackof knowledge." Lack of knowledge meaning a clear understanding of what is being said and happening in the economy of God.

The Discipline of Writing

“I have an incredible story; I just need help writing it.” Is this you? You feel overwhelmed thinking about how to get you story into book form. The best thing to do is just to start writing. An experienced editor or ghostwriter can take what you have written and create a high quality book without taking away from your personality or changing the foundation of your message.
You need to establish a specific time schedule and place that is devoted only to getting your story down in writing. This should be a minimum of two hours at a time with no interruptions. With the help of a good computer many of your grammatical and spelling errors can be corrected for you. When you have everything down an experienced editor and writer can make adjustments to improve the flow of your book and the quality of your writing. An experienced typesetter can than work on making your book look professional with creative graphics and font styles appropriate to your personal style. You will also need a gifted graphic designer to create a cover for your book that will draw your reader’s attention.
It does take discipline to create a high quality book but it also takes a professional team that is willing to work with you to not only produce your book but also make it available to the marketplace.

Turning Praise into Power

When praise goes up, blessing comes down. Praise takes your eyes off yourself and puts them on the Lord, the Source of all power and strength. Learn how to make your life a continual act of praise to God. Praise to God is not optional, but essential.

"It takes an intentional act on the part of that which was created to worship and praise that which created him. With a sense of meditating on the goodness of the Creator, God Almighty, who is Forever worthy to be praised. These are intentional acts Rev. Dennis Hamilton places behind his pen in this classic work, Turning Praise Into Power."
-Pastor Vernon DeGraffinreid, Friendship Church, Santa Barbara, CA

"This will help many people get through those hard days ahead, if they learn the secret of Turning Praise Into Power. I want you to remember the road will be long and the way hard sometimes. But go on and be strong, for your change will come as you Turn Praise Into Power."
-Pastor George Brooks, Jr., Bethel Church, Santa Barbara, CA

"Turning Praise into Power" is a lovingly woven tapestry of scripture, hymns, poetry and the author's personal praise of God. It is crafted so as to give the reader an easy and enriching means of fulfilling our human nature's greatest need Ð praising and giving thanks to God, the purposes for which we were made.
-Ruth Guggenheim, Santa Barbara, CA

Chaplain Bemis on breakthroughs

This book is designed for you to interact with what the Lord personally teaches you with questions at the end of each chapter.

This book confronts your heart to find the real answers and the real direction to obtaining real liberty, freedom, and a pure heart. Duane and Darilyn want God’s miracles, blessings, and favor to rest upon you heart.

How to Make Your Book Successful

How to Make Your book Successful
You have now finished your manuscript – CONGRATULATIONS! You are already ahead of the many “wannabe” writers of today. But do you know the next step? Some authors think it is to publish. You are close, but there are steps to take BEFORE you publish your book.
The first question to ask yourself is, "Why am I publishing this book?” Your honest answer will determine the journey your book needs to take. If your purpose was to write a book for your own satisfaction or for your family, with no further interest in marketing or selling the book, then you are ready for the next step – to prepare the book for publishing.
If you have hopes of selling your book at any time to a bookstore, conventions, or at conferences (they often use standard bookstore sellers), or if you wish to have your book reviewed, then you need to follow certain steps to ensure those possibilities can happen. These are the steps we suggest:
1. Proper Manuscript Preparation:
The manuscript MUST be presented to the public as the very best it can be. If you have any hesitation that it is not quite what you want, then finish it before you spend time and money to print something that is only “almost there”. Although your book will be professionally edited, you need to have it as near ready and free of mistakes and misspellings as possible before submission. Reviewers and buyers will scan only a few pages to determine if they will consider your book. Poor writing, or the presence of multiple mistakes, could result in an immediate rejection.

Your Informed Publishing Decision

Your Informed Decision
Through the years, we have come to understand that it is very difficult for you to determine what publishing system is right for you. The first thing you can arm yourself with is the knowledge and basic understanding of the publishing industry – and that is the purpose of Before You publish – it shares many of the important things that have evolved in the publishing industry since our founder, Dr. Michael Wourms, first started as a ghostwriter to Christian and secular leaders back in 1983. Mike’s dream was to help others write and publish their books to bless, equip, inform, entertain and train others through the written page.
All of these would-be authors held on to the hope that a major publisher would “discover” their submitted manuscript, and that ultimately, it would soon become a best-seller. Many of these authors had recorded quantities of lectures or sermons on cassette tapes or CD’s; they had all received enthusiastic feedback from their conventions or congregations that their messages needed to be provided to a larger audience. Unfortunately, since many were relatively unknown as ministers or authors, so the old, traditional publishing companies were not interested in their works.
As a result, many of these authors found their dreams remaining unrealized as the traditional doors did not open. It was in that atmosphere that CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing evolved. As we studied the various “alternative” or subsidy publishers and book printers, it became clear that some of these companies offered assistance in taking a manuscript to print, some were just printers, and some even offered meager marketing services (with uncertain success or guarantee) for a set price.
In all cases, the author would fund his own work, and would pocket some of the profits when and if the book sold. This concept greatly appealed to us here at CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, but we felt compelled to make some modifications to vastly improve the service to the author.
Our investigations found that most subsidy publishers offered a wide variety of services with varying abilities to edit, re-write, prepare the manuscript, gain copyrights, and take the book to print.
However, few of the companies had a professional understanding of the needs of the author. We vowed that our author’s manuscripts would be professionally and carefully handled to ensure the integrity of the work, and to properly prepare the book to bless others.
As a result of that objective, CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing have assembled a team of men and women of integrity who possess the gifts, skills and experience to take your book to print, as well as the ability to assist in marketing the final product.
Our team of experts, each with his/her own abilities, can now evolve a book from vision to completion, and assist you in marketing your work, both locally (your best market) and nationally. We can even “ghostwrite” your book from notes on a napkin (that actually happened!).
Whatever your needs, we hope you will consider our professional publishing company.

A Vegetarian Delight!

A vegetarian cookbook with 184 pages, containing 173 recipes that have been tried and tested to be delicious. Multi-ethnic and popular recipes that are easy to make, yet tasty. This is a great way to make the transition from eating man made foods and animal products to God-made foods for optimum health. These are the foods your body is designed and created to consume.
I used to eat anything and everything struggling with obesity, bags under my eyes, sickness and disease, feeling tired ad grumpy, resulting from the toxic, unhealthy foods I was putting into my body.
God’s original plan for man is in Genesis 1:29. But, God allows us to choose our diet. For the last fifteen years or so I changed my former diet and choose our diet. For the last fifteen years or so I changed my former diet and chose the Genesis 1:29 diet. My life changed completely. Now I understand His word that says, “I shall give you life and life more abundantly.” I have more energy, look much better, lost weight and rarely if ever get sick. Remember you are made in God’s image and that is not a potbelly, excess fat, tired sick and depressed.
Come and join me in living life to its fullest while you are here on earth. Remember it was never God’s plan for you to be sick. This cookbook is the beginning of your new lease on life!

Vessels of Honor

Earline Leming is a woman who radiates the joy and love of Jesus Christ! Whether she is sharing her dramatic healing testimony as she did on 700 club’s “Heart to Heart,” telling of the many prison miracles she ahs seen and heard, or speaks God’s Word under the prophetic anointing of the Holy Spirit, you will be inspired to believe God for the impossible.
She is a self described “pioneer” by helping form what is known today as Aglow Prison Ministry in California and today serves as the Vice President of Ministry and Training on the Aglow State Prison Board.
Healed supernaturally of cancer in 1982, Earlene began her journey of faith by taking God’s healing love to prison facilities, the homes of parolees, churches and women’s groups. Since her journey began, she has witnessed to literally thousands of hurting women, helping them to realize their potential in Christ.
In her new book, “Vessels Of Honor,” Earlene tenderly shares from her heart these true stories. It is available through the Sheperd Foundation where she currently serves as President.
The Sheperd Foundation Ministry began in the 1950’s as an outreach to men in prison. It’s founders; Phil and Marie Thatcher understood the need to reach people who are incarcerated. They knew this was a “mission field” where the harvest was plentiful and the laborers were few. Earlene shares this vision and knows beyond a doubt that this is the “mission field” to which she has been called.
Phil Thatcher, known as “the father of prison ministry” has gone home to be with the Lord. He has left his legacy of films and videos along with his book, “Under Arrest,” which he produced.
Earlene will change you today to fulfill “God’s destiny” and discover the meaning of Jeremiah 29:11 for yourself!

Henry Cox

Most of us learn, early in our Christian experience, that we do not just face one enemy…we face a team of evil forces that have banded together in an attempt to destroy us. Those enemies are commonly called “the world, the flesh, and the devil.” The world pressures us and hammers us and tries to conform us to its mold. The flesh is the sinfulness within us, which betrays us and undermines us and interferes with us, even though we want to serve God with our minds and our bodies. The devil is master strategist of the assault against us, and sometimes attacks us openly, sometimes craftily, but always with an unerring sense of where our weaknesses lie.

Together, the world, the flesh, and the devil make an unbeatable combination if not for the saving intervention of God. Without God, victory against such an alliance is impossible. With God, victory is assured.

Rev. Craft...Virtue and Vice

Reverend Steven Louis Craft and Detective Roxon Flowers are uniquely qualified to write this practical, no-nonsense book: "Virtue and Vice: A Fascinating Journey Into Spiritual Transformation."
Reverend Craft's insights as a former heroin addict in New York City reveal the religious hypocrisy that prevailed in his life until he was confronted with the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. A modern-day Prodigal Son, he repented of his sins, turned fully to christ for cleansing, and now preaches the uncomprimising Word of God around the world.
Retired New York City Police Detective, Roxon Flowers on the opposite side of the law, nevertheless was confronted with the same Gospel of Truth, and turned from sexual immorality to embrace the purity and power of holiness.
Together, Craft and Flowers have committed their lives to sharing with others the necessity of repentence toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Dean Lang's Vision

Vision is often the difference between success and failure. This book is a story of vision in action with lots of faith. Often people say, “If I were rich I would do…” so and so. No, if you have a vision you will find a way to do it! If you are a young person I urge you to read this book and see where vision will take you. If you are a senior citizen you may think it is too late for you. NOT SO! The majority of great achievements in this world have been accomplished by people over sixty years of age. Colonel Sanders started KFC with his first Social Security check. The founder of McDonalds was looking for something to do as he approached retirement when he ran across the McDonald brothers little restaurant in California…and you know where that vision took him. I urge people of every age and walk of life to read this book. May it kindle in you a vision to accomplish great things for our Lord with your life.

There are many people who dream and wish but never do anything about it. As you read this book you will find that when you have a vision, nothing can stop you. Maybe this is the one thing that has been missing in your life. You will laugh and maybe cry as you read these pages, but you will not want to put this book down. Truth is more exciting than fiction, and this is a true life story. As you read these exciting accounts of vision, may you catch a vision for yourself. Try it – you’ll like it. It would be interesting to hear what this book does for your life.

What is Partnership Publishing?

Partnership Publishing
CSN books and Legacy Line publishing serve our authors through what we call “Partnership Publishing.” In our system, the author pays an extremely reasonable fee to publish his/her book, but unlike almost every other model, in our system, THE AUTHOR KEEPS THE BULK OF THE PROFITS!
For example, for books sold on our websites, both CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing take only 20%, and return a full 80% to the author. Most major sites will take from 50% to 65% and return the meager remains to the author. Despite that generous return to the author, we provide all the major services of any old, traditional publisher, such as proofing, editing, typesetting, cover design, publication, marketing, distribution and publicist services.
The key ingredient that makes us truly different is that the author maintains the same control he/she would have had as a self-publisher, yet enjoys the benefits of CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing: national publishers backed by a solid reputation within the publishing industry. Our authors enjoy the benefits of self-publishing (control over the final product, large profits), and also enjoy the benefits of a traditional publisher – national advertising, availability through national distributors to bookstores, and the use of our experienced marketing and publicity teams.

Holt...Real stories of Inspiration

Walk With God: lessons learned through God's faithfulness is a book filled with separate stories about God's faithfulness in our daily lives.
As Christians we tend to forget how active God really is in our lives, more powerful than we could ever imagine.
As you read, we the authors hope that would put yourself in the characters shoes. Think of when you may have had opportunities like these. And from the stories, learn to put your faith in Christ. Believe us, you will never regret the decision to follow Him with all that you have.

"What I like about the stories shared by Brian, Clay and Josh is that they are real. Instead of pretending that it is easy to be a Christian, they share their honest struggles, and show how great God is when we are weak." --Dr. Bob Rogers, pastor, First Baptist Church, Rincon, Georgia and author of "Holy Humor," a weekly religious humor column.

Dennis Hamilton...We Shall Come Rejoicing

-Learn how to evangelize effectively
-Learn how to deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ
-Learn how to experience true joy
Experience the joy of going out and sharing Good News. In this book of evangelical messages, you will find glad tidings. The one who goes out to witness rejoices because of his success; the one who receives the Lord rejoices, and Heaven also rejoices.

TESTIMONIALS:
"If you want a rich spiritual experience with beautifully explained teachings, this book is for you. Dennis Hamilton's delightful style enables the reader to search new meanings. You'll be enriched, and uplifted, and come away feeling as though you'd gone on a bible retreat. Time well invested. Highly recommended."
-Linda Moltzen Wade, Freelance Writer, Porto Valley, CA

"Dennis Hamilton's We Shall Come Rejoicing! is a treasure. This book contains a quality of Christian dynamics written in easy-to-read English. Hamilton takes the reader through the depths of spiritual experience with many biblical and other characters, so now every Christian can see himself or herself as a victorious missionary on the front lines with Jesus Christ."
-Pastor High Vines, Jr., Th.M, Lit.D.,Caleb Bible Mission and School of Theology

"We Shall Come Rejoicing" is wonderfully encouraging. I've just finished reading Dicken's "Christmas Carol" and it has the same theme Ð those who understand who God is and how much He cares for the whole world have the grand opportunity to spread rejoicing everywhere they go and double for themselves.
-Ruth Guggenheim, Santa Barbara, CA

Dennis Stephen Hamilton, in his book "We Shall Come Rejoicing" is quick to point out the threefold effects in sharing the message of the Gospel. The person who brings another to Christ is filled with joy as is the person himself who receives the Good News, and the heavens rejoice as well in another soul being saved.

Hamilton's generous use of scripture passages throughout his book provides the reader with words of truth, to not only share with others, but also to grow in his or her own relationship with Jesus Christ. It is best read slowly, perhaps a chapter a day, in order to savor the Word of God and let it sink deeply into the heart.

It is not a how-to book on evangelism but one that contains treasures of biblical wisdom, opening the eyes of the reader to the joy of the Good News of the Gospel. Hamilton maintains that joy will be enhanced when it is shared and passed on to unbelievers.

Estella Meruvia message on hope

Chapter Two of the book reads like a novel but it isn't. It is a true story; a sad story. However, as you read, you will be touched deeply by its message of hope and endurance. You will be encouraged to help suffering humanity by putting into practice the author's suggestions enumerated in Chapter Seven.
Everyone must know and have the assurance that: "It is in dying that we are born to ETERNAL LIFE." Or, as the Apostle Paul discerned: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
Following are some reader's comments:
"I just couldn't put it down."
"I read and read until I finished it!"
"It really touched me; it made me cry..."
"You're really a brave lady."
"How you had the boldness to write the way you did, is impressive."

Bishop Adkins Take on...

When Headship Goes Bad was designed to shine the spotlight on the enemy's trickery and assault on leadership in the Body of Christ and the world at large, as well as detailing the steps to take in rebounding from this fallen state.

This book is a "must have" for every leadership library.

Subsidy Publishing Emerges

As the publishing industry became more competitive, and as many traditional publishers declared bankruptcy under the “royalty” model, a new system emerged called “subsidy publishing”. In this system, if the publishing company accepted the book, the author would then pay for the cost of publication, and receive a slightly larger compensation as the books sold. As this system emerged, many authors who still believed in the “old, traditional” system, maintained:
“I’ll never pay to get my book published. If it is any good, a ‘real’ publisher will pick it up and promote it.”
For a good ten years, the term “subsidy publisher” had a relatively negative stigma attached to it by many authors.
As subsidy publishing evolved, the term “self-publishing” entered the industry. In self-publishing, the author pays all the costs of the book, and also publishes it under his/her own publishing company name. As a result, tens of thousands of new publishers sprouted up all over America, most producing products so inferior that the bookstores would never consider carrying them on their shelves.
Today’s Subsidy Publisher
In today’s market, virtually every major publisher has evolved into utilizing some form of subsidy publishing. Of course, the old, traditional publishers still exist for the highly visible authors who have large audiences who stand ready to buy their next book. For example, if you have a nationwide television show, or are a popular entertainer or politician, you may still get your book published under the old royalty system and do fairly well economically.
However, most of the “old, traditional publishers” have now also added some sort of “subsidy publishing” to their arsenal for those authors who do not have a built-in following through which they can sell a large amount of books.
By using some form of subsidy publishing, many quality books that previously would not have been published are now available to the market. Of the 193,000 books published in the last year where records are available, the vast majority were under some sort of a “subsidy” arrangement. The subtle shift in the industry is that these subsidy products were produced under the supervision of a skilled publisher, thus producing a product far superior to most of the self-published books.
