Your Book is a Blessing, and Even a Lifesaver for Many

I have been selling a  few books each month. I have been able to make a deposit at the end of each month in my writing account. God has blessed  me in many ways.

The most important thing is that I have been receiving phone calls, letters, and emails from people who have been blessed by the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

It reaches out to those who suffer from anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, self-doubt, hopelessness, and the many other afflictions we all face.

Getting these notes, and emails has comfirmed my efforts, and has glorified God.

You too can have a copy of this book by going to the “bookstore” tab at the top of this page. Click on it and go from there.

There is a huge discount going on right now for Easter. The book was $19.99, and it is now $15.99. The shipping was $4.70, and now it is $2.35. There is a total savings of over $6.00 if you order right now.

Look at the list of afflictions above. I am sure you can think of someone who could benefit from this book. Maybe even yourself. It is a small price to pay when it helps someone who is on the edge and needs to be rescued.

I am going to share on note I received, but leave the name of the person off, becaause I haven’t cleared it with her yet.

She said,” I know your book will be a blessing -even a life saver for many.”

That is a typical note I have been receiving.

I hope you will take a minute to go to the bookstore, and at least read the description, and see the cover. I think once you do you will see the need to get this book to others, like many people have.

Does God Owe you Something?

Have you ever thought that God owes you something? Did you do some good deeds and expected something in return?

You are probably saying that you wouldn’t think of ever doing that. However there seems to be many people today who do try to do that.

They want God to jump through their hoops, and not try to merit any reward from God.

Many people pray for God to “give,”  them something.

We all pray to have God heal the sick, and dying. We all pray to have God help us cope through each day, but do we go too far sometimes?

Think on this:

  • We can’t make God jump through our hoops, but we try all the time.
  • Religion is not how we get God to do what we want, But how we learn how to do what God wants.
  • No one can save us from the quicksand of sin, except our LORD and Savior.
  • Sins destroy your relationship with God,  but confession restores it.
  • Confession is the reset button in our lives. All we have to do is push the reset button. Jesus will do the rest.

Let’s talk more about the last point. Have you ever played a video game, and a I-Box game, and saw that when you were about to die, all you had to do was hit the reset button and you are alive and well again, and can start over.

Wouldn’t that be great for our lives? Well, it is there for the taking. We sin many times, and feel that there is no way that god could loves us after all of that. It is not true. God will allow us to confess our sins and start over. We have our own built in reset button for our own lives.

Some thoughts on how we benefit from the love of God:

  • True abundance is found in the everlasting love of God.
  • True satisfaction ifs found in listening to; trusting in, and obeying God words.
  • God’s perfect peace is always found in God’s accessible presence.

Always plan to do everything for God, and not expect anything in return. His love  will come even more to you if you do.

People are Looking for Hope. There is a Place to Find it

It has been a while since I last posted. I don’t have many good excuses. It just seemed like I needed some air.

I hit the streets running when my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” was first published. I had signings every week, and did double posting on this site, and my blog at: www.dailysignsofhope.com. The “signs” blog is really taking off. It was started a year ago September, and it already has close to 1500 followers.

Why is it doing so well? It reaches out to those who are suffering from anxiety, fear, hopelessness, depression, and many other of the devastating afflictions. People are looking for hope, and this site shares thoughts on how to find it.

The book is also a book full of hope for those same people. You can check the book out by clicking on the “Bookstore,” tab at the top of this site. Once you are there you can see a short description, and a copy of the cover. Go on to the next step an order one today. Think of Easter! This is a great book to give as a gift for Easter. It shares hope, and renewal for those who are seeking  a new fresh outlooks on life.

There is a special going right now. The book was $19.99. It is now only $15.99. The shipping was $4.70, and now it is only $2.35.  A total savings of over $6.00.

You also may think of someone who may benefit from this book even though it might not be Easter time. Think of friends and family that seem sad, or are searching for answers.

___________________________________________________

Here are some thoughts for the day:

  • 99% of what we worry about never happens. The other .o1% should be turned over to God.
  • Since God made you in His own image, don’t you think he cares enough for you to protect and guide you?
  • Worry is the dark room where negatives are developed.
  • Kneeling before God keeps you in good standing.
  • Your church is prayer conditioned.

May God bless you during the Easter time. Remember that Jesus died a rose again. He is not a dead idol. He is alive and well.
