Finding Victory in the Jaws of defeat

The amazing ride we are having over at: www.dailysignsofhope.com, has been wonderful. Since June 9th, we have increased our RSS feed subscribers by nearly 4,000.

I would love it if you would take the time to do that here as well. There are 550 hits here a day, and if all of you signed up for my RSS feed here just once. It would increase the count by over 500.

What does a RSS feed do? It lets you know when a post has been recorded so you can  read it. No more going back and checking many times. You will know instantly.

So click on the RSS feed icon at the top of this page and join me. I would be very honored if you do.

I remember the saying, “Victory in the jaws of defeat.” It was  a slogan for some sports program.

It is telling us that we never know when we may pull out a last minute victory.

Well…what about those of us who haven’t found that victory? What about you? Have you tried many time to claim victory, but the walls were to high, and many doors slammed in your face?

You certainly aren’t alone. I have talked to many people at my book signings who have faced depression, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, self-doubt, addictions, and many more demons they face each day.

Some of the people are repeat buyers of the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” They have come back to share their testimony and buy the book for other people who are suffering as well.

One lady said, ” I bought your book and started reading it. I had to come back and get three more for my children. It is a much needed book for today’s world.”

Another person sent me a note with her payment for the book that she ordered right from this site. She said, ” My son is going through some hard times, and I know this book will reach out to him and give him strength, as it has me.”

I would like you to check out why I am getting so many re-sales, and comments likes these for the book.

Go to the top of this page and click on “bookstore. ” When you do, you will see a description of the book, and a picture of the cover. If you like what you read and see, please order a book. Hopefully you will be sending me a comment as well.

The price of the book in the retail stores is $19.99 and above. If you order from this site you will only pay $15.99. The shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $4.00.

Take a minute to see why some many people are ordering the book.

Life is, at Best, Uncertain

Yesterday was a beautiful day. Lots of sun, and in the 70’s. Today is dark, and rainy. What can I say….it is Oregon. We have the saying here, “wait five minutes,” as far as what the weather may be from minute to minute.

That happens in our lives. We never know from one minute to the next what we may be facing. Life is at best uncertain.

How do we cope with days like this?

It is called prayer. We should start out each day sharing our needs, and be praising God for His love, before we enter the daily rat race. God is there to listen, and will be with us where ever we go.

With God on our side, who can be against us?

_____________________________________________________

The sales of my new book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” is still going well. I just had a signing at a local winery and did quite well.

Why is this book doing so well? It is because it shares ways to cope in that rat race above I was talking about. It helps those who are battling anxiety, fear, depression, hopelessness, addictions, self-doubt, etc. It starts out telling my own story of how I was at the end of my rope, and was considering checking out of this hotel called earth.

It then sends out messages to help the reader find ways to battle the trials and storms of life.

You can have this book for s special price right now. In the stores the book price is $19.99, but if you order from this site it is only $15.99. The shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

When you order you will also be sent an autographed copy with a personal note.

I hope you will at least go to the top of the page and click on the “Bookstore,” tab, and read to description of the book. You might also check out some impressive endorsements, by clicking on that tab at the top.

Stay strong, and never ever give up!

Write Your Plans in Pencil, and Give God the Eraser

I had a book signing at Eola Hilss Winery in Rickreal, Oregon On Sunday, which was Mother’s Day. My wife and I thought we could seel as many as 70 books, because the brunch they was holding was sold out, and 700 people were coming.

It didn’t turn out that way. We only sold 7 books. This might sound like a failure to some, but let me share what happened.

One lady bought four of the seven books. She bought one book early in the morning, and then came back ab0ut an hour later and said she had read some of it while eating the brunch with her three children. She loved it and wanted each of them to have one too.

One of her sons was out of work, and was battling depression. I was able to meet him out in the parking lot, and told him that I was going to pray for him. A seed was planted, and it wouldn’t have  happened if I wasn’t there for the signing.

Another woman bought a book for her mother who was there. I met the mother later, and she was excited to personally meet an author. ( What ever that means!)

A staff member working the brunch bought one for her boyfriend. She said he needed some encouragement.

The seventh book was bought by the father-in law of the owner of the winery. The owner had bought a book earlier, and told his father-in-law that he loved the book and was reading it the second time.

Another staff member told me of a Christian bookstore in a small town near him that would probably carry the book if I talked to them.

None of this would have happened if i didn’t do the signing that day. So was it a success? Yes it was. I predicted what I thought the outcome would be, but God had other plans.
