I have a podcast here that I did with John Kremer, the marketing guru. He invited me to share unusual places to sell books. Take a listen and hit those streets running: goo.gl/WGTF7

I saw a report that eBooks are starting to slow down in sales. They reached their peak and have leveled off. What does this mean?

It means that, if you have a truly good book, it doesn’t matter what the trends are. Your book will sell in any market at any time if it is well done, wins awards,  and has good reviews.

My book, “Signs of Hope: ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” recently won an award from Reader’s Favorite Awards. It also has received several five star reviews.

This has helped it keep good sales going.

Never feel that trends are what controls the industry. Good writing, and promotion controls the industry.

I went to a friend’s house last night to see some slides he had taken while he visited Israel. I thought, ” Oh boy, here is another of those boring slide shows put on by an amateur.”

I was very wrong. Don Phillips had a wonderful presentation filled with fascinating stores of his trip. He was very emotional the whole time while showing the slides. He kept saying things like, ” This is where Jesus prayed and sweat blood. This is where Peter denied knowing Jesus. This is where they think Jesus was buried. This is the Mount of Olives, where Jesus will come down to someday.”

As he went through the slides, I too got emotional. I decided that I had to go to Israel myself some day. I added it to my “bucket list.”

With Israel being attack by the Hamas, and many other countries in the Middle East trying to destroy it, the end times doesn’t seem to much like a fairy tale anymore. For those who are skeptics, the writing is on the wall.

I have read the end of the book (Bible) and God wins!

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Do you worry when the End Times or the Rapture is Coming?

I just read some comments by some people who were wondering when the rapture will be coming or who the anti Christ will be and when he will come?

Is that part of your worrying process? Do you wonder when things will happen?

God often moves powerfully in ways that are not understood for a long time. Look at the Middle East. The whole area is in a state of Chaos. Dictators who have been in power for decades, are either being threatened, or are gone.

Is this God’s plan? Of course it is, but what it all means may not be known in our lifetime.

We do need to understand that all His ways are right.

God’s knows all the peoples of this earth distress and manages all events for their good. They may not see the good in their situation at this time. They must remember, however that all nations are under God’s control. he allowed those dictators to get into power, and now He has other plans.

Our God is the God of the past, present and the future. All we need to do is trust Him, and not worry about tomorrow.
