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.

99% That we Worry About Never Happens. Give the Rest to God

I just a check in the mail for selling four more books. I am very pleased at the rate the books are selling. My book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” has sold 204 books in just over four months. That is an average of about 50 a month. I certainly would like more sold, but I am thankful to God for the consistency.

My next goal is to sell 500. That officially gives you the right to say your book is a best seller. (Don’t ask me how that could be. It is in all the marketing books.)

You can certainly help with that by clicking on the tab at the top that says “bookstore,” and ordering a book yourself. I have just been lowered the price from $19.99 to $15.99, AND the shipping price has been cut in half to $2.35. That is a total of $6.00 savings if you order now.

Think about Easter coming up next month. This would be a wonderful gift to give out as an Easter present. It is full of uplifting thoughts, and talks about our risen Savior.

There is only one way this book will be a success, and that is through people like you buying the books, and then telling others. Word of mouth is always the best marketing tool.

I want to tell you about another book I am starting, but this is called a “teaser.” My next post will give you more details. Just one more teaser… it will be about sports.

Think on this:

  • 99% of what we worry about never happens. The other 1% you can turn over to God.
  • When two or more gather together to pray, God will be there with you.
  • When you smile at someone they usually smile back. This gives them more face value.
  • When you make it through a storm in your life, you are that much stronger for the next one.

I am asking for prayer for my good friend Michael Clark, who is my partner on our blog: www.dailysignsofhopecom. He has a very serious surgery coming up, and please pray that God will hold his hand throughout this ordeal and make him whole again.

 

 

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.

She got home, and her husband saw the book and started reading it. He called me, and said that the book was written just for him. he had been through many of the storms I had been through.

House of Representative Andy Olson, was given a free book, and he is sharing it with many of his colleagues.
