I finished reading "The Miracle of the Oil Receive the Power of God's Anointing" by Joshua Mills. I am almost finished reading "Revival Breakthrough Preparing For Seasons Of Glory, Awakening, And Great Harvest" by James W. Goll. It was yesterday 1/5/2023 early in the morning around 4:00AM I woke to the sound of 1 single ring tone of a telephone. My spiritual senses were heightened to the fact that Holy Spirit wanted to speak to me. I replied speak Lord I am listening, Your child, student is listening. I continued on reading the book by James Goll. Whitaker House is the publisher. I was reading page 118 & sure enough a possible typo/error apparently not caught by the proofer, editor, etc. Two on the same page.
Then I was reminded of another book I recently finished reading by Joshua Mills with the same publisher & right in the very beginning of reading that book an error or typo. Same publisher Whitaker House. I sent an email to his ministry sharing the typo & if friends, ministers, etc. are endorsing a book I would like to think they actually read the book. If they read it then why don't they reach out to the author and share a typo/error with them, so it is corrected before going to print. I never heard back from them at all. I even sent a follow up email to inquire if they received the first email. No response whatsoever. Maybe because I am unknown to them, or they may think I do not qualify to share with them. Does not matter to me because I did as Holy Spirit prompted me to do when He composed that very email with me that was sent off to them that very day. My portion was then fulfilled that very day.
I really am not familiar with publishing a book and the inner workings/behind the scenes in that realm so forgive me if I may be sharing practical things that just make plain old common sense to me. Does one read a manuscript given to them to read prior to endorsing an author's book? Are endorsements sought of ministers, friends, etc. and only an outline is given to them, and they choose to or not to endorse the upcoming book? I am asking these questions because I really do not know the inner workings of publishing a book.
This needs to stop & today is the day Holy Spirit has me list the very endorsements of both books & point blank ask them if they really read every word of the book they endorse? If they did, then why didn't they reach out to the author so it could be corrected. Another thought coming to me now ... maybe they did reach out & the author didn't do anything about it. With the author maybe thinking it will not be noticeable to the readers?
It is appearing in the book of Joshua's on page 11 as "Something phenomenal is happening in the spirit ream!" I looked up the definition of ream and it just does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Was it meant to be "realm!" I proposed that thought in the email I sent. Why does this happen? Joshua's book was endorsed by: Bobby Schuller, Billie Reagan Deck, Dale Everett, Kathy DeGraw & Barbara J. Yoder.
James Goll's book was endorsed by: Mario Murillo, Mike Bickle, Patricia King, Tony Kemp, Joan Hunter, Dr. Che Ahn, Joshua Mills, Ana Werner, Matt Sorger, Cindy Jacobs, Prophet Charlie Shamp, Steven Springer, Tom & Jane Hamon and Jeremiah Johnson. On page 118 it appears as "Let's learn to how to insert spiritual keys" Maybe it isn't an error but when reading it I was caused to stop and think about it, would it sound better being stated without the first "to"? Like this "Let's learn how to insert spiritual keys". Then if you read down a little bit more on the page it appears as "Here are some biblical references to people who experiencing open gates to the heavenlies" Then listed are biblical examples so would it better be served if the word replacing "experiencing" would be replaced in past tense format of "experienced"?
Again, I will state I am not an author. I do not know the inner working of publishing a book or the protocol when seeking those to endorse a book. Is a rough draft, manuscript given to them to read so they can write their endorsement? If I were an author this would be my plan of action to weed out true friends, colleagues from those looking for possible recognition in print with their name connected to the author's book. Whatever format is sent to them to read, I would purposely put in typo's/errors within it. Mark down somewhere where they were placed so you have a record & then see how many let you know that there was an error before it would ever go to print.
Oh, do not give the same typo to each person because they might talk amongst themselves saying something like this, "Did you notice an error on page ..." You must use wisdom in this, different errors for them to find & see who the honest and truly sincere are. A true friend would share the errors with their friend/colleague so as to not embarrass them after the fact - the book went into print with not being properly "proofed".
There I go thinking out loud again. If anyone that is reading this blog knows James W. Goll, could you be kind enough to let him know of the potential errors found so far in the book. I am not finished reading his book as of today, 1/5/2023, but it is Holy Spirit prompting me to share what He gave me when I woke early this morning to hear 1 ring once on a phone.
HERE IS THE BEST SUGGESTION OF ALL ...WHITAKER HOUSE WHY NOT COMPLETE YOUR JOB WITH EXCELLENCE AND THEN THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN A SUBJECT TO BLOG ABOUT.
