I was up early this morning, and I was in the word of God because something I was reading in the book by Jesse Duplantis sparked me to read Genesis chapters 1-4. I finished reading the book today because I told one of my hairdressers, they could read it once I was done with it. They had an interest in reading it when I was last in the shop getting my hair done. I have baked goods I baked in my freezer so I think I will drop off for them along with the book 4 strawberry margherita (no alcohol in them) cupcakes, maybe there are some more hidden treats I tucked away in the freezer I just may add to their little pastry plate.
I was so inspired by reading the book, "The Hidden Help The Mysterious Work Of Angels In The Bible And In My Life." I must admit, Jesse was not looking to find readers by riddling the first few pages with endorsements from this one or that one. Also, no big-name minister/preacher writing a forward recommending the book. I see it like this, why are you trying to impress someone to read your book by getting this one and that one to endorse it anyway. If God placed that book in your heart to write, then who cares about whom you are choosing to endorse your book. Is it done to sell more copies of the book. I often wonder if some of the people that endorse books actually read the book all the way through anyhow. Do they just skim through the pages enough so to then be able to write an endorsement. If I were to write a book I might just go off of the beaten path and have people that know me that you may not even know share their thoughts on the book, only if they read it all the way through. Yes, even friends and family I would kindly ask a few questions to see if the book was read. Holy Spirit is so creative I just know He would give me the right questions to ask each individual.
Why do you care anyway what others think about your book just trust in God Almighty and leave it at that. It was so refreshing the way this particular book was written. I am going to share with you the dedication page to Jesse Duplantis' daughter and the closing pages of the prayer of salvation. Maybe more preachers/ministers out there should get back to the basics. How many of you out there writing your books are placing a prayer of salvation @ the close of your book? You should be because that is how I got saved. Sitting in a food court on my lunch break reading the book by Benny Hinn, "Good Morning Holy Spirit." Tears streaming down my face as I read the prayer of salvation in his very book. That book inspired me so much I purchased another copy of it long with another book I read of his about the blood of Jesus (do not recall the title right now) and actually donated them for the public library in the city where I lived at the time. Sad thing is that I was still Catholic at the time, and no one told me I was born again or what that even meant. Then there was a day a friend's brother invited me to a Pentecostal type, non-denominational church and bit by bit found myself going there more and more and less and less to the Catholic church. This is the church I was raised up in to learn evangelism. Thank God I was journaling back then, and I am able to pull a journal to pinpoint the weekend my life changed because this back then this Catholic woman wrote about it in my journal.
May I encourage you Christian authors out there to drop the pretenses to sell a book and get back to the basics. It would be nice to see a Prayer of Salvation somewhere in your book regardless of the Christian content in the book. If Holy Spirit breathed upon the writing of your book with divine insights, then why not offer the prayer of salvation to your readers so they will be in heaven for all eternity. There I go thinking out loud again. I will not apologize for that, I will not.
I highly recommend buying this book and maybe buying two at the same time and blessing someone with the other copy you bought. I hope this is okay to share excerpts from this book because this is a beautiful example of how a well written book is presented. Also, I found not one typo in this book, now that is a miracle in itself, someone actually proofread the book before publishing it, Imagine That!
