Final Manuscript of my Newest Book Has been Submitted

Final Manuscript of my Newest Book Has been Submitted

I don’t want you to miss out! You can get a free digital copy of my newest book. Keep reading to learn how…

Dying to Religion and Empire

Dying to Religion and EmpireI submitted the final electronic files today for my next book which I am releasing on Monday.

The book is called Dying to Religion and Empire and is about how Christianity can regain some of our ability to be salt and light in this world by re-imagining how we practice our rites and how we stand up for our rights.

There have already been several reviews of the book posted on Amazon. You can go read them here: Dying to Religion and Empire Reviews.

This book is going to ruffle some feathers as I not only challenge the practices of baptism and communion (die to your rites), but also raise questions about the legal rights of Christians to the freedom of speech, to bear arms, and to various other rights guaranteed by the “First Amendment” and the “Bill of Rights.”

You Can Get a Free Digital Copy

As with all my book, I send out free digital copies to those who indicate they want them by signing up for my email list.

(And just for signing you, you get a free digital copy of one of my most popular eBooks, Skeleton Church.)

By signing up for the newsletter, you will Get a FREE copy of The Skeleton Church AND free eBooks about Scripture and theology every few months!

Last Day to Download My Newest Book

Church is More than Bodies Bucks and BricksIn case you missed it earlier this week, my newest book has been released, and you can download it for free from Amazon through today (June 7, 2014).

The book is called Church is More than Bodies, Bucks, and Bricks, and is about how church has nothing to do with how many church members we have, how big our building is, or how large the church budget.

People who are subscribers to my email newsletter already received a free PDF copy of the book earlier this week, so if you are a subscriber, check your email! Otherwise, you can  download a copy from Amazon

Want a Free Paperback Copy?

I am also trying something new with this book. Lots of people prefer paperback copies of books (I know I do), and so I am making those available for free as well. I just ask that you cover the cost of printing and shipping the book ($6.95).

So if you want to get a free paperback copy of this book, you can go get them at Redeeming Press.

And hey, would you mind doing me a favor? Could you use the sharing buttons below to tell others about this free ebook? Let them know on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or wherever else you hang out online. Thank you! I really appreciate it.

When God Pled Guilty

When God Pled Guilty

When God pled GuiltyI tend to write my books on my blog. I do this for various reasons, one of which is that I desire input, questions, and suggestions from readers.

So read through the posts below, and join the conversation on each post. Also, invite others to read these posts by using the sharing buttons at the bottom, because many people struggle with how to understand the violence of God in the Bible.

Book Publishing InstructionsYou might have missed out…

Earlier today I sent out a free PDF copy of my newest eBook, Book Publishing Instructions, to all my email newsletter subscribers.

First…. subscribe today

You may have missed out on this free PDF copy of the book, but I try to send out a new free eBook every few months or so, and you don’t want to miss out on the next several eBooks I will be publishing later this year.

Last year I gave away about 6,000 eBooks. This year, I plan to give away between 10-12,000. And some of those can be yours!

Make sure you come back though, because although you missed the free PDF copy of Book Publishing Instructions, there is still a way for you to get a different version for free…

Second, my eBook is available for FREE on Amazon

Book Publishing Instructions on AmazonThe version I am giving away on Amazon is for the Amazon Kindle, but even if you don’t have a Kindle (I don’t have one), you can still read Kindle books on your iPad, Blackberry, Android, or even on your PC or Mac. Just go download a Kindle Reading App to read Kindle books on almost any other device.

So whether you received the free PDF or missed out on that free eBook, you can still download the Kindle version from Amazon.

Are you an Author? Get Published This Year!

Are you an Author? Get Published This Year!

I have published nine books and have contributed to several others. My most recent book, however, is written to help YOU get published. 

I have learned quite a bit over the years about the process of publishing my own books, and very early on, I created a little guide to help me remember the steps to preparing my manuscript, editing it for publication, and submitting it to the various websites on which I sell my books. This little guide has helped me get published. 

As of last July, that little publishing guide of mine was 8 pages long. 

But it was cryptic, messy, disorganized, and not very clear. 

So last August, I decided to rearrange the guide to make it more useful. As I began to do this, I thought, “You know what? I bet author new and aspiring authors would like to have some of this information. As long as I am organizing it for myself, I might as well do a little bit of extra work and make a little book out of it. Why shouldn’t I help other authors get published?”

Five months later I sent a 184-page book to the printers.

Yes, my little 8-page guide turned into 184 pages of detailed instructions, screen shots, publishing tips, and suggestions for helping you get published, get your book into print, and ultimately, get it into people’s hands.

Get Published with Book Publishing Instructions

And guess what?

Though this book is already available on Amazon (Go ahead on over there to get a sneak peak inside the book)….I will soon be sending out a FREE PDF copy via email… but ONLY to those who have subscribed to my email newsletter!

So do me one of two favors:

1. If you haven’t subscribed and want to get published:

If you have not yet subscribed to my email newsletter and want to get published in 2014, then…. subscribe already! Here’s the form:

And just for subscribing, you will immediately get a free copy of Skeleton Church, one of my most popular eBooks! 

2. If you have already subscribed and appreciate my free eBooks:

If you have already subscribed and appreciate getting my free eBooks, please invite others on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ to subscribe by using the sharing buttons below. This is especially true if you know anyone who wants to get published. Thanks!
