Many of you who read this blog are published authors. And many of you are aspiring authors.

So I’m writing this candid post for two reasons:

1) to give you a back-stage peek into the life of an author.

2) to give you an update on what’s happening with God’s Favorite Place on Earth.

Seeing that you all helped the book hit the Amazon bestseller list, I thought you’d be interested.

(If you’re new to the blog, God’s Favorite Place on Earth hit #13 on Amazon and stayed below #50 for 8 days straight. The chances of a book hitting the top 15 on Amazon are slim to none. And slim left town. The thanks and credit goes to all of you who bought a copy.)

However, there is something that has hurt the book big time. And it continues to hurt it. For an author who regards this little volume to be his “life’s work,” the problem is beyond frustrating. Let me ‘splain. Continue Reading…

One of the most gifted writers of our generation is Mary DeMuth. Mary has the unique talent of switch-hitting in literature. That is, she has the exotically rare ability to write both fiction and nonfiction. And she excels at both.

But more than her flare for the writing craft, Mary’s insight into Jesus Christ is beyond that of most contemporary writers. She’s also accessible (something I highly value in authors), friendly, discerning and generous.

In other words, she exhibits the Lord Jesus.

I caught up with Mary recently to talk with her about her recent book, Everything: What You Give and What You Gain to Become Like Jesus.

Mary, instead of asking, “what is your book about,” I’m going to ask the question that’s behind that question. And that unspoken question is, “how are readers going to benefit from reading your book?” Continue Reading…

Tomorrow, I’m going to be putting together a unique post on the Holy Spirit. You don’t want to miss it.

Over the last week, the subscription to this blog has increased by 1,600 people. That’s rather amazing. So I’d like to welcome you all. (Frankie V. tips hat.)

Our book launch for God’s Favorite Place on Earth officially ended on May 7th. I want to personally thank all of you who bought the book. Because of you, the bit hit #13 on Amazon. That means it was the 13th bestselling book out of over 7 million books.

In addition, it hit #1 in Christian Living and #1 in Religion & Spirituality

And until late last night, the book stayed below #50 on Amazon. Now it’s starting to go up.

I’m deeply grateful to all of you who bought the book. As I’ve said many times, the ideas in God’s Favorite Place on Earth are my life’s work.

Something That Concerns Me

Before I unveil what’s on my heart right now, let me point out to all my new subscribers that I don’t profit personally from my book sales. Royalties for book sales goes to ministry expenses and my ministry to the poor, which I’m actively engaged in (see my FAQ page for details). Continue Reading…
