Welcome to my first ever Guest Blogger. He is my best friend and a great writer. We’ve written one book together and he has written others one of which is in the publishing process. Below you’ll see a blurb about said book. Enjoy the post and, if you feel led, donate to his GoFundMe as I know it’s good soil.
In this world we struggle trying to keep up with many financial obligations. It seems like we work endless hours and overtime to barely make a dent into the bills that our due.
Is this all that life is? Are we born, live and die only to work? Or is life so much more?
It has always been thought that the husband and wife were the main providers for their families. Is this true, or could it be the couples are in error? You may ask, “Well, if not us, then who?”
In my book, Who is your Provider?? I touch on this topic and many more. In it, I speak of God being the source of everything we need. This is a challenge to not only many in the church, but in this world because man being the source has always been. However, a transition needs to be made to where man looks to God for everything he needs.
Ever since my faith walk started in 2008, I had been put in the place to where God has been my source. He more or less tied my hands to where I couldn’t do anything but rely on Him. Through this time, amazingly He provided for all of my needs. All the contents in the book is everything I had learned through this time of trusting on God.
I had finished writing it in 2010 and now it is the 7th year. I had been waiting in faith for the Publisher God had told me about. Recently I sent my manuscript to a literary agent from Christian Faith Publishing. After the review board read it, I was informed that they loved it.
As of now, I’m walking in faith for the amount close to $5000 to get it through the publishing process. Once the amount is paid, six months down the road the book will be on the stands for people to read.
I have set up a Gofundme page so people can not only see the progress of the book, but if God leads them to give towards it. On the page, I have placed a promotional video about the book and an unedited excerpt from one of the chapters in it.
I hope you will like it and I look forward to your reading it once it comes out.
If you would like to see the Gofundme page, here is the link to it:
As He is...so are we 
Not trying to be a wet blanket, but rather honest. Publishers pay authors: authors don’t pay publishers. There are plenty of ways to self-publish books these days, many free. It just isn’t right for you to have to pay that much money up front. You shouldn’t pay anything. And what about distribution? If they post the books to you and expect you to sell them…you will have them for years. Books are not selling at the moment except those written by established authors – indie or traditional. Anyone who publishes a book expecting to earn big bucks is in for a sad awakening. Not only am I an author, but I have scads of author friends all going through the same thing. So, in the name of Jesus, I pray for your success. But I wish you would rethink paying someone to publish your book unless it’s too late. Legit publishers NEVER ask for money upfront. Small publishers, like mine, simply don’t give out advances, but they handle the cost of production themselves. God bless you. I want this to work for you because I love it when dreams come true. Again, sorry for being negative, but I’ve been in this business for 45 years.

Thanks. I don’t want to be discouraging…but I don’t want the author discouraged.
