Need help marketing my Christian Poetry book.?
Jul 05, 2009 by shawn o | Posted in Religion & Spirituality
I self-published my first log "1 Corinthians 13:11 Growing in the Spirit". There were no bells and whistles with the contract. I have to do all the marketing. I've told all of my Myspace and Facebook friends, and my unreserved e-mail contact list. I've put flyers out at churches. You can go to Amazon.com and type in the name of the book and see it. My goal os to sell 1000 copies so that I can ensign with a large publishing company.
It sounds like a enormous book. I would love to read it someday!
Congratulations and I hope you achieve your goal of selling 1000 copies.

Nobody reads poetry any more, and if you denote a big company like Random House, they're not going to be interested in limited-market works. Check out the following firms as they baby to Christian themes:

Do you think books that contain Christian theologies should be taught in American public high schools?
May 19, 2405 by smasher000 | Posted in Religion & Spirituality
Do you characterize as books that contain Christian theologies should be taught in American/Canadian public high schools?
In my English Literature class, we're knowledge Genesis, Paradise Lost and poems that discuss God and Christianity in detail. Coming from an Atheist viewpoint, the ideas about God and Satan are all new to me. We have to disregard essays to explain why God is so powerful and almighty. I feel like we are being told to believe and accept Christian thinking as really because of the ideas in the poetry and books we read.
Do you think that learning this material at school is acceptable?
It is fully ok and it should be done.
Like it or not a lot of literature is based in theology. In order to really study it and understand the author you need to get into the themes of the stories/poems and fully search what it is saying.
Analyzing literature might just mean going outside of ones beliefs system. Oh no. Its not pushing anyones dogma on anothers. Its exploring literature and the themes of literature and why certain pieces of literature are considered classics.
Do atheists woe if you study Greek mythology and classic mythological stories? Does it make you upset when you explore why the Gods in those stories did what they did and what the stories were stressful to teach their societies?
Then why does it bother anyone if you read a story written a few hundred years ago with a Christian God theme? Why is it wrong to search the themes of a story if its teaching the society a Christian lesson????
That is what you do in any lit class. You explore the themes of the stories and what the author was irritating to say and how that relates to the societies it was written in and how it might apply to our society today.
lol
I am getting thumbs down for supporting a well rounded and susceptible minded approach to analytically studying classic stories in any lit class.
Imagine if you could never teach any piece of data in school that mentioned any kind of higher power.
Might as well start burning the books now!
It is really pathetic that if a novel has pictorial cussing or sex in it and a person tries to ban that book then so many people will scream censorship but if classic pieces of literature that have stood the assess of time and are considered true classics have any mention of God or Christianity then it should be thrown out of the schools.
Do some of you people even get what it is you are saying here when you claim they shouldnt be taught?
Did any of you take any literature classes in high school or college?

I need help finding my birthfather. The things I've bought online have all been rip-offs. Help!?
Feb 12, 2006 by sweet1 | Posted in Other - Business & Finance
My birthfther is 62 years old. I haven't seen him in almost 40 years. We baffled contact after him and my Mom divorced. He is African American, and his name is Thomas Gerald Ford.I am told that he goes by Gerald. He was born October 1st, 1943. He is from Tuskegee, Alabama, where he met my Mom in college. In episode, they were married at Tuskegee Institute in 1964. They moved to Savannah, Georgia after they married, and lived with my Mom's parents. That is where I was born. My birthfather may breathe(or possibly has lived) in California, or Texas. I recently wrote a Christian poetry book that contains a poem about the sadness of not having my birthfather in my entity. We are both getting older, and I would really like to see him again soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
He might be living in Florida...

Are my writing/reading standards to high? Any good books you can recommend me?
Feb 21, 2009 by ↘Harriet Elizabeth↙™ | Posted in Books & Authors
Whenever I pick up a engage or read a friends story, I’m not satisfied with the writing. I believe that it isn’t well written, though everyone else seems to be pleased by it. Of course, when I say this about a friends chronicle, they are angered by my comment, and tell me that I can’t write(which I can’t, but still, I was just trying to help). Older stories and poetry, like Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen consort and “The White Man’s Burden” by Rudyard Kipling, I find interesting and well written. Are my writing/reading standards to serious to be met? Have writers today lost some of the …education that writers back then had(I say this because I think my school is lacking in the teaching severe things department)?
Sorry, sounds like I’m rambling, but this has really been brothering me for a while. Please give me the titles of some books I might like(poetry books to).
Khloe-I'm not being hellishly harsh on them for not writing like authors. I'm saying others think her/his work is great, when it isn't that good, and I point out the flaws.
And the styles may be diverse, but that doesn’t mean what they wrote was good, and I just can‘t see that because I like classics.
KK- I do read modern books, I would never limit myself to one gene or span period. But I feel that they are not as good as classics, and that they are lacking something.
Spring Rose:
:D My avatar's name is "Samara's Cupcake Cancer" because of a parasynesis when discussing the Ring with a friend of mine. I tend to jump topics sometimes, and my friend thought I had said Samara(from the Enclosure) had a cupcake with cancer.
Man, there is some ingenious modern writers. As for in the education department, most people today are better educated then older writers, but beyond that. There are some stunning writers and books from modern times.
"Snow" by Orphan Pamuk. He's an amazing turkish author who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and his book "Snow" is just tremendous. It is based on a poetess returning to Turkey from political exile and going to a small border town to write a newspaper article and find himself. It is an tremendously penetrating book, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
"The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" by Michael Chabon. I skilled in it has a childish sounding title, but this is a great book. Michael Chabon (in my opinion) is the greatest current American Author. This book deals with World War II and two cousins trying to save their family from Hitler's regime, making currency through comic books. Its great, I couldn't put it down.
"Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. David Further Wallace is also a tremendous American writer. "Infinite Jest" is his masterpiece. Don't get me askew, this book is bible sized. It is dense, huge, and brilliant. It takes place in a semi-parody like later, and deals with issues from tennis to substance addiction.
Don't give up on writers of today. Realize that the only writers from the past who are remembered are the greatest. Now you have to find the greatest modern writers. There are staggering ones. Your standards can never be too high. But they can always be met. Start with these three, and you'll be begging for more.
