Wow. That's an impressive array of information. I'm coming to the conclusion that fighting with natural means is never going to succeed. We have to invoke the angel armies of God and the Holy Spirit to intervene.

Social Networks - Are They a Blackhole to Christian Authors
One of the first things a neophyte writer learns after celebrating the publication of his or her first book is that the bulk of the marketing responsibility falls on the author.

Steven Clark Bradley said… - Hi Donald,
Thank you so much for your very true comment. You are right. i truly feel that the day we now live in is one in which Satan has infiltrated the family, the government, the schools, the church. The last days will be days of the liberation of evil that God had held at bay since the war in heaven. Now, we see the birth pangs the revelation of the man who will control the world, and he may live in the White House right now. Thank you for your support and it makes me energized. If you send me an email address where I can attach items, I will send you a free ebook copy of Nimrod Rising. Bet you'd love it! Have a great day!

Hi Danielle, I just bought Turtle Soup. i'm on for a getaway
December 1 is always a little sad for a WriMo (a writer who participated in the literary frenzy of National Novel Writing Month). And so I am sorry it is over. This was one of my better years at it. Lin was in a very chatty mood and I got some pro...
