My review of Winning in Troubled Times: God's Solutions for Victory Over Life's Toughest Challenges: I've visited World Changers from time to time. My mom watches Rev. Dollar at least once a week, so I'm very aware of his ministry and his platform. However, this book surprised me. It is a discussion about how to live when life doesn't seem easy, something I think more ministers need to share with their congregations. Right now in this country we are facing many challenges and for so long many of us have been using the Bible like some sort of recipe book. What happens when you follow the recipes instructions and your dish fails? You throw it out. Better yet. Let's stop treating the Holy Bible like a cook book. Read this book.

To learn more visit http://www.themanbookerprize.com/

My pick: Andrea Levy's the Long Song
Why: It's a tribute to Jamaica, a slice of history of the last days of slavery in Jamaica, more than another story about violence and the horror of one of our world's shame. It's a story that swells you up with faith and the triumph and majesty of the human spirit.

First lines:

THE BOOK YOU ARE now holding within your hand was born of a craving. My mama had a story—a story that lay so fat within her breast that she felt impelled, by some force which was mightier than her own will, to relay this tale to me, her son. Her intention was that, once knowing the tale, I would then, at some other date, convey its narrative to my own daughters. And so it would go on. The fable would never be lost and, in its several recitals, might gain a majesty to rival the legends told whilst pointing at the portraits or busts in any fancy great house upon this island of Jamaica.

It was a fine ambition from a noble old woman for whom many of her years were lived in harsh circumstance. This wish demanded respect. Read more here.

Christian Fiction|TMA: Whe a Good Excuse to be Angry Is Not Enough

TThis past Friday someone(s) robbed our home.

We were not home; so we weren't harmed. Yet, I feel broken. Not because of the items stolen, not because our back door was damaged, not because someone uninvited themselves into our home. But because my daughter couldn't sleep, she's afraid to leave the home, she's afraid to play in her pool. Someone robbed my child of her happiness and peace. As a parent, that feeling is worse than anything.

That thief did that to us and I'm past angry. I'm so angry I don't want to talk to my friends or my family. I'm that angry. However, the Holy Spirit want let my anger fester and grow into something sinister. Instead it keeps forcing me to take control. It reminds me of who I am and whom I belong to. Continue reading...

Finding Your Ideal Reader #LiterarySoapbox

Today on Literary Soapbox we’re sharing tips and discussing how authors need to reach Thelma, a marketing ideal for Contemporary African American book byers.

Here is my condensed response:

IMO, the Thelma you describe is a group of women, not one person…

gist we have to move away from reaching authors based on demographics, but psychographics. How people shop? The psychology of buying and decision making.
Reaching these groups will not work with cookie cutter book marketing efforts. You can't duplicate what another author does. You have to build a campaign that does its best to reach your ideal reader.

Visit the blog for my entire response and my breakdown of two different types of Thelmas here, then respond there or on my blog your thoughts. You can also respond on Twitter use the hashtag #literarysoapbox

Christian Fiction TPT: Maid of Murder

This week's Christian Fiction Trailer Park Tuesday spotlight is Amanda Flower’s Maid of Murder.
About Maid of Murder:
India Hayes is a lot of things . . . starving artist who pays the rent as a college librarian, daughter of liberal activists, sister of an emotional mathematician, tenant of a landlady who has kissed the Blarney Stone one too many times, and a bridesmaid six times over. But she’s about to step into the most challenging role of her life: amateur sleuth. Childhood friend and now knockout beauty, Olivia Blocken is back in town to wed her bodybuilder fiancé with India a reluctant attendant . . . not just because the bridesmaid’s dress is a hideous mess, but because she’s betraying her brother. Mark still carries a torch for the bride who once broke his heart and sent his life into a tailspin. When Olivia turns up dead in the Martin College fountain and the evidence points to Mark, India must unmask the real culprit while juggling a furious and grieving Mother of the Bride, an annoyingly beautiful Maid of Honor, a set of hippie-generation parents, the police detective who once dated her sister and is showing a marked liking for her, and a provost itching to fire someone, anyone—maybe even a smart-mouthed librarian. India’s investigation leads her on a journey through childhood memories that she’d much rather have left in the schoolyard, but to avoid becoming the next victim, it is a path she must follow. Maid of Murder is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud mystery set in an amusing world of academia. Readers will fall in love with India Hayes’s fierce loyalty and wit.

Nothing is sacred, all bets are off, and the lives of these ladies will never be the same. Will they have the strength to hold on to their friendships and put their trust in God?

Defining Failure in Publishing

Image of Digital Book World

Leaders need to let go, to accept that we don’t know best. Our role is to create the environment in which a sense of urgency around experiments is engendered, to accept and allow failure, to encourage iterative improvement and speedy adaptation, to facilitate information flow throughout the organisation: to orchestrate a process of improvisation, a dance in which the aim is to fail better, cheaper and faster so that we can all work out what will succeed.- Rebecca Smart President and Managing Director of Osprey Publishing on: Publishers Need to Fail Better, Cheaper, Faster | Digital Book World
Yesterday’s DigibookWorld Round Table discussed Defining Failure. The gist of the chat focused on assessment and experimentation. With new and faster reporting technology will publishers, bookstores, and authors do more to fail, in order to succeed in this changing reading cultural landscape? Like tech companies who assess new product launches, will publishers began to assess why certain books introduced into the marketplace fail instead of just leaving the book out to die like a thirsty turtle in the middle of a dessert?

A few interesting questions were raised:

• Have  bookstores become literary showrooms?
• Are there things bookstores can do more to fail?
• Bookstores are currently serving as show rooms, whether they want to or not. Are book buyers going into bookstores looking at books, then buying them online?

Some even better tweets

•  @MatthewDiener: $500K advance for book that will be lucky to earn back vs. $500K for MarkLogic server and an end-to-end XML workflow #dbw
• @kratlee: literary fiction is the old spice of publishing - @glecharles
• @bakersmark: One thing we don't do in this industry is postmortems to discover why a book failed and what we could have done better
• @deegospel: Why aren’t bookstores cultural centers anymore? Where are the cultural centers & do they accommodate readers?
• @MatthewDiener: "We are great at failing with books everyday." @donlinn Grt pt; an industry surviving on 10% success rate w/ print.
• @deegospel: that is the great question: did the Old Spice social media blitz push sales?
• RT @TomThompson: Remember the Old Spice guy took off with HUGE ad spend. Social media wouldn't have worked without it

Now your thoughts…

Christian Fiction Blog’s First Grade Report Card

The State of African-American Christian Fiction 6 Years Later…

 Agape is the holy, unconditional love God gives us regardless of what we look like…and even regardless of how unloving our actions may sometimes be
-Sir John Templeton’s Pure Unlimited Love

Six years ago I began Christian Fiction Blog to spotlight books that we didn’t feature on our the newspaper and radio station I once worked for. As I began to share those authors with the blogosphere, I learned that more authors weren’t being featured across the country. They weren’t featured on radio, television, newspapers, or even bookstores. What shocked me most was Christian bookstores refused to stock these books and few Christian publishing houses had African-American authors. The more I learned; the more passionate I became about supporting these authors and dialoguing with the publishing industry and Christian readers about this issue.
Six years later I wonder have we made any strides. 
Here’s my short assessment. Click here.

CFBA: Back on Murder

This week, the
Christian Fiction Blog Alliance
is introducing
Back On MurderBethany House (July 1, 2010)
byJ. Mark Betrand


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

J. Mark Bertrand has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Houston. After one hurricane too many, he left Houston and relocated with his wife Laurie to the plains of South Dakota.

Mark has been arrested for a crime he didn't commit, was the foreman of a hung jury in Houston, and after relocating served on the jury that acquitted Vinnie Jones of assault. In 1972, he won an honorable mention in a child modeling contest, but pursued writing instead. Besides his personal website, visit his Crime Genre website at http://www.crimegenre.com/.

The next book in this series, Pattern Of Wounds will come out in the summer of 2011.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Det. Roland March is a homicide cop on his way out.
A missing girl. A corrupt investigation. They thought they could get away with it, but they forgot one thing:

Roland March is BACK ON MURDER...

Houston homicide detective Roland March was once one of the best. Now he's disillusioned, cynical, and on his way out. His superiors farm him out on a variety of punishment details. But when he's the only one at a crime scene to find evidence of a missing female victim, he's given one last chance to prove himself. Before he can crack the case, he's transferred to a new one that has grabbed the spotlight--the disappearance of a famous Houston evangelist's teen daughter.
All he has to do? Find the missing teenage daughter of a Houston evangelist that every cop in town is already looking for. But March has an inside track, a multiple murder nobody else thinks is connected. With the help of a youth pastor with a guilty conscience who navigates the world of church and faith, March is determined to find the missing girls while proving he's still one of Houston's best detectives.

Battling a new partner, an old nemesis, and the demons of his past, getting to the truth could cost March everything. Even his life.

AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:

Forgiveness

Sincerely asking God to let those who have
hurt us off the hook



Total forgiveness is a choice. It is not a feeling—at least at first—but is rather an act of the will. It is the choice to tear up the record of wrongs we have been keeping. When we develop a lifestyle of total forgiveness, we learn to erase the wrong rather than file it away in our mental computer.

Total forgiveness must take place in the heart. Confidence toward God is ultimately what total forgiveness is all about; He is the One I want to please at the end of the day. He cares and knows whether I have truly and totally forgiven, and when I know I have His love and approval, I am one very happy and contented servant of Christ.4


Unforgiveness

Living with bitterness, anger, and self-pity because of what another did to hurt us



Bitterness and unforgiveness demonstrate an inward condition. It is an excessive desire for vengeance that comes from deep resentment. It heads the list of things that grieve the Spirit of God. It is one of the most frequent causes of people missing the grace of God.

This inward condition of unforgiveness will manifest itself in many ways—losing your temper, high blood pressure, irritability, sleeplessness, obsession with getting even, depression, isolation, a constant negative perspective, and generally feeling unwell.

We must, therefore, begin to get rid of a bitter and unforgiving spirit; otherwise, the attempt to forgive will fail.5





Forgiveness

Ask Yourself

Do I have resentment or bitterness in my heart because of something someone did to me or said about me? Do I lack inner peace?



Relinquishing bitterness is an open invitation for the Holy Spirit to give you His peace, His joy, and the knowledge of His will.



Remember

But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

—Matthew 6:15, niv


Unforgiveness

Ask Yourself

Are you praying for God’s blessings to rain on the lives of your offenders? Why not?



The desire to punish another is the opposite of perfect love and total forgiveness.



Remember

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.

—Colossians 3:13, niv
