I n this dog eat dog world first-timer, or rookies are the first ones to get eaten when the plane goes down in the jungle. Countless numbers of first time authors are getting skin alive, by fly by night publishers. Some publishes change their name time and time again after they have been found out. Not because publishers offer you a cheep price of publishing your first book that does not mean you are going to get a penny from it, all you will ever get is one copy of the book, you will be lucky if you get more than one copies to show it off to friends.

STARTING OUT LEGALLY.

After writing your book, you need to get it edited, then sent it off to copyright office at the library of congress, in Washington DC. You will need to get a TX form and filled it out, and sent it with a copy of your manuscript along with $30 US. You need to send it return receipt. When you get your copyrights certificate in your hand. You will have two obtain. You can do self publication or you can get one of the big time publishers to publish the book for you. Go to barns and noble; pick up any book about the sized you want yours to be. Write to that publisher, and tell them about your book. After hearing from the lawyer, you will need to get the service of copyright lawyers.

GETTING THE SERVICE OF A COPYRIGHT LAWYER.

These kinds of lawyers do not come cheep. However, if you are going to get a publisher to publish your book this is the only way you will get any of that money. Some copyright lawyer want $1000 US even to take the case. If you sign a publisher’s contract without having a copyright lawyer do it for you and represent you, you will be like a dead duck when publishers saw that a lawyer is doing all the paperwork for you, and representing you, the publishers will act right.

If you sign those documentation by yourself and reject the service of a lawyer You can kiss your book good by. I lost three books, by trying to go cheep. Big time publishers are looking for talented authors, fly by night publishers do not think like that, they will take your book,

SIGN NO CONTRACT FROM THE INTERNET WITHOUT FIRST CONTACTING A LAWYER.

There are laws to protect you, but, IF you signing that phonies contract that was sent to you from the internet. Without first contacting the service of a copyright lawyer, you will not get a penny, and there is very little that you can do to them because you cannot prove how much copies have been sold. It look good and feel good to see your first book on the shelve, but will you make money? Will the book make money? Yes. Will you make money? No! Your publisher will.

IF YOU DECIDE TO GO CHEEP.

Now try and get a printer to print up two hundred copies of the book. Then try to get it sell on the Internet by yourself. Amazon. Com or some other web sites. Any time you make about $10,000 you can go to big time publisher and pay them to publish your book. As I said before, You will need a copyright lawyer to represent you.

BEWARE OF FLY BY NIGHT PUBLISHERS ON THE INTERNET.

These will take your money and you never hear from them again. They might put a message in your mailbox saying “Looser” The only cheep way of publishing your book is to do it yourself. All the expenses that are involved in publishing that book mount up in the thousand. $700-1000 publication is a trick. I been up that road before and it end in shit street.

Nothing they tell you is true, or even if they wrote it. How do you know how much copies of your books are printed and how much are sold? Do you think they are going to tell you? One woman did not even know her book was publish until she saw it on the shelve in one bookstore. I did not even know that my book was selling on the net, I ran into it by accident. I almost burst a blood vessel.

That $700-$1000 US that you would have given to some of these publishers to publish your first book, if you get a few copies of that book printed and sold on the net before you contact publishers you would be far better.

To get creditable publisher it will cause you any where from $8,000 US to ten thousand. However, you will make money because when these big time publishers publish your book you will go into Barns and Noble and see your book on the shelves. Cheep publishers told you that you will see it on the shelves, but you will never see it in your community.

The End

We made mistakes because we start our lives wrong.

Long before you were born, before you were conceived in your mother’s womb, even before your parents meet. God know you and wrote your name in his book. In that same time, God also sent his son Jesus to die for your sins. If you accept this same Jesus as your savor and continue with him, you shall never be defeated. Your life will never be the same. Make the decision for Jesus today, join the million of saints who answer this calling and went on to victors living. Your birth was not an accident. You are not a freak of nature. You are not bad lucky, it is God that has his hand on you, calling you to come to him

YOU MUST COME AND TASTE.

Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U)O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Isaiah 7:11 (ASV)Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.

Romans 3:23 (KJV)For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Then you must know that God sent his son Jesus to die for your sins.

CHRIST DIED FOR US.

Romans 5:6 (KJV)For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:7 (KJV)For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 1 Tim. 2:5-6 (KJV)For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; [6] Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.

Ephes. 2:8 (ASV)for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephes. 2:9 (ASV)not of works, that no man should glory. 2 Peter 3:18 (ASV)But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.

YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Rom 10:9 If you declare that Jesus is Lord, and believe that God brought him back to life, you will be saved. Rom 10:10 By believing you receive God's approval, and by declaring your faith you are saved.

YOU MUST CALL TO GOD.

Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

YOU MUST LOOK TO GOD.

Isaiah 45:22 (KJV) Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Ephes. 1:13 (KJV) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

NO OTHER PERSON CAN SAVE YOU.

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE YOU.

Philip. 2:6-10 (KJV) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

YOU MUST KNOW THAT GOD INVITES YOU TO COME.

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Rev. 22:17 (KJV)And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

GOD INVITES YOU TO CALL TO HIM

Acts 2:21 (KJV)And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:13 (KJV)For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Now bow your head and pray this prayer.

Dear God, our heavenly father, I am a sinner and need to be save, would you save me this moment from all my sin? Save me now, because your son Jesus had died for my sin. Thank you for saving me and give me peace, in Jesus name.

From this day on ward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Matthew.

1 Peter 2:2 (Living) Now that you realize how kind the Lord has been to you, put away all evil, deception, envy, and fraud. Long to grow up into the fullness of your salvation; cry for this as a baby cries for his milk. 1 Tim. 4:13 (KJV) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.

1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

OUR BODY WAS NOT REDEEM AT CONVERSION.

Romans 8:23 (GW) However, not only creation groans. We, who have the Spirit as the first of God's gifts, also groan inwardly. We groan as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the freeing of our bodies {from sin}.

Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

OUR VILE BODY WILL BE CHANGE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS.

Philip. 3:20 (KJV) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Philip. 3:21 (KJV) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.

Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

The first thing you will need to know is this. Beware of people who come laying hands on you say they are filling you with the Holy Ghost. That is how people get possess with demonic spirits. God will give you every thing you need to fit you out for his service in his own times. You do not need to push any thing nor to make any thing happen. Wait until God make it happen. Do not get too carry away into this charismatic stuff, I spent almost forty years in it, all those who try to fake it or pushed it got hurt.

You will need to read the book “War on the saints” By Jessie Penn-Lewis. The Christians literature Crusade, fort Washington, Pennsylvania 19034 U.S.A. ISBN 0-87508-958-4. Get this book before you start messing with Charismatic.

A NEW MIND-SET.

After the lord save a person there are some things that the person must do on their own. All the work is not just up to Jesus. You must developed a different mind set, from the one you have before you were converted. Not a holier that thou mind set but a new mind.

Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

GIVE YOURSELF AWAY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.

1Ti 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1Ti 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 1Ti 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 1Ti 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Jer 29:13 The Message Bible. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,

A window is opened, a bird eye view is given, a voice is heard, a man is enlightened a soul is saved.
