Title: Back to Single
By: Evinda Lepins
ISBN#978-1-61862-837-4
Review Date: May 26, 2013
A Christian Book Review
9.9 out of 10.0 stars

Back to Single, the first book of a trilogy series, by multi-published Christian author, Evinda Lepins, is a refreshing fiction novel based on a woman's journey to recovery after divorce.  Beginning with a phone call from her husband, life was never again to be the same.  The first chapter draws readers in through the crisis moment dialogue as we learn more about the stunning moment that ended Lacy's seven-year marriage.  The journey unfolds, unveiling that there is much more to be recovered from.  The novel delicately, but soberly tells the story of one woman's journey from unending heartache to a new discovery of life in Jesus Christ. 

This journey through real life touches the very heart of one's soul.  Often there is much more that is hidden under the surface that God wants to unmask in order for one to experience life more abundantly in Him.  The phrase, "peeling the layers of the onion" comes to mind as this story tells the journey of the heart and unveils the work that God does in all of us through our difficulties.  As individuals may have their own "story," one will relate to this refreshing story of redemption. 

This is a highly recommended must-read for those that enjoy true-to-life fiction novels that weave the redemptive theme of the transforming power of Jesus Christ.  A wonderfully, well-written and encouraging fiction novel that gives hope to those that think they are at the "end."

For more information about the author, her books and some great ministry, visit Evinda Lepins. You can get your copy of Back to Single at Amazon, in Kindle Edition and at other fine online bookstores. Be sure to also visit the Chicklit Power Ministries Blog.

Calming the Storm Within: How to Find Peace in this Chaotic World

Calming the Storm Within: How to Find Peace in this Chaotic World from multi-published Christian author, Jim Lange, is a book all should read.  In this chaotic world, humanity needs an anchor to the soul.  This anchor is none other than Jesus Christ.  From a biblical foundation, the author explores great testimonies to the transcending peace of God from individuals who experienced the most dire of circumstances.  In this, the author poignantly shares his story as well, transparently giving readers insight into his world that caused him to seek change and peace from God.  God is the only One in this universe that can give us peace that surpasses all understanding.  Come and learn what Scripture has to say about the peace of God.  Inspiring and encouraging, this book is filled with sound biblical wisdom.  One will find within the pages that the presence of God leads to peace despite circumstances.    

Jim Lange is currently Chapter President of Truth At Work, an organization which provides a life and business changing experience for business and ministry leaders through monthly roundtable groups.  These groups help and challenge one another to grow personally, professionally and spiritually.  He also is the founder and President of Five Feet Twenty - a business and ministry that helps doctors and business owners to consistently and effectively impact the spiritual health of their patients and employees.  He currently resides in Lambertville, Michigan with his wife Connie and their three children: Kristin, Molly and Robert.

"This is the best book on attaining peace that I've ever read. Jim Lange takes us deep into the scriptural foundation for true peace and, through a transparent window into his personal life, gives us hope that we needn't spend our days in anxiety and worry. Calming the Storm Within has all the makings of a classic, but for now I recommend making it your personal and valued companion." ~ John D.

I frequently include little Q&A's in my SharingwithWriters newsletters. Usually the questions are directed to me personally, but this is one I picked up from a reporter looking for information on Help A Reporter Out.  It's about Pinterest, which I'm finding both useful for marketing and lots of fun.
 
 
Q&A a la Ann Landers

 

Pinterest Question from HARO
 
By Carolyn Howard-Johnson

If you aren't using HARO (Help A Reporter Out) to reach out to those who need you and what you write about as a resource, you should be. Here is more on my SharingwithWriters blog for you, if you aren't already a subscriber there: http://sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com/2013/03/getting-smart-about-help-reporter-out.html Keep in mind, the idea is somehow tie what the reporter searching for help needs with what you need—that is a mention (at least!) of your book, blog, or Web site!

 

HARO Question:

 

Pinterest is described as being THE social media tool last year.
It is a unique site in that users themselves post links to
products that they like, sharing them in albums with friends and
like minded individuals. The question then is how do you use
Pinterest for marketing purposes, and how does that differ from
your marketing strategy on other social sites such as Facebook
and Twitter? Further, does the fact that Pinterest has such a
high female demographic influence your strategy, and again, how
does this apply to your marketing on other social sites?

 

My answer to the Pinterest request:

 

Karen, of course I use Pinterest. 

 

The difference from most other social networking is, those who use Pinterest for marketing must adapt their campaigns to the bulletin board approach and be more "great marketing" aware of how to promote it. That is they must use the aspect of marketing that says great marketing is not about selling but about sharing with people who will benefit from what you do or what you sell. They must do more sharing than usual and they must provide something on their boards that will help or entertain those who come by to visit.

 

I make a greater effort on Pinterest than any of my other social network sites to connect with people who have pinned my images. I use the comment feature when they pin my book's cover images and then I either follow one of their boards, pin, or like one of their images.  I'd say about 95% follow up by pinning from one of my boards  again...and again. So it works as a networking tool, too.

 

 I also use my newsletter, blog, and Web site to tell prospective pinners that when they "favor" me (that is pin one of my book covers), I favor them. You can find the little sidebar element I use on several pages of my Web site  at http://howtodoitfrugally.com/social_media.htm though it is just one of the promotions I use.

 

One my mantras: You gotta promote your promotions.  That goes for social media (including Pinterest).

 

I am the author of two multi award-winning series of books on marketing--one for writers and one for retailers. Even The Frugal Editor touches on the importance of editing as part of a marketing campaign. I've included information on them below.

 

You can e-mail me for a media kit or download one from the media room on my Web site at http://howtodoitfrugally.com.

 

PS: We often can't actually trace results from the online marketing we do but my tally of sure-results from Pinterest so far come to:
1. Two streaming radio interviews
2. At least 100 re-pins of my book covers that showcase them to these Pinterest members' followers
3. One request for a blog guest post.


That's really quite a lot considering so many think that Pinterest isn't for authors. (-:

Forgive Us Our Debts As We Forgive Our Debtors - get it at Amazon, or in Kindle Edition

Multi-published Christian author, Grace Dola Balogun

Forgiveness is sometimes the hardest thing that any human being must do. It is not always easy to forgive those who have offended us, done wrong to us or deeply hurt us. It is equally as difficult for us to sometimes ask others to forgive us when we have done them wrong.

Multi-published Christian author, Grace Dola Balogun, explores the issue of forgiveness from a biblical perspective.  With the Scripture from the Lord's Prayer as a backdrop, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. . . ," the author delves into why forgiveness is monumentally important for the Christian spiritually, but for emotional and physical healing as well.  The author points out that unless we forgive others, the Father in Heaven cannot forgive our sins.  This is a stark warning against any kind of judgment, resentment or grudges that we may wish to hold within our consciousnesses.  A release of others is therefore required, which brings amazing results.  Come and learn how forgiveness can impact every area of your life.

This is a highly informative read and is written with biblical wisdom.  This book is recommended for new and mature believers alike and can also be used in a group Bible study setting.  What is refreshing about this book is that the foundation is formed from Scripture.  The author does not preach her opinions, but merely the power and authority of the Word of God in humanities' lives.  If you enjoy a biblically sound teaching based on Scripture, you will enjoy this book.

Get your copy of  Forgive Us Our Debts As We Forgive Our Debtors at Amazon, in Kindle Edition and at other fine online bookstores. For more information about the author and her books visit Author Grace Dola Balogun.
