Don’t skip your beta/proof-readers!

Working my way through the loose-ends process of preparing the SEDP book for publication. For any other writers out there, don’t–I repeat, *do not*–skip the final steps of recruiting beta/proof-readers for your manuscript! Having more eyes on your work is crucial to polishing it for release. This is beyond true. It is fundamental to the success of your work.

Just sayin’! ðŸ™‚

“Seven Essential Daily Prayers” book Coming *soon!*

Final cover design for "Seven Essential Daily Prayers" book.
The Final Cover Design for SEDP!

This is an exciting day! It has been a long time coming! Yesterday I ordered three proof copies of SEDP from Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), the self-publishing service from Amazon.com. The SEDP book has been over two years in development. I am beyond ecstatic that it will be available in just a few more weeks!

Here is the list of the “Seven Essential Daily Prayers:”

  1. Purity in My Mind
  2. Righteousness in My Heart
  3. Integrity in My Life
  4. Joy in My Spirit
  5. Strength for My Body
  6. Wisdom for My Counsel
  7. To be a Godly Influence in the World

The book is filled with personal stories, historical illustrations, and biblical insights. And, it is only about 125 pages! The paperback edition is 8″x5″ — perfect for carrying with you when you travel, commute, place in a purse or backpack. It will also be a great discussion starter for Bible study groups and prayer meetings. I will be developing study guides for the project soon with several different types of groups in mind, e.g. men’s prayer breakfast, women’s Bible study, church mid-week service, or just for individual devotions.

Stay tuned. I’ll let you know when the whole project is a “go!”
