D EDICATION

To the many men and women, both living and already gone on before us, who have entrusted their precious manuscripts to me over the years. It has been a privilege serving you, and I hope to serve this new generation for many years to come.

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

Writing any book is a big task that requires many hands. Even the content can never be claimed by one single person, as we all learn from each other. This is particularly true of Publishing and Selling Your Book Made Easy . This book is the result of many years of working together with others to get the vision of Gods people into written form, and many people have blessed me along the way.

I am particularly indebted to Don Nori, Founder of Destiny Image of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, to Bob Whitaker, Sr., Founder of Whitaker House in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, and to Bishop and Mrs. Dennis Leonard, Founders of Legacy Publishers International of Denver, Colorado. Through these and my own publishing ventures, I have worked on some seven hundred different manuscripts over a period of many years, and you can imagine that Ive learned a few things in the process.

Today we can produce quality books and eBooks in record time and at the lowest cost ever. This all benefits Gods Kingdom. Our goal is to continue to make the process as painless and economical as possible so that more and more of those who have a story to tell and a message to convey can find their intended audience, and in the process, God can be glorified. My thanks to all who have added their wisdom to these pages.

C ONTENTS Harold made the process of transitioning to published Christian writing SO EASY for me. He was helpful at every step. His knowledge of the Scriptures was invaluable. I had no former knowledge of the world of professional publishing, and so everything was new, but Harold made it EASY . He patiently explained each step and the myriad of details. Then he let me respond at my own pace, so that I was not overwhelmed. We have published three books so far with him, and expect another one down the road. I highly recommend McDougal & Associates to anyone who wants to get Gods Word out to the world. Donald C. Mann Landenberg, Pennsylvania Author, Discovering Our Redemption, Battle Prayer for Divine Healing and OK, God, Now What? I would like to express my gratitude for all your hard work, your insight and the professional manner you exhibited in the preparation and publication of my book. You made this journey very EASY for me. Jody Amato Pastor, Highway to Heaven Walker, Louisiana Author, Cinderellas Slipper and If the Shoe Fits I have total confidence in you. Youre a man of great integrity and efficiency. John R. Chappell, III Founder of The Chappell Ministries Bartow, Florida Author, Free from the Past and Living in His Glorious Presence Dear Brother Harold, Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay awhile and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same again. Thank you for stepping into my life. Judson Cornwall Revivalist and Author Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 1 Corinthians 4:1, KJV So look at Apollos and me as mere servants of Christ who have been put in charge of explaining Gods mysteries. (NLT) So then, let us [apostles] be looked upon as ministering servants of Christ and stewards (trustees) of the mysteries (the secret purposes) of God. (AMP) Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. (NKJV) I NTRODUCTION
