Mysterious ways
You have heard the saying that ‘God works in mysterious ways'. I am here to tell you that this saying is very true. As some of you know a friend of mine and I wrote a book called, ‘The Remaking of Earth”. I recently had a very disappointing thing happen. I had talked to Tate Publishing Company and at the time Mr. Tate told me that he would look at our book, which was already in print and for sale via Amazon and Book surge. To make a long story short, I received a contract in the mail at which my friends name was not on and they were asking for four-thousand dollars. Mr. Tate himself had told me that if they could get commitments for the book then they would redo ‘The Remaking of Earth’ which they in return would send a contract and pay us up to twenty thousand up front and do all the marketing, editing, ect. When I called and finally got hold of Mr. Tate to tell him about the mistakes in the contract, he told me that he could only get commitments for three thousand books. This meant that they could not accept our book.
I was distraught and wanted to quit writing altogether. I talked to my wife, Diane and to a friend I had met here on bravenet. I don’t think she would mind me saying her name. That friend is Storm and along with my wife they finally convinced me to continue writing because it was God’s will. Just because I had such a disappointment it did not mean that God wanted me to stop writing.
Thanks to God and to these wonderful people I did not stop writing and I am now writing the second book. Anyway, I was sitting here working on the computer and chatting with another friend when the phone rang. It was our local public library calling and they asked me to do a book signing here in my home town on April sixth. I said I would be more than happy to. Now this may sound like it is no big deal but to me it is. I now realize that God will promote his story in his time and not mine. I have never asked the library to have a signing for me at anytime, so therefore it had to be God’s will. So you see, God does work in mysterious ways even today. I now believe it more than ever. I ask all who read this to please pray for me and if you can, go to the links to Amazon or Booksurge and purchase a copy for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Our book contains no violence, cursing, or hatred what-so-ever.
