I've been a published author for 17 years, and during the many book signing events I've attended, my sales have varied. Early in my writing career as a Christian author, God chastened me for complaining, "Nobody is buying my book." The Lord let me know it wasn't about me, but HIM.
That moment changed my way of thinking that day at Border Books.
I do a lot of military base signing, and I always pray before I start and ask God to send the people. Recently, I was in San Antonio, and the move of God was unexplainable. After six days at three bases, I sold out of 246 books! I praise God because there was no way humanly possible that I could sell 75 in one day and not know it. God sent the people!
Jesus has a way of reaffirming His promises according to the Scripture. So, as many of us celebrate His birth on Christmas Day, I rejoice that Jesus not only died for me, but when He rose, He gave gifts. Besides my salvation, one of them was that He sent the people so He could minister to them and I could entertain them in my writings.
Merry Christmas, friends. I pray that God sends whatever blessing you need. Thank You, Jesus.
Check out my Christmas stories. The ones with the white stars are on sell.
