Within 90 days you could
be a published author! It all depends on where you are in making
your dream of being an author a reality.
Maybe
I am assuming too much, but my guess is that you, like thousands of other pastors, have a deep desire to transform your
spoken messages into a well-written book that could:
-
extend the reach of your preaching and teaching ministries
-
preserve
messages truly inspired by God
-
and
allow your ministry to continue long after you have retired or moved on to Glory.
Even if you haven't written your first word, or you have felt you didn't have time to write due
to the demands of the ministry, we have a system that could have you published in 6-12 months. If you have already started
on a manuscript and you just need editing, you could be published in as little as 90 days. Actually writing a book is
much easier than most people understand. In fact, writing is the easy part. The problem for most people is the
obstacle of getting the book published. "At Dare 2 Dream Books, we make publishing possible.
We are committed to working with you to transform your messages into print.
Dream with
me for just a moment. Picture your best, God-inspired messages being read by
people throughout your community, state, country, and perhaps the world because someone in your congregation passed your book
on to someone who passed it on. That’s the power of the written word.
Think about getting a call from a complete stranger somewhere hundreds or even thousands of miles from
you calling you and telling how your messages transformed her life.
I was traveling just a few months ago and met someone who had received
a copy of my marriage counseling book from a friend. He spend our first fifteen
minutes together simply thanking me for the difference my book had made in his life.
At that moment in time I realized that all the blood, sweat and tears
that went into the writing and publishing of my book could not compare to the satisfaction that I had deeply touched and inspired
the life of someone I had never even met. At that moment I understood
the power of the written word and how it had expanded my counseling ministry.
Think about the deep feeling of fulfillment when one of your very
own members asks you to autograph your book because your messages had a profound influence on his life. Then he asks you to sign several other books for his family and friends.
For the past several years my congregation has consisted of the multitude of people I minister to through my counseling
ministry. I had been counseling a couple for over a year before my marriage counseling
book came out. When it was finally in print, I gave them a copy just out of gratitude
for their faithfulness in coming to counseling. I must admit I truly felt blessed
when the husband, who had been the most resistant in the process, came to me after the session and simply said. “Please autograph our book. We want it to remind us
of our valuable sessions and time spent in you office.”
That’s the power of Dare 2 Dream Books’ new program entitled “Voice Into Print” (VIP). We at D2D have developed a simple, economical, professional, and timely way to publish
your book or books.
Traditionally, you would labor over a manuscript until you thought it was perfect then you would
contact traditional publishers who would write you a kind letter of rejection. The
decision to publish was theirs not yours. Some editor, looking for the next million
dollar seller skimmed your laborious efforts and because you were not someone well known or your subject matter was not politically
correct decided that you didn’t deserve their attention.
D2D has created a paradigm shift. With Dare 2 Dream, you determine whether or not your book is
worth publishing. We at D2D simply offer consultation in concept development,
organization, continuity, the flow of the book and readability. If you want it
into print, we are committed to making it happen from concept to hard copy.
At D2D the priorities of ministry and mission supersede money.
We promise to work with a “limited budget” mentality. We
will make it happen both economically as well as strategically. We’ll
talk cost in a minute, but I promise what we are offering will blow you away!
Being an ordained minister myself as well as holding an earned Doctorate, I understand the desire
of most ministers to publish. I literally self-published my first major book
dealing with conflict within the Church. The advertising alone costs me thousands
of dollars. I published my second book on marriage counseling through a non-traditional
publisher who charged me thousands of dollars to market my book after they published it.
I knew there had to be a better way—an easier, less expensive way to publish my books. I had already learned the important lesson that if I wanted any marketing done, it
was up to me to make it happen. After two years of extensive research and the
completion of my third book, I decided to seek God’s help in finding that “better way.”
After I received my first shipment of books at
a total investment of a few hundred dollars, I knew I had discovered how to get my books into print and into the marketplace
without mortgaging my house or maxing-out my credit cards.
What I discovered in this process gave birth to Dare 2 Dream Books.
Not only have I the desire to publish, I also believe God revealed
to me that thousands of pastors have the same desire, and are faced with the same hurdles and obstacles. From that revelation was born both our mission and our ministry. D2D is committed to publishing as many books as possible for pastors such as you and to do so economically
and compassionately so that virtually anyone can transform his spoken messages into a written record that can expand his or
her ministry and outreach.
Let’s talk about marketing for a moment. Most
ministers are not seeking fame and fortune. If God bestows such gifts they are
accepted with a grateful heart. I believe that many ministers simply
want a written record of their inspired messages. The fact is that the majority of ministers desire to publish in order to provide another vehicle to open doors and
expand their sphere of influence. But that’s not the bottom
line. I also believe that they already have a ready-make market in their congregation
and community as well as their association with other ministers from which to launch a successful marketing effort.
Everyone wants to know what is in it for him, so allow me to address this important question. What
is the value of publishing with
D2D? Consider the following:
The executive
staff of D2D are committed Christians with a heart for ministry. Why
is that important to you? It’s important because we view our mission as
a support ministry to pastors across this great nation. We are not concerned
with political correctness, we are concerned about publishing the inspired Word of God as it is preached by his chosen leaders.
We have no doctrinal agenda. We are
true to publishing your inspired messages not ours. If you believe that what
you are preaching is inspired of God, we believe you should consider preserving and publishing what you proclaim. What this means to you is that you control the content of your work, not us.
We offer you the ability to get your book delivered to you quickly and economically. We believe that you cannot find a better total publishing package. Although we must make a living to survive just like you, we choose to offer our publishing package at the
lowest possible price while still keeping our doors open. This translates to
a golden opportunity for you to finally fulfill your dream.
We offer the all the same basic services as other publishers you research on the internet,
only we do it for a lot less. In
fact we use the same printer as companies like Zondervan, Simon and Schuster and Oxford University Press. This simply means that you will not be sacrificing quality for economy.
You also keep the rights to your book. The
intellectual property and copyright of your book belongs to you. We offer you
a non-exclusive agreement that allows you to take your book to another publisher if you so desire, or sell the rights to a
traditional publisher.
In addition, your profit depends on you because you not only make the decision to publish; you also determine
the price your book will sell for.
It doesn't matter what stage you are at. From just dreaming about publishing to having a
manuscript ready to go, Dare 2 Dream is committed to assisting you in publishing your important message and to do so economically.
I promise you, you can afford to publish.
Contact us to discover how through publishing you can extend the reach of your ministry, the
life of your mesage and the breath of your mission. When you call ask about how you can receive a free copy
of my most recent book, The Most Coveted Secret of the Ages.
We are excited about the potential of this offer. We
know from first hand experience the difference being published can make, so why not contact us immediately for more
