I am the author of Leading Through Adversity: Lessons from the Prophets. This is an excellent blueprint for leaders in all genres but particularly Christian Leaders. I have enjoyed much success in promoting and selling the book but realized that if I'd simply increased my efforts by 30% I could have tripled my success. Five years after first publishing Leading, I felt the call of God to do more! This more has resulted in Dvineexpressions Book Club, LLC. (DBC)
So the goal of DBC is to empower other Self-Published Christian Authors to strive for excellence in developing, marketing, planning and spreading the word about their God-inspired body of work.
Rejecting Recession-Pastor Andre Butler shares how in "Not In My House"
I’ve made a decision: I’m not going to participate in therecession. ("Not in My House" Day 1 pg. 4)
As a young Pastor who started a church with less than 10 people I believe I was doing what God wanted. In the first year, I was led by God to lead the people in a Debt-Cancellation Ministry. That was in 2005 when the economic situation in the nation was pretty stable and in fact growing. This was not to be a Mortgage Burning Debt Ministry but a Personal Debt Cancellation Ministry. I used biblical scripture, consulted several financial experts and as a result a congregation of less than 50 people has canceled to date nearly $200,000 in personal debt!
I believe that amount would not be only a fraction of our total debt had we been using Pastor Andre Butler's groundbreaking new book,Not In My House: Take the 28-Day Challenge to Recession-Proof Your Future(Higher Life, $14.99, Feb. 1, 2009). Pastor Butler's book combines all the resources that I have used into a straight-forward and practical manual to achieve financial freedom from the yoke of debt. In the book, he tackles the highly controversial prosperity gospel and successfully distinguishes the ministry's intent from the "get rich quick" schemes that have constantly plagued this legitimate ministry. His great reliance upon biblical authentication of God's desire that the people of God prosper will make a believer out of those who read the book with a desire to live abundantly in spirit, health and wealth.
This 28-Day Guide to a changed heart and mind-set about money and a biblical view of authority over finances and God's favor upon God's people will assuredly lead many individuals, families and churches to a place of confidence in knowing that God truly desires that we prosper in all areas of our lives.
The current global economic crisis is not a time for those who believe in the One who has full authority over all things to shrink and fade away-it is however a time for us to boldly proclaim those things that the Lord has already given us. Pastor Butler says,
"You can be God’s instrument to minister to
a world drowning in recession. In fact, God
wants you to do that."
This is not a book that should be left on a shelf, but one to be adopted in your home finances, church budgets and business administration.
