The finances of book publishing–The House edition
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
I’m not usually much of a bandwagon jumper. But in the past two weeks I have been in numerous conversations with authors, friends in the publishing industry, and folks in my own enterprise about the costs of publishing and digital books.

How much can we trust the Spirit in our small groups, part 2
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
Been teaching story at my church lately. But I use “teaching” loosely. Really, story is teaching me.

FREE book with your feedback
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
